Reviews of Compound (Night Club)

Nadia Latimore

Had a great time visiting Atl and Compound was definitely the spot to check out, crazy packed so get there early!

Renee Thomas

Giving them 1 star is honestly too generous!! Although the club is nice and the dj was good the staff and security made my experience negative!! The security guards are rude af they was holding the line and then when we get to the front the girl taking the money tells us they dont take eventbrite tickets and we had to pay to get in

Christian Mendez

DO NOT GET ADVANCED TICKETS! This was the worse experience I've ever had at Compound! The security was rude and the police didn't make it any better. I felt like no matter what order I adhered to was wrong. They held the line for 2hours then closed it when folks got to the front. Even after telling them that tickets were purchased in advance, didn't make it any better. Take my advice and stay away!

Jacinta Callaway

Would do zero stars but that's not an option. Stood in line an hour in the cold and still did not get in. Disappointing especially since we heard good things about this club. Never again.

Larry Hudson

$20 for cover is ridiculous, if I’m gonna pay $20 for cover it’s gonna be to get into a strip club

Alexandria Bryan

Hot mess!!! My friends and I have been trying to book a section for my birthday (since we’re coming from outta town) for about two weeks now! This girl answers the phone and is very short and told my gf she was going to send paperwork via email to confirm the section. Needless to say, HOMEGIRL NEVER SENT THE DAMN EMAIL. So I call and say , “What’s the issue? Like if y’all don’t want the money i’ll take it to another club because this is ridiculous. If you can’t multi-task then someone else should be handling VIP SECTIONS!” She got all quiet...

Michelle Turner

I went to Compound, for a special event and the only reason I would go. It appears regardless of what night it is, they like to hold the line. I gather this because I have friends on the outside saying the line is long, while me on the inside is looking at tons of space to let people in. The place is huge with an outdoor and indoor section which is really cool. They have a bunch of bars all over the place. The bathroom is large so even with it being crowded I got a stall quickly. Parking in the area sucks. They block off adjacent streets and charge people to park on the street. Yea. That. Happens. Its a club, your experience will vary on the night.

Ricki McFarland

Never thought I'd see the day that this club would lose it's appeal. I have been going to this club for major events for the past 11 years strong. The last 3x's (most recently BET Hip Hop Award Weekend) the advertised artist DID NOT SHOW UP. The entire back portion of the club was closed off and the club was still not packed. That is saying a lot. It is obvious that Alex is focused on other things and not the Compound. I unfortunately will never go again.

Jasmine Littlejohn

Is there a promoter who also works there name Micah?

Sharday M

I did not like the Compound. I had a VIP table, but it felt like it was the first time they've ever set up a VIP area. There was nothing separating the crowd from the table so our bottles kept getting knocked over. It was a pretty amateur setup and definitely not worth the money. I don't plan on going back; it's not worth the headache.

Hardy Cherenfant

Large space, they had two DJs. The entire city could come out here!

shareet moore

Was a lil cold inside but I like how the new setup is.

DARTANYAN KIRKENDOLL

Place was lit! Came from out of town and it was some of the most fun I’ve had.

Nev Nevitt

First time going. I been living in Atl for almost 20 years and when I say the club scene has really change, its terrible I usually go to international clubs because ppl there, sometimes dance and guys come up to u like men. But here lol the men are acting like women. It’s overly hood makes me miss the hip hop clubs in buck head. Sneakers and heels and fashion nova is all I see no one is original, but I guess that is the new norm, everybody want to be famous nobody dance just really packed with ppl standing around and the music is tasteless but it’s not their fault I guess, they only playing what’s on the radio

Sasha Whyte

Very fun time. Beautiful place. Crowd is friendly and knows how to have a good time.

Nitta Davis

THEY TOOK MONEY FROM MY FRIENDS...AS WE WERE ABOUT TO PAY TO GET IN...THEY STOP TAKING MONEY... SO MY FRIENDS NEVER STEPPED FOOT IN THE CLUB....AND THEY WOULD NOT GIVE THEM A REFUND..WE HEARD SO MANY GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS CLUB....AND TO BE FROM OUT OF TOWN WE WERE TREATED POORLY AND DISRESPECTED.....

Victoria Edwards

Fun but exspensive

Ayzhanah Sewell

I went late at like 2:30am on Saturday night I was surprised it was actually really beautiful and the vibe was nice. I came for only 30 minutes. They play typical Atlanta popular music ... you may get a mix in there but it seems a lot of Natives are here. I Definitely would go again. However there is a $20 cover .. It could definitely be cheaper . Especially since it’s not like it’s some type of all star service. But overall I enjoyed myself and it is worth a try for visitors .

starceya johnson

Compound is overrated clearly,they lie and say famous people coming so people can come,tonight they said trey songs was going to be there,he was not there,the dj kept saying he on the other side so that people can pay more money,they over charge,make u stand outside too long to get in seems like the line never moves,I want go back

Pamela Bardouille

I had a great time here. Loved the vibe of the crowd. The concept also amazing. The lines were very long. The did charge my friend more than the price he was given for a VIP table. That I did not like.

Sala Williams

Terrible experience. Advanced tickets mean nothing. Club was empty until 1230am. Security was rude. Woman was bodied slammed by police outside afterward. Straight ghetto.

Michele Danmusa

Place is legit so lame. The hype guy was repetitive and the music was horrible. How can you dance to trap music? I went here hoping to dance all night, but all the songs they played were songs that you rock to. The venue is nice but the crowd they attract and environment is so basic.

Chetta Coleman

HORRIBLE! Please don’t attend on a special event night. This is literally my fav club In ATL. But birthday bash 2019 was the worse ever. It was unorganized, the security guards were acting so broke. Only allowing people who gave them money to skip. Then you had promoters getting who they want out the line witch made it worse for the people who paid BIG MONEY. I bought a section and only sat in it for a hour because of how crazy it was last night me and my people got to the club at 1145 and didn’t get inside until literally 2 15 this by far was my worse experience down here and I go out and get sections all the time. The club owner needs to have a better and proper plan for special events & train those rude guards also.

India Kirkland

Overrated for an average vibe. But thats business everywhere. still nice place to hang CLUB. Krunk DJs and nice guys. Kinda worth your money especially for those who like glow and spend it

Lynetta Lewis

Nice Venue!!! After reading several reviews I see a lot of the same complaints about the RUDE BARTENDERS we also experienced the same treatment on last night!!! Will never return not spending my money with people that don't have no hospitality!!!

Tierra Bradford

I would give negative stars if I could! These people are unprofessional and THIEVES. So, my boyfriend and I decided to go out to celebrate my birthday and we choose this place(which we soon regretted). Plus it was my first time going out in ATL since I just moved here. We waited in a long line only for the police officer to turn to my boyfriend and tell him he had to pay $40 instead of $20 to get in because, WAIT FOR IT, he had on khaki shorts instead of jean shorts. We looked at him as if he was CRAZY and asked why? He then says he was out of dress code. You mean to tell me that it is mandatory to wear blue jean shorts to a club as apposed to khaki shorts? That is the dumbest thing I ever heard and I truly believe that they targeted my boyfriend because he looked nicer(Polo, expensive loafers) and decided to up charge him and humiliate him. Who does that? They obviously have no standards for their club! Someone puts in a little bit more effort and decides to dress up to come to your establishment and that is how you treat them? By charging them extra? PATHETIC. We will NOT be back and anyone who has ears and comes in contact with me will hear this story!

dedrah williams

I've been to this club twice and have loved it each time that I went. It's always an event and a great night here. New years eve was bananas!! I'd recommend everyone checking this spot out.

Teneka Stafford

DO NOT GO TO THIS CLUB! They charge way to much and the club is not clean at all. We got a section got charged a good amount of money and the service was awful. There were no lights in the womans restroom so we had to use our phone flashlight. I will NEVER go back!

Inez O.

Three stars for the lighting and overall look of the place. 3 stars because door lady almost made us pay 20$ each to get in regardless of RSVPing, rude bartenders, and same song's being played 4 times over the course of the night. Weird vibes. The bouncers I talked to were nice tho!

Hampton Virginia

compound is jumpin. the way it's set up is pretty unique and easily the best set up I've seen for a club. VIP is $20 for girls, $40 for guys. You will ALWAYS want to have that amount on you for VIP, because the regular line will never move. You will stand in that line until 2am. The drinks are limited. They have no real selection of beers. They got like 3 different beers and thats it. but the chicks and the scenery makes up for all of that.

Sherica Jackson

Modern atmosphere with the option of being inside or outside.

Kevin Terrell

Had a good time & that's saying alot because I never really go out. The section we had was pretty nice as well. I wouldn't mind stepping out here again in the future.

Mareicshka Bosley

Never made it inside saturday June 15th Birthday Bash 2019 long lines, cover was $300 each.

LaToya Thomas

Me and my girls went for our birthdays and it was not sophisticated enough for our taste. We thought u had to b dressed up and we saw people with sneakers on. We will NOT be going back

james Richardson

Good add time no problems

Alexandria M

Very easy going place. No fights and plenty off-duty presence....

J.Andray .L

The Club was packed with people and they had a nice View.

tommy bostick

This was the second time I was in Atlanta and went to The Compound and it was on point the Dj played hit after hit all night

Red Clay Fitness

Great place to party on a Saturday night. My friend and I had VIP and valet parking, so there was no waiting for us at all. The inside of the venue is really nice with plenty of seating, three bar areas, and adequate amount of dancing space. We truly enjoyed ourselves AND the hookah! I would definitely recommend and return to this establishment!

Shuntoria Walls

I really enjoyed myself!!! The club was nice inside and out

Ali Alam

Kid club if your over 25 stay away waist of time paid for the 40 for VIP to skip the line gets you nothing they charge $20 a drink for Hennessey and $50 for terrible hookah and no repack or coals and would not remake my hookah when I told them it was burned

safiya Campbell

Firstly, Fake hosts for advertisement, unprofessional staff they were rude and unfriendly in fact the nicest member of staff was the lady in toilets. The event listed was supposed to start 4pm but they made people wait 1h30 in the hot sun and didn't open until almost 6pm. The location is questionable however the food was okay. Too expensive for entry for the type of club the people that have unflavoured dress sense if you're looking for a GHETTO CLUB The compound is where its at!

Ang Tav

I traveled from Seattle Washington to come to ATL for the Super Bowl 2019 where do I start. first they sent out an email stating you can get into the venue for free as long as you sign up by a certain time then a couple days before the event they sent a email saying that you have to purchase tickets and the free tickets are not valid anymore which was fined so I went ahead and purchased a ticket. when we arrive they have three different lines one was for $50 for early bird special $100 for general admission and $200 to cut the line. I had to find that out for myself. there was about 200 to 300 people in each line the staff was not helpful at all so you did not know which line to go to when we arrive inside the club it was below zero the air-conditioner was on and you can blow smoke out of your mouth it was warmer outside than inside . when we went to the restroom the hot water did not work to wash your hands it was nothing but cold water working all night we talk to the bartender and they did tell us that it’s gonna be warm when more people start to come that’s why the air-conditioner was on. they did not have any top shelf liquor to purchase unless you bought a table The venue looks good really big online but they had all the general admission People that paid to skip the line and early bird special people all in one little box and outside on the patio area( what if it rained)then what. they advertise Carly B and Meek mills he did not come out till about 230 and Carly did not get there till 3:30 AM club was over at 4:00 AM I Was there when Meek Mills was performing you was not able to see him if you had general admission everyone in the VIP was standing up where it sounds like he was just playing from the DJ in order to see them you have to pay a additional $200 which they did not say anything about that before the actual pricing of the event this was the most terrible trip I ever had I have traveled all around to different places and I have never experienced something like this ever it was a waste of my money a waste of my time and I really did not like Altanta for my first time at all what I experience at that nightclub that night I left home the next day and did not want to stay for Super Bowl to enjoy the rest of the weekend. so unorganized from start to finished. AG Entertainment was terrible Bad experience

ivory moss

Great experience everytime. The venue is HUGE. Outside and inside space. There's 2 different Djs depending on which area you'd like to be in. There's bars everywhere so getting a drink is easy. Security is security but they're also very nice. The lines are ridiculously long, but for a place like this you should expect nothing less. It's always filled with celebrities on any given night. Compound is the place to be. I'm actually upset I'm missing tonight. #Migos #Culture #AblumReleaseParty

Shahidah Finklin

Loved it! Awesome atmosphere and the music was jumping!

Kelvin Watson

Everyone should read this simple review. Spent $300 to see Cardi B & Meek Mills perform on Saturday Superbowl weekend. Once I got there they said I had to spend another $200 for me an a guest to be in VIP to see them. So I never saw either of them, they announced they were there and they never spoke or performed. I feel scammed from all the marketing, scammed that I didnt get what I paid, for an scammed for all my time & money wasted. I will neva attend this club again.

S Y D N E Y

Visiting from out of town. It was a good experience, not upscale. But it was fine. Some ppl were in heels while others were in sneakers. It improved as the night went on.

Annice Callaway

Wasn’t feeling it ! Basically everyone feels the same way obviously . Your staff sucks ! The place looks terrible , the wait too long , only reason we got in good was bc we got there early enough to be in the front of the line ...all the money this place has and it looks the way it does ?? The bathrooms needs remodeling and the when you first walk in smelled like mildew decause the rain was dripping from the ceiling and yes it was wet when we first walked in and it was dam water puddles in front

CL F

nice club and good music

Jade Preston

You would think they would offer champagne by the glass for a special event like NYE, but the only had it by the bottle. I'm the only one in my group who drank, I wasn't going to drink a bottle to myself. DJ played a lot of old music

Family Reunion

Went there yesterday for a friends birthday. They double charged my card. We was in line for a least an 1 1/2 waiting to get in a empty club. The staff was rude asf. One of the security guards not mad because we was too loud in the line. Like really it’s club. The music was weak they played Bodak Yellow so many times I learned the words to the song. Stevie J was there he was cool the his people was ass whole and they kicked us out of our section for this old ass. The people we met was cool and I glad we didn’t pay to get in because it was horrible. While we was leaving they was trying to charge people 40 to get in a empty club

photos lockridge

Great place to be at on a Saturday ngt in the ATL..

Shelly. N

Well. Didn't even make it in. Charging $40.00 vip to an empty club. $20 regular admission line waited 20 minutes n moved two feet. So we left.. Club empty as all he'll still... Went to Vibes instead paid $10.00 entry free parking, seating and got good food n drinks.. Spent $50.00 "in" club for n drinks instead of parking n an overrated line. Smdh

Angela Hall

I have been there before but it has gotten worse. I went this past weekend and they are ridiculous. First, the line doesnt move fast enough. They want you to pay $60 for VIP, which is fine but why would I do that when the club is empty? Their drinks are watered down and It was my birthday and I still had to pay to get it! After that, I changed my mind on getting a booth with them and went to Blue IVY.

Google Contributor

Ok club. Don't bother with the day parties. It's a large venue with decent djs. They play mostly hip hop tracks. Good to visit once or twice

Sirion Sewell

Normally a BOURGEOIS crowd but great for events & nice outside

Jerri Christopher

Worst place ever to visit in Atlanta . Paid for tickets & never got in or a refund . I do not recommend anyone to go here you will not enjoy Atlanta if you do ,

V. DAVIS

Never made it inside.....The line was down the block and around the corner....Supposedly they have a "Cut The Line Price".... I'll never know if it was worth it because that was $75/person

Beza Gebru

WARNING: Unscrupulous business practices. Technically didn't go inside the venue so I won't give them 1 star. My gripe; Advertised via their page and eventbrite free before 11:30- FALSE. I like hip-hop, open patios and socializing with professional young POC. I thought let me give this place a try- *sigh Got in line at 11 and bouncer wouldn't let anyone in. Dumbfounded I asked the girls in line and they clarified- promos are never honored and if rarely, you'd have to be in line at 10. I dipped after I realized their shtick. I actually had no reservations calling to a night! From what I observed in line, clientele was everything but Black Excellence. Though it's in "gentrified" midtown atl, demographics looked hella ratchet. Not an upscale venue at all! I'd never pay to be in that environment.

Blue

Best spot ever. Love he dress code

Spencer Johnson

Club was huge with the outside addition. It was epic!

Jai Whitehead

The experience was good but they need a better DJ

Amber Pratt

This was my first time going & the last. Of course me & my sis decided to go out on a big night but for as many people that were there I would expect it to be more order. The security guards are lazy and the hostess that I saw tonight after the club closed was lazy too and I don’t think she had much education at all. Any how earlier tonight a fight broke out in the club & the security guards just let this dude continue to get jumped by a bunch of dudes. Meanwhile I’m right next to it & a few of us girls got knocked over on the floor! My heel got broken & My knee got hurt. Instead of kicking these mfs out that were fighting the guards let them stay which is the dumbest stuff I’ve ever seen in my life. The worst thing is I lost my wallet trying to move away from that brawl & nobody who worked at the club was any help to find it. So I went back when the club closed & tried asked one of the security guards for help. He directed me to this lazy fat ass hostess who told me she couldn’t help because she “didn’t have any shoes on..” so I’m like “ok, well can I go in the club & look to find my wallet?” N she tells me I can’t go in without someone who works there. So I’m asking her who do I ask..she says “ we can’t help u if u don’t tell us what you’re looking for” I swear this lady was slow or something so I was basically walking around at 4am askin people “hey are u a security guard?” Smmfh there’s better clubs in ATL that are safer & with competent people working behind the counter. Please go there instead don’t waste your time or money @ the compound they hold the line & jack the prices up unnecessarily anyways

Zhuming S

Worst club ever! Bunch of rude racist employees. Trust the reviews, DO NOT go here under any circumstances, this club shouldn't be existed.

Jibril Sulaiman

Don't waste your time RSVPing on Eventbrite. We arrived at 10:30 and stayed in line until 11:55 and the club was still virtually empty inside. They held the line so most people in line would pay full price after 12am. We will never come back.

Otis Mason

They are Crooks, The Girl behind the bar told be my Card was declined, I knew it was strange but I just thought my bank blocked it or something, so I gave her cash instead, wake up next day looking at my account and what do you know , yes they charged me for the two drinks ordered..... Becareful with this place it’s not the People who frequent the club....It’s the owner and Staff. Update Me and the Bank figured the Girl Lied And pocketed my Money, But it’s been disputed and I should be getting my money back.

Alexander Monday

Great club

Marquesha Neil

Upscale party and chill. Have to go at least once

Assyrian Schultz

The club is wack!! Had us standing outside for hours..we was from out of town; they treat you like a piece of meat

Carolyn Grady RhythmicImages

I am an exhibiting artists with Art Beats + Lyrics which is held at the Compound. Security, Compound staff and Gentleman Jack staff have always been very friendly. It is an indoor and outdoor venue and is very spacious.The lack of parking is a big issue when such a well attended event is held there. Late into the evening guests hoping to attend were still driving around looking for a place to park.

Paula Jackson

Always turnt! Lines be long af even VIP. But I'm never disappointed.

Shatina Wheeler

Went to compound for my cousins birthday , held the line and it was freezing may I add . Once we got into the nightclub it was packed but tolerable. Once the night progressed it got really hot so I stepped outside to get air in their patio area . Went to go back inside the bouncer proceeded to tell me it's 50 dollars to come back In

Kayla Got The 411

So we came the night Yo gotti was suppose to be there. I heard they hold the line purposely until 12 so no one can get in. Which is true, the security talk and laugh and let people in when they feel like it. There is enough space inside but they hold the line just because for hours. $20.00 coverage charge $40.00 for cut line. The joint closes 3am ish and by 3:10a.m no yo gotti like they advertised online and on all night so everybody starting leaving. Its pretty much a nicely decorated hood club. They are so thirsty for money at any cost they will lie to get people there and up the price. Not upscale at all a bunch of drunk men high & drunk before they even get inside messing up the vibe.

Antoinette Knolton

Club Compound i love that club i love it that was the best i ever went to for the first time and i would go back again cause i had that much fun i wanna go back again soon.

angel hilton

The venue is indoors & outdoors with a smooth vibe. Definitely a hot spot in Atlanta.

live Learn

Excellent for many years security staff all are Wonderful peolple .dj is awesome inside Also the dj on the deck area !!!! Space Boys! girls! Dress with class not a RATCHET event at all thank heaven!!

T. N. L.

The venue looks amazing. I, personally, was impressed by the seating and lighting. I attended on "2chains birthday" so this may explain the music. They only played one Beyoncé song. Like hello-- how can I show the kids what I'm working with if I don't have Beyoncé to shake my ass too. Girl, really.

Desi Contreras

First time here. Met some really cool people. Music was bumping. Met the manager, bought me a round because they didn't have what I wanted. Then he finds me outside and tells me he found a bottle of Jamo for me. I will definitely be back. Plenty of eye candy for everyone.
