Aisle 5

For the type of venue Aisle 5 is, you kinda can’t mess this up. Lol. It’s one space… a wide open floor (except for the chairs/​ledge on the side), a stage in the front, and a bar as well as bathrooms in the back. Come see one of your favorite musicians perform, get drunk, have a good time, go home… It is what it is. Lol. The sound is pretty good. As far as the size of the venue, I’d say it has a good 300 person capacity. So if you’re an artist with a loyal following around that number, this is a good place for a show. Parking spaces are on the backside and the night I went (a Monday), it was only $ 3. The bartenders were cool, fast, and efficient. I enjoyed myself.

Aisle 5 is a great venue in Little 5 Points! I’ve been a handful of times for Friday and Saturday night shows and have never been disappointed. The staff is always helpful and for a smaller venue it is pretty well organized.

Acoustics great and location is ideal but not sure what they are doing with a handful of chairs and tables. We got there early sat down fortunately because it got crowded hours later. We are shoved up against the wall so you couldn’t see once they started playing. Most venues have seating up on risers on sides or in back not that close to stage. If your young and enjoy standing for 4 to 5 hours then this is a great venue but if not wait till they play somewhere else with seating. Little 5 points is great and I’m sure this place is still new and will fix this

This place just keeps getting better and better. Ever since its opening last year, Aisle 5 continues upping the ante. The sound system is great and the awesome lighting adds to the vibes. The friendly staff and quick bar service at Aisle 5 are a huge plus. A great place to go with friends.
I love the character of the place, from the slate-​topped bar to the brick-​exposed walls to the cool wall lighting to the stained concrete floor. As you enter into the venue space from the front, you’ll notice an interesting wall on the left that frames the stage. Is it my imagination, or is the wall shaped like a 5? Clever.
Aisle 5 is a great addition to L5P and the city of Atlanta. Great place for music lovers. I’ve been there several times and always enjoyed the experience.

Is this place even open any longer? No phone # on website, Sent e-​mail inquiring about ticket availability for upcoming show. No response. Website says box office open daily noon to 5. Drove down today (40 miles one way), arrived at 1:00. No one home. If they are still even open, I hope the venue is better than the management. Quite a colossal disappointment thus far.

Of course I was shocked to see the major difference in the venue.
I remember Five Spot was a smaller venue, but walking in to see the big transformation made me appreciate the vibes the rest of the night.
The lighting is great, the sound system is good and they have the bar.
I can honestly say, this is a major come up for Aisle 5 (formerly known 5 Spot)
I gave 4 stars because I didn’t go to the bar to see how their workers responded to customers.
Yes, you will be paying for parking $ 7.

A great local music venue that’s been missing since Smith’s Olde Bar lost its mojo. Fantastic lights and sound, open space and they are clearly putting up the money to get good bands. The venue itself and the bar are nothing special, but I hope it succeeds and will be back to support the venue.

Came to Aisle 5 for the first time to see Verite play. Located in Little 5 Points this new music venue is a breath of fresh air. The inside is fairly small which creates an intimate experience. Bar is located at the back along with the bathrooms (which are super clean). A few tables and bar stools line the side of standing isn’t your thing and you just want to have a drink, talk, and enjoy the show. Very impressed with my visit here, and I will hopefully be back very soon!

At long last Atlanta, we have a venue that does the east side justice. I hadn’t been to this place since it used to be the Five Spot and was absolutely blown away by the transformation the new owners have done to the venue. Upon entering, it’s clear that they went above and beyond with the renovation. The inside has been completely overhauled to include a new stage, sound system, lighting set-​up, and bar. As a music lover, I really appreciate the thought and effort that went into this new layout. The stage has been re-​positioned in such a way that the entire venue is front and center. Acoustically, this provides the place with unbelievably good sound. Throughout the evening, whether I was hanging back by the bar or near the front dancing with my date, the sound was absolutely impeccable (extremely clean, no reverb). Also, in regards to the aesthetics, it’s just beautiful on the inside. The exposed brick wall, raised ceilings, and high glossed floors really make this place feel modern but with a tasteful nod to the turn-​of-​the-​century building it resides in.
As far as the vibe at Aisle 5, they’re offering something really unique and cool to our City. It’s intimate enough to where you can talk to your friends and meet new ones, but large enough to get a good sized party going. Furthermore, after talking with one of the owners about the artists they’re currently booking, 2015 sounds like it’s going to be an awesome year for this place. Keep your eyes peeled for the announcements on upcoming acts, they’re impressive. Also, one of the other details worth discussing is the new bar that they’ve installed. It fits perfectly with the style of the venue with custom cut stone pieces laid intricately into the bar top and sealed with a clear coat (very handsome). Furthermore, the beer selection appears to be hand-​picked to ensure that they have a very thoughtful and balanced collection of high quality offerings (as far as liquor, they offer top shelf if you so desire. I enjoyed their take on an Old Fashioned with a hearty pour of Bulleit).
Finally, all the employees I interacted with from bartenders to bouncers were genuinely friendly and happy to be there. For me, this was the icing on the cake. I feel that Atlanta has found itself blessed with a beautifully recreated venue in one of our most historic and vibrant neighborhoods. Highly recommended.

Great new music venue with excellent service. When I go to a bar where beer is cheap and music is good, I just want some basics. No rude bouncers, quick bar service and relative cleanliness. This spot hit it right on target.
Service was great, despite being busy on a Friday Halloween night, I loved not having to wait a long time for a drink. The bartenders would always acknowledge my presence and I’d be served within a minute or two at most. Love it.
They have decent vodkas like Tito’s and Ketel. Shots would be around 6 bucks a piece, which is a bit pricey compared to other places in town and knowing that I am about to drink it out of a paper shot glass. They need to bring down the price point a bit. However, vodka was chilled properly and bartenders were spot on.
The guys at the entrance were also pretty cool, so I’d come back here without hesitation to see a DJ or show.
