    Some of the best beer I've had in town. The food was top notch as well. Although for the quantity of the beer and food the items were quite pricy so be prepared. The serving system was kinda weird for a brewery as well. All our drinks took some effort to get. Loved the decor. Will definitely be back

    First time grabbing food here and I was pleasantly surprised. The charred Caesar with peaches was delicious and I also enjoyed the burger. The fries and aioli were delicious. I'll definitely grab a bite next time we pop in for a beer.

    Located in the beer garden -- not sure if Mario was just recorded or someone was actually playing

    What a perfect start to our day exploring the Summerhill neighborhood! We kicked things off in the beer garden at Halfway Crooks, and it was such a vibe -- plenty of seating, super clean bathrooms (always a plus), and friendly, attentive service that made us feel right at home. After enjoying the outdoor space, we headed inside for some food and another round. We both ordered the Cerné Pivo -- a Czech-style black lager that was surprisingly light, smooth, and incredibly drinkable. Highly recommend if you're looking for something flavorful but not heavy. Now let's talk about the food. We got the schnitzel plates and the charred broccoli Caesar salad to share. The schnitzel came with a warm potato salad tossed with arugula and some sort of aioli, plus a side of collard green kimchi. It was hands down the standout dish -- crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. No exaggeration, my friend and I seriously considered coming back the very next day just to eat it again!

    If I could give this brewery 10 stars, I would. Upon walking in, they have a cute chill area and bar downstairs. An employee told me they have a rooftop and it was a gorgeous day outside so we decided to go up. It's a semi covered roof top so you still get some sun but not direct. Super cute and airy vibes with chill music playing in the background. I ordered the Ubik IPA that so so good, no after taste. My mom ordered the Shell, it was more like a stout dark beer, she loved it. To eat we shared the Wet Lemon Pepper wings, Chicory Salad and Sausage. I absolutely loved the wings, perfect taste, it also came with house made blue cheese to dip. The salad was different since it had squash but it was light and perfect for the day. My mom ate the sausage with mustard dressing. She kept on saying she would come back for that meal and beer. Across the street they have a Beirgarten (beer garden) that had some food vendors in containers, a small stage and seating under trees. They were going to have a stein holding contest but we had to leave back to the airport to go home. Next time, this place is awesome! Oh also met Alex, one of the brewers, he was nice and so was our server Jason.

    Lemon pepper wings surprised the heck out of me. They were delicious along with the fries. Loved enjoying the meal of the open upstairs area. The breeze felt fantastic in the late Sept afternoon air. Went over to the storage container shops and got an apple strudel for dessert and it was fantastic too!

    You can find Halfway Crooks Beer at 60 Georgia Ave SE Atlanta, GA 30312. This is about two blocks from the old Braves stadium between Frasier and Reed Streets. There's some on street parking but really, several lots behind businesses are your best bet - just avoid the lots that have signs "parking for X only" and you should be find. Many of the businesses are closed on weekends so it's a great time to drop by, especially early afternoon. I've visited this great brewpub on several occasions, going back to the first month it opened. At that time it occupied this classic red brick building with a nice bottom floor bar with additional seating upstairs. The menu was fairly simple and the beers were heavy on the lager side. Since then they've expanded a bit with a Beer Garden across a side street (it's surrounding by brightly painted containers). While the main location has food, I've found different offerings from the Beer Garden including a pretty great smash burger. Also try the Lemon Pepper Wet Wings from inside. These are the beers I've tried (note that Halfway Crooks prides itself if more traditional beer recipes): * Sanguine - Pale Ale - Belgian 4.8% - Very solid Belgian with typical spicy banana nose. Light slammable body and dry finish. * Cassonade Quad - Belgian Quadrupel 10.5% - Tasty with notes of dark fruit in an earthy, malty body. A touch of banana nose and brown sugar, awesome lacing and a dry finish. * Kelvin - Lager - Smoked 4.8% - Slightly smoky competent Helles lager. * Distributed Denial of Service (with Burial Brewing) - Kellerbier 5% - Quite good kellerbier, hoppy body with well balanced profile and dry finish. * Less Data - Pale Ale - American 5.2% - Quite good hazy pale ale, fairly easy drinking with hops throughout and citrus notes of papaya and guava, with a dry hoppy finish. * Settings - Pale Ale - American 5.2% - Quite good hazy pale ale, dry clean hoppy body with citrus notes, very easy drinking and a great go-to beer. * Fair Day - IPA - Imperial 8% - Tasty, reminds me a bit of Orpheus' venerable Transmigration of Souls, slightly malty body with notes of stone fruit, piney nose and a burst of hops bitterness to balance thins out. * Farina - Kolsch 4.8% - Quite competent kolsch, nice malt to hops balance, a bit dry, very easy drinking. * Ubik - IPA - American 6.8% - What would Philip K. dick say? Fruity dry body with tropical notes, beautiful lacing. Finishing hoppy and bitter. * Descent - Stout - Russian Imperial 13% - My favorite thus far - Fantastic, big creamy chocolate note up front with mild barrel, transforms into a beautiful tiramisu with great balance and a hint of alcohol booziness in the finish. * Whole Cone Active Low - Pilsner - German 4.9% - Very easy drinking, good amount of hoppy bitterness, light bready body slightly dry. The service here is really fantastic, whether you're ordering from the counter at the Beer Garden, sitting at the great bar downstairs, or sitting in the upstairs room (remarkable how fast you get beer up here). In all this is one of the best beerpub experiences you'll encounter in Atlanta, with a great beer selection.

    Excellent vibe to the place with indoor and rooftop seating. Kind of an old school vibe to the interior. In you're in the mood for German, Czech style beers. Main reason we came were for the pretzels. They were fine, just a hair bit smaller than we anticipated. Overall cool place, kind of gives you a Euro vibe if that's what you're in the mood for.

    it's a beautiful day in Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America. I'm in the halfway crooks Biergarten having a good time. The music is bumping, the beer is cold, the sun is shining. What more could you want? service was great. Avery, Emma, and Camille were great servers/bartenders. 11/9 stars. will be back tomorrow ,':^)

    great lagers
    Andrew H.

    Handily my favorite brewery in Atlanta. They specialize in lagers, a rarity in craft breweries even here in the year of the Orange Faced Clown Resurrection 2024. They have multiple pilsners, I tried them all. They are all clean, crisp, and refershing. They also had a killer Cold IPA. The great brewery gestalt is completed by great vibes, friendly staff, and Germanic ambiance.

    This place is a hidden gem ! Located in such a great area with local food spots to hit, you must check out this brewery too. They have an extensive beer list as well as house made cocktails and wine to choose from. They also have a great food menu to choose from. Service was very friendly and the inside is very artsy!

    Falafel burger and lentil soup
    Kandus J.

    Good food but not worth the price. The beers are pricey too. The manager made us feel very unwelcome and he was a little bit of a douche bag. We asked our server if we could upgrade our fries to the parm ones and he cut in and cut her off and was very snippy about it saying "there's not a button in the machine to do that, no substations." Poor management with over priced food.

    Beers were decent - not what I had anticipated. We got the burger, mac & cheese and a shrimp roll. All were delicious but small portions for the price. This place is very much the typical hipster hangout with overpriced food and subpar beer. Service was okay not much of it - which was not their fault.

    Halfway Crooks in Summerhill provided the perfect relaxed setting to catch the Georgia/Alabama game with a friend. We were immediately able to seat ourselves in the cozy, computer-themed taproom, which felt welcoming and had a cool seasonal ambiance (though note to future visitors: the menu rotates, so don't get too attached to one appetizer!). We kept our order quick, grabbing the Belgian Fries ($8.95) and Buffalo Wings ($15.95), paired with an Espresso Martini ($12.95) and a Hennessy Margarita ($15.95). Everything arrived hot within 15 minutes. The fries were generously portioned, crunchy, and perfectly salted. The wings, though a bit small (8 count), were cooked to perfection--tender and flavorful even before dipping into the side of house-made buffalo sauce. A major highlight was the array of incredibly flavorful house sauces, including a great house aioli and a fantastic, non-gloopy blue cheese, which elevated the entire meal.We highly recommend Halfway Crooks for a casual hang or a place to grab quality drinks and excellent pub fare. The whole experience was chill, the staff was prompt, and the unique atmosphere is definitely a draw. For those driving, a great convenience is that free parking is available just around the corner, making this easy to visit. A definite must-try in the Summerhill neighborhood.

Bartender was really nice and friendly, and we felt welcomed. I loved the Key Lime IPA and also the White Queen which has one of the best tastes with a slightly spicy kick of habanero. Pricing is almost the same as any other breweries. This place is very casual and relaxed atmosphere, dog friendly, kid friendly, host music shows, art markets, and let girl scouts sell their cookies. There is plenty of free street parking available in front of the brewery. Definitely the place to go for great craft Brews, live music and all sorts of funky, inclusive, fun events. Can't get much more welcoming. I'm looking forward to going back soon.

When we arrived, we smelled something delicious coming from the on-site food truck, heard some great live music coming from inside and there were a ton of folks inside and outside just having a good ol time.
