Understudy

"We hosted a welcome dinner at the Understudy Bar the night before our son's wedding. We had 110 people at this dinner and everyone complimented us on the choice of venue. The place is amazing, the food delicious, the drinks plentiful. But the real kudos goes to Mina Abdelsayed, who worked with us for months to make the evening a success. He and his employees went over and above to help kick off a great weekend in style. Thank you!!"

"I think I found my new favorite afterwork bar. Located in the DeKalb market, surrounded by various options of good eats, Understudy is definitely a great place for drinks and catching up with friends. I went there on a Friday evening and there was a live DJ playing old school hip-hop and R&B. I asked the bartender for suggestions and he made me a pomegranate martini. It was delicious! They also allowed us to grab food in the food court and bring it in to eat, which was a plus. They have happy hour from 4 to 7 PM."

"Came here instead of my regular. Hidden gem for sure, come on Wednesdays for Terrence. Objectively good music and drinks at a decent price. Top shelf selection is solid."

"I went here on a Friday afternoon and was pleased to see they're back in action. My friend and I were impressed with the friendly bartenders/staff including the great recommendation for the drinks we ordered AND their overall attentiveness. The music was great too, not whisper-mode but loud enough for it to be a vibe. The space is huge with cool dimmed lighting which is, again, a vibe. Come here with 1 friend or 20 friends, you will have a great time."

"LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Amazing Artistic bartender, Abraham! He makes the space a pleasure. Because there is a bar area and an open court for dancing or lounging, think about installing some soundproof curtains. The dance music on Latin nights is sooooo loud that it bleeds into the bar area which already has a playlist. It's just too much, too loud. Also, to the owner, consider lengthen extending your closing time on Thursdays - Saturdays & perhaps some theme nights, (especially for football and boxing), your bar would profit well."
