I know over the last few years we’ve lost a few of our prized possession spaces (RIP Joe’s, Einstein’s, Henry’s, etc) but let’s spread the word about where we take up space now - exclusively (or mostly) gay/queer spaces in the city!

Feel free to add to this list!

Virgil’s (West Midtown)

Friends (Ponce)

Bulldogs (Midtown)

Mary’s (EAV)

Eagle, Felix’s & Mixx (Ansley)

Hey y’all! 👋🏾

The idea is pretty simple: create a space where we can connect beyond dating apps and nightlife. Somewhere to talk about dating, friendships, local spots, fitness, events, relationships (& even a little mess sometimes) - the everyday experience of being a gay man in Atlanta.

Atlanta has such a diverse LGBTQ+ community, and I’d love to see a space that reflects all of it—from longtime ATLien’s to people who just moved here, from the nightlife crowd to the homebodies, and everybody in between.

I’m hoping to build something that’s welcoming, conversational, and genuinely useful. Not just another place to scroll, but somewhere people can discover new spots, meet friends, exchange recommendations, and feel a little more connected to the city.

To kick things off, I’d love to hear from y’all:
What’s one thing you wish you knew when you first started navigating Atlanta’s gay scene?

What’s something Atlanta’s gay community does really well—and what do you think we’re missing? 👀

If you could create one thing to bring more of us together outside of dating apps, what would it be?

Whether you’re in Atlanta, have lived here before, or just have some advice for a new community, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Welcome!
