Heretic is Atlanta's leading leather bar and attracts a wide variety of patrons for its late-night weekend dance parties. In a nod to its roots as a fetish club, there is still a large leather room where a strict dress code is enforced, including boots, vest, harnesses, jackets and chaps. The back hallway is called "the gauntlet" and the back pool room is kept dark and tends to get rather frisky as the night wears on.
