JoeATL - When was this? What did the ticket say?
I’m sorry that happened to you, man.

Anytime, gang! It is my duty to report back.
GoldmongerATL - There are only two VIP rooms available at the moment and two more are planned to be built right next to the other two on the main floor. VIP rooms downstairs are closed for renovations. This is information directly from the manager. No issue with privacy - there are curtains and I’ve had no issues. I went to VIP there last week, yesterday and today. I always take care of the manager that looks after the VIP rooms and he leaves me alone and keeps others from peeking. It’s not like Follies where you had people walking into the room with no warning at times.
Jurassicman070320 - anytime, dude! Definitely check it out.
Pro tip: Park on the road at the side of the club (legal parking) and you won’t have to pay $20 to the valet. There are these nice townhomes down that road with plenty of parking. It does get packed and it could take a bit to find parking during the peak of day shift.

I also spoke to the manager that I knew from Follies at Platinum and he said that they are trying to appeal the decision with the city but the courts are closed, which is ultimately what is delaying everything right now. In the meantime, stop by Platinum if you miss Follies day shift. You will not be disappointed.

Gang - just went to platinum today during day shift around 5p. Literally a follies vibe. Two of the Follies managers were running the place and about 50 girls (majority from follies). The place was packed. Went to VIP for the standard $50 for the room and whatever you negotiate with the chick. Sparky was there managing the men’s restroom (also from follies). Will be back tomorrow.

Nothing yet. No chatter on social media either. Keeping my fingers crossed. I have faith that these guys will open. At the end of the day, they have a contract/agreement with the city to operate there until 2022. That should ultimately hold up in court and allow them to reopen.

@Brehnamedwavey - thanks for the feeeback. I’ll try them out. The last few times I went there and asked about VIP, the girls were quick to say it’s only dances this isn’t Follies. So I didn’t even both going into any detail about VIP. I’ll give it another go and ask about this Diamond chick.
Man I was in love with the Follies day shift.

So anywhere else I can go in Atlanta where I can get mileage like Follies in VIP?

So I learned that Follies’ license has been pulled by the city. They thought they were going to win the appeal to open up on July 1st but lost. Now they have to wait at least 14 days before they can appeal again. Their closure is not COVID related. They are legally can’t open right now.
Not looking good for them.

Heard from a person that works there that it’s July 1st unless it gets pushed. Fingers crossed.
