    My husband and sister surprised me with a birthday celebration there last Saturday, 11/4/23. I enjoyed myself so much. Drinks were great, and the band and chef/ singer was excellent. I'll be back for sure. We did not eat bc we had dinner elsewhere.

    Excellent! Live music on Saturday nights. Vallet parking $10 and cover $13 or so. It is well worth the money. Limited drinks selection but the drinks are very affordable. Older folks but they are a trip to be around. Lovely lovely lovely!

    Excellent Friday nightt spot. It looks small because of the way the venue was designed. I was there for karaoke and boy was it a lot of fun. Food, service and pricing were reasonable priced, quick and tasty.

    The drinks and food were good but the wrap was pretty tiny. I also got the Caesar salad pizza. They put Caesar salad on top and I was not expecting the pizza to be so literal, lol. I went for the 830pm comedy show but it didn't start until 9pm. The comics were decent.

    Great atmosphere! Fun, talented singers and musicians. I love how it feels like a family everytime I go. I would bring at least $30 just in case you want to eat or get a drink. There's free street parking as well as valet. I'm usually there on open mic nights on Thursdays, but I've been to at least 1 concert. It's really cool and I definitely recommend it to anyone that likes good music, good people, and a laid back, fun atmosphere :)

    I don't know where to start first you have to pay $13 to enter the building next the bathroom was disgusting not only that there was no AC in the building and the building was packed with people. I was there for a birthday party they did not have our tables ready so we had to sit on the side for 45 minutes to get a table like we did not put a reservation in or something but we did, 3 months in advance.My first cocktail when it was finally ordered it was good the second cocktail they tried to be slick but did not put any alcohol in it. I told the waitress there's no alcohol in the beverage she smiled and said I will give you a shot and pour it in there for you so you guys be careful.. I could go on but I'm just going to stop right here you check it out for yourself and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. This was my first and my last time coming to this location.

    My wife and I decided to enjoy an evening of music at Kat's Cafe. It was great! We hadn't been there in a few years. However, our experience was wonderful. The food was great, the music was great, people were beautiful. The only thing missing was my Old Fashion drink. They didn't have it. Anyhow, I enjoyed Kat's Cafe.

    Very enjoyable place! Nice and cozy!! Outstanding performances with great singers and musicians. It’s more for entertaining than dining, but the food is a good filler. Beverages were very good!!!

    A friend took me here. I love that I didn't have to pay for parking. Otherwise I would not have wanted to come. That's the main reason why I hate going downtown. The show was great. I went Tuesday or Wednesday night when Rodney perry was there. I don't know the comedian name who spoke on his gf with the small hand but was the funniest to me. I didn't like that we got there early but didn't get the good seats, however we were waiting on other guess to arrive which is why they gave us the seats by the cold door so... our guess where late and ended up not sitting with us anyway. Always good to arrive all together early to get a good seat, right? The waitress was attentive and sweet. I had a good time.

    We visited this place for the first time and it has a nice vibe. Great place for couples who want to get a quick bite to eat and listen to some great music. It is small and they serve mostly pizza and small bites, but definitely worth a visit. We will be back.

    Go for the music not for the food. The pizza was 0/5. Drinks 0/5. Music 5/5. Vibe 5/5.

    This place is very enjoyable! The live music was enjoyable and entertaining. It's very cozy but very small. Arrive early for better seating. The food and drinks are good and tasty. Be prepared to receive appetizer portions on the food. The staff is pleasant. Valet was only $5.

    It was Karaoke Friday amazing turnout as well as great entertainment. Sorry I'm a huge pizza fan but sorry upgrade that sauce it's not my best taste. The drinks are excellent. I'm amazed how pack it was but the vibe warrants many visits to come.

    Came through here because it was on the halloween bar crawl map. I want disappointed and it was pretty jazzy with the live bad and voices. Cozy small lounge. Drink was pretty good that's all I had. I'll be back with my mom to try food and enjoy the atmosphere. I'll update my review then.

    Tiny hole in the wall. Watered down drinks. Waiter came around every hour. Gratuity is added to EVERY ticket even though the menu says only if it’s $100 or more or 8+ people. Food is like cafeteria food (grade school). I thought highly of this place before coming. Unfortunately, I will NOT be returning to this establishment.

    Eva kennedy was performing and always gives a great show. The crowd was small, a first. The smaller crowd gave a different vibe, but i was not disappointed. The drinks were perfect as well.

    Thursday, karaoke live music is amazingly fun. The pizza and wraps are delicious, and the drinks are strong!!! Valet parking is only $5 and there is no cover. Get their early if you want a seat but you can also reserve a table. #GOODFUN

    It was my birthday, have been here several times before always have a good time, but this time was amazing BK Jackson was outstanding if you have not had the pleasure of hearing this brother, I would suggest you go on Instagram and follow him. Thanks Kats Cafe for brining talented artist to the stage that you may have not heard of and thank you for making this Birthday a memorable one.

  • 4/5 spencer l. 6 months ago on Google
    Small and intimate scene, live music was amazing, didn’t try the food, but the drinks were good. also be aware they have $5 valet parking and $15 cover charge per person.

  • 4/5 Alice J. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Brook W. 7 months ago on Google
    Tootsie was the best bartender ever!! Loved her and her positive spirit and attitude. Tell her keep up the great work :)

  • 5/5 Mz. J. 8 months ago on Google
    This has been my spot for many years. Love the vibe, and the owner is very nice. The live music, drinks, and food are on point as well. Valet parking for $5 is an added treat 👌

  • 4/5 lesley n. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a great time. Loved the music, drinks and pizza.... my salad was just ok! Great time overall

  • 4/5 J M. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there for their $5 show on Saturday. The meat lover pizza was horrible. The veggie pizza had tomatoes and lettuce and no other veggies. The tomato and basil pizza didn't have any fresh basil on it. Drinks are decent. Don't order a shot, they are tiny. The service was good, our waiter was good and was serving the whole restaurant and was polite and professional. I would go there again, and would recommend that everyone tries it out at least once.

  • 1/5 Caleb S. 9 months ago on Google
    Open mic on wednesdays... The "jazz" band will play for over 40 minutes The following artists get 4 MINUTES It you go over a HAIR they will KICK YOU OFF STAGE If you request to play solo... THEY WILL STILL PLAY WITH YOU. Literally the worst open mic I have ever been to. Don't waste your time.

  • 5/5 Franz W. B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice hangout spot, good atmosphere and the music on good. I would like to see more of a selection when it come to food items on the menu.

  • 5/5 Kendra H. 9 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Great food and drinks, friendly and very accommodating staff, excellent customer service, and overall just a fun atmosphere. I recently went to Kat's Cafe for the first time and really, really, REALLY enjoyed myself! Despite it being crowded, we received our food and drinks fairly quickly. The pepperoni pizza and chicken quesadilas were very tasty! Also, the menu included a wide variety of house specialty drinks to choose from. If you're ever in Atlanta, I highly recommend checking out Kat's. You won't be disappointed!

  • 2/5 Jesaira G. 2 years ago on Google
    Good vibe and great musicians but the facility is too small especially given we are still in a pandemic and it's a fire hazard. There should be a cutoff for people entering as it takes away incredibly from the whole experience.

  • 5/5 Bridgitte W. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband and I visited Kat's Cafe last night and had an amazing time like always! The service was impeccable, the owner was very sweet and personable, and the live entertainment was outstanding! If you are looking for a great entertainment and service you definitely need to check this place out !

  • 4/5 Sophie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great music and cozy venue. Yummy cocktails! Service and food are not bad but not the best. Good place for a fun night with friends or a date night.

  • 4/5 yeah i. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice atmosphere. Great music and live band but really small and crowded. Be sure to make reservations or you will not have a seat.

  • 5/5 Andre C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot with a fun and welcoming atmosphere. My wife and I went for the first time 8/2/2022 for open mic night and had a great time. The manager and staff were very accommodating, the comedians were outstanding and the food/drinks were great. We'll definitely make Kat's Cafe a regular date night spot. We live an hour away but it's worth the drive for us.

  • 5/5 Access Community R. 1 year ago on Google
    11 07 22 The waitresses could us more uniformity and training for excellence in Customer Service. Regular Customer The chicken wrap is excellent and fresh vegetables and lightly toasted bread. The dark skinned manager works hard to keep the place in standard functioning. The back curtains need to be changed to bring more class and expression. Thursdays are great live music and open mic!!!!!!!!!.
