The Purple neon lights of the huge, cylindrical CBS center and its flashing strobe lights beckon to drivers from the Spaghetti Junction. Inside awaits Club Europe, Atlanta’s melting pot of late night revelers. With state of the art lighting and sound systems, an impressive range of ages and ethnicities all come together to party till dawn in its unique, multicultural atmosphere.

Friday nights feature hip-hop/R&B, and on Saturdays the dance floor is pumping with high-energy club hits, European funk and breakbeats. “Noche Caliente” occurs every Sunday, with salsa flavor and Latin vibes. Although the dance floor doesn’t get packed with its usual masses until late in the night, by 11:30 the lounge seating is already getting full, so keep in mind that for $50 you can snag a VIP table with private dance floor and complimentary bottle of wine.

The international crowd Club Europe draws is both sophisticated and yet carefree. They really know what it means to party and let loose, so the dance floor stays hopping until 6am. Last call for alcohol is still at 2:30am though, and it’s a good idea to bring cash for drinks, because opening a tab at the bar requires a $25 minimum. The no sneakers or boots rule is strongly enforced.
