Marquette Restaurant & Lounge

Bar Lounge Night club

😠 The night of 4-1-2022 I came to this club expecting it to be fun. This was the worst unprofessional club experience in my life no cap. The bouncers outside tried to fight me and jump me, while I was just standing outside waiting for my friend to come out. I wasn’t taking any disrespect from them, so... People often mention club, good, time, night, spot, music, money, experience, drinks, great,

    This place rips off the LGBTQIA Community. Every way they can charge the disenfranchised they will. 80 bucks for a vip line but 20 for the same entry on the line behind the building. 20 bucks for reentry just even if you go outside to your car for a moment....no one tells you it’s 20 but once you walk back In it’s 20. The security loves it....they seemingly get off on charging people extra for things they have no set price on. Once I complained about it being 20 per person to come back In they brought it down to 10. Price gouging and more than likely stealing and pocketing untaxed money. The “guards” at the front are more focused with feeling you up and taking your money than anything else. I asked for a receipt for the extra charge as we were here promoting our business and we were laughed at and asked why. Well, because we do our taxes.

    Ratchet Level: High Music: Rap/Trap Cover: $10/$15 (Cash Only) I typically don’t hit after hours spots and like to call it a night after about 2am, but the party was just getting started! This venue doesn’t open until 3am. Security at the front door and a cashier as soon as you enter. Another cash only spot which at this point in 2019 is primitive. There is an ATM inside in the back, so the staff held on to our IDs while we used it. The main room is spacious with seating around the entire edge. There is security inside. The a/c was on so we were not too hot, but the floor was a little too slippery with the shoes I was wearing. This venue has a bar with all female bartenders. The drinks were alright but most people pay $12 for a pitcher. There is also a kitchen. The wings here were trash even while I was drunk. In the back there are different rooms. In one of the rooms was a pole with a stripper performing. Two of the rooms were restrooms with little to no privacy. The other rooms I didn’t bother to look in. This place is a nice opportunity to people watch. It was so much going on with dance battles, lituations, and drama. For the most part I was the “cute out of town guy dancing”. I went here on Friday and had a great time. I also came in Saturday but did not go inside as I wasn’t feeling well. The line was extremely packed in Saturday’s and my friends said it was much better than Friday (though Friday was still a good time). Overall I would end the night here. A nice place to continue the turn up and get some food all in one. Be warned it is ratchet though. But the good kind of ratchet. Keeping the energy of a hot boy/hot girl summer your favorite international club critic; Shamel Jones.

    The music was bumping last night. my coworker told me the owner was his cousin. My coworker Pope told me about this place and my other coworker birdette. I liked it but last night at the bar I had the worse experience ever . I tried to tell the lady at the bar what I would like and she walked away from me and shook her head idk what's wrong with the red hair bartender but good customer service isn't denying my money . If you not feeling your job please tell your manager . Sad thing is I'm from another city . 😪

    Wings was really good, the owner was very present and polite, drinks nice and strong… I think my family I was with really enjoyed the show. The music was top notch you want good music and have fun go there it is a gay spot so don’t go looking for straight men. It has different rooms within the facility which I find super cool. Bouncer was the worst attitude nasty out this world and I understand because it’s in an urban area but blatantly nasty like that yeah not cool..

    I visited ATL for the first time and was recommended this spot as a late night party option. This spot is rachet and the bouncers are unprofessional. After dealing with the rude bouncers, I did not feel comfortable enough to stay longer than about 45 minutes to an hour. I will never be back nor would I recommend it.

    Call up to the club and make sure JOHN is having a good night before you come out and spend your money. Please don’t do or say anything he doesn’t like cause he has the final say so about what does and doesn’t happen at this club.

    There’s one security guard that favors the trans in the club I presume. Waste of money for a hole in the wall club and a bad attitudinal childish security team! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND if looking for a good time.

    If you looking for an after hours spot once the regular clubs shutdown this is the spot. Now if you not lgbt friendly don't waste your time. However, if you are and don't mind a little ratcheness for pure entertainment, come on down. :-)

    I’m giving this place 5 stars only because it’s Shamar’s (The Queen Of Atlanta) favorite heaux spot! They treat him like the Queen he is! If you want to meet real celebrities like Shamar, then the Marquette is the place for you! Shamar runs the Marquette! The after party is always at FlexATL so wear your Sunday best and be ready to dance your cares away with Shamar! The Marquette needs to pay him an appearance fee every time he sets foot in there! I call this place the Shamarquette 🤩

  • 1/5 Felicity C. 5 years ago on Google
    I would like to give zero stars because of the disrespectful patrons. The music coming from the building is muted, that doesn't bother the people in the apartment building directly behind the club. It's the cars blaring their music so loud it rattles our windows. This area is rapidly becoming residential.

    The night of 4-1-2022 I came to this club expecting it to be fun. This was the worst unprofessional club experience in my life no cap. The bouncers outside tried to fight me and jump me, while I was just standing outside waiting for my friend to come out. I wasn’t taking any disrespect from them, so I verbally used my words and one of the bouncers pointed a gun at me and said he will then shoot me. It was uncalled for and it was ghetto. For your safety I do not recommend this club and you can tell by the reviews that it’s a similar situation with everyone. I hope it gets shut down because it doesn’t deserve to be open when you spend your money on a bad experience.

    Visited very recently. I decided to go out because I received a text stating they were back open after all the Corona business. I waited in the "regular" line there was also a VIP. There were two bouncers at the door but they were only letting the VIP in and not the "regulars". I asked one of the bouncers why they weren't letting our line through he stated the VIP was paying more so they were letting them in first. I was very offended and disgusted so I decided to leave! I called to speak with management about my experience but he was defensive and argumentive! I've only visited this place a handful of times but NEVER EVER AGAIN!!

    Very Disappointed in the Experience I had family in town, in they wanted to experience a night out with me. So we decided to go to this establishment. At the door they sated $10.00 per person, I said "ok can I use the ATM" so I then walk up to the ATM to have my card stolen by the machine. I then advised the front door in they were careless and downright rude frankly giving the black-owned business a bad NAME. I understood the ATM, not being owned by the club. However, you have this "ATM" in your establishment, so there should be a point of contact. At this point I'm livid. But still keeping my cool until I spoke to this rude gentlemen by the name "John" the promoter and he was a jerk to the 10th power as if it was my fault that the establishment "Failed to place an "Out of Order" sign on the device. The entire issue could have been handled with proper professionalism; the experience is something I would have never encountered at "Blake's" the white-owned bar. With the exception for the bartenders, they at least made an effort to rectify the matter. Being a black entrepreneur, I say do better after all your only open because we come in to spend money at your establishment. Owner Johnny M, I hope this is not an indicator of how you run your pizza business as well because you need to check your promoter before he causes a conflict that's not required. Johnny M, your promoter and his communication will cause escalation with patrons. Poor, poor experience.

    If you say something that the man outside in the RED TRUCK doesn’t like he will have you kicked out. He loves to show his dominance and try to embarrass people ….definitely makes the club lose out on money with his personal agenda!
