Oscar's Bar

Mixx Atlanta combines a proper dance floor and stage with enough lounge and patio space to actually talk between songs. Music and programming vary through the week, with karaoke, themed nights, DJs and performances attracting a diverse LGBTQ+ crowd rather than one narrowly defined scene. Location is a big advantage: Mixx shares the 1492 Piedmont Avenue complex with Atlanta Eagle, while Felix's and Oscar's are just a short walk away. That makes this one of the easiest parts of Atlanta for hopping between different gay venues without repeatedly calling a rideshare. GayMapper tip: Mixx works especially well when you want dancing but aren't necessarily looking for the full-on club atmosphere of Heretic.
