For a true underground experience with underground music, MJQ is the place to go. The club is even physically underground, located in a tunnel under an unmarked shed of what used to be a parking garage. Look carefully or you’ll miss it. Once found, descend into its dark, cavernous interior, and find yourself lost in retro space. With its glowing red bar, dim, neon green lighting and décor like a 1970s space ship, it’s the perfect nonconformist’s late-night hideaway from Buckhead/Midtown cheese.

Those tired of the mainstream scene and music seek refuge here for its diverse lineup and crowd from every race and walk of life; by far, Atlanta’s least segregated club. MJQ supplies Indie rock on Tuesday, Wednesday Britpop night, and Deep House on Saturday (with Retro and Britpop in the back room). Fridays nights are always revolving, with fresh jungle and breaks to hiphop being the most frequent. Additionally, there’s a relaxed down tempo room with its own comfy lounge, old school arcade games, caricatured walls, bar and additional DJ booth. The new Drunken Unicorn room also features live bands.

Dress is casual, especially since with the extremely low lighting people aren’t going to be checking out what you’re wearing anyways. People come here for the unique music, cheap drinks, open-minded people, no-frills attitude, and mainly- to dance. This is where they come to really get down, so don’t be surprised to see some of Atlanta’s best dance talent on the floor of MJQ. Note- Make sure you bring cash because they don’t accept credit. Also, don’t worry about arriving early, because the part picks up around 1am.
