    Lots to see inside
    The atmosphere is one of the coolest dad we’ve ever seen for a bar/restaurant. We didn’t exactly know what we were getting into with the exterior skulls outside. We just had appetizers, but they were fantastic! Also, I had a couple of the spicy chili and it was the best chili we’ve ever had. There are so many random signs and items on the walls and ceilings. You can be entertained for hours. Highly recommend when in Atlanta.

    It's still a fun place to hang
    I've visited the Little 5 Points area for more than 40 years and it's still got some cool factor. My only real disappointment is that their "thrift" second hand stores....aren't so great on prices or selection anymore. They used to be real gold mines.

    Stay Hypervigilant
    It's the city. Loud horns, beggars, vagabonds, street vendors stopping you as you're trying to get from point A to point B, troublesome children, lines to get into certain stores (due to social distancing), Israelites, etc. We didn't cover it all and I dont have any intentions on going back to do so. I dont like going places where I have to be hypervigilant. There was a paid parking lot close by. We paid $5 for 2 hours. If you go, be sure to blend in and dont wear nothing flashy or expensive. I didnt see any robberies but I'm sure from the looks of things, it happens...regularly. Lots of places to eat and drink adult beverages.

Maybe it was the time of year, but there was not much to sing about here. I had been here so many times and loved this area when I lived in Athens, but it seems like things are sliding backwards...could it be COVID or general societal malaise? Not sure...one highlight was RagORama...my son loved it!

We were terrified to go In and eat. We managed to get out of the car and wished we had just went ahead and drove away. The music in the pizza place was HORRENDOUS. Mostly it made me feel like I should jump off a bridge. They must have wanted us to leave. The moment we laughed, the volume went up 🙄. We waited forever for room temperature, mediocre pizza. Got out to our car to see that it had been broken into. 😭. I wouldn’t suggest it at all.

Great shopping! Lots of local artists and small businesses here. Even found some great thrift shops. There’s a tavern, pizza shop and 2 great vegan restaurants. Oh and Starbucks is on the corner! Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. My favorite shop was Junkyards Daughter, lots of great novelty gifts!

Little Five Points is a great and welcoming place to visit. Unique and unusual people. But there is a viper hiding in the Atlanta Pot Store. Avoid them unless you like violent threatening racists.

When I read the other review on here, I was hesitant to go to L5P (which, by the way, is not near Five Points itself in Downtown Atlanta, it's about 5-10 miles to the east). I expected dirty, dingy, tons of panhandlers (there were a couple, but in what city is that not true?), and nothing of interest. What I found was a compact, vibrant neighborhood with great restaurants (including a nice Indian restaurant, Calcutta) and a good night life scene if you want to avoid loud, big-city dance clubs with $10 drinks and just want to drink and talk with friends, shoot pool or darts, or people watch.

Definitely worth the trip, a $10 cab ride from the Georgia Dome.

We were just passing though, on our way to somewhere else, but our visitors, from Eastern Europe asked, "What's This?" I said "Little 5 Points, sort of like a slice of the hippie 60's in present day." And they had to see it. I live close to L5P. as we in the neighborhood call it, but rarely go there these days, so it was a whole new experience for me, too.

This area has gone through many transformations over the years, but as a unique locale for shopping, food, entertainment and the arts, it has existed for almost 45 years because the people who brought it back from ruin planned it with the intention of encouraging the creative residents of Atlanta to work, play and live in and near L5P.

There are several venues for theater and live music that are always packed, bars, restaurants, but the shops are what are the most unique. The Junkman's Daughter is a large shop full of what I would call novelty clothing, nick knacks, trinkets, costumes and art work. You could definitely spend a couple hours there looking at everything.

Rag-O-Rama is the mecca of hip, used clothes at good prices. A huge variety of clothing for men, women and children that is appealing in color, fabric and design. There are other, equally as wonderful 2nd hand clothes stores here including Psycho Sisters.

Restaurants include The Vortex, whose hamburgers are rated some of the best in the country. Also check out The Porter Beer Bar, with great beer and bar food.

Criminal Records is one of several music sources with new and used CDs and LPs.

Other notable eateries and shops are Outback Bikes for athletic, outdoor wear and American Apparel for high priced, skimpy American made clothing. Other small, original clothing shops I didn't actually go into have original clothes that will appeal to young women with good figures.

Little 5 Points also features one of the first organic food co-ops in Atlanta, Sevananda, and the Little 5 Points Center for Arts and Community, which houses venues for live theater, community radio, and artists studios and organizations.

Charis Bookstore is a gathering place for women, and just around the corner is the Brewhouse Cafe, a gathering place for great outdoor eating.

I could go on and on. No matter what your age or inclination, cultural interests or food cravings, you'll find something you'll enjoy in Little 5 Points. My Eastern European visitors certainly did.

This place has really been run down for a long time. They tried to get it back up and going, but the homeless laying everywhere and begging for money is too much. The smell from urine in the streets just is not my idea of an adventure. I would not recommend this area to anyone.

The record stores are ok but don't stay too long and don't stand within earshot of anyone else because you might accidentally overhear some inane conversation about whiskey preferences or a whatever.
