Atlanta Underground is a great place to go. During the day, the place is a mall. It has all kinds of shops, and I love going there. It is a very cool and neat place to go. They have all types of stores and that's why I go there. At night, this whole area becomes one party place. It's all bars and clubs then, and on Sundays, you can even get an alcoholic drink at 4am! But beware, at night, there is also a lot of cons going on, solicitors (for a good word), and thieves. But that comes with a place like this. I recommend Atlanta Underground.

I think everyone who lives in or visits Atlanta should see Underground Atlanta at least once, but I don't think it lives up to its potential. The historic architecture is wonderful but not really emphasized. To me, the shops and vendors are not much more exciting than any at the mall. Due to some loophole, the bars are allowed to serve alcohol until 4 a.m., much later than most places in the city. While it's neat to walk under Atlanta, I think this could be so much more.

Underground Atlanta has a plethora of shopping establishments just waiting for an eager consumer to come and indulge. How many is a plethora? How about over 130 shops, boutiques, and stores!
Located at Five Points, the site of the railway station that gave the city its less romantic name of Terminus. Gone with the Wind buffs will recognize it from where the trains disgorge hundreds of wounded soldiers as Scarlett O'Hara comes seeking a doctor to birth Melanie Wilkes baby.
The World of Coca-Cola is located adjacent to Underground Atlanta. The three story museum of Coke and Coke related products at the World of Coca-cola houses videos, and 100's of exhibits. There are souvenirs and free samples of Coke and other soft drinks the CocaCola Bottling Plant makes for other countries around the world. (Some of these rather "interesting" concoctions aren't pleasant) Its one of the very few places where people are paying money to be bombarded with advertisements.
There is plenty to do and see here at Underground. It is also the site of the annual "Peach Drop" at New Years Eve. It is Atlanta's largest one time gathering with crowds estimated as large as 350,000 people. The Peach drops from its perch atop Underground's 138-foot light tower. But basically its the shops, eateries, and sidewalk interests that keeps shoppers everywhere coming back for more.
Basically, in a nutshell, Underground is located on 12 acres of land, and is a $142 million nightclub and shopping center. There are over a dozen nightclubs here, so after a busy day of shopping and the stores close, you can party at a variety of establishments. The Best Part? Admission is free, and Atlanta's bus system MARTA goes directly to Underground at the 5 Points Station.
Pros: lots of things to see and do
Cons: crowded, busy, prone to trouble during holidays

I really liked Underground Atlanta. The first time I went there, I was so surprised. Too bad all the shops were closed when I went. I can’t speak for the shops but the place is very nice, especially the downtown rocks concert by 99x. People should definitely check it out.
