If El Bar’s vibe is “coked out dance party,” Beep Beep Gallery is more “treehouse smoke lounge where everyone’s your best friend.” That tortured analogy is my way of saying that the art/music space has a small but dedicated crowd of regulars who are ultra-friendly and ultra-welcoming.

In addition to monthly art shows, the gallery hosts occasional mid-week concerts. The concerts tend to be emergency shows put together to support obscure traveling bands who wouldn’t otherwise be able to play in Atlanta. So you’ll have 2 or 3 popular experimental bands on the list, and then the touring band – for the last few months, that combination has provided an excellent mix of familiar and new sounds.
