So the Clermont is an interesting place. I have been here a few times because my coworker who lives in the ATL loves it. As many have said, it is a classic dive bar with a twist. I have seen some pretty interesting things here but hey that's why the clermont is the clermont. I wouldn't call it a strip club but it does go on. There is usually good music playing and it has an eclectic crowd that attends. They say that it is an Atlanta institution and I agree.
Couple of tips: Bring cash as you will need it for cover and drinks. The ATM inside charges a hefty service fee.
Experience it at least once.
