About Lyfe ATL

Courtland Street, close to the downtown hotel cluster, is home to this hybrid of supper spot and club: a long room with orange and blue banquettes, wall-mounted screens, an aquarium-lit bar and a dance floor under moving lights, plus an upstairs level. The owners describe it as a restaurant by day and a nightclub after dark, and the plates in guest photos lean Southern and seafood, with lobster tails, fried fish, wings, mac and cheese and candied yams. Hip-hop and R&B drive the weekend, when doors open at 10pm on Friday and Saturday and run until 3am, and hookah and bottle-girl service are standard. The crowd skews young. The recurring complaint is the door, with reviewers reporting groups paying anywhere from $19 to $65 each for the same entry, and others describe long lines, a hot room and a safety scare that emptied the bar. Google rates it 3.7 from about 300 reviews.
