Future Atlanta

Hello, I am a gay man. (Single mid 20s) who went to future on a Saturday night. It was a late night, I have been to future many times. I have never in my life been mistreated in the way the staff treated me. The woman with dreadlocks essentially ripped the bathroom stall door open of the “women’s” restroom that I have been inside many times (there’s no label). They kicked me out of the facility with no question, she also disrespected any gay man whom tried to defend me and threatened them with the lack of protection I was seeking. The entire establishment seems to lack any sort of compassion for the LGBT community, it’s unfortunate. Being in management of an upscale restaurant, I have yet to experience the discrimination that took place this evening. If this is something ownership is willing to do or capable of implementing it saddens my heart. All I have to say is, to my fellows out there. If this review offends you in some way. I would not recommend this establishment. And I will never recommend it again.

I went to go see the Disco Dollz (Brigitte Bidet, Coco Iman Starr, Cici Nicole, and Raquel Heart) with my girlfriend, mom, and aunt. It was my first drag show and a GREAT first. I highly recommend the show. The queens were funny, kind, and amazing performers. They had their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent covered! I know the queens are paid performers, but I still felt like they were genuinely good natured. Everyone, seasoned or new, queer or not, felt welcomed and entertained. They even stayed for a quick minute after the show to say hi. The venue itself was a bit small, but it provided an intimate atmosphere, especially when the queens took time to give every part of the room some love. The food was a bit expensive (average bar food pricing), but there was no charge to walk through the door save for the $4 it took to reserve a table for 4. The room looked and smelled clean and bags were checked before even entering The Underground, so I didn't have any concerns about my surroundings. I was asked to give an honest review and I can honestly say I had a great time and found it hard to find places to improve. I have no improvement notes for the queens. They were amazing, especially given the small space they had to work with. Maybe allow them to use the bigger location to give them a bigger stage? The pizza could definitely be better. They didn't have olives for my girlfriend's martini, there was a support beam that kinda got in the way but made for a good prop, and the nearby elevator didn't work (my aunt is disabled and has a hard time with stairs). Directions (not just the address) to the exact location could be given on the website for those who've never been, but the phone was answered almost immediately and directions were given when asked. There were 2 queens listed on the flyer we didn't get to see, but the rest definitely made up for that. All that's just nit picky because I was specifically asked to find things to improve on, and none of it had to do with the present queens. Overall, we had a great time! I HIGHLY recommend the show. Although drag is for all ages, this particular show is not. So, leave the kids, bring your dollars and cameras, and prepare to lose your voice. Don't forget to give them all your love! Ladies, you're amazing!

Skip this place. Went to “Xion Friday”. I was excited to find a Gay after-bar that boasts its 14,000 square feet. Photos of this place are extremely misleading. There was a good amount of guests (100+). BUT turns out, you only get terrible music (boring House music), poor service (1 bartender), and you don’t get to experience the second floor (apparently it was “closed”…why have and advertise about a second floor?). The first floor is the size of a small bar. I hope another a Gay after-bar opens up soon.

We were so excited to go to future for the first time, but there was a $25 cover upstairs for what?! The DJ played nothing but house music and the dance floor was dead. It was a clean beautiful space but the $25 cover makes no sense.

I went on a Friday night for the free drag show. Food was great, staff was friendly, we were able to exchange larger bills for ones. The queens were amazing and entertaining. Manager even remembered I don't drink and gave me a shot of pineapple juice when I participated in the little dance contest. A fun experience that I will return to. Good to know they have an afterhours bar from 3-6am. I recommend parking in the underground parking deck 75 MLK Jr DR SW

The bartender stole my gfs phone and then hid it while actively trying to ban us after we got suspicious…ew

The security guard not police takes your weed and will not return it even if you decide you’re not going in… sounds like somebody selling folks weed or smoking it one but just a heads up!!!

Dropped the ball on Sunday night pride. Extremely disorganized. Dangerous situation where 100s of people trying to get through the door. Paid expensive ticket and don’t even open the doors on time. Dance floor Empty even the party has been going for 45 minutes because they letting people on so slowly. they only have 2 bartenders for hundreds of people ?! Wait an hour to get in and another 45 minutes for a drink. Scam establishment:
