Tongue & Groove gets #1 because it delivers the strongest all-around Latin nightclub experience of our Top 3. Sanctuary is stronger for serious Latin dancing, while Havana can deliver the bigger crossover-club spectacle. Tongue & Groove sits between those worlds. You get Latin music, a legitimate dance floor, upscale Atlanta nightlife and enough musical range to keep a group together all night. Tongue & Groove gives you Latin nightlife without giving up the big Atlanta club experience.

This is the choice when the group wants to dress up, dance, order bottles and spend the night in a polished room rather than a neighborhood Latin bar. Depending on the night, the music can move from salsa and bachata into merengue, reggaeton and crossover records. That versatility matters for mixed groups too. You don't necessarily need everybody in your party to be a serious salsa dancer to have a good night here.

Just don't confuse upscale with casual. Take the dress code seriously and come ready for Buckhead. BlkTravel would choose Tongue & Groove for: upscale Latin nightlife, dancing, reggaeton, salsa, VIP tables, birthdays, mixed groups and a dress-up night in Buckhead.
