I randomly discovered the Red Light Cafe 25+ years ago. And what a discovery it has proven to be. Equal parts haven for a space of performance and heaven for a place of ambience. Some places claim to have a “vibe” but don’t. The Red Light very much vibes for any tribe, troupe, or troubadour that comes through its door. The space is “just right” for having an intimate experience with the vast variety of musicians, magicians, cabaret, comedy, you name it. Grab some of its pub and grub fare while there. They pair well with the entertainment… Through and through, it’s quirky, quaint, and quite the venue to go to. RLC is truly an Atlanta treasure!

Best place to see locally produced events by performing artists. Cool cocktails and mocktails, plenty of free parking. This cozy venue has a full calendar every month of live music, variety shows, burlesque shows and cultural curiosities like belly dance.

Anyone who enjoys listening to the jazz would love coming here. Great place for a college spot bore for a nice seat activity.You don't need to be there the whole time you can even come in later.The drinks are okay.I'm not gonna lie if you like a little water down.But I enjoyed the atmosphere

I had an amazing experience at Red Light Café! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the music and artists are absolutely perfect. During my 40 days in Atlanta, I went there three times, including on my very last night in the city, because I couldn’t leave without enjoying one more wonderful experience. In Brazil, I haven’t found anything as charming to do on a Wednesday night. The only thing I would suggest is improving the quality of the wines, but everything else was truly fantastic.

Had a blast at this place. For NYE. Their event was lively and diverse. I'd not been previously and admit that I was a bit skeptical when we pulled up. We had VIP seating, but there wasn't a bad seat in the house. From the moment we walked in, the MC took to the mic and rev'd up the crowd. The performances were great and energetic, the aerial performance was really cool. We would return to this place. Don't be fooled, they put on a good event.
