More Dive Bar Than Anything Else

I was staying in the area so I wandered over to Clermont Lounge because I had heard it was a legendary Atlanta dive. With old lady dancers crushing beer cans on their tits. It was…fine

It’s located in the basement of a hotel in a gentrifying part of Atlanta. You pay a $10 cover at a box office where they explain there’s a strictly no smoking and no photos policy and then enter

I got there at about 9:30 on a Tuesday and it was very quiet. Think empty stage, 4 patrons, a DJ, a dancer in a mask to the side, and a bartender (the hottest one there all night - shout out “Fi/Fee”)
