Felix’s On the Square

Not bad not the greatest its a dive bar. Expected more interactive from bartender
Its a mix of ild blue collar an perfume wearing twinks. Yea ill pass

Bartenders are great, good vibe but they don’t really open at noon on Saturdays, I don’t know when they actually open… Damn, and I needed a beer.

Top notch environment… Not the pretentious run of the mill typical gay bar. Its a very cool diverse mix of people all having a lively or chill time w/​o the pressure of being hit on… its a very cruise controlled place. I decided to check this place out after leaving Burkharts it was just across the parking lot… I loved the music because it was all over the place from classic rock, pop, r&b, rap, old skool, and country… Being a musically eclectic this was a pleasant surprise… Now there were a few drunks stumbling their way through which was entertaining to watch at least they were not obnoxious like at other bars like Blake’s… This is a really cool spot, the staff was really cool & laid back. I suggest this place to anyone who wants a good time out without all the pretentious & clickish type environment that you get at other gay bars. The only bad point is the bar allows smoking so the smoke smell will be in your clothes after leaving here… but its Georgia & they have not passed the law like in NYC that stop smoking in all bars & restaurants.

Visiting from Birmingham, and we decided to check out somewhere besides the usual gay destinations. It was a small space, but the crowd was lively and not pretentious. My friend enjoyed her drink (a bit strong, but she didn’t complain), and found it reasonably priced. The karaōke was fun, and the song selection pretty standard, but the KJ made it a wild experience in the best way possible. She was quick-​witted, could sing well, and seemed to have a great rapport with the local crowd. Wish we had somebody as lively back home running the mic. The smoke was a little too much, since it was a small place, and there wasn’t much available seating. Wouldn’t mind returning if we find ourselves in ATL again.

Great! Completed the trifecta of bar hopping, starting at Burkhart’s, then Oscar’s and finally Felix’s. Each has there own personality and I loved all three and glad I came here last night (Saturday). It is hopping and we had a drunk girl here this night and she acted fearful of singing but really was great! That is the hit and miss of karaōke, ie some singers good, most others not so. Actually didn’t have a drink, just listend to karaōke singers and was entertained. Fun, friendly crowd and it was crowded. Free parking (get there early!) and no cover charge. Smoking is unfortunately allowed in Atlanta bars so I understand why doors stay open now even when cold outside. All good since tonight smoke wasn’t a problem for me.

It’s definitely on the seedier side, but you never know what or who you’ll see at Felix’s. It can be rather entertaining, especially on late nights when you can’t hardly move. They do Karaōke on some nights (which I am not a fan of), but many people are drawn to. Good stiff drinks for all.

Maybe they should rename this bar The Chamber of Second Hand Smoke? Sounds much more glamorous and too the point. I’m sorry people, but I’ve got to inject some sanity into all of these kumbaya reviews. Now I’ve come to understand that southern people are sweet, cordial, and very «read between the lines» types of people, but that doesn’t work well on Unilocal.Unilocal is really about getting the cold hard truth in the bright light of day. Yes, the staff is exceptionally sweet and friendly, yes the music was great and I wish I would’ve got to experience more of the character of this bar, but I’m sorry– being able to breath is sort of a priority to those of us that well, WANT to live. Come on people! Seriously, get with the f’n program already! Smoking in enclosed environments is SO unhealthy, so ghetto, and so last millennium! Yes, smokers have the right to slowly kill themselves with carcinogenic cancer sticks that don’t even get them high, but what about MY right to NOT breathe toxic second hand smoke and lead an otherwise healthy, happy life by existing in my natural state of non-​smokerness? If they want to die a slow death of a million lashes, fine, be my guest! But don’t drag the rest of us who want to live long lives down with you! Really, it’s so rude!
I walked into this smoke-​filled chamber of death for a quick drink (not knowing it was a full on smoking lounge) and had great service by the sexy bartender (Quinton, you’re so f’n fine and sweet dude!). The crowd seemed great, music was really good. Totally a place I could’ve rocked out and had a good time, but everywhere I looked people were smoking cigarettes! *Even one of the guys behind the bar* was walking around with a cig in his mouth! Ew! Sorry, smoking while on your shift behind the bar is so highly unprofessional-​not to mention gross! If you take any pride in being in the service industry and providing a good experience for your customers… well, you shouldn’t even need this reminder! Get a clue! I decided I’d take the loss on my drink and leave because I couldn’t take anymore of the smoke filled room and didn’t want to take additional time off my life by hanging out with future lung cancer patients in the chamber of death. I hope these people are signed up for Obamacare because hanging out in places like this, they’ll definitely need some coverage for their cancer treatments! I know this review is harsh but I figure the owners could use some real feedback instead of all the bullshit fluff reviews I’ve read in Atlanta only to be disappointed because they were really rating how friendly people are instead of the actual MEAT of the business. Clean up your act Felix’s and you’ll watch your business increase. If smokers can deal with smelly clothes, yellow teeth, constant hacking, nobody wanting to kiss their ashtray breath, and modern society looking at them like they’re insane, they can deal with walking their asses outside for a smoke! Let people who want to enjoy drinks in a smoke free environment do so without leaving your bar smelling like some tobacco farming, marlboro man-​whore, ashtray from hell. Thanks.

A great spot to kick back and have a few strong ones… Hit ‘em up Thursday nights for the «King» of Karaōke, ATL’s mini-​celeb TK (one, Mr. Tyler King). A verrrry good time you’ll not soon forget!

I have been here for karaōke Thursdays a few times and overall like it. The KJs are good and some of the people who sing are really good and entertaining.
The bartenders know how to pour a drink and overall I am a fan.
The only downside for me is that it’s small and people can smoke in there so sometimes, it gets to be a bit much.

Ive only been here once, its a very laid back bar and the people are fun, its a little too laid back and run down for my taste, but its fun to go every now and then. The karaōke is always fun and anyone who goes to Felix’s has to do it for the hell of it. The bartenders are friendly and make some damn good drinks. The place is tiny so it can get kind of cramped, but other than that, its fun.

I had only stopped in here once before for like 1 drink but I always thought this hole-​in-​the-​wall bar was a little sketchy. But I have to say after hanging out there this past weekend for a friend’s birthday celebration I am now a fan of Felix’s. The place is small, but the drinks are strong and the staff is friendly. The karaōke hosts especially were a treat. They are great singers, and funny to boot! I will definitely be returning to Felix’s in the future.

While it definitely leans more to the tragic side than to the upscale one, this little bar had more than a treat in store for me upon my recent visit. The drinks were okay, but the real entertainment came from the karaōke guys; they are AMAZING. Listen to me, these guys aren’t «they can sing karaōke» good, they are «holy shit, they can really sing» good. I had such a great time listening to them, that it didn’t matter that I had a to wait a bit to sing myself. That being said, they have a great selection of songs, and everyone in the bar was really getting into the groove of what everyone was singing; it was a fun environment.
Now on to the minuses: well, it’s the south, so they allow smoking. Since the bar is so small, it quickly becomes almost overwhelming, so more than a few hours and I have to leave before my lungs jump out of my chest and head for the door. While I loved the karaōke guys, they had the music up about 5 decibels away from permanent hearing damage, so I could have stood for it to be a bit quieter; keep in mind, I don’t mind it loud, but this was like a jack hammer on my ear drums.
Regardless of the bad, I really had a great time here with my friends, and a special treat the night we went was the clearly «drunk off of her ass» lady who kept hitting on anything with a pulse. Seriously lady, you couldn’t be barking up any more of the wrong tree. It’s a gay bar! The best, was that people kept giving her drinks! Well, it may have been quite the scene, but at least it gave us something fun to watch; after all, I cannot turn away from a train wreck… no matter how tragic the scene may be!

I’ve been to Felix’s a few times and almost always have a great time when I go. The bartenders are friendly, the drinks are strong, and the karaōke is fun. As I get older, I tend to enjoy bars that don’t have a whole lot going on at once, and Felix’ s is definitely that.
