Aiko

3 in 1

  • Full Sushi Bar
  • Martini Lounge
  • DJ Music

Situated in the West Village of Buckhead, Aiko offers a one-of-a-kind experience... a sushi bar, martini lounge and night club, all in one. Open at 5:30pm, Aiko begins the evening as a full sushi bar with creative options, such as the Redneck Roll or Seven Sins Roll. As the night progresses and the lights dim, Aiko transforms itself into an eye-popping martini lounge. Resident DJs spin plenty of groovy beats while customers enjoy the large outdoor patio and the exclusive VIP lounge with private rooms. Boasting an atmosphere only found in big cities with swank nightlifes, Aiko is the first of its kind in Atlanta. Packed with beautiful people and unique sushi, Aiko is well on its way to becoming the hottest spot to see and be seen in Atlanta.

Editorial Review for Aiko – by Brian Suber

The Scene
The bar features striking decor, hardwood floors and revolving tinted lights that shade the obligatory Buckhead throng, somewhat sinister door guys and lightning-fast bartenders serving reasonably priced drinks. An adjoining patio offers a break for banter and a row of cozy tables offer ample space to relax.

The Draw
Depending on when you arrive, you may savor morsels, swig half-price cocktails, chat up VIP lounge cuties or demonstrate your latest MTV moves. Live DJs play techno and remixes on the weekend nights and the mixed crowd soaks up the pop-light sounds. The maddening parking situation can be a headache, but reasonable drink prices and entertaining crowd offer a first-class sedative.

Insider Tips

When to Go

For martinis and sushi, head here Monday-Wednesday nights and check out the half-price happy hour specials. To groove, come later on Thursday, Friday or Saturday night.

Parking

There's free valet parking, which is ideal since pay lots are notoriously overpriced and crowded.

Know Before You Go

Guys are not allowed to wear sandals or open toed shoes in the evening, when the restaurant becomes more club like.

If you arrive there early on Fridays, you get some pretty cheap yummy sushi. During this time, however, there is hardly anyone around. People start showing up at about 12 when it's club time; not too many people come in for the dining experience. Service has always been mediocre.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I am a sushi snob. Aiko meets all my criteria for an outstanding sushi bar. They have very fresh ingredients, trendy rolls and wonderful service.
