Apache XLR

Had a great time the food was so good. I would have came food the food alone. The music on point. Just a great a vibe. Come see for ya self.

I have been a fan of Apache for years. Apache was a go-to spot for me while living in the ATL. Good live music, poetry, and overall vibe.

Atmosphere cool. Entertainment is awesome. Service awful. Took 40 minutes to get my drink, then the food service took a long time, and then an additional 35 minutes to get another drink. Paid $70 for 2 drinks (margaritas) and an order of chicken nachos. 18% gratuity automatically added with no option. The website says that's for parties of 5 or more but the ticket was added automatically and there were 2 of us. $20 to park, $20 each to enter, and then $70 for 2 drinks and an order of nachos. When you add a 12% beverage tax, regular tax plus the automatic 18% gratuity you've added dang near an extra $30 in fees. Crazy. I can't justify spending this much and having subpar service.

Sat for 2 hours waiting for food, coffee was cold, and then we were told that they ran out of eggs… during brunch hours. To top it off they ran out of cups & utensils. Absolutely terrible. Don’t know how a place like this stays open

Really cool spot in Downtown Atlanta

If I could rate my experience of less than 1 star I would. Although we didn’t have a table reservation, we came to the cafe an hour before they “allowed” people to come in. We were told, we have to come back an hour later, and possibly wait in line to be seated. We came back an hour later, no tables were ready. We sat at the bar, grab a few drinks and went to our table, which was in the corner of the stage. Folks not part of performances, blocked our view majority of the times. I asked the waitress if she could advise for them to move. Some did, some didn’t. Drinks and hookah were ok. The performers were decent. Could be better. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend anyone going without a table reservation. Young crowd. Not for me, but could be for someone who doesn’t mind a well known establishment who was the cornerstone for young black eccentric artists but now operates as a lower version of Love Jones.

They don’t have a lot of waitresses so getting food and drinks is kinda slow. My shrimp was fried waaaay too hard and it was kinda cold when I received it. The atmosphere is a vibe though. Just be patient with them and make sure you tip! Even if gratuities are added. These people work hard to make sure they are servicing everyone. Parking: It’s $20 to park across the street
