4 Stars: Bar Staff was Amazing!!! (by Mandy G.)

Mandy G. — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 14:26:00 GMT

I was just recently having a awesome night at Sutra and it was all cause of the bar staff. They were just on point. Between being aware of customers and taking the time to deal each so you didn't feel like you just picked a number and it was your turn. The stay also made wonderful suggestions on drinks. My favorite was Patron and Ty Ku. It was bomb. Never heard of Ty Ku, but I will be talking about it. Thanks again.

4 Stars: Where did Ty Ku come from? (by Katrina1982)

Katrina1982 — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

All I have to say is thank you to the bartender that turned me on to Ty Ku. It first caught my eye cause the bottle glowing green and when I asked the bartender was nice enough to take the time to show it to me and explain what it was. Following that, he made various drinks using Ty Ku. I was about five deep before my limit was reached, but I will be back for more. Thank you bartender who's name I forget... guess he did his job.

3 Stars: Cool Midtown Spot (by ssilvera)

ssilvera — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Sutra is a cool midtown spot...it can be a little hitt or miss sometimes depending upon the DJ spinning. The crowd can also be hitt or miss...sometimes sexxy, sometimes a little rough. I'd usually pop in and if the music is right, will have a couple of cocktails and dance for a while. For the most part the clientele has been mature, diverse and there to party each time I've been which is why I'd continue to check in with Sutra when in Midtown. They have good security and I never feel like things will get out of control while there. Usually no cover for the ladies.!

4 Stars: nice hangout spot... (by Toni F.)

Toni F. — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:47:00 GMT

This spot is pretty cool to hang out with a few friends. I had the opportunity to join my brother at one of his promotions there and had the best time ever. They are really good for playinf great music of all genres!

1 Stars: Racism... do not support this club !! (by bob j.)

bob j. — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 01:33:00 GMT

Went to this club and was told to wait in line for 45 mins because I was a single man, after 45 mins, still was denied, mean while 6 single white men walked in..

4 Stars: Very Chill (by xochittll@yahoo.com m.)

xochittll@yahoo.com m. — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 23:15:00 GMT

I enjoyed myself at this lounge. Nice place to relax and be seen. You need to dress to impress if you go. The drinks are good and the music is great. The design is cool and the lights are just right. This is a great spot to chill with your friends.

4 Stars: Enjoyed it! (by MsJBoogie)

MsJBoogie — Mon, 26 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

This is a fun place. I went for my 25th birthday. I was a little diappointed at first because it takes forever for people to start dancing. My friends and are were on the floor. About midnight, the DJ started playing songs we really enjoyed and about that time it really got live! It had a slow pickup but eventually got there. the service was good and so were the drinks. i would recommend it for a group night out.

5 Stars: response to worst service review (by bex21)

bex21 — Sat, 24 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

This is in response to the young lady who wrote the review about the poor customer service she received at Sutra Lounge. As a regular patron of this club for the past two years I have never received anything but the best customer service. I happened to be at the club that night when this incident occurred and this young lady has neglected to mention that her and her drunk boyfriend argued with multiple bartenders that they were not going to pay there tab because they had not ordered all of the drinks on it. Both bartenders seemed to handle the situation rather well and instead of arguing what was probably a losing battle they got a manager to deal with it. The couple refused to pay and I believe were escorted out. Here's a hint to the young lady that wrote the review, next time don't assume that no one else was paying attention to what was going because you now look like a fool. The bartenders and managers of nightclubs and there entire staff put up with alot of bs from all you dumb drunks that don't know how to handle there liqour. Next time think before you speak and maybe lay off the shots so that you don't embarass yourself by telling half-truths.

1 Stars: Horrible customer service (by LindsayBrennan)

LindsayBrennan — Sat, 17 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I was just at Sutra Lounge last night for a friends birthday. We were all drinking just having a good time...I had an open tab..To make a long story short, I went to go pay my bill and they said I was too drunk to sign for my bill, so my boyfriend was going to do it fome..well they would not let him. So they still had my card and then asked for my Lisence and I gave it to them...then they kicked me out b/c I was "too drunk" So we go outside and plead with the security to let us in to get my card and they refused...we also called the cops but they did not care! So we just left..I couldn't drive or do anything today b/c I had no lisence or debit card! We had to drive back there again from Duluth to get my cards..at $4.00 a gallon. You would think after dropping over a $100 they would cater to me. This place has AWFUL customer service and all they care about is money and not the saftey or care of their patrons...and the GM is a complete arrogant you know what! I will never go here again and I suggest that all of you who want to go out and party with friends DO NOT GO TO SUTRA!

1 Stars: not the place to go (by ggoss)

ggoss — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

me and my friend decided to go to sutra lounge last night and that was the reason the night was ruined. While standing in line we heard the doorman tell a couple of people that if they didnt have girls with them they would have to wait an hour, i thought that was the reason dudes went to the club was to socialize with women, but on top of that it seems like they were disrespectful to people of color, as they let caucasian and asian patrons in over african american americans, we felt really disrespected and left. Take my advice never ever go to sutra

5 Stars: My 1st Time There (by LilMama1003)

LilMama1003 — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

OMG! I had never been to a club before and my sister said lets go. So we get there and it was already a great vibe soon as you get there. I loved that there isn't a dress code. Although I dressed to the 9 last night. We ordered a drink and we started watching everyone dance. After I 2nd drink, we were rocking on the dance floor. It's such a friendly place and I really felt comfortable there. The drinks were awesome, the staff was very nice & the customers rocked!

Thanx for my first great experience with a club!!!

3 Stars: Good Times (by lilshortyz53)

lilshortyz53 — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

This was a pretty fun place. Me and my guy friends went on a friday night. Had guestlist so we didnt have to pay to get in. Its underground and kind of has the look of a brick loft. Drinks are kinda pricey but if you're a lady then that usually is not an issue. The music was pretty fun like a mix on an ipod...but i mean it in a good way. I met a couple people there that are good friends now so yes it is a good place to meet and mingle. Ummm...the vip room was pretty neat. Kinda like a "be seen" area. It was enclosed in a clear glass area so it was like being in a fishbowl. Pretty neat. All in all it was a pretty cool place and I would go there again. So if you're sitting at home with a couple friends and have a hankering to go out then check this place out.

4 Stars: I nice way to mingle (by Troman34)

Troman34 — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I thought the music and atmosphere were pretty good. Loud at some moments but to be expected when you're in a crowded club. I also thought the dance selection was great and catered to a lot of different variety's. I certainly recommend and it's a great way to spend a Saturday evening!

1 Stars: No go.... (by ListNme)

ListNme — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

One star only because I went to meet up with friends I haven't seen since college. The "atmosphere" is nothing more than more than a hardwood basement. The two-finger drinks are way above "it's Atlanta prices." The DJ is nothing more than a two-starred play list on any ipod. However, we did have a blast tonight observing the people that actually frequent this place.

1 Stars: Underground (by Vanessa C.)

Vanessa C. — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 09:17:00 GMT

I went here for halloween with some friends. We ended up here because it had the shortest line. We waited in line for a good hour and they charged 10 to get in. When we got in we were very disappointed. Very young crowd. It was underground so it was very hot and clamy. It is very small and only 1 bar and a tiny dance floor. Personally we will never go there again.

3 Stars: The best party spot in Atlanta (by jamieh7908)

jamieh7908 — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Sutra lounge is trendy, relaxed and uber cool. I bring all my out of town friends to Sutra Lounge and I frequent there myself almost every weekend! If you want great drinks, beautiful atmosphere, slammin beats and great bartenders. Sutra lounge is the spot in the "A".

5 Stars: Very cool lounge with very cool music! (by georgiapro)

georgiapro — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

This place is really neat! I have always been more of a pub guy than club guy...but the ambience was terrific, the music was awesome, and I was very happy with the overall experience! The drinks are priced fairly and the service by the bartenders and servers was exceptional. I liked the way the people up front at the entrance are dressed very "smart:" you know you're not getting ready to go into some cheesy place. I have been several times now and the dj's they have had there have been top-shelf. I am from Miami and have been fortunate to travel a lot -- and this lounge is one of those that you go into and you say to yourself, "This doesn't feel like we're in Atlanta." It definitely has a very metropolitan feel about it - more akin to Miami, NYC, Chicago...you get the drift.

5 Stars: Great excursion from long-lines, stuffy, rude security, and cultureless patrons... (by charliefoxx)

charliefoxx — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

My wife and I use to frequent Club Visions, and 112. But we never liked the "too young" crowd and the whole , entire "I just gotta get in this club" vibe that goes on at the door and with alot of the patrons. So my wife ( who's a Hennessey and navan promoter) worked at The Sutra Lounge one Thursday night, she was enthralled. We went there the following Saturday night and it's been our little secret ever since. The club has a cosmopolitan feel with a mixed crowd and different cultures. The Dj spins evrything from T.I. to Michael Jackson. The drinks are not watered down or over priced. And there are alot of beautiful people---men and women----to keep the eyecandy quota sufficiently satisfied.The security treated me with respect. The young lady at the register always compliment my attire. And they even have a grille going on the patio area.
I'd recomend Sutra to anyone. But then it would'nt be me and my wife's own little secret any more.

5 Stars: This is a nice chill spot (by peacefulmind01 )

peacefulmind01 — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I have been to this club twice and was treated like royalty. Being a woman of color I was impressed by the hospitality and the drinks were "fixed to perfection"! I was invited to join the people in VIP and there was much love in there!!!!! VIP included: drinks, plush leather seats, ceiling fans and rotating fans. What more could a girl ask for?????????????????????? Don't sleep on this club! Check it out!

2 Stars: Not that great compared to others (by Vijal P.)

Vijal P. — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 08:21:00 GMT

Sutra Lounge on a Friday/Saturday night is not that good in my humble opinion. It's a different environment compared to other clubs (this one is a "lounge" by name) however it's just as crowded. The music is supposed to be better, and the music selection actually was. They did not play the popular (overplayed) songs heard on the radio all the time like many other clubs do. The downside was that the DJs were really REALLY bad! They would cut songs about 1 min (if that) into the songs and while the crowd was definitely still into the song. They just wouldn't give the songs the playtime they deserved. Then other times, they would just keep scratching and talking, while the crowd was definitely not interested in that. Drink prices are average ($5-7 for beer bottles, mixed drinks starting around $7).

Save your time and go somewhere else. Vision, Tongue and Groove, etc.

PROS: Good music selection
CONS: Bad DJs who ruin the good music, not very lounge environment as the name sa

5 Stars: What a night!!! (by Adelphichic)

Adelphichic — Sat, 29 Apr 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Pretty empty before midnight, but after that, the place was packed. Decent service at the bar-- although they don't know how to make a few drinks, the ones they make are packed with a punch! Nice patio, room to sit even when it was packed, and perhaps the best...NO LINE FOR THE BATHROOM! Awesome place, cannot wait to go back!

3 Stars: not too hot (by caribbean711)

caribbean711 — Sat, 01 Apr 2006 01:00:00 GMT

very nice accomodating staff. the scene wasn't that great and the outside patio was ridiculously dirty. who wants to hang out in a stinky patio? the inside could be hot...not sure where they're going w/ the music....gotta decide on something and stick with it...

5 Stars: No cover, great AC, and a slamming DJ (by atlqd)

atlqd — Tue, 23 Aug 2005 02:00:00 GMT

Sutra is a great place to escape the mega clubs, for a smaller vibe that's no less a party. The air conditioning was great, which keep me dancing all night long. The DJ on Saturday night played great music(Hip-Hop & Pop). The bar staff was fairly efficient
(except for the fact they lost my credit card). It was a mixed/diverse crowd
on Saturday night, including bachorette parties, convention goers, and regulars. To get in free, just bring a pass or e-mail pass from ANY other club and there's no cover!

1 Stars: Mature-Sexy Crowd. This Place Rocks (by niteowl22)

niteowl22 — Tue, 26 Jul 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I ended up visiting Sutra a couple of Saturday's ago when I decided to leave the opening night of a night club in the area. My experience was fantastic starting with the Promotion girl to Security at the door and all the way to the back VIP Bar. Great, friendly bartenders and DJ Ted Rocked The House. Sutra may not be the biggest or most advertised but it would get my vote any day! Needless to say I'm impressed enough to join this site to voice my opinion.

5 Stars: THE GREATEST CLUB IN ALL OF ATLANTA!!! (by dogfan)

dogfan — Wed, 13 Apr 2005 02:00:00 GMT

The owners are HOT! The music gets your ass movin'! Can be very romantic. Great place for bachelorette parties. Guys can get an eye full there behind the bar! Get there early b/c the line is long.

5 Stars: Sleek & Sophisicated (by remy04)

remy04 — Tue, 22 Mar 2005 01:00:00 GMT

This place is awesome! Very sexy atmosphere - a bit understated but elegant.

5 Stars: FINALLY, I found it. (by macky404)

macky404 — Wed, 12 Jan 2005 01:00:00 GMT

Now this is the kind of place my friends and I have been looking for, great looking crowd, and atmosphere. VIP areas are in the middle of it all but you get the royal treatment and privacy. I've been last two Saturday's and the DJ Rocks, whoever you are stay put!
