Review for Eddie's Attic

Editorial Review for Eddie's Attic – by Alison Embrey

The Scene
A musical pilgrimage for aspiring singer-songwriters, Eddie's may resemble a crowded attic, but its coziness, combined with an excellent sound system, serves the acoustic-only performers well. While earnest artists sing their hearts out on stage, patrons sip cocktails, respectfully adhering to the "quiet listening" policy (no cell phones, smoking or loud chatter). An outside patio bar is the designated area for making noise and shooting pool.

The Draw
Having launched talent such as the Indigo Girls, John Mayer and Shawn Mullin, this music room is ripe for catching the next big thing. The all-ages 7pm show on Fridays and Saturdays serves as a warm-up for the 21-and-up crowd that strolls in for the 9pm performance. If hunger strikes, an expanded bar-food menu ranges from loaded nachos to sauteed tilapia.


Insider Tips
Know Before You Go

Your best bet is to order tickets online and arrive at the venue early. Entrance to the music room is based on the order that tickets were purchased online.
When to Go

If you think you deserve a gig at Eddie's, try out on Mondays at the open mic. You can win cash and stage time.
The Extras

If you live in the City of Decatur, bring your I.D. with a "30030" zip code and your second drink is free.
