We found a girl with her pants and underpants pulled down to her ankles in the bathroom. The bathroom door had a "out of order" sign on it, but we had to go bad so we went in anyways. The girl was non-responsive and passed out on the floor. It was in the upstairs bathroom next to the skybar. We quickly prompted the bouncer to take a look inside and we left soon after that.
Pros: convenient location
Cons: gross

went to primal for the first time for a body paint fashion show. there were beautufull girls and a lot of cool people. the dance floor was packed and the dj was killin it. The Go Go dancers and staff are by far the best in the ATL. Service with a smile and reasonably priced drinks make for and enjoyable party experience that anyone can enjoy. everyone can find their own place that suits their own preference. Sky bar is incredible with a breathtaking view of the atlanta skyline. the rock room is a great place to relax and enjoy a less crowded atmosphere. there are multiple Dj's which make it easy to find a place that plays the music you wanna hear. Great place to spend a Saturday night, and makes Opera look like a joke.
Pros: awesome girl/guy ratio, freindly staff. great atmosphere
Cons: none

Came out for the first time last Sat. and had a great time. The place is huge with many different music options. I will be back for sure!
Pros: crowd
Cons: N/A

This place has 2 amazing outside areas to hang out in. The first one took me no time to find, but the second one you have to know where it is. That made it real nice. I hope the weather is nice this weekend so i can go back to "my" patio!!
Posted 08/27/09
My friends and i went out last week to find somewhere to dance. We have found our new place for the weekends. The music is real good and there are a bunch of people there. We had a great time!
Posted 08/27/09
Love the outdoor area with tables & the upstairs rooftop deck. Very nice to hang out in the summer! Good looking people, great music, packed dance floor. Drinks are expensive - $9 for a screwdriver and $11 for a redbull & vodka, but what do you expect. Ladies print out something from the website for free entry before 11, it'll save you at least $10. You'll need it for drinks!
Pros: Great music & crowd
Cons: Expensive!
Posted 08/27/09
I've been to Primal 3 times and each time had a great time. The service was the best I've had at a mega club in a long time, the drinks were priced decently and made right for once!
Pros: Drink Prices, Atmosphere
Posted 08/21/09
I went to Primal Saturday night and had a blast. Music was bumpin' and there were loads of good lookin' people(GIRLS!). This is the club that Atlanta needs, always something going on... key word: DIVERSITY. Night clubs are rarely fun AND affordable, but hands down they served the most affordable drinks in the Atlanta club circuit.
Pros: great bars, hot girls
Cons: Looong line to get in
Posted 08/18/09
Definetley the new kid on the block. I don't believe it has been open a year yet. They definetley did it right with this place. Sound and lighting is awesome. Very sleek and elegant design. Great patio and balcony. Staff is always cool and crowd is hot. Well done Primal.
Posted 08/11/09
I've been in Atl for the past 10 years and Primal is by far the best club I've been to in ATL. The music is great, the Djs spin the hottest songs, the bartenders are hot and mix the perfect drinks. This is one club I definitely recommend to all my friends and out of town folks. A must see and experience for yourself.
Pros: Great vibe, pretty women, best djs
Cons: can get extremely packed
Posted 08/11/09
went to primal last friday and experienced one of the best hip hop nights in atlanta. the club is slamin. loads of hot girls and the music was banging. will most definetly go back.
Posted 08/11/09
i went to Primal on both Friday and Sat and I absolutely love this club. My friends and I had the best time. This club has 6 different rooms with 3 djs spinning the hottest mixes. i love the rooftop bar which overlooks the city. i definitely recommend stopping by Primal.
Pros: great space, best music, good drinks
Cons: none
Posted 08/11/09
If you like to dance than this is the one club you need to go to. 5 differnt rooms with differnt djs. Always a great diverse crowd having a great time. Drinks are resonable and the bartenders are great. I've been going there all year and have never had a bad experience. Check it out.
Posted 08/11/09
I really like this club. I'm usually not a big fan of so called super clubs. My friends dragged me out to Primal last weekend and surprsingly I had a great time. The club is sectioned off so you can be in a lounge setting, garden setting, on a balcony overlooking midtown or the huge dance floor area. The staff was friendly and not pretinous which was surprising. I am looking forward to my next expercience.
Posted 08/11/09
Primal is the hottest spot in Atlanta! Drinks are strong and at a great price. There are five different rooms and a huge outside patio with its own bar and dj. There is a rock and roll room if your into that kind of music and the main room has featured dj's and celebrities every weekend! There are many bars around the whole club so you won't have to wait in line to order your rounds. The roof top is a nice place to get a feel of a whole new environment and view the beautiful city while listening to another great dj. I recommend this place to go every weekend with all your friends and have a blast!
Pros: strong drinks, fun environment, busy, jammin music
Cons: none
Posted 08/11/09
I've been going to this club since it opened and have to say I am very impressed. The experience has never been disapointing. I've worked in the club business for most of my life and feel like Primal nails the super club concept that have been so successful in other citys like Miami and Las Vegas. I am a big fan. Check it out.
Posted 08/11/09
When I got to the club on Saturday night there was a line wrapped around the building. I was surprised how fast the line was moving though. My girl and I were shocked at how nice the door security was to us. When we got in, the music was jammin with popular and hot new tracks. The dance floor was rocking!! Hotties everywhere!!! There were so many different rooms in the club. We changed environments so many times we got dizzy (or maybe it was the killer drinks). We had a great night and say to anyone who wants an amazing club experince PRIMAL is the club to visit!
Pros: Beautiful people with hottest music in Atlanta
Cons: Too packed
Posted 08/11/09
I went to Primal and it happened to be the night a girl from the Pussie Cat Dolls came and performed. She was a lot of fun and interacted a lot with the crowd. The bartenders were friendly and I met some cool people. The place is really big, I actually got lost for a second. The patios are my favorite part, very "zen" and chill. I'll go back !
Pros: Special Guests, Music, Big Place
Cons: dance floor too crowded
Posted 08/11/09
myself and a group of friends went out last saturday night to primal and had a bitchin' time... the music was great, there were tons of people, wait a lot of good looking people!! the bars were great, i think there were like 5 or 6 so you didnt have to wait for a drink. that's rare for a club in atlanta... i will definitely be back!
Pros: great atmosphere, good staff, great crowd
Posted 08/10/09
I partied at Primal over the weekend and they have a really good looking crowd (and the staff is pretty hot too). Drinks were good and the music was hot....recommend!
Posted 08/10/09
My friends and I went to Primal and arranged for bottle service in the VIP area...I was a little skeptical how things would go b/c we called the day of, but when we got there, everything went off without a hitch. We were promptly seated and taken care of by a very cute and friendly bottle service girl. She made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this spot
Posted 08/10/09
Primal's awesome! Hot chicks, great music, cheap drinks...hands down, best spot in Atlanta
Posted 08/10/09
Lovedthe atmosphere
Pros: Fun Bartenders
Posted 08/10/09
Interesting comments so far. The promoters stand out! The real customers are correct. Let me know when the decline happens.
Posted 08/10/09
This place was unorganized. Paid for vip and gave list to bar manager that day. Got there, there was no list and tried to put us ina section I didn't pay for. My friends were stuck outside in line bouncers told them they were not letting anyone in vip AND THERE WAS NO LIST. Some friends had to pay again to get in (at vip price) after they had already paid me for the section. This place needs help
Posted 08/03/09
if you like mixing with undercover cops, watching dxxx deals go down in and outside the place and ducking gunfire, then this is the place. frankly i prefer someplace safer and quieter.
Pros: horrible, dangerous place
Cons: bulldogs is nearby

A group of friends and I went to Primal to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. We secured the VIP area which was located inside the club in a main room nearest to the dj booth. The VIP area was kind of a joke. Basically we were seated on two couches on top of what I would say was a stage against the far wall with two small end tables. Our party had arranged for two bottles of champagne and two bottles of grey goose and some oj and cranberry and we were given plastic cups. Once the waitress set out all of these items (didnt bother to pour or pass out drinks, tell us where the restrooms were, etc.) she skipped merrily on to the next group of VIPs. I maybe saw her again 2 times for the rest of the night till 3AM.
When it was time to go the waitress kept the birthday girl hostage until the VIP tab and her tip was handed over. The agreement was $1000 and in the end we paid $1250. and she still wanted a tip. She said she was due a tip. A tip is just that, a tip and it is not mandatory or in other words should not be expected. The service was not above and beyond, why would we want to tip her? For retrieving liquor that we didnt have access to? Or was it for the plastic cups she had to wash??? If she wanted a tip for what service she gave she should have been all over us all night. I would expect absolutely stellar service for $1250. VIP group.
I requested the dj play me a song which he didnt do, but that was fine. The music was good. At the end of the night the waitress pulled our birthday girl all around the club, then out to our limo by the wrist until someone gave her a tip. When the waitress realized no one was going to pay she brought my friend to the manager who promptly told my friend, the birthday girl, that spent $1250. on VIP that she was not welcome to come back, that she needed to get out, and that she should shut up and stop talking. That is what the manager said to my friend while she was trying to explain the situation and why the waitress was not going to receive a tip. Needless to say it was all down hill from there, my friend at this point crying and hysterical. If you want to have a happy birthday, spend a little extra and hang out at the VIP at Opera or anywhere else in town.
Big shout out to Jason who is a promoter at Primal who did a great job of setting us up for disappointment. He lied about the price and said just about anything and everything to get us to choose Primal over Opera. This club was just ok. I defiantly will not go back.
Pros: music was good.
Cons: Bad VIP service, management needs some help too.

i've been to a lot of clubs and primal matches up to everyone of them if not exceeds them. i have been going there the last couple of weekends and have had a blast every one of them. the bartenders are fun, energetic, and make strong drinks!!! we bought a table last week and were stoked with the service, it was more enjoyable and better priced than the place down the street. definitely check primal out, you'll probably see me there!
Pros: bartenders, atmosphere, bottle service
Posted 05/19/09
I don't understand charging 20 dollars for admission to this place. The people attending this placr resemble the 2nd tier crowd trying badly to look cool. Would never go again.
Posted 05/17/09
Great club. Tons of different rooms with different music. It has a great rooftop and great outdoors area. DJ's usually play some hot music and tons of great looking girls.
Posted 05/10/09
I have been lookin for a rockin spot to throw down at and I think I have found it! This club has awesome music. I am so tired of hearing the same thing over and over every weekend. It was so cool that I heard some Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and a bit of Kid Rock at a CLUB!! And if i didn't like the music in one room i could just go to another! Def. my new place to throw down at!
Pros: music and people
Posted 05/08/09
My girlfriends and i went out for girls night 2009 and had a blast! the layout of the club is real nice and has a bunch of different music and rooms. we really liked the outside with the waterfalls and fountains. i have never been to a club that i could sit by a fireplace and have drinks and actually be able to talk with my friends. I love this spot! wish i would have found it sooner.
Pros: awesome decor
Posted 05/08/09
I decided to try out this place last sat night and was impressed. two of my friends and i took a cab there so no need to worry about parking or driving. got there kinda early (10:45 ish) to wander around and check it out. walked right in to a lobby type entry with seating. got some drinks and headed to look around a bit. i found this cool spot upstairs, through some halls and a set of stairs. hung out for awhile and then went to see the rest. the place is huge!! i liked the different rooms and that there is a bar in all of them! we had a great time and i will be back out again tonight!!
Pros: This place is huge!
Cons: none that i could find
Posted 05/08/09
My friends and I went to celebrate a birthday party and the staff was extremely accomodating...they made sure we were well taken care of and even called us a cab at the end of the night. Also, Primal has the best security I've ever dealt with at a nightclub, very courteous
Posted 05/04/09
The way I was treated from the time I walked in the door with my friends was amazing!!! Everyone on this staff was so friendly. As we left the club the staff actually thanked us for coming out.... It is about time that there is a club where they appreciate the customer!!!!!
Thanks,
Johnny K
Pros: Service, service and more service
Posted 05/01/09
I've been going to Opera for the past few years and Primal completely out does from the friendly staff to the different areas. The lobby bar is always entertaining and the drink prices are really good considering being a club. The atmosphere and Dj's are a have to experience!
Pros: great drinks, good prices, awesome DJ's
Cons: None
Posted 04/27/09
I purchased a table in the main room Saturday night and had a blast! Not only was the table waitress beautiful but she was prob the best I've had between the major clubs in the A( opera, tongue and groove, door 44). The bottle prices were reasonable and we had a great time! I will def be going back for the outstanding service and the atmosphere.
Posted 04/27/09
I recently went there to celebrate a friends birthday and was blown away. Primal makes you feel like your in a vegas club but your still in ATL. Unlike other clubs that I've been to the bartenders and security actually had personalities! The entire club is amazing, drinks are good, service is AWESOME! I was really surprised
Pros: Drink Prices, Service, Music, Atmosphere, Fun
Posted 04/27/09
I had the best time ever! I had my birthday party there. We had a VIP table, got a free bottle of champagne, had a gorgeous waitress who totally took care of us! And- I'm a girl and thought the waitress would be snooty. Nope! I recommend this place to everyone! Hot staff, hott crowd!
Posted 04/19/09
I went to Primal for the first time last weekend and had a blast! I was really surprised to see how big the club is. Besides the main dance floor, there are two outdoor patios, an upstairs room with a view of the city, a "rock" styled room, and a bar in the front. The staff was really nice, and the crowd was a lot of fun. I am definantly going back. There is something for everyone!
Pros: Great service and nice area
Posted 04/09/09
first they are over charging for drinks. the vip service is horrible for the 250 you pay for a booth. the waitresses take forever to get to your table so they must be understaffed. the waitresses take advantage of the people they think are drunk. After paying 225 to get 6-8 people in and a booth and bottle iwas told 125 for the 2nd bottle but she charged my credit card 250 and i was threatened by security when i tried to dispute it. a girl threw up in the vip area and NO ONE cleaned it up. Parking is a pain in the a** and cost 10 dollars. For a new club on the scene they are over stepping their boundaries. The social scene is ok but the management and service are bad for the prices you are paying.
Pros: nice crowd
Cons: service, waitresses, management,
Posted 03/10/09
Seriously a terrible club to go to. I was escorted by the entire security staff outside, and was threatened with brass knuckles, and was told I was being taken into a back alley. Earlier in the night my friend was at the bar and one bouncer told him he cannot stand at the bar, he needed to go dance. Bartenders are cool, but drinks are ridiculously expensive, too bad you feel unsafe by so called security. Manager cannot control his own rent - a - cops. So be warned, if you want to see what it was like to be caught cheating in 1972 Vegas go here and look out for big dudes with little brains who all are UFC rejects.
Pros: cool bartenders.
Cons: rabid security.
Posted 02/27/09
I went just this past weekend when they had DJ Chachi. The place is much bigger than I expected, and there was a full crowd. It has a Vegas-esque vibe... the staff was great. Some disadvantages were drink prices and seating inside, but there is an awesome outdoor patio and another patio off of the top floor Sky Bar(where the drinks are also cheaper than the lower part). Fun place, people, and music. I'll be back!
Posted 02/15/09
Out of all honesty it is a nice club, great crowd....staff is a little on the edge....waitresses will flirt and take advantage of your drunkness. As far as the VIP service there wasn't much service. They put us in the corner of the club where no one was and they provided plastic cups with a waitress that came 20mins later to pour a drink for us. I recommend no one pay with cash because it just happen to get "lost" when a waitress takes it from someone drunk. But over all its a nice place just keep your eyes open!
Pros: Atmosphere and Crowd
Cons: Cheap Service and Money Hungry Waitresses
