GREAT HIDEAWAY HIP HOP BAR..Y CUZIN CRIMEAPPLE PERFORMANCE WAS OUT OF THIS LYRACYST WORLD!!!
Fantastic, intimate venue with personable folks behind the bar. I felt at home within 5 minutes of stepping the door.
Very clear sound set. Reminds me of the stages in lower Manhattan NY
Pat the bartender plays awesome tunes!
Went to LA CHOLOTECA, Perro, I was the only Chulo there‼️No Lames Tho.🕶️🎈
Great shows. Ive enjoyed every live performance Ive seen there.
Its a great venue, large enough to accommodate a crowd, but small enough for the bands to fill the room. Their sound guy is really really good. Drinks are decently priced, staff is super helpful and friendly. 5/5 would drink & see bands here again.
Cool spot to get drinks they even have a walk-up window, its also a dope venue to see bands
Weve only been here once. The show was great but the sound wasnt. There seemed to be issues with volume control, as well as with acoustics. This is the only venue where weve left with out ears feeling in pain. A bartender was quite rude to us so we went to the other bar in the venue, where we were treated much more kindly. This is our least favorite venue but wed go back if there was a show we wanted to see badly enough.
I went here not knowing what to expect & im happy I did. Live music, great crowd, & good drinks. The only reason I didnt give it a 5 was, because there wasnt alot of room inside
This is a cool spot for live music. They have a relatively tiny bar section, but its serves its purpose. I have seen a few shows there and had a blast every time. The beers here are reasonably priced and the wait time is respectable.
This spot is a great place to hang out. The beer is good, and there is usually always dancing and music. I seem to end up here with several friends from different friends groups. I truly enjoy this bar, and the location. Whats not to love about East Atlanta Village?
The bar staff are great, the venue space is super intimate and has a slight smell of mold. I love it. Amazing spot for live music. The doorway between the bar and venue is too tight, that is my only complaint.
Had a blast at the Nightmare Before Christmas drag show. The bartenders were sweet and the patrons were just as great. Drinks are affordable and do the job. Bathrooms were well kept and the atmosphere was nothing short of EAV. Loved it and cant wait to return.
One of the staples of EAV night life. More than just a bar! The live shows here have a very intimate feel with the smaller stage and the crowd standing so close (if Sneaky Hand is performing, the lead singer is liable to hop down and mingle during the performance). Local talents perform here on a regular basis. I love this place, but please make sure to wear ear protection as the music is generally loud enough to hear from the bar and even patio area (as it should be). Theyll give you free ear plugs at the bar - just ask.
The location is wonderful, there’s plenty of places to eat near the place because 529 doesn’t sell food. They just remodeled the building and the new stage is great and the sound quality is great. I went to see Rotten Stitches and a few other bands and had a wonderful time!
Big, open venue. Dont care for the cigarette smoke (millennial alert)... Been to a concert and a comedy show here. Both really inviting shows. Bathrooms are clean too if you care.
Won tickets on a local radio station for a show here once; couldnt have been a better venue to stumble upon. Its in a hipster area with a crowd that mostly consisted of young professionals. You feel safe walking back to your car and the show was not only intimate but amazing! Have been regularly checking for upcoming bands ever since.
Great intimate venue. Bands were great. Psychic Death, The Difference Machine and Upchuck! Upchuck was really great!
Any venue that hosts the likes of Leeway is a 5 star establishment by default. My experience was excellent. From the friendly greet by the doorman, to the farewell hadshake from the band, everything was exceptional. I should also note that although I was only drinking a red bull, the bartenders were very accommodating, and engaging.
Good small dive bar with outdoor/patio seating and a stage/venue hosting many good local and non-local bands. I usually go to the metal shows and the sound engineer does a great job. Cheap booze.
Before COVID, easily one of my favorite venues in Atlanta hosting the best local, touring and even obscure shows every night. Miss those great week night crowds! 😢
Good drink prices awesome digs
Fun, hipster bar and music venue in EAV. Saw an Atlanta punk rock band called SMALL deliver big!
My band has played at 529 for years. We love the environment. It is always a party every time there is a show there. It is kind of like what having a part in your parents basement when they went off out of town was like. Everyone telling dining from plastic cups, singing, dancing enough to get sweaty, its a blast. The bar tenders are extremely efficient, youll never have to wait an unreasonable amount of time for a drink. Try their Jack and Coke slushie when its warm out, it is super refreshing and will get you feeling right for the show! The posted show times in the website are always early, the does tend to run late, but thats the point over there. Expect to have a fun later evening of drinks, partying, and loud rock and roll!
Great. Its a dive bar. Without dumb pretentious bartenders. You would think it wouldnt need a medal because of such. But it does. Of curse great service, music, prices, afternoon television, bands. Not in that order. Cheers
Standard run of the mill bar. Has some amazing artists that keep touring though.
A bit on the noisy side, but the food is great and the beer selection is great too. Also has a much better soundtrack than most bars, but Im biased due to my love of old school metal.
Pretty nice spot in EAV. Went in for the Saturday open mic comedy night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Drink prices are just right and staff was doing great considering the number of people who came in for the show.
Great smaller size venue to get a really personal experience with the bands. Different music almost every night, fantastic place to discover new or local music. Tickets usually available at the door.
Great music venue!! Very intimate! Also very obvious that it has been recently renovated. Bathrooms were amazingly clean and even still smelled like fresh paint.
Not really anywhere to sit. I went to see a friends set and was not aware that the band would play well after midnight. I ended up missing it because it was so late. The guest djs were good though
I went to 529 to catch a snarky puppy show in 2011. it was a lot smaller inside than i expected but it made for a very intimate show. it was definitely a great night. the fact that i could visit the bar for a breather when the adjacent room was 2 packed for breathing was a real plus. i really enjoyed myself and truly appreciated the intimacy 529 offers for music performances. yes, i will revisit!
Outstanding venue. The sound is great and drinks are fairly priced. No food. Its a gritty dive, but has class where it counts.
Dive bar in East Atlanta. Saw a great show in their back room.
Drinks are cheap. Staff is fun and efficient. They have a really diverse and interesting mix of clientele. Will return (in the next couple hours probably)
Excellent metal played by the bands .it was so brutal
Cozy music and comedy venue in East Atlanta. Love the staff and the crowd is generally a younger trendy lot. Excellent place to see some of the talented and interesting people of Atlanta.
Enjoyed the drinks and it was a nice atmosphere 👌 Great music too!!
529 is a cool go to spot in east Atlanta. They always have an eclectic array of good music and a great atmosphere. The staff is top notch. Do yourself a favor and go catch a show!
First time in East Atlanta Village. Loved the energy of the community except for the persistent beggars working the streets...529 was a really open venue with a great vibe. The Ancient Void completely filled the space with very clean OSDM.
Very cool venue to see underground local and touring acts! The sound is amazing! This really is a great live music venue!🙂🙂
Ive been to this venue numerous times and I have never had a bad experience. The bartenders are usually pretty good with minimal wait time. I highly recommend the Jameson slushies.
Well mixed loud music. Probably one of the best mix jobs for rock music in the city.Cheap beers.Jameson ginger slushies.Outdoor patio if you need a break from aforementioned loud music and want to keep drinking.
We went for Saturday afternoon comedy. While it was nice that it was free and everyone was very very friendly, it reeked of smoke and was grossly claustrophobic, making me and my friend rush out after the show.
Great place for an intimate show. Good times! 🤘🍻
Great local bar and music venue. Cheap beer and surprisingly friendly staff. It’s smoky if that’s not your thing.
One of my favorite places in EAV. Good music and good sound, with a groovy staff. The recent renovations they did are pretty awesome, and it’s a good spot to catch local music.
Cozy bar. If you are lucky enough to get a seat at the bar you will enjoy 529. I visited on a Thursday afternoon and had numerous quality conversations while drinking 529s reasonably priced libations.
My home away from home and I dont even drink! 529 has Atlantaa longest running show up / go up comedy open-mic. Every Saturday at 4:20 PM you can see some of the citys best comics (and newcomers alike) try out their newest comedy nuggets.
Its definitely the smallest venue Ive ever been to since it was the first time Ive seen Calabrese and Jucifer. the sounds isnt too bad but it has some charm to it.
Played a show there, great staff and venue 🙂
So much fun, great place that I hang out with my Son. Great Shows, and fun bands like Sad Fish! Had a blast with the young ones!
Local haunt for up and coming bands from local faves to national acts and international touring groups. Cheap drinks and highly air conditioned. An Atlanta treasure.
Im more of a smokey low light bar kinda gal if you catch my drift. Lol
I went on a Monday night, so there wasnt much of a crowd. Its a good place to see a small band to close. Small venue, but LOUD music
One of the good spots in the EAV. Cold beer and good music. Perfect patio for day drinking. Highly recommended
Great spot. Decent beer selection with good prices, great staff, great shows, and a walk up window to order your favorite beverages from their patio.
This is a great dive bar for some premium live music. The booking agent does a great job of bringing in very interesting stuff!
Great space for a concert after they opened it up. Bar is very reasonably priced. Bartenders were great.
Bar is eh. The music on the other hand is great. They showcase talents from across the city and nation. Def worth a visit.
Very smokey and uninterested bar tender. I didnt stay for live music which I guess is the main feature of the venue. After a few minutes waiting to get served at the bar I left when the smoke got too much.
Always a good vibe inside or out. Expect to see familiar faces of you frequent EAV. Always friends nearby! Try out a James and ginger slushy on a warm summer night.
Cool little place to go hear great local bands. The staff is friendly and great bartenders
Loudest venue in Atlanta in my opinion. Very small but intimate. Bring ear plugs if its a metal band.
Great dive bar. Good drinks. Good place to see live music.
Always a blast. The best booking in the city with a brand new light/sound system. Sounds/looks heavenly
Great service, friendly bartender. A nice little venue, cant go wrong with drinking and entertainment
Total dive. The staff are pretty surly but I suppose thats part of the vibe. I can see why its popular with locals. Other than the decor its a typical bar.
Always a good time. Great service and good prices…
Crazy low beer prices, great venue, good music. Had a good time when I was here.
My favorite place to see a show. Bar staff is awesome and the drinks are inexpensive.
Love this place and the bands they put on! Drinks are good and pretty cheap for the area.
Love this dive! One TV that never plays sports. But no worries, youll love this spot. Check it when in EAV.
Cool badass bartenders look annoyed when you wave to them to order a drink. Good music though
Excellent spot in East Atlanta! Great staff and sound and nearby The Earl if you ever need to get some food!
Divey and full of smoke. An awesome venue for shows, but be prepared for the cigarette stench, and get ready for a shower after.
Go to a dive show here, you wont regret it
Good vibe, good food, good people
Love 529 for local and up and coming touring acts - its a great place to see a live show.
Such a warm cozy atmosphere! Love the live bands!
I have lots of fun at shows here. Nothing but good times at this place!
Best bar in EAV to see a cheap, quality show. Never had a bad time here.
Nice spot with awesome folks working it. Great shows with great sound!
I went here to see a friend and the band. Nice place its cool.
Awesome bartenders, great atmosphere, best acts. I love this place.
Definitely one of the smallest bars Ive been to. I love the walk up order window.
Came to catch 16 Bars perform. Awesome intimate venue with great drinks and great service.
The owner is awesome, the live shows are great and prices arent bad at all!!
Awesome show! Congrats to Breathers on their new album!

2022-02-09One of my favorite places to watch a show. Its never overly packed and service has always been decent. Id say avoid it if youre not a smoker because outside is just a big smoke fest.
Review №2
2022-06-02Great location in east Atlanta. A cozy bar and a cast of patrons that attend. I went and saw a comedy show with live music after and it was a blast.

2022-04-20Pretty small bar, they host some cool performances.
Review №4
2022-03-06Awesome night, the DJs had me dancing all night long. DJ Tag and his edits were straight ridiculousness. I mightve lost 5 lbs by the end of the night. Best fun since before the pandemic.
Review №5
2022-04-25Always a vibe. Love their little patio and the upgrades they made to the venue are top notch.
Review №6
2022-05-14Small bar, small venue. Great for up close band watching.
Review №7
2019-05-12Some local metal bands played here and I came specifically to see them. No food ordered, nor am I one to consume any alcohol, so I cant comment on that, but the venue was extremely intimate--translate: 300 people made for a super tight fit. I was belly up at the stage so the press came from behind. Better that than having all the drunk sweaty people blocking my view of the stage. Other than that, I really did enjoy the show. Decent neighborhood too for safety and parking.

2017-02-07Very small cozy bar. A modest size beer selection. Bartenders were friendly and quick to provide service. I was here for a show and the sound was fairly good from an audience stand-point.

2021-11-06529 rules. And if you think different, lets get a drink there. You wont hold that same opinion after. Bartenders are hip, they always know what you need. Musics top-notch, too, always with the perfect b-movie on the screen.
