About Clermont Lounge
Clermont Lounge is Atlanta's most beloved institution — a deliberately unpretentious dive bar that has been operating in the basement of the Clermont Motor Hotel since 1965. The venue is famous for its long-running performers and its complete indifference to trends, fashion, or the expectations of Atlanta's more upscale nightlife scene. It has been a gathering point for Atlanta's creative community, visiting musicians (who regularly stop in after their own shows), and anyone who appreciates authentic, unselfconscious nightlife culture.
History
Clermont Lounge has been operating since 1965 and has survived every transformation that has reshaped Atlanta around it. Its longevity is a testament to the irreplaceable value of venues that simply are what they are, without pretension or aspiration to be anything else.
