i love that the priority at eddie's is the music. they do everything in their power to make it the best environment for listening to the world's best acoustic music. people who don't want to be cramped or told to not talk loud or told to turn off their cell phones, etc should not go - if you are looking for an upscale bar experience, don't go. if you want to go somewhere to meet people or catch up with friends and have some good music in the background, don't go. if you are looking for a funky hole in the wall, with plenty of character, to actually listen to good music without a bunch of distractions, you should check it out. the servers and owners are going to defend the environment first and serve the customer second, so don't expect anything different. if that bothers you - perfect, don't go, those of us that enjoy this place don't want you there.
Pros: it's all about the music baby
Cons: sometimes draws customers who don't understand the pros

Eddie's Attic is my favorite venue in the metro area, mainly because it's so intimate. If you enjoy live acoustic music then this is the place to go. I have discovered a lot of good artists at Eddie's. It's really small so get there early if you don't have a table reserved and so you can snag a seat in the "bleachers". There is not a bad seat in the house and if you get a table you can literally be three inches away from the performer. However, if you are the type of person who needs lots of personal space or loves to talk incessantly during sets Eddie's Attic may not be the place for you as talking is heavily discouraged and it can get cramped during sold-out shows.
Pros: Up close and personal
Cons: Up close and personal

We've been going to Eddie's Attic for several years now and have never had a bad experience. The food is always fresh and flavorful - it's pretty typical bar food, but well prepared, obviously by someone who knows what they're doing. And the music is always spot on. It's a great room to see a singer/songwriter in a more personal setting.
Pros: delicious sweet fries, perfectly cooked burgers, strong drinks
Cons: Room can be crowded, but it's worth it.

I have been to Eddies many times, but will not go back. I recently purchased tickets online, received a confirmation number, and my credit card was billed. I received an email one week before the show noting that they had increase the price of the tickets ($10 to $25) and they were going to refund my card. They said I could repurchase them if I would like.
I had adjusted my schedule to make this show and was disappointed and confused on how they could do this. I call and requested to speak to the owner and was told he was busy at the moment and he could call me back as soon as he had a moment. I never received a call.
EA books great musicians but out of principle I cannot support them at this venue.
Pros: Good music and sound
Cons: Customer Service BOOOOO

Eddie's Attic is a great place to listen to some of the best live music in the country. They have a plenty of well known, as well as up and comming artists most nights of the week. The menu is really good and having a cold one on the rooftop grill is enjoyable and relaxing.
Pros: Great menu
Cons: Limited menu

This place is by far the worst place I have ever dined in my life. The small place was packed and there were only 2 waiters on the floor. When my friends and I finally got a server we ordered our food (after they told us the kitchen was closed and then proceeded to tell us the kitchen was back open) and mine came out incorrectly. I told my server and he looked extremely mad that he had to send it back. He came back to the table and tried to place blame on me that my food was wrong. He then slams my ginger ale on the table and says "heres your ginger ale, I hope you enjoy it". Thinking that was an odd thing for him to say I look in my drink and there was a huge ball of mucus floating on top. I then went out to the front to advise the manager on duty, who happened to be the founder, Eddie. He proceeded to tell me that he was on the waiters side and that he wasnt going to waste his time arguing with me. He THEN told me I needed to leave if I had a problem with one of his servers. He could not explain what the mucus was, he got very close to my face and put his hands on me. I could smell the whisky on his breath and he was completely rude and disrespectful. I got kicked out (by the founder) because my server put his bodily fluid in my drink. I caused no problems and they treated me like I was a raging crazy woman. I was drinking ginger ale for goodness sake. Worst time of my life.
Pros: Nothing at all
Cons: Dont give a _____ about their guests

We bought tickets for a show that out of town guests wanted to see. Arrived to find ourselves crammed into an incredibly small space, complete with chairs that I imagine were bought from a VFW yard sale 20 years ago. Myriad rules involved in the listening room dictates patrons behaviour there, but doesn't stop the back door from opening and closing every few seconds, allowing the smoke and noise from the adjoining room to pollute the environment. Service was terrible, even considering the fact that Atlanta (and Decatur particularly) sets a very low bar for service. But when I've paid nearly $100 for tickets to a show, should I also have to wait 17 minutes (I clocked it on my watch) for a bartender to take our order after the concert, despite the fact that there were only 5 other people there?
I've lived across the globe, and I respect that Eddie's Attic resided in the same zip code as the Indigo Girls and John Mayer--and thus like to take credit for their success. But I've never seen such an awful music venue in my life, where literally everything seems to be falling apart. I half expected my foot to go through a floorboard at any moment. The owners of this establishment should be ashamed.
Pros: ????

My girlfriend and I went to the Open Mic night and had a great time. The bar is a little... well rundown to be honest, but most of the the performers were pretty good and several were great. If you are looking for something different to do, and like live music you should check it out.
Pros: Great music, local talent
Cons: a little rundown
