A pop and crackle resonated from speakers at the bottom of the hill on Westside Motor Lounge’s complex and across Atlanta as Echo Room came to life after months of preparation. Meticulously curated by four legendary Atlanta DJs, Kai Alce, DJ Kemit, Salah Ananse, and Mike Zarin, and Westside Motor Lounge’s own Kelly Campbell, Echo Room is an homage to the listening bars of post-World War II Japan and increasing in popularity in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, and now Atlanta.

Stylized in 1970s chic and with a comfort reminiscent of a well-worn recording studio basement, Echo Room provides an inner groove that sonically transports listeners to that point in time where each note meant something to the artist as they were recording it. Designed with music enthusiasts in mind, sounds of House, Soul, Classic Rock, Jazz, Bossanova, Latin, Pop, Hip Hop, and more spill out of the 1750 sq ft space each Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 6p to 12a as guests bask in the warmth of vintage sound systems while sipping on expertly crafted cocktails. The Echo Room’s sound system, designed by Salah Ananse, features vintage studio equipment sourced from Hi-Fi aficionados throughout North Georgia.

In addition to signature nights fueled by Kemit, Alce, Ananse, and Zarin, Echo Room will regularly host talent from across the country, putting their spin on this unique hi-fi, analog concept.

Within walking distance to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Westside Motor Lounge spans nearly 3 acres and features a full-service restaurant, two bars, a private event space, and a spacious outdoor courtyard. A local favorite, the courtyard boasts a stage for bands and DJs, a beer garden, shuffleboard courts, fire pits, ample seating, and a vintage Airstream travel bar and food trailer. Westside Motor Lounge is located at the corner of Northside Drive and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway at 725 Echo Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30318.
