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.

Went there for a friend/co workers birthday meet up, we saw a drag show which was really cool and entertaining.I've been here a few times but it's most definitely a place I'd like to visit more often. The crowd was very mixed which i enjoyed.It was straight ppl,lesbian and gays there. I loved the variety of crowd. If your looking for a good time go see The Stars of the century on a monday night. Only problem was there was no food and we really needed food especially with the $18 drinks,they were good and strong though.

Review from Google Maps

While I don't think they serve food. They do serve refreshing adult beverages. They are well organized for events and the Beyoncé Dance Party was a huge success. The crowd was there to dance till 3am. Glad to see everyone having fun in a safe loving atmosphere.

I came here Friday for Juneteenth and had an absolute ball. Customer service from the bar was fantastic from everyone EXCEPT the big, bald, older white bartender who was extremely unwelcoming and rude. I’ve never had security called on me in my life, and when the security came they were equally confused as to why they were alerted. I simply asked for the bill and got security called. I know it makes zero sense, imagine how I felt in the situation. Anyway I was still able to enjoy myself and the other bartenders took great care of me after the situation

I recommend this club/bar! The vibe is a bit darker, yet entertaining. There are several areas for you to enjoy yourself. They have a good dance floor and always playing good music. I have not gone on a country night but I’m sure it’s fun. I recommend bartender Westley! He is really nice and knows how to make a great drink! They even have after hours parties once in a while. I was just visiting and I came a few times and had a blast!!

Always a vibe everyday they're open! They have great customer service and shows love and respect to all. Mondays there's a drag show with a cast that has been together for over 27 years with true professionals.
