"City's Best Nightlife Award" - AOL City Guide
"Those yearning to hang in a nightclub with a New York City sense of style and sophistication have a Southern solution. Stashed in the basement of the Prohibition-era Biltmore Hotel, Halo Lounge has the feel of a modern-day speakeasy complete with a nondescript steel door. But once you pass through Halo's unadorned portal you enter a world of modernist opulence: black Saarinen "Womb" chairs, floating cafe tables suspended from a wood paneled wall and, occupying center stage, the best bar in Atlanta. We're not talking about the room, we're talking about the glowing monolithic "bar," constructed of back lit onyx, setting the stage for a mellow happy hour and an energized, DJ-lovin' late-night crowd."
"Best Midtown Club 2007" - Creative Loafing
"Let's be honest: A lot of nightlife hangouts, whether you're in Virginia-Highland, Castleberry Hill or Buford Highway, still seem monochromatic. But Halo is a place everyone will feel comfortable, and its diverse crowd is the best reason to visit."

"Step inside and you're transported into an ultra-sleek club experience. In fact, it's got a minimalist feel to it. The monolithic bar of back-lit white onyx is pure chic. The drinks are gorgeous and so are the people. There are several different "lounge" spots on various levels. This is one of the best lounges in Midtown and in fact, has played host to several artists who have shot music videos here."
"Best Cocktail Lounge & Overall 10 Best" - 10best.com
"Sleek furnishings of chrome, glass and wood ably temper the poured concrete shell of this hip lounge. Its centerpiece, a white onyx bar, takes on the colors of changing light, and patrons cozy up to it for Halo's fabulous cocktails. During the week, the scene takes on a low-key vibe, and relaxing with friends is a standard pastime. On weekends, though, the pace picks up, DJs spin the latest tunes, and folks revel in the heightened activity."
Frommer's - 5 Stars 2008
