Café 290 is a smaller venue that offers dining tables near the stage, cocktail tables closer to the door, and bar seating that encircling approximately 50% of the full-service bar.
Due to recommendations from the reviews I read we arrived shortly after 8:00 PM for the 9:00 PM starting time. Having already eaten dinner we decided to grab a cocktail table near the middle of venue, which turned out to be an excellent selection. As showtime approached the joint began to quickly fill up and it ended up being standing room only.
Service was OK, although it did seem that our waitress wasn't very attentive and the only way that we were able to get drinks was to stop her as she walked by us. Perhaps it was just me, but she seemed to be ignoring us compared to the service she was providing to the remainder of her tables.

Great atmosphere with a mature crowd. Celebrated my girlfriends birthday here. Get there early for parking and seating purposes. Drinks were great but be patient ordering and receiving your food.

We loved the experience. The lemon pepper wings were so good. The drinks were good they really don't skimp and the liquor in the cocktails whew lol. The music and atmosphere was making. They practiced social distancing so we felt safe to have a good time. We will definitely be back soon!

Finding this place was the best thing that happened to me during my trip to Atlanta. The location is great, easy to find (w/ private parking). Getting a reservation was super fast and simple. The interior suits the music and restaurant. Food was very good, great customer service as well. Went to listen to William Green’s trio and boy do they sound great, he seems very experienced at entertaining the audience. Not to mention, as a underaged youngster just trying to see some live music at a bar/restaurant without the worry of age restrictions (21+), this place welcomed me right in. First time and I’ll definitely come back to Cafe 290 in the future.

Really enjoyed my visit. Came for a Billy Holiday Tribute with a business partner. The music was delightful/phenomenal band that evening. Wait staff was a little slow and the venue wasn't packed. While the service was slow, the staff was polite and professional. Great way to unwind during the week!
