PARKING OPTIONS

Any spot in the adjacent parking lot marked with a Vortex Parking Sign is always free to Vortex customers. All the other spots in this lot are available to Vortex customers as well, but on weekends, and certain holidays, there may be a charge to utilize those spaces. Other parking lots are available throughout Little 5 Points, and there is also metered and non-metered parking on the streets. Wherever you park, please read and obey all posted signage to avoid being ticketed, booted or towed. And always secure your valuables. Below are a few links to some options that you might find helpful.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

MARTA operates Atlanta’s public transportation system. This Vortex location is also accessible via the Inman Park Train Station. Approximate walking time from this station is less than 15 minutes. Bus service is also available throughout the city.

SEATING POLICIES

All seating is first-come, first-served. We do not take reservations or offer phone-ahead seating. Large parties are discouraged during peak business periods. A covered, heated and air-conditioned patio is also available at this location.

TAKE-OUT SERVICE

The Vortex is a neighborhood bar. We do not specialize in “take-out” service, so our “dine-in” guests will always be our first priority. Therefore, phone-in take-out service may be suspended during peak business periods. After 8:00pm, take-out orders can only be placed in-person with the bartender, and must be paid for at the time the order is placed. You can CLICK HERE for more information about our take-out policies.

COMEDY CLUB

The Laughing Skull Lounge Comedy Club is located inside The Vortex-Midtown (which is our other location), but The Vortex is not responsible for the operation of this venue. Therefore, we will NOT be able to assist you with any inquiries about this club. You can CLICK HERE to visit their website.
