Koo Koo Room

I rarely go out to a lounge… in fact, it’s been 3 years. I have no idea if Koo Koo Room is a known great place or a horrible place.
Use Über. Safe yourself the anger and frustration. :)
I did like the space and bar here. Seemed pretty open & everyone in my group got a drink & were satisfied. One thing I liked: music was great here. None of the EDM stuff. I never understood how people enjoyed that kind of music… to each their own. Haha.
When I went (a Saturday night before midnight) — there was no cover. Major plus. I hate cover.
As I saw people trickle in — there were all kinds of folks here. I wasn’t aware this lounge attracted such different groups, haha. It slowly got crowded — which is a good sign. They do have random couches inside… some were even reserved. I assume people can get their parties in there.
If I’m in the lounge mood, I wouldn’t mind coming back.

I seriously love this place. Every time I’ve been here, the music has always been great! Like someone else said, the crowd is very diverse. You never really know who you’re going to run into here, and I love that. The entrance is really cool too. It’s tucked away like you’re going to some secret room and the inside has a real sexy red and very dark theme. The whole setup makes you feel very trendy.

this place was fine but it gets minus two starts for hours — the hours on Unilocal are definitely not accurate, and the hours on their website don’t match the hours on their voicemail message, so it’s pretty hard to figure out when they’re open. i left my credit card here last saturday night (i pretty much never start a tab, so i should have known i’d forget it) and i’ve stopped by three times, called etc. trying to get it back. no luck. i’m about to make my fourth trip tomorrow night. hopefully they’ll be open for a change!

Love it. One of my absolute favorite spots to go in Midtown, especially on Wednesdays — or Mondays after the STK event. When buying a drink ask for Daniel — Tell them David sent you.

Went on a Tuesday. Wasn’t feeling the space, music, drinks or crowd. It was empty inside yet they were happy to charge 20 for guys to get in and 10 for ladies. Disappointed to say the least…

Interesting. Ordered two drinks and was told $ 20. I put it on my credit card and suddenly it was $ 18. Maybe cause I’m black. I can only speculate. But I hate that shit. Otherwise, it seemed to be ok. Smh.

If I could give it no stars I would. They use AWFUL alcohol. Can’t stress this enough. Almost undrinkable. And on top of it all it is super expensive. Go anywhere else.

I don’t remember much of what happened at this place but I do recall it being a pretty hoppin’ club. There was a mixed bag of folks. You had your group of hot girls who wouldn’t let a guy come within three feet of them. There was a group of young men dressed up as if they just came from their rookie day in the corporate world (it was Saturday night, BTW). One guy who rolled one deep was smashed beyond everything imaginable and was hitting on anything that walks. Turns out, my buddy knew him. Go figure. Fireball shots later.
$ 10 cover to get inside. The bar has an underground feel. The DJ was playing good music. At my age, I tend to people watch at the bar so I wasn’t really into getting into all the shenanigans of what was going on. It sure was fun watching drunk people have fun.
Everything listed above are all key ingredients to any fun night.

The weekend staff is awesome. But just like any other atlanta clubs, there are «segregated nights» which I hate. The guy the runs the door on Tuesdays is a total ahole.

Went for a friends birthday. Its small and was super duper, sweaty, can barely walk packed. If I remember if they even have a dance floor its hella small. Tank, Keri Hilson, Bobby Valentino and Charles Barkley were there. Charles was behind the bar making shots. no pun intented which was fun to watch. I believe you have to pay to park across the street near Opera on a very hilly ground. Ladies be careful in the pumps. All in all it was fun because my friend had fun.

Great atmosphere and fun place to dance around late night! Excellent customer service and the bartenders go out of their way for you. A must try if you are in Midtown !

This place is laughably horrible. Picture a port-​a-​potty (impossibly small and reeks like a bucket of ass) with a wack dj trying to pass itself off as a hip NYC lounge. Doorman was a grade-​A tool in a wrinkled $ 3 shirt he clearly bought off the clearance rack at Ross, and forgot to iron. After shelling out $ 50, count it, $ 50 at the «door», we proceeded downstairs to a dungeon jam packed with top-​shelf douchebags and butt ugly chicks for one round of over-​priced drinks before turning around and sprinting out.
Honestly, 1 star is a reach. If a place ever deserved zero stars, this is it. Wow.

Wonderfully hidden on Cresent Ave in the middle of Midtown– great place to catch a drink on Monday’s or for something more low key on the weekends…

I ventured out to Koo Koo Room last weekend in search of a decent DJ and lounge scene. This spot is apparently co-​owned by Ace Amerson of MTV’s «Real World» fame (yeah, I don’t remember him either — nor would I recognize him in a 2-​man line-​up).
Atmosphere: Small-​ish basement bar and lounge with exposed brick and unfinished, blacked-​out ceiling. Comfortable couches and roped-​off VIP areas surround the small space to give it that high end touch. $ 20 dollars at the door even though I was accompanied by 4 (count them 1, 2, 3, 4) attractive woman was almost too much. But Hey, you don’t roll with 4 attractive woman on any given night if you’re the kind of guy that’s going to openly make a fuss with a door guy over $ 100. I paid the hefty door fee and proceeded down the narrow set of stairs (a little put off).
Music: Some downtempo, jazz-​infused beats that turned into mostly house, then later popular hip hop. I would have preferred it to stay downtempo and «lounge-​y», but figure the DJ was simply playing to the crowd.
Drink: Drinks were as expected, typical vodka/​sodas, bourbon/​gingers, were ordered by me and my guests. It seemed after I tipped the bartender generously after the first round, the next round came a little stronger. Bonus.
Service: Spotty, even as a generous tipper. It was typical to wait 5 to 10 minutes after our drinks were empty to get another round — and this was even with a spot front and center at the bar.
This lounge may charge too much and offer too little — consider $ 20 for parking, another $ 80 dollars at the door for a party of 4 and then $ 40 or so dollars for a round of drinks. After a few hours and 4 – 5 drinks, you’ve spent $ 300 to $ 400 bucks to essentially party in a basement.

I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER Recommend this place! You can get hit, you can get raped, you can get killed at this place and nobody, i mean Nobody, not a security guy or Manager will care about it !!!

Ok so, I came across this place after leaving Sutra nxt door, due to lack of ppl. It was a Tuesday night. The bouncers told my fiancé and I that THIS is the spot on Tuesdays, so we thought, why not?
It was round midnight and the place was semi crowded. This does not take much because it is a small venue. It is truly lounge because their isn’t much room for a dancefloor. Mostly couches/​VIP sections and a bar to look cool at. I was digging the décor and the DJ played house/​techno for the first 1hr it seemed. He later switched it to hip hop/R&B and I was thankful! Ppl really started really come in and before I knew it, the place was packed. The crowd was good-​lookin for the most part. Many of the females seemed conceited but hey that’s ATL for ya…
I wouldn’t mind getting a VIP section here one night, because that’s where the most room and fun seemed to be happening.

OK so the word «small» is an understatement. It’s a tiny basement room… that’s it…
My friend and I only went in because they bouncer told us it was free and to check it out — I’m guessing they dont make girls pay to get in or it was a ladies night. This place is definitely not worth ANY kind of cover. You walk downstairs into a tiny little dark basement with faint neon lights and cheesy euro-​house music. I walked in — stayed for 10 minutes and was done.
The crowd was full of creepy old men and when my friend and i went in — we were basically the only ladies in there. I felt like the whole room was staring at me like I was a piece of meat. Also, I dont know what that other guy was saying but there is NO dancefloor.
I have to be fair here and say that i’ve only been once and was only in there for 10 minutes (if that). it may not always be that bad — But that one time has turned me off from it forever.

I had been hearing about Koo Koo Room, but honestly, as many times as I’ve been on Crescent Ave on a Friday or Saturday night, didn’t even know this place was right there off the street, down in a dungeon!
However, I finally figured it out, upon being invited to a birthday party here on a Friday night. I had a great time, although it’s not a place for a «clubber», it’s more of a lounge I’d say. We had a VIP section, so we had plenty of room and drinks flowing to keep the party alive.
The music was good, however, the space is pretty small. I’d definitely come back, but am more likely to do so before heading to one of the other night spots on the street.

First off let me say that I generally don’t go to places in Atlanta that require lists, password, or a phone number to get in (Prohibition, Koo Koo, The Warren). We are Atlanta… not Miami at Wall, LIV, or the Florida Room at the Delano.
I was dragged by a few girls that were at a birthday party I was at. I already didn’t like the fact that they said they could get me in, but didn’t know about everybody else. Seriously?
I’ll have to give Koo Koo this though. The music was good. The drinks were good. It had a good vibe. They seem to have a lot of great DJ’s come through (which is great if that’s your thing). I wouldn’t hesitate to go back, but wouldn’t really make it my plan for the night.
I think I’d have to come visit during the week to see what the vibe is like then. It’s right next door to flip flops.

Ok so granted this was one of the first few nights the place was open, but the AC was broken, and it is underground (specifically under Flip Flops). Hi its the south, do not have people come in to a place with no AC… also the bartenders seemed a bit stretched/​confused.
There may need to be opening kinks that need to be worked out, and if they can figure it out then it might be worth a round 2, but honestly they need a few weeks to figure it out.
The actual set up is decent it is a small area, it could turn into something. They were also weird about letting guys in, which honestly is kind of lame if you are a girl, you end up with a bunch of creepy old club men, with 70% women, awesome.
