Appeals Denied - No Approval of Liquor Licenses  Quietly the city of Brookhaven and several clubs we love have been battling in court. It stems from Brookhaven's decision to opt out of renewing the liquor license of several clubs once they expire in May including XS, Medusa and Josephine Lounge. We are told the days are numbered at these venues since there doesn't seem to be a clear path to restoring the ability to reapply since the city made the determination due to non payment of taxes.

There is a myriad of options that take you from tame to OMG in a matter of steps, but there are several things you should know: Atlanta Club Prices - let's get to the $$ first.

Now you gotta know most clubs don't let anyone in until 10:30pm almost 11pm with very few exceptions (regardless of what the operating hours claim). This means the line is CRAZY by 11:00pm and by the time you reach the door, the cover will have gone up exponentially. Also, cover goes up as the club gets busier or if a star shows up, which happens often in Atlanta.
