About The Heretic

The Heretic is one of Atlanta’s enduring gay clubs, best known for muscular dance music, major guest DJs and a strong connection to the city’s leather scene. Its multi-room, slightly maze-like layout gives the night room to breathe, while the back deck is a useful reset between busy sets. The calendar also stretches beyond circuit-style parties, with drag, country dancing and community nights appearing in the mix. Go when the event matches your music taste and expect the main dance floor to do the heavy lifting.

What to expect

A large, event-led gay club with serious sound, a strong leather following and nights ranging from drag and country to full dance parties.
