Primal is a huge party space in Atlanta that offers two floors of dance action; the Sky Bar is upstairs with a panoramic view of the city, and the Rock Bar downstairs has a large, wrap-around TV screen that flashes images to the beat of the music. Celebrities such as Atlanta's own Ludacris have been known to visit the VIP areas throughout the club. Primal's sound focuses on heavy bass-drenched music such as industrial, dance and techno, but a popular hip-hop track may get thrown in once in a while. Dress trendy for Primal. Call ahead for VIP treatment such as bottle and wait service.
