The Facility, Explored
We’re a big and flexible space. In terms of seated capacity, we can go from 60 - 400. For buffet events, we can go up to 350 seated, and that includes space for a dancefloor, stage, photobooth, etc. Standing events/limited seated events (like cocktail receptions, proms, etc), we can accommodate up to 1200.
The main thing is that we really think about how our space can best accommodate your event in a way where you guests can’t imagine it (your event) being held anywhere else but The Metropolitan Club. For 100 person plated events, we’ll spread the tables out more and adjust the lighting on the sides to compress the space. For cocktail receptions of 800 guests, we’ll add a satellite bar and separate the buffet into multiple stations to address flow concerns.
Any guest count, we have you covered.
The Living Room
Right when you enter The Met, you step into what we call “The Living Room”. It’s primarily used as an area to greet guests, set up displays/auctions, and serve appetizers.
There plenty of comfortable seating and cocktail tables (“high boys”) available in this space. Guests usually take a seat with their cheese and fruit aand socialize or crowd around a cocktail table with their drink before the event fully starts.
During the event, guests that want to escape the energy of the ballroom can retreat back here.
Entrance, Silent Auction, Cocktail HourThe Bar
Hand on the Bible, I genuinely believe we have the best bar of any event hall in Atlanta. The reason is because it’s a real, restaurant bar; it’s not just a singular satellite bar offering a white and a red wine and two beers. We have 14+ different wines, 25+ beers, hundreds of different liquor, and bartenders that know what they are doing.
Scott, our main bartender, has been serving drinks at the facility for over 10 years. He’s the man—he’ll take good care of you and your guests.

The Ballroom
This is where the magic happens. With the capacity for up to 400 guests seated (although 340 if you want space for a dancefloor, stage, and photobooth), the ballroom can be the center of any event you would like to host. It’s neutral enough to add any decor, making it completely your own for your event, but elegant enough where no decorations are necessary for your guests to appreciate the ambiance.
Features include a 7×12ft LED wall, multiple screens, premier sound, open space, multiple access and exit points, easy transition from the living, and easy transition to the restrooms.
Ceremonies, Cocktail Hours, ConventionThe Courtyard
Redone November of 2025, the newly developed outdoor courtyard area at The Metropolitan Club features soft astro-turf, overhead bistro lights, oak trees, and open space. With so much open space and direct access into the ballroom, it’s the perfect location for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours before your main event.
A cool features of the space is that it never gets hot. With trees overhead providing shade and the two building on both sides creating a wind tunnel, the outdoor courtyard will always be cool even in the heat of summer.
Lounging, Relaxing, Quiet SpaceThe Patio
Located right next to our bar, the patio is an extra amenity available to your guests upon request. Provided the weather is nice, it’s a great location within the space to enjoy a drink during cocktail hour and catch up with family and friends.
Changing Rooms, StorageBackstage
What many venues refer to as a groom’s room or green room, we refer to it collectively as our “backstage” area. It features two rooms, a hallway, an outdoor lobby area, and two adjacent restrooms. With its location being right next to the ballroom, it’s the perfect location to prepare your attire before the event or do a costume change during the event. Similarly, a lot of clients utilize this space as storage, leaving their decor boxes in a safe area while the event is going on. We’ve also transformed this area into VIP area for some guests, setting up food and beverage stations in it to take care of speakers and VIPs.
