Gay Atlanta
- Midtown is the home of the best of Gay Atlanta. The area went from being a dilapidated slum in the ’70s and ’80s to becoming the city’s top gay neighbourhood.
- From those roots, today, it stands as arguably the premier neighbourhood in all of Atlanta, with sky-rise condos and office towers, miles of chic places to shop and eat, and an unrivaled nightlife scene. And we haven’t even gotten to Piedmont Park, which hosts every major festival Atlanta offers, including the Atlanta Pride Festival, Music Midtown, and the Atlanta Dogwood Festival.
- The park recently underwent a breathtaking expansion, with serene trails alongside the Atlanta Botanical Garden and connecting with the BeltLine.

Winter Beef Ball Atlanta Facebook
The Atlanta gay population lives, works and plays all over the city and even into the suburbs. Midtown has several of the city’s most popular gay bars like Blake’s, Burkhart’s Pub, Bulldogs and Swinging Richards. The Atlanta LBGT populace is also partially responsible for the resurgence of Grant Park in the 1980s. The historic neighborhood was falling into ruins when members of the community started scooping up properties, renovating and restoring them to their original glory. This fever pitch trickled over into the neighborhoods of East Atlanta, Ormewood Park and the Old Fourth Ward. These are all eclectic, funky and tolerant neighborhoods, like most of Atlanta.
