Popular in cities larger than Atlanta, The Mark Ultralounge brings the "chic hotel bar" scene to the area, minus the hotel. Owners Michael Hileman and Brandon Lewis bring a mix of flavors together, offering a club that plays everything from funk and trance to hip-hop and house. Jonathan Edwards, Jonathan Allyn and DJ Cozy Shawn are regular DJs who spin their favorite tunes. The club also offers a few underground DJs from time to time such as Dimitri, Grandmaster Flash, Doc Martin and Afrika Bambataa.
