The Tabernacle, a historic former church on Luckie Street, offers standing room for up to 2,500 and reserved balcony seating, covering genres from hip-hop to rock. It has been named one of Billboard's 25 Most Popular Music Clubs in the U.S. Also in Underground Atlanta, The Masquerade runs three stages, Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory, hosting nearly 700 shows a year, with a calendar heavy on rock, metal, hip-hop, and alternative. MJQ Concourse is a subterranean club that has been running for over 20 years, known for a DJ-driven dance floor spanning indie rock, hip-hop, R&B, jazz, and reggae, named after the Modern Jazz Quartet. Apache XLR is a restaurant and lounge on Marietta St NW that pairs dining with live jazz, R&B, soul, open-mic nights, and poetry. The Rialto Center for the Arts is an 833-seat venue in the Fairlie-Poplar district presenting jazz, world music, and dance.
