Went here for Halloween. We paid $25 each for a cover charge. A total of $100 dollars. We waited in line for an hour. The guy behind us had a wrist band but had to wait in line. We were told by the bouncers we could go get a wrist band at Calypso and come back but he was lying because everyone with wristbands had to come back and get in the back of the line. We left the guys in line and went to Calypso to get our wristbands. When we came back they gave us flak saying we had just jumped in line! When we finally got in we paid $24 for 2 shots and a bud lite. HERE'S THE KICKER: we went to the dance floor which is upstairs and a bouncer wouldn't let us up there. When my friend tried to ask him if it was because it was packed and should we wait in line he pretended like he couldn't hear her and was extremely rude. So we waited and hour to stand at the bar for another hour and when we finally went to another bouncer he said he couldn't let all 4 of us up even though we just watched 6 or 7 leave the dance floor. WTH?

Halo is one of the "it" clubs in Atlanta at the moment. Drinks are overpriced and the lines at the door are long, but that's true of any worthwhile spot. The patrons are good looking and the music is hot, so it equals a good time.

One of the hippest bars in Atlanta. Halo is in a class all its own with fantastic lighting and architectural layout. The crowd is a
mix of every race and sexual orientation. The bartenders are
fantastic and attentive, serving top notch drinks and the prices
are reasonable. I would recommend this place for younger people - it's definitely not buckhead material which is always a plus in my book.

came here for a ladies nite on 10/25. Music was ok for the first 15-20 mins, then took a turn downhill. We got there at 12 stayed till 1:30. Place was empty. Only your random drunk chick was dancing on the empty floor. (Served for good entertainment) Guys? none, drinks where the only highlight of the evening. The multi-color lights they mention where no where to be seen. Parking was really close and secure for only $5, cover was only $5. But i guess it should be since the place is empty! Very disappointing a waste of gas. would not recommend.

Pros: parking, drinks

Cons: music, atmosphere, eyecandy

September 21, 2008

This place would be awesome for a social netmixer event. These events are hot if you are a young professional. If you haven't been to one sign up because its coming back to ATL!

This is my favorite bar in atlanta. Great music, beautiful people. Best nights, Mondays and Thursdays.

August 07, 2008

Went there for my bachlorette party and had a blast. Drinks were delicious and they made it just the we liked them. Service was goood..Would go back. The only thing is that it is hard to find. It's accross from the Biltmore, but its just a door on the side of the building.

August 05, 2008

I have had a great time on my visits to Halo. I have never been dissapointed when DJ's Applejuice and J Sol are spinning. The atmosphere is hot, but drinks are kind of expensive. Its worth checking out.

August 05, 2008

This ultra slick and contemporary bar/lounge is located in Midtown next to the Biltmore Hotel and each room glows with its own mood. The vibrant and colorful atmosphere attracts young professionals. Sometimes expensive in nature because of only top notch drinks, dont expect to come here and drink for cheap. With many rooms and luscious couches, one would never get tired here. A great happy hour and crowd, there?s not euch else to say about this club. One of the best Atlanta has to offer.

I have been to Halo several times and love the scene but have never loved the music. I went last night with a group of girls and it was pretty dead. They were playing a lot of techno which no one was feeling. We decided to place a request so we could dance. The informed me that they do no except requests (eventhough no one was dancing, so they were clearly not doing their job) and was really rude. We left right after and went to Twisted Taco so we could dance and make requests.

Pros: Good Atmosphere

Cons: Weird Indie Music that you cant dance to

Pros: martin

November 28, 2007

The old Biltmore LIVES. The old Biltmore Hotel's basement now opens to an astutely designed club with chic cocktails and see-and-be-seen opportunities. Several blocks from overblown Crescent Avenue, this demure lounge places modern furniture against a concrete backdrop. The mood is set with oversized blown-glass light fixtures that bathe the crowd in a flattering glow. The bar is long, white and glows various shades of red, blue and yellow throughout the evening. A glass wall behind the bar reveals a two-level lounge where DJs play down-tempo tunes on weekend nights. Lots of events and specials. Lots of fun....

September 12, 2007

The music kept at an up beat tempo. Great atmosphere, and people were very social. Drinks weren't to expensive, and the Hooka was an original feature. The area was kept clean and the servers kept my cup full, I recommend this place to the single crowd.

Pros: Nice location

Cons: parking difficult to find.

July 19, 2007

I have only been here twice, both on weekdays, so I have yet to experience the weekend night scene. But what I have seen of Halo I would recommend. It is very trendy and modern. It had a lounge feel and a dark lighting effect. Very nice. I am looking foward to going on a weekend and experiencing what the place is really all about!

Pros: Trendy

Cons: Not busy on weekdays

October 30, 2006

Went there this weekend and this place rocked! If your looking for a cool spot to chill and hang out with your friends and you dont want alot of attitude from the bar staff this is the spizzle!

Pros: The Staff, The Atmosphere

Cons: None, parking but thats the problem everywhere

June 08, 2006

I had heard of Halo and decided to stop in last time I was in town for work. Finding the place was a tad difficult: we didn't really see any significant signage. Luckily there were some helpful people in the neighborhood who were happy to point us in the right direction. Overall, I was impressed with the drinks and the atmosphere: the drinks were good quality (not bottom shelf plastic bottle liquor), the bartenders were nice and really helpful, and the decor is just really really cool! I'll definitely stop in again next time I'm in Atlanta!

Pros: Drinks, Staff, Decor

Cons: Difficult to find

April 20, 2006

This is probably my favorite bar/club in all of Atlanta. It's a classy place, well-designed, with a very good staff, decent food and great drinks. Many of the female bartenders are quite gorgeous - it's always nice to have eye candy when sipping drinks at the bar, right? My one beef, and it's not Halo's fault, is that it is often top-rated as a singles scene. This couldn't be farther from the truth, at least for a single guy looking to meet women. Most of the time it is just couples and lots of single guys in groups. I've never, ever met a single girl here - if there are any in the club, they tend to be, well, not "a-list" girls. But, if you're looking for a great place to hang out, Halo is it.

Pros: Great atmosphere, gorgeous bar staff, smores

Cons: not a singles scene, packed on weekends, no hot single girls

December 01, 2005

Beautiful interior lacks competent bartenders and service. I enjoy the atmosphere greatly, unfortunately its usually difficult to get a drink.

Pros: Atmosphere, Ambience

Cons: Service, Bartenders, Drinks

March 28, 2004

Can't believe I just discovered Halo and live less than four blocks away... Halo is amazing! As far as the drink prices - they were not outrageous and actually quite reasonable considering everything is basically top shelf! Anyone that complains about the prices there doesn't know good liquor or a good drink and doesn't deserve to be there. The staff was amazing and friendly, as was the company. This place blew me away, so much to take in architecturally and design-wise... I finally found my favorite midtown bar

Pros: amazing drinks, friendly crowd, awesome atmosphere

February 20, 2004

Always a great place to grab a drink. Bartenders are friendly and attentive. I recommend ordering food during a visit--the macaroni & cheese, ham & cheese sandwich and s'mores are amazing!

Pros: Great food, Atmosphere, Attentive staff

December 30, 2003

My favorite weekday bar in Atlanta beyond all doubts. Wonderful architecture, great staff, fantastic DJs and a wonderfully diverse crowd create a bar that emanates style and can still be a place for Midtown's locals to wind down/up an weekday evening. Contrary to otternam14's complaint about no dress code, I love the freedom to go at anytime to the bar, straight from work or a friend's place without worrying about maintaining an artificial image.

Pros: Staff, No Dance Floor, DJs

Cons: No Dance Floor, Weekend Crowds

August 10, 2003

... A very nice chill place ... opend mind atmosphere ... lovely music ... beutiful people ... love the waitresses and bartenders ... drinks con un buen sabor!

Pros: music/people/area, no charge, drinks and service

Cons: 18+? once in a while, balcony or patio

February 05, 2003

i totally agree with the original rating. i used to hang out at the crescent room on an almost daily basis until the buckhead crowd caught on. now, i just go to halo. i love the staff & the atmosphere. it's a good place to meet famous folks as well...

January 13, 2003

This place is one of the most beautiful bars you will ever have the pleasure to step foot into. The amazing lighting and layout is simply makes this one of the coolest places I have ever been. The scene is solid and the people all seemed pretty cool. It was busy the night I went there, so it must not be a secret that this place is one of the best bars in Atlanta.

December 29, 2002

great mix of cultures at this hip, urban, upscale bar. people of all colors, creeds, and sexual preferences (no animal lovers, plz) made up the crowd on the saturday night i went. this is not a pick up joint, it's a place to hang out (not to say there aren't plenty of the opposite sex). somewhat clickish due to the bars layout, and it's not very big, but service is good (as was the music), and if you aren't a cacky pants-button down shirt type, definitely worth checking out.

Pros: no cover, good music

Cons: narrow bar area

December 26, 2002

anything goes behind the white onyx bar. With very deep lounge grooves and great mood lighting one can't help falling into the scene.
definetly a place to see and be seen as well as to be seeing.

November 30, 2002

The night before Thanksgiving with Atlanta being fairly dead HALO was vividly alive, sophisticated and sexy without an attitude. A very discreet entrance reminiscent of chic Manhattan establishments from clubbier days opens into a cavern of beautifully lit space. Raw concrete posts contrast with a polished alabaster bar that glows from within with a very flattering warm light. The staff offers excellent service, is there when desired and otherwise stays out of the way. The crowd is largely made up of attractive, affable young people a not ashamed of being friendly and visibly enjoining themselves. Drinks were drinks and nothing was overpriced or silly. HALO is a definitely the current highpoint on the Atlanta bar scene. Go for the atmosphere and mix with the crowd.

Pros: Atmosphere, Friendly, Attractive crowd

Cons: DJ but no dance floor

November 07, 2002

Best overall lounge in Atlanta. Friendliest staff of any "hip" establishment...bartender apologized for making me wait while he was taking care of the customers who were there before me (this happened on more than one occasion). They spent some money decorating this place; for all those who think this place looks cheap because it is spartan, you do not need to be intown. Also, does anyone know what the deal is with the cover charge? I keep hearing they sometimes charge although I've never been charged before.

Pros: hip atmosphere, friendly service, no cover...so far

Cons: no dance floor, hard to find seats

November 01, 2002

its not that hard to find.
If you can follow directions, its on the corner of W P'tree & 6th.
when you get inside, the decor is fabulous.
The crowd mixes & mingles somewhat, usually because you're forced to by the tiny space between the bar & wall.
Service can be slow, its better on weeknights when its not as crowded.
There is plenty to look at whether it be people watching or the excellent bar that changes hues
throughout the night.
For all the hype, I find its relatively unpretentious.
If you only have a weekend to spend in ATL and you're fired up to go out, make this a stop.

September 26, 2002

I, for one, am glad there is no sign outside . . if you can't figure out where it is, you don't deserve to get in.
As of late, it's become a tad too ghetto compared to the forerunning clientele but I guess Atlanta's not metropolis enough to be discerning like NYC.
The decor is flawless: from the light-infused bar to the stairway leading into the roof, this places looks great.
The service is great; except when it's packed and it's hard past the gaukers to the bar.
The food is of excellent quality, although they lack a requisite dessert offering. The french toast is well worth fighting to find parking for.

Pros: funky, cool bathrooms, decor, service

Cons: no dancefloor, OTP crowd, sporadic covercharge

September 18, 2002

Simply the Best in town.. Very hip NYC type lounge... Ultra Chic Retro decor.. The bartenders, the music, the crowd is always amazing.. No matter what your looking for in the crowd... it is always entertaining enough to find it at Halo.

September 11, 2002

I strolled into Halo one night, and it was bumping for a Monday night nonetheless. Had some featured drink called Nexcite. Be sure to try that mixed drink they make with it, it was really good. Makes fire in the loins.

cheers.

-your groove I do deeply dig.

August 23, 2002

Wow.. finding Halo was a bright spot in an otherwise dreary night life scene. The DJ's are friendly and know what they are doing. The drinks are perfect and the staff really friendly!

Pros: Great Music

August 15, 2002

HALOLICIOUS, BEST BAR IN THE CITY, HANDS DOWN, GREAT STAFF!!!

Pros: USUALLY NO COVER, POTENT DRINKS, GREAT DJ'S

July 29, 2002

Despite not having a sign out front to let you know how to find it and a surly manager when we were making fun of that fact, this bar is a welcome refreshment to Midtown. We went on a weeknight so the crowd was smaller but very cool interior in a laidback NY wannabe kind of way - no cover charge and a lack of cheese which is tough to find in Midtown these days. The chairs weren't the most comfortable in the world but good service by the waitstaff and reasonable drink prices made up for it. Definitely worth a stop before you hit the clubs.

July 15, 2002

...in a good way. The space and design is sleek and hip, as is the crowd. As the night wears on, the crowd does get more diverse as people filter in from other nearby bars. The narrow alleyway in front of the bar is a bit uncomfortable, but you can get to the other side by taking a trip upstairs and around behind the bar, which allows you to take in the DJ and a little crowd watching. Downside: The music is LOUD, so don't expect to get into any deep conversations.

Pros: Great service, Good music, if loud

Cons: Loud, Hard to find entrance

July 05, 2002

This bar is the best I have seen in any U.S. city. judging the drinks, decor, and service there is no comparison to any bar in the city. I love this bar and I am sorry if there is someone in the bar that does not match your guidelines for being cool. But variety is the spice of life.....barboy

Pros: decor, music, secure valet

Cons: hard to find, crowded

May 14, 2002

This club is definitely a step in the right direction for the Midtown scene. Finally a place that doesn't strive to be exactly like every other club in the neighborhood (Cosmo, Lava, Tangier, etc.) Love the mod decor. I found the crowd a little obnoxious, though--dorky buttoned-down guys with their lame pickup lines. It is Midtown, after all, so what can you expect? At least they don't charge a cover.

Pros: Cool decor, No cover charge

Cons: Lame crowd
