    Yes, Atelier, near King and Brant, is open and currently hot, but no, you can't go. The so swank it's schwank spot is angling itself as an upscale, private resto-lounge; a place to knock back a few cocktails and chill to DJ thumps in a pleb-free ambiance.

    It's neither a public venue nor a traditional members' club. Atelier is an exclusive room for local and visiting A-listers, suit über-bosses, and select hangers-on. Biometric technology, rather than a VIP pass or Pin, is used at the door to recognize members for admittance.

    Atelier's partnership – designers/cofounders Marc Kyriacou, John Tsoumaris, Michael King and Antonio S. Tadrissi - possess an enviable resto-bar-biz pedigree. Just tell yourself that you don't need Atelier anyways. Feel better? I thought not.

    This venue was a complete disappointment. The clubs down time consists of Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings; their days of operation. Attend the various events this club puts out if you seek connections with people who made the same mistake that you did! Save your time and money and skip out on the Atelier experience :)

    I went on a Thursday night and while I reckon that the ambiance was quite nice, I thought the crowd was rather unimpressive. It ranged from "young and phony" to "old enough to be your grandpa".

    Any hot ladies? I think I may have seen one and she was sitting with me... If you read the numerous reviews, you'd think the crowd is super duper hot but in reality it was ok at best.

    This place is not very cool. It is all the "industry" types who think they are important because they work for a magazine or have a coloumn. The people are all in the midst of a midlife crisis and have a hard time getting babysiters to watch their kids while they sip $20 glasses of Prosecco. Didn't try the food but apparently David Adjey has something to do with it so it should be good albeit extremely pretentious.
