688 Club, Alternative music venue in Atlanta, United States
The 688 Club occupied a building at 688 Spring Street, featuring a main performance area and office spaces for staff management.
From May 1980 until November 1986, this establishment operated as a central location for punk rock and new wave performances in the southeastern United States.
The venue created its own record label, 688 Records, which released albums from local musicians and contributed to Atlanta's musical development.
The original building has undergone extensive modifications and currently functions as a Concentra urgent care medical facility at the intersection of Spring and 3rd Streets.
Cathy Hendrix, serving as music director, curated performances by early-career bands including R.E.M., 10,000 Maniacs, and Iggy Pop between 1980 and 1986.
