    I was walking back to car after getting something to eat and saw this place Ten ATL on my walk back. The exterior of this joint drew me in. I only had one drink and didn't stay long but I'm so glad I stopped by.

    Great spot for hookah, drinks and standup comedy! I love the outside patio and the comfortable reserved seating inside. The bartenders are generous. This venue is located in the heart of East Atlanta Village.

    I enjoyed the atmosphere of this in the cut spot. They don't haves kitchen but they do have a stage for local artists to perform on their way to stardom. Not stuffy atmosphere friendly staff. I'm not a hookah person but they certainly have this for you, if that is your thang

    Great vibe AMAZING music n musicians on Jazz Mondays. Smoke was a bit much with the cigars and hookah for a non smoker. But for the love of Jazz I'll be back with friends!

    This place is people friendly and the staff greets every single person as if they are family. It was awesome to see a homeless person ask the owner or a staff member for something to drink and without hesitation it was given to them and they got them some food from a food truck. Please visit and support them because they are Good Folks

    Space too tight to really enjoy. The jam session was great but completely overshadowed and tainted by the charge for "neat" and "rocks" drinks. Response was given that it was for extra liquor given but I kno a 2oz pour and there was nothing special about the ice. Little sad and not good business imo.

    Visited this wonderful place on 8/20/2022 and it was an amazing experience. The staff was very welcoming, the crowd was laid back yet lit, DJ Majestik gave everything you could ask for, and the drinks was bussin bussin 🤭 I even tried Hookah for the first time Blueberry Mint and it was very refreshing! The grown and sexy environment was exactly what me and my date were looking for and we really really enjoyed ourselves! I will be back next time I'm in the A! And should out to the Bride and her crew that was there that night, they made our night even better! 😊

    My 1st time at this business. Nice atmosphere with people gathering for talks, drinks, and/or smokes such as cigars or hookah.

    TEN ATL gave me life. Phillippe and the band were excellent. They did birthday shout outs and the atmosphere was amazing. My husband and I don't smoke but there were plenty of beverage options. Bourbon & Blues Wednesday was everything I needed! I reserved the sofa for 2. Seating was easy and quick. If there is one improvement it would be the women's bathroom. The toilet wouldn't flush... Otherwise this was a great experience. PLEASE SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BUSINESS.

    Had a really good time! It’s a great Place for new comedians to try there work out. No food at this spot but several places near it with food and they let you bring your food in . Will come back perfect for a date

    I went last night and was really impressed. The owner invited me to come check out Blues night. The band that was there was some amazing local talent. I wasn't able to stay as long as I would have liked to but I will definitely be back. Thanks for the experience!

    First time coming here and I'm glad I did. I love their happy hour. They have drinks and hookah for a discounted price everyday I believe from 6-8. I got there around 7 and paid no cover. They dont serve food but there is a really good chicken spot across the street that you can order from and bring the food inside. The establishment has a great vibe as well. I'd definitely recommend this place for a solo move, date night, or even a place to meet up with friends

    Great place for comedians to workout new material and get quality feedback. The host is always doing her best to make sure as many comics go up as possible. Legendary comedy room in the making.

  • 5/5 Nathaniel Z. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the most frequented places to do comedy on a Thursday night in and around Atlanta! The host is absolutely amazing, kind, and professional especially considering she has to manage 15+ comics every show as well as the 10+ that pop up at all times during the evening and attempt to get on. There are some times where comics will run over their given time and it takes away from the rest of the performers, and others when some local and international comics pop by and accommodations are made for them to go up, but that is just apart of the game when you run a successful comedy room. The host is always attentive enough to help any newer comic with some tips or tags for their jokes after a set and I’ve even seen her step in and save a comic if they are bombing a minute into their time. All in all 10/10 place to do comedy and have a great time as a comedian and patron 👏🏽👏🏽

    There was a DJ, and the music was very lively, which made it difficult to have a conversation. The selection of music was great for a diverse age group. The cocktails were excellent.

    Celebrated my birthday at this amazing establishment. TEN ATL is a jewel for lovers of live instruments, vocalist, and art. It is a vibe! The owners and operators cater to their audience. It's the best of the Black and African culture. COVID SAFE and social distance practiced.

    Fun fun fun...go go go! I had an amazing experience! The live open jazz on Monday was incredible. Great staff and atmosphere. I felt those who weren’t there were being cheated.

    Went last night for the first time, it was great! Staff all had mask on and followed Covid rules closely, felt very clean. The music was wonderful, and the atmosphere was perfect. Love that we could bring in outside food. Glad to see live music back and on a Monday at that!

    Nice atmosphere and sophisticated crowd. The drinks and hookah were also great. There are some old hardwood benches along the wall that are really hard and uncomfortable to watch a long show that should definitely be upgraded but other than that it was great. I would definitely come back.

  • 4/5 Resourceful R. 3 months ago on Google • 107 reviews New
    It's all about the mood you're in and the vibe you're craving. TEN ATL delivers that NPR feel with an Adulting finish. Monday night jam sessions kick off shortly after 10pm. Limited but comfy seating. Cozy and chill with a hint of stogie smoke to enhance the imminent "grown- folks only" essence. Purchasing tickets via Event Bright for the live entertainment is a must, however, unless you prefer sitting at the very front, the general admission standing room is sufficient. Wear comfy shoes, the set is about 2.5+ hrs. I purchased the 2-select seating for $64, which consisted of nice comfy wide leather seats and large coffee tables plus an option to sit on a long couch alongside the wall. Come early to secure nearby parking. I was able to park directly in front of the establishment. Great for a couple hours escape to listen to some good music and enjoy a cocktail or even a glass of wine. You can order from local eateries or BYO... Which is a nice touch as a person who is exhausted with eating out. The Host, Bartender and the gentleman I presume to be the owner/manager were all extremely hospitable. I will return.

    Great chill vibe, good seating options. Better than the other hookah bars in the area. But unfortunately we arrived right before they were about to show a boxing match and they had us move outside or else pay $30 each to watch the match. That was disappointing. Also it’s not cheap. Two drinks and a hookah came out to over $70.

    Great atmosphere and ambiance! And the prices were amazing too ☺️🥂 try the lamb egg rolls!

  • 5/5 Gwen R. 6 months ago on Google
    Get place for a Monday night jam session. The greatest musicians play at this establishment..

  • 5/5 Taylor C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very chill place with music and good drinks. We sat outside and people watched with peach hookah. I ordered Moscato and my friend got margaritas and some tequila shots. The server was amazing and super cool and I'm definitely coming back.

  • 5/5 louis D. 2 years ago on Google
    Beyond my expectations being my first time. I didn't know what to expect but I love jazz. I have never experienced anything like this before. One thing on Mondays reserve a table or buy a ticket in advance. If you come late you are not getting in due to limited space.

  • 5/5 Chan's Tunes J. 2 years ago on Google
    East Atlanta's well kept secret. Music & drinks are exceptional any night. Karaoke on Thursdays. Live bands. And... you can bring your own food! They do not have food service. Sit back & relax with a nice cigar & let the ambience take you away! By far my favorite place in Atlanta.

  • 1/5 Osvaldo V. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to do stand up here at ten atl but the host cut my time on the stage short. I was up there for less than a minute. This sort of thing happened to someone else and I wouldn't have written a review if I hadn't heard the same story from someone else. She also did something of a punch on my shoulder. Not cool when you do it to a stranger.

  • 1/5 Colette J. 2 years ago on Google
    just got turned away at the door from entering, they could have given the option (which we asked for) to pay general admission to sit at the bar but they told us we couldn’t come in unless we were willing to pay $200 to sit on a sofa shared with other customers? i just can’t believe this i’ve never experienced this sort of thing it was very off-putting I was really hoping to see live music tonight, even wrote the instagram page, no response. i’ve went to this place twice before and loved the vibe but what ever they have going on now is so unwelcoming. I can’t support this behavior in the heart of atlanta.

  • 5/5 Bee B. 3 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    I LOVE this spot! Thé drinks are cold and competitively priced and I typically enjoy a hookah. My favorite is the Wednesday night karaoke!! It’s a blast!

  • 2/5 Marquetta B. 6 months ago on Google
    THEY DO NOT SERVE FOOD! Great vibe buuutt drinks and hookah with NO FOOD makes it just blah

  • 1/5 Kalen H. 1 year ago on Google
    Giving a 1/5 I’ve been here only four times, my first two experiences were actually very nice. The bartender was great! However, the last two experiences I can not say the same. One Sunday evening I went and the owner stated they were not ready to open just yet, and proceeded to ask that I wait outside. I was okay with that. Once he was finished preparing on the inside he did not have any decency to welcome me back into the bar. This last experience (last night) makes me not want to return. Our bartender (female) was very kind and helpful. On the other hand, there was a light skinned male bartender who was rude and just had a very nasty attitude all together. He never took our food order once we asked to close the tab he proceeded to rudely ask who was paying for one drink that hadn’t been added to the tab. While using his fingers to talk at me. There was no problem whatsoever to pay our tab … me personally, I think he could have asked about it in a more polite manner. I truly dislike places that have automatic gratuity with horrible and unmannered customer service. Outside of that, the setting itself is a vibe and the Dj did his thing.

    Ten is a cool kick back spot. Great music, good hookah, and nice drinks. If you want a late night to vibe out spot. This is the place to go.

  • 1/5 i.f. P. 1 year ago on Google
    Comedy audience is atrocious. Crowd stunk, seemed like there was a sense of nepotism or gatekeeping in the air. Prob a good place if you're looking for someone to crack a bottle cape

  • 5/5 BJ M. 9 months ago on Google
    My most favorite spot in Atlanta period. Shout out to big Joe and Ms. Cynthia I love y'all

  • 5/5 tarez s. 1 year ago on Google
    Great evening spot for hookah and drinks. You can also bring outside food in from the local eateries to enjoy as well as cigars, they have those too if you need to purchase them. I love the grown vibe. I will definitely be returning.

  • 5/5 Danielle T. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a ball! My husband and I went out for our 17th anniversary and ended our night at this lounge and I'm glad we did. The DJ played grown and sexy music which was right up my alley! We will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Helen M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is magical to say the least. Monday Jazz is amazing! When I first arrived I was like hmmmm I not sure about this. Then I realized how inclusive this place is. When I say it brings community, and ppl of all cultures together 🧡💛 I found. Peace, non-judgmental and freedom in the performance and audience. I will definitely make this place my regular spot for Monday night pick my spirits up mood. If your considering it, go for it! Whatever age or ethnic!!ity "you belong"

  • 5/5 Verniqua G. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a good time, great vibe; and a dope atmosphere; especially for those who enjoy a great drink; a nice vibe and a good a** hookah! It has easily become my home away from home. I'd highly recommend any and everyone to check it out!!!

  • 5/5 Kiara 1 year ago on Google
    This spot has a nice atmosphere. I went here on a Thursday night when they was doing their R&B night and the DJ was playing some good feel good classic R&B that I definitely vibes to. The bar tender/server was attentive. I had a good time. I look forward to coming back🥰

  • 5/5 cedric h. 3 years ago on Google
    THE best date night my wife and I have ever had, the Jazz was INCREDIBLE, the drinks were good and strong and the crowd was awesome, just good grown folks enjoying themselves. We met the Owner also who was also great. Our new favorite date night spot without question. The energy I can’t explain it, it was damn near like magic in their.

  • 5/5 Walter C. 3 years ago on Google
    Its TEN what else can I say why were you not there lol

  • 4/5 Candice H. 3 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere was so good. Nice place to just chill, have a drink, and listen to good music. Before the dj came they played the best R & B mix, then the dj slowed down the vibe and we didn't stay to long after he started. I would definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Latoya W. 3 years ago on Google
    The service was very welcoming and observant. It has a good interior. Similar to a place in Denver I loved.

  • 5/5 Dashill S. 3 years ago on Google

    All I want to say is thank you, thank you, thank you Ten ATL for such an amazing night. I was in town visiting Atlanta and was wanting to go to a nice lounge with great jazz music. The positive reviews on here surely were not lying. I came here for the Monday Night Jazz Jam and had the best time ever! When I tell you, the vibe and great music was just what my soul needed. Thank you to all of the musicians who came out. You all are extremely talented. I also appreciate the great customer service from the friendly manager to the waiter/waitress. It is a small venue but that makes for such an intimate experience. The night was filled with smiles, laughter, and positive energy. The music moved me and made me want to get up and dance so bad. The seats provided were very comfortable. There were people smoking cigars, and I am usually sensitive to smoke, but it was not overpowering and there were fans going, so I did not leave with a headache. If you truly are a lover of jazz, and great entertainment for a great price, check this place out. I hope to be back whenever I am back in town. Thank you again. :)

    Pretty cool here. Didn't sit inside they were standing room only. Get there early to get an inside table. It was cool sitting outside though. They will bring you chairs and a table. You can still enjoy the entertainment from outside. They waitresses were nice too. Prices reasonable.
