I went for my friend's birthday party. First of all it was super packed and nobody was dancing. Once my girls found a spot to start dancing on the dance floor, one of the security guards came and pushed us super hard and told us to move so other people could come in. I would never go there again.

Good: 1) The bathrooms are kept clean, (even though outdated) and the bathroom assistant has everything. 2) You can usually get in free before midnight ladies, sometimes free for men before 11PM gents. 3) They offer a full menu. More than wings and fries. They have soul food, lobster, collards, seafood, macaroni and cheese. (Maybe a take on the Harlem theme.) 4) The sections allow you space to eat, do hookah, and enjoy the club scene without sore feet. 5) Owner/Manager Diana was very sweet and professional. 6) It gets pretty lit on Friday nights for the younger (21-30 Crowd) The Djay had a nice selection. 7) The bartender did a great job with my drink. My line sister said the wings were tasty. 8) Our server was beautiful inside and out. She had a great attitude and kept checking on us. I hate when clubs/bars hire rude wait staff. 9) We had a VIP feel on a budget. We bought hookah, some people had food, every one ordered at least one drink, and the section was free, plus $30 gratitude for the bottle of Champagne. 10) Security will check your bag, and remove people that are fighting or causing problems :) 11) The hookah was strong, but I recommend the pineapple mango flavor. Cost this night was $30, not too bad to split with 5-8 people. But you may need two for faster rotation. 12) Lanier parking was secure in a garage, and only $6 :) Bad: 1) The process of renting the section was unorganized. My boyfriend was told that he would have a free birthday section for up to 8 People. Despite of his advanced text communication , and attempt to ask as many questions as possible, with Amber the promoter, there were some things not told to us until the last minute. For example, Amber texted him at 3PM to tell us that all guests had to be present by 11:30 PM to guarantee the section. Previously we were told, women free before midnight and men free before 11:30. This ended up working out in our favor because the club was a GHOST TOWN, at 11 PM when we arrived. Another example: The Free party package was supposed to include a seated section for up to 8 people, and a complimentary bottle of champagne. ) I told him that free does not always mean free, and turned out to be slightly right. At the club, the lovely server advised that that free bottle has a $30 gratuity. Also, my boyfriend's brother was charged $10 to get in even though he was supposed to be free, and arrived by 10:30 PM. All male guests arrived before 11:30 PM, and all female guests arrived before Midnight. I did not like that because even the general public was not paying to enter the club. 2) It is free before 11:30 PM and Midnight, but it also lame during this time. Sorry not sorry. IF you are not on a budget, frugal, or whatever you want to call it. Do not come before midnight. The party picks up around 12:30 AM on Friday nights. The music is not the best until after the crowd rolls in. If you do decide to come in, I recommend that you pregame, or go to the bar to break the ice and loosen up. All the drunk people were having fun. All 4 of them. 3) The freaks come out at night, and so do the people with no home training. You can bring the hood to VIP, but you can't expect them to leave the hood behavior at home. As the party was finally getting good, some people wanted to cause a scene and try to fight on the dance-floor. Things went downhill from here, but I will say SECURITY Did their job, and removed the problem. 4) The first hookah kept on coming apart. You had to keep putting the hose back into the base. It got a little annoying. Overall, Harlem Nights exceeded my expectations. The customer service was good. The DJay had us dancing for a good 2 hours. The bathroom attendant made me smile. The bartender hooked me up with that Jose Cuervo. I was feeling good, when my song came on (Rihanna and DJ Kaled, "Wild Thoughts"). And most importantly, my boyfriend enjoyed his birthday here, maybe too much. He said he will never forget this birthday. Mission Accomplished. It was not perfect but They get an A for effort. Thank you Diana.

All of these reviews are outdated. I'm from out of town and this place is solid. Hookah is on point! Drinks are good but you have to spend, so if you come make sure to be ready to spend some loochi. Besides that good music, great service, and renovations look great.

No power at 2 am.. it’s soo hot like an oven.. no need to wear clothes 😵

The lights were pretty but the drink was weak and all they played was trap music. I don’t listen to that music so I was just happy i didn’t have to pay to get in, it was a disappointment. I wanted to go back to Edgewood. It was live there and there was parking. There were bars right next to each other and restaurants.

It's a horrible place, unless your looking to fight. Waiting outside was a patty wagon, while idiots still fought 10 feet from the 20 police that were there. I'm there to enjoy myself, not to have horrible service from waitress, bouncers all have an attitude, seems like everyone's there to fight. Got the hell out of there, went to cigar bar were things we calm again.

I wish I read the reviews before I went to this place. 10 of us ladies traveled from up the East Coast and West Coast for a girls weekend in Atlanta. We found this club online and seemed pretty decent. We thought they served food/ dinner so we got there around 9:15pm. They didn't open until 10pm..No problem we can come back after grabbing a drink down the street. We walk back and arrive around 10:05pm with the intention on eating there before we partied..The security guard was a complete jerk. It started to rain, mind you NO ONE was in the line except us. However he made half of us stand in the rain because we needed us to be in a single file line--NO ONE was there! All he would have to was let us scoot in under the tent.THEY were late opening! A woman came out and apologized, she was nice but acted like she did us a favor for not charging entry...Ladies were free until 11:30pm?? We upgraded to VIP for every club we went to that weekend...except Harlem Nights. The staff (security jerk) really made our visit un-pleasant...No one wants to drop for VIP after that. I've always enjoyed my visits to the ATL, but this place was the worst. I will slam this place anytime I'm asked about clubs to visit. I will say...our waitress was the BEST! Food was great too...but you need to talk to your Security...I'm still pissed thinking about it....

The assigned waitress was not available to us for whatever reason. I tipped her in the beginning when I bought the bottle. I didn't really see her after. Outside of the waitress. It was a nice place. I will return but I will request a diffrent waitress if need be.

Only thing good about this place was the chicken! We visited from out of town over the weekend and on both their website and EventBrite started that Stevie J would be there hosting a party, even when we called to pay for our VIP booth the guy that answered the phone confirmed it. We got there the smell of the sea was so overwhelming, there was no Stevie J, not even a crowd, our waitress was very slow, we had to go and find her several times and go stop her from drinking and smoking hookah to attend to us. She never cleaned off our spot, left the empty cups and plates which we cleaned ourselves. She spilled a drink on one in our group and NEVER came back to clean it up. Any establishment I've ever been to that does hookah and especially VIP continuously reups the coals when asked she said we have to pay for it😔 To top of off we had to we never got the bottle we ordered, and there was only 1 bartender at the bar that we had to walk to for our drinks. So very disappointed with this place.

I had fun. It wasn’t soo packed that I couldn’t move. My section was affordable and came with a drink tab and a hookah included. All of the staff were nice to me which is always refreshing

Ya boy is from Chicago. Paying $60 per person to enter the spot it lame. Yall keep taxing.

Hate to say it, but the most fun you'll have is in VIP with drinks coming all night. The DJ is great!, but the crowd this place attracts isn't very sociable. Seems like most people come to stand around and people watch. $10 for a Sex on the Beach??? I've had better :(

The layout is nice...the lights, the art, the design on the walls are so pretty. Artsy people would love that but it's too small when it gets crowded, there's nowhere to sit if you don't get VIP or get there early. All they played for Halloween was trap music and mostly like local indie trap. Couldn't really dance to it. Parking was $10 and parking is hard to find. I prefer to go back early in the night to actually enjoy it. But it's a hood spot.

I had my birthday party here this Saturday. We had a great time celebrating.I got the free birthday section. Before my night I stayed in contact with the vip rep via email. They were always polite and and stayed attentive to all my concerns and questions. I mean like I had questions every other day and was getting a reply every single time. Not right away but at least i got one within 24hrs. Which to me was a plus. When we showed up the security at the door was very cooperative to a certain situation I had. I respect the way they handled the problem. The venue was nice. The staff was attentive and the DJ kept us turnt. It was like he knew just what to play to switch it up but kept the energy flowing all night. I will be returning. Thanks for making my night bomb af Harlem Nights I had too much fun.

I had a blast the atmosphere was outstanding
