"The Earl" is actually an acronym for "the East Atlanta Restaurant and Lounge." Located in East Atlanta Village, this is a favorite spot among high-spirited partiers in the area; the music here is loud, and the crowd is never dull. On scheduled nights, the lounge features hard-charging bands from Georgia and around the country, in genres ranging from alternative to metal to rock. Cover charge varies depending on the act for the night. Bar food is served.
