First look at Damsel Cabaret

Good Day Atlanta is getting a look at the Damsel Cabaret on Chattahoochee Avenue. The supper club features a rooftop bar and a members-only showcase lounge.

ATLANTA - With a career that includes choreographing Broadway shows, films, and major events like the Academy Awards, Otis Sallid is no stranger to surprising his audiences. But the creative visionary’s latest move is truly a first-of-its-kind for Atlanta — and it’s had people buzzing for months.

Otis Sallid has teamed up with local restaurant owner David Green (of The Select in Sandy Springs) to open Damsel, a supper club located at The Works in the Upper Westside of Atlanta. Sallid serves as creative director for the venue, which includes a cabaret supper club featuring professional live entertainment, a rooftop bar, and a members-only rooftop club. 

"Damsel is a restaurant, first," explains Green. "But since we were fortunate enough to work with Otis Sallid, now I think it’s a balance between this incredible show that he’s developed for us, and a restaurant."

Damsel chef shows off food

Paul Milliken visited the new supper club, Damsel, on Tuesday morning. While he was there, he had the opportunity to speak to Chef Julian and sample some of the delicious food they are offering.

Sallid and Green say the idea is to create an elevated nightlife experience in Atlanta and watch world-class entertainment. Oh, and the entertainment isn’t limited to the stage; Green says there will be dance parties on the weekends, letting guests show off their retro moves.

"It’s a multi-experience venue, and it will be open from 4:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m., so we had to fill all that space," says Green. "And we’ve reinvented the cabaret for a modern audience." 

Damsel is located at 1235 Chattahoochee Avenue Northwest, Suite 110, in Atlanta. For more information on visiting the venue, click here.

Damsel offers both dining and entertainment

A new supper club in Atlanta, Damsel, offers both dining and entertainment. It is located at The Works.

Of course, Good Day Atlanta wanted to be the first TV crew inside the new supper club — so, we spent the morning there with Dave Green, Otis Sallid, and some of the venue’s performers. Click the video player in this article to check it out!
