Xperience - Sports Bar & Lounge

If you looking for a nice vibe and big tvs especially for football season, this is a good place to come to. They also have hookahs. I came on a Tuesday. One of the things I like here is that security is doing they job and always standing ready and not sitting down. Nia is one of the bartenders! She made my drinks and she was definitely a vibe. Make sure you ask for her.

Nice place to have drinks with friends and watch some college football. We had a few rounds since my friend likes Prime Time Deion and watched the Buffs win. Service was good since she's a regular there and we were sitting at the bar. Drinks were pretty good, enjoyed a nice strong Long Island Ice tea.

Very much a sports bar vibe with section seating on the outside. We were able to sit in a section area but they advised we had to get up once 10pm hit unless we planned to buy a bottle. They didn't have a mocktail menu, but the bartender was kind enough to whip one up for us and they were only $4/each.This area is interesting. The plaza has about 3-5 lounge/club spots that seem to all get packed as the night goes on. Little Lagos and Boum Boum are in the same plaza. The parking lot is large, however they section off areas in the public lot to then charge people for "VIP" parking.

It was my first time here. I came on a Tuesday. They had Tuesdays $2 taco specials which instantly made me a fan. They have hookah and a great DJ. This is definitely a great spot for a Tuesday night.

I honestly walked in here from another lounge. Just looking to continue the vibe. It was a Thursday evening, maybe like 8-9pm and the vibe was LIT! Old school R&B, me singing along...Hookah and drinks with a huge bar or tables to sit. Of course I was at the bar, pointing and singing directly to the dj while mouthing "That's my shhhh" lmao. I will be back definitely. The drinks were good and so was the hookah. I did not try the food. I did not pay to get in and there is a lot of free parking. It is located in a shopping plaza.

Nice spot. Top notch security. The food was great they have their own specialty drinks . I had the Xperience drink- L obosSilver, Blue Curacao, Simple Syrup, Lime Juice, & Sour MixGarnished with a Lemon, Served in a Tall CupBROOKHAVEN14JackThe shrimp and mozzarella sticks were a hit. Also . I had a stella and the xperience drinkThey have so many tv's and game days are exciting here as we watched Celtics v Bucks game 7

Xperience Sports Bar & Lounge, also known as Xperience International, was a pleasant surprise. I thought both the food and service here were good. Where else in Atlanta can you get a high-quality, cooked-to-order, grass-fed steak with sides for $24? What a great deal.We originally wanted to eat on the patio at the Lions. However, when we saw their patio was completely full, I walked down the sidewalk of Crossroads Village (the shopping center at the corner of Buford Highway and Clairmont Road) and saw an empty table on Xperience's patio. I walked inside Xperience (one of the two front doors was propped open), was greeted by friendly server Jeana W, and I asked her if we could have dinner on the table outside. There was only one other table, suitable for a small group, outside and it was taken by a group of ladies smoking hookah. Like the Lions, Xperience offers hookah in addition to food and drink.This used to be Empire Sports Bar & Lounge: https://bit.ly/34CAWaT. Xperience opened in its place in mid-September 2020.Inside, wow. This is a sports bar and then some. Big, bright TVs everywhere. Two spacious rooms, both with bars. And the atmosphere is that of a club/lounge. It's lavish. Unless you've been inside, you'd never expect it looking from the outside because of the storefront's reflective tinted windows. We visited for dinner and I saw the interior turn from brightly-lit daytime service to dark, club-like, nighttime service. When I walked inside right before sunset, I saw a mix of clientele enjoying themselves: groups smoking hookah, guys on their laptops, and singles at the bar. If you're looking for a more traditional sports bar, you might want to head elsewhere because this is more of a nightclub and lounge.During our visit, we were handed two menus, one for hookah and the other for food and non-alcoholic beverages. Surprisingly, they didn't have an alcoholic drink menu yet. However, the business was still fairly new at the time so they may very well have a proper drink menu by the time you read this. They already appeared to be serving a full bar with cocktails. Hookahs were $25 each with seven flavor options, $10 refills, and Mighty Freeze ($27) and House Hookah ($30) for a bit more.Generally, the cuisine served was American and Southern. Appetizers had lady names such as the Lily ($8) which was hummus with balsamic reduction and grilled pita bread and the Victoria ($11) which was grilled shrimp with cucumber mango salad. They offered tacos (chicken, shrimp, and steak; three for $14-15), wings in five flavors/sauces (10 for $12, 20 for $22, 30 for $32), entree-sized salads ($15-18 each), sandwiches ($11-12 each with fries), and specials such as the Southern Hospitality ($18), consisting of grilled free-range chicken breast, the Chamblee Salmon ($22) that comes with potato cake, and the Com' on Man ($25) New Zealand lamb chops.Take note: They have Taco Tuesday when it's three for $10 tacos and Grown Woman Wednesday when a group of four ladies can get half-off hookahs.I had the Bella ($11) app - fried calamari with spicy marinara sauce - and The Champ ($24) entree - grass-fed grilled filet mignon, mashed potatoes, broccolini, baby carrots, and a bourbon-infused demi-glace. The Bella was par for the course. Not bad, not remarkable; tasty, satisfactory, and served its purpose. If anything, I think the calamari could've been crispier, but I liked that it wasn't too oily nor salty.The Champ steak was an excellent value. We were all impressed with how thick the cut was. Generous portion size. I requested the filet to be cooked medium rare and it came out with a perfectly pink, tender, and juicy center. The demi-glace was savory and delicious; I just wished there was more of it. The steak itself was quality though. The mashed potatoes, broccolini, and baby carrots were all fresh and delectable. Honestly, if I didn't know any better, by the look and taste of the dish alone, I would've thought it came from a fine dining establishment. Overall, they did a nice job with dish presentation. This is certainly not run-of-the-mill pub grub.I had water to drink. I normally don't mention my drink if it's just water, but I'm mentioning it in this review because I appreciated how Jeana served us complimentary iced water from the bar and didn't just automatically assume or serve us $4 bottles of Fiji Water. While not a big deal, other similar bars and lounges can do that to you. As long as it's potable, it's fine with me. Yet another reason for my four-star rating for this place.My friends, who ordered the veggie spring rolls, tacos, and grilled chicken sandwich with bourbon-infused barbecue sauce and coleslaw all seemed to enjoy their meals. We had a fun.Service was good. Jeana and the other waitress were wonderful. They were kind and attentive. Our orders came out in a reasonable amount of time.Check out Xperience on Instagram at @xperienceinternationallounge. Link: https://bit.ly/3mw2rcf.

Parking- great! It's located in a shopping plaza so plenty of parkingVibes- we did go early afternoon so there were a few ppl there but not packed out like it would be around 9pmMusic- good, a mix of some of everything. Drink- I didn't like the drink much it wasn't mixed well in my opinion. The food was pretty good, I was not a fan of the calamari but everything else was really good. I would definitely come back for the lounge section if I had an event. The bartender was so nice and told us how it all works during the week vs weekends.

Thanks to Daniel B, we had stumbled upon this place. Our original intention was to eat a few places down (The Lions), but the patio was full already, and during the pandemic, it is only patio places to eat. We came here, and were welcomed immediately.Xperience has a small patio out front, and is considered a hookah bar, sports bar, and lounge. I never made it inside, but from the looks of it, it has plenty of space with a modern vibe. There are TVs inside, but not outside. There are about 3 tables outside to eat or lounge.Our server (the receipt says Jeana, hope thats her), was attentive and friendly. She gave us a drink menu, food menu, and a hookah menu. For me though, I only utilized the food menu. Expect a full bar here. I also like that when I asked for water, she did ask what type, not just initially assuming I wanted a bottle (as some places will do that and charge you for it)- so I appreciated that. The food menu, the apps look like they are named after people, and the entrees, neighborhoods and what not. I ordered Becky (lol) which were the veggie spring rolls, and the Buckhead, a chicken sandwich with bbq sauce, slaw, and fries. It said it was on ciabatta bread, but im pretty sure it was on a pretzel bun- however, fine by me. To drink, I got a raspberry lemonade.The spring rolls came out, and you know what, along with the dipping sauce and the sauce on top, I really liked them- in fact, I didn't even share! My chicken sandwich, was decent as well. It paired well with the slaw and sauce. Last, the fries, I really liked those, had a thin layer of seasoning of them, and I did not share those either.They have an active IG page (xperienceinternationallounge) that posts daily specials and other events, to keep you in the loop on stuff. My friend had ordered tacos, and since it was on a Tues, saved about 4$ off them! This place replaced Empire Lounge and opened late September 2020. This was a pleasant surprise and a nice last minute find. Relaxing vibe, nice staff, and decent food- check it out if you want to try something different!

My daughter and her friends were beaten up outside this lounge, a random man approached them and they said no to him , then he started swinging on them , when my daughter tried to go back inti lounge for help thinking maybe they would call the police she was turned away and the owner Mike said she deserved it because he could tell she and her friends were the aggressor. Horrible treatment after they had just were in his establishment, horrible way to treat customers and bad attitude.
