Block & Drum Review
Block & Drum combines cocktails, vinyl, DJs and community-driven programming to create an Atlanta bar experience where the music isn't background noise. It's part of the reason you came. Block & Drum is a bar, but calling it just a bar doesn't quite explain it. This is one of those Atlanta spaces where music, drinks and community run into each other. Vinyl matters here. DJs matter. Who is playing matters. The people in the room matter.
That's what makes it useful to BlkTravel. We're already sending travelers to nightclubs when they want the big night out and live music venues when they want a performance. Block & Drum occupies the space between them: have a drink, hear something good and be around people who actually care about the music. It's also the kind of place we'd recommend to someone who says, “I want to go somewhere cool, but I don't want to go to the club.” There you go.
BlkTravel would choose Block & Drum for: music lovers, vinyl heads, cocktails, creative dates, DJs, intimate social nights and travelers looking for Atlanta beyond the obvious nightlife circuit.

Block & Drum earns #6 because it brings culture to the bar ranking.
The drinks matter, but the identity is bigger than the drinks. Music programming and community give the experience a reason to exist beyond selling alcohol.
