Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room & Ping Pong Emporium is located in Atlanta and is packed with eclectic experiences. It functions as a bar predominantly but is also comprised of artwork, host to ping pong tournaments and features a living room, a dart room, and more. It boasts a church theme throughout the space, with biblical artwork that takes on a satirical approach, as well as karaoke night events centered around church organ sounds.
It serves up picnic-style a food selection and eliminates televisions and the internet, while also banning indoor smoking to embody its theme in a humorous way -- also implemented to encourage community and conversation. Additional themed nights include Tarot Girl Tuesdays to explore more spiritual concepts with the eclectic drinks menu.
