BJ Roosters

BJ Roosters has been a fixture of Atlanta's gay nightlife since 1995, a lively, industrial-chic bar on Cheshire Bridge Road, right next door to The Heretic. The main draw is the hot go-go dancers who work the bar every night, twinks and muscle guys alike, dancing to a solid DJ soundtrack of great music, while back rooms offer pool tables, darts and more eye candy on the TVs, plus VIP rooms for something extra. Casual, unpretentious and a little seedy in the best way, it's a low-key spot for a stiff drink and some scenery without the bigger price tag of the flashier clubs, drawing a genuinely mixed gay crowd of regulars and first-timers. Open all seven nights with no cover most of the week, it's a classic, no-frills stop on any Cheshire Bridge bar crawl.
