February 2005 marked the arrival of The Loft, Midtown’s freshest new live music venue! Located on the 2nd floor of the EarthLink Live Music Complex, and equipped with top of the line sound, four full service bars, and a view of the midtown skyline, The Loft is the stylish destination for live music in Atlanta! Any night of the week one can be wowed by national and regional acts

The Scene
Oldest bar trick in the book: change your name, get a makeover and watch the socialites gather. So far, it's a so-so effort for this music locale, formerly Vinyl, perched above Earthlink Live. Open design is perfect to pack in bodies for DJ-spun dancing or live shows under the impressive light display. A smattering of pleather couches encourages a little bad behavior, while friendly bartenders at three bars mix drinks for melody makers

The Draw
The Loft's claim to fame are the varied genres of bands it showcases and club-hoppers who are as diverse as the sounds they come to hear. Opening up the space gives music fans the prospect of seeing superior shows from '80s retrospectives and national acts to hip-hop spinners and garage rockers. With several local music venues around the city now closed, the club may fill a void for live music aficionados
