Reasons To Underground Atlanta
Underground Atlanta offers a literal “city beneath the streets” where you can experience one of the most unique atmospheres in the South. Created in the 1920s when the city elevated its downtown streets on concrete viaducts, it buried a sprawling network of 19th-century storefronts, brick archways, and cobblestone alleys.
Today, this 12-acre subterranean time capsule blends its deep historical roots with a raw, electric modern energy. It has transformed into a premier entertainment hub where you can catch live shows at the legendary Masquerade in Kenny’s Alley, dance into the early hours at MJQ Concourse, or explore immersive art exhibitions and local vendor markets. Connected directly to the MARTA Five Points transit hub, getting there is seamless. Walking down into the multi-level maze is free, making it an essential stop for anyone who wants to step off the polished tourist path and experience Atlanta’s authentic pulse.
FAQs
It’s a historic, four-block “city-beneath-the-city” in downtown Atlanta. Originally the ground-level streets of the 19th century, the area was buried when the city built viaducts over the railroad tracks. Today, it is undergoing a major revitalization, transforming from an old shopping mall into a gritty, energetic hub for late-night live music venues (like The Masquerade), immersive art galleries, and pop-up events.
Taking MARTA is the absolute best way to access the district. The Five Points station—the main hub where all rail lines intersect—is located immediately adjacent to the complex, offering a short, direct pedestrian connection straight into Underground Atlanta.
Where is the Hard Rock Cafe located?
Because the district is evolving into a nightlife and entertainment hub, the complex has no single set hours. You can walk through the main public corridors during the day, but the individual art galleries, bars, and music venues each have their own operating schedules.
