5 /5 ShaYvonta Banner: I have lived in Atlanta for three years and I am mad that I never stepped inside Eddie’s Attic until now. I came for the Renaissance Room to see William Bilal and the whole night was worth it. The ticket was 21 dollars. I ordered a 16 dollar Riesling and thought the price was crazy until I tasted it because I had to sip that one glass slowly for almost three hours. That drink started drinking me so I ordered food. I asked the waitress about the black bean burger and she said it was her favorite. I was skeptical because a waitress could tell you anything just to get a sale but she was not lying. The black bean burger with the sweet potato fries was so good that I would go there just to eat even if I was not coming to a show. I paid 16 dollars for the burger and it was worth it. Parking note. There is a lot behind Eddie’s Attic that shares with Core Dance Studio but it costs 5.95 for 30 minutes. Street parking is way easier. I parked around 9 pm and paid nothing.
The energy during the show was crazy. They did not take a break for two and a half hours. Everyone was talented. Cello, violinist, guitarist, pianist, trombone, and the host making live beats while they played. Every musician got a solo but William Bilal was the one everyone was there for. If you want a general admission seat you have to get there early. They give out blue tickets numbered 1 through 28. I got there around 9 something and my number was 25 and it cut off at 28. Anyone after that stood the whole night. The ticket was worth it either way. This part is for the owners and management. If you can pack 200 people inside and still have 700 people waitlisted on a Tuesday night when people have school, work, and kids the next morning then you need to make this a weekly Tuesday residency. Nobody wanted to go home. This is a win for Eddie’s Attic, a win for the Renaissance Room, and a win for the city. I will be back.
