I was visiting Atlanta about 3 years ago and went to Burkharts but there was nobody there on a Saturday night. Then a few weekends ago I was visiting some friends who said we had to go to Burkharts on a Saturday night--I was like Are you sure? When we got there, there was a line out the door. Your new host was hysterical and we all had so much fun. Glad to see you turn it around.

We walked into the bar and was suprised to see so many people, we had no idea that there was a drag show going on, we went upstairs to get a drink, and see the layout of the bar. It was pretty interesing to see the bathrooms on the second floor, and i was also outside. we were unable to enjoy the patio area, but the drinks I thought were resonably priced. We then had to stand on the stairs to see the drag show, which I thought was pretty entertaining. Be careful not to stand against the wall on the stairs, someone might accidently kick a drink glass down onto you. There was not much room to dance, but if you are persisant enough you can make room. The people seemed to be nice, and there was not alot of attitdude.

That woman complaining about the doorman probably did not have an ID, besides she would have freaked out about the nasty womens room. Anyways, talk about fun!! My friends and I got together there a few weekends ago and had a blast!! I had to come back to get my car the next day. (It was actually safe in the lot). I would recommend the place to anybody white black gay straight male female because for the money (no cover, free parking, CHEAP good food) you can't beat it in Atlanta. The place is so cool, the layout has obviously had a good deal of thought put into it. We go to Blakes from time to time to see Kitty buy honestly that blimp drag queen Ruby Red is mad at her own mama....downer, anyhow, Burkharts is cool and so are the guys that hang there.

Some of our community was just in Burkharts on Sunday, a few ladies and a few gentlemen, no-one gave us any problems like stated in a review on this page. This is mostly a gentlemen's gay club, but women are not treated badly.

Burkhart's is a really fun place with little attitude. BUT there's a serious problem when you have a doorman who blatantly discriminates against women. I am shocked that a gay bar employs a doorman who would be insensitive about selective admittance based on an objective thing like gender. To top that, his high and mighty attitude left me feeling completely unwelcome. I don't think I'll be back and I'll be sure to share my negative experience with my many gay and lesbian friends. I am truly saddened by the lack of caring in a time when Atlanta's city government seems to be pressuring so many gay establishments to close. I wish Burkhart's the best, but I cannot return until I'm confident that they have ended their discriminatory ways.
