Some worth mentioning:

[*]Midtown - Bazaar Urban Bar (lounge),
Halo Lounge
[*]Downtown - Trader Vics (Polynesian-themed bar).

Oh, and to get loopy for just $5, enjoy the tasty, "free" beer at
Atlanta Brewing Company every Friday at 5PM, then stumble over to Rocky Mountain Pizza. Both are hits with the students at Georgia Tech.
