The weather was so breezy, mild, and nice that day, I had to look for places with outdoor dining. We saw that there were dog-friendly and had a little gated "dog park," so we decided to give this place a shot. Firstly, the service was great. The host and our server did nothing wrong. My husband had a couple of beers and thought they were great as well. That's why I'm giving 3 stars. They saved it from giving them 1. Phew. Now, with that being said, I write this review a whole day later because I cannot NOT write about our disappointment with the food itself. We ordered mozzarella wedges and fried pickles as appetizers. The fried pickles were fine, but we all took turns laughing and showing off how hollow each one of our mozzarella wedges was. It was all puff and no cheese. That was the start. Then we got our entrées. We ordered wings, a pepperoni flatbread, Cajun pasta, a chicken club sandwich, and fish and chips. My daughter liked the wings, but everything else was not good. I'm trying really hard not to use the word "terrible." My daughter described her pepperoni flatbread as, "I guess it's OK. It tastes like Chinese buffet pizza." My husband, who tries never to complain about food, said his chicken club tasted extremely burnt. I tried it and spit it out because it was so bitter. The pasta was just so very sad, and the garlic toast that came with it was even sadder. My fish and chips were not great either. No one liked the cold fries. We almost finished everything because it was late, we were starving, we're not necessarily picky, and the portions were extremely small. Again, my daughter liked her wings, so there's that. I don't enjoy writing bad reviews, but I also don't like paying a decent amount for bad food in this economy. I didn't want to complain to management because we weren't there to get anything comped, and I could already tell there was nothing I could suggest that would fix how bad our food was. I just could not, in good conscience, fail to warn the next customer about what to expect from the food read more

Stopped by Red Top Brewhouse and had a really good experience. Tried the Pine Mountain Pilsner on draft, light and refreshing and the Midnight Rider Oatmeal Stout, which was smooth and flavorful. We also ordered the Red Top BBQ flatbread, and it was very tasty. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, with Christmas music playing, and the service was quick and friendly. Overall, a solid spot for good beer, good food, and a nice time. Would definitely come back. read more

I've been to Redtop a few times now and can't really say I am blown away. Wednesdays they host a run club which is really cool. The run club brings in about 100 people and is a good time. For the most part the staff is engaged and prompt. The servers are usually great. Bartenders can be a little slow. There are various daily specials that make it pretty cheap to go have a beer and a bite. For me the beer is very mediocre but definitely drinkable. I'm not a crazy fan of the pour your own beer concept but they do offer all of the beers behind the bar and from the servers. So far I have only had the nachos and I do not recommend. I've seen burgers and flatbreads come out of the kitchen. They look pretty mid but looks can be deceiving. The space is the best part about this place. Super nice outdoor seating area with bags and fire pits. Really cool indoor/outdoor seating area upstairs. Great vibe. Needs better food and beer. read more

We had our first experience at Red Top tonight and were not disappointed! Everything was extremely clean even the bathrooms. There were six of us and we were sat immediately. Our server greeted us in less than 5 minutes and got our drinks quick. I think her name was Kate or Kaitlin, I'm not sure but she did tell us she was a new employee. We had the wings and opted to try them tossed in buffalo, lemonyaki and hot honey. All of the flavors were tasty, with lemonyaki being the overall favorite which our server suggested we try. The egg-rolls were also delicious. For dinner we ordered the pork chop, mango salmon, horseradish salmon and kids waffles. Everyone was very happy with their choices. We really enjoyed our experience and the atmosphere. Wednesdays are Jeopardy night, we didn't play but thought it was worth mentioning for others. We will be back!! read more

Always a great spot to stop in and grab a beer anytime of day. I enjoy stopping in around lunchtime. The food is extremely good for a brewery, must have a real talented chef in the back. A spacious area with an outdoor patio with fans so we can venture outside after dining inside. They have a variety of beer to select from, so I'm sure you'll find something you like. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly, lastly there are a lot of TVs inside for football, basketball, or baseball season. read more

I tried several of their craft beers, watered down and awful. Settling for a bottled beer, I ordered this and a pretzel. About what you would expect, it was ok. The place is really sinking, the upside, plenty of places to park and sit on a Friday night which should have been the first flag. The band was terrible, pandering for tips when they were done and the bartender two beers in asks if I were driving. I'll never go back, this is by far the worst place to eat and drink in Acworth. read more

Really cool brewery in Acworth. The beers here crafted by Red Top are okay. They're getting better. Their other local beers they also promote were the highlight. The food was really good. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was really delish. Service is counter order and food runners and they did fine. The ambience inside is really nice. Lots of tv's and tables for dining. The beer is getting better each time. Worth a trip. read more

Decent selection of beers on self service tap. Would like to see a few darker options. Darkest variety was one brown ale. They just opened the kitchen and started serving food. Service was a bit slow and spotty. They did say they were short a waitress so I'll give a little slack, but we sat at the table for a good 15 min before asking and finally got menus and water. The food was good. Unfortunately, I did not get the Nashville chicken sandwich I ordered. Instead I got a chicken sandwich with no sauce or jalapeños. When I said this is not what I ordered, the only remedy offered was to bring me some hot sauce. I will probably try it again and hope for better service. The setting is nice but the music was a little loud for regular conversation. read more

We have frequented Red Top a few times since moving to the area, and while the food is decent, there is a certain overly "friendly" patron that makes us feel very uncomfortable. Not sure if this individual is the owner, a family member, or what, but he is ALWAYS there, drunker than a skunk and not respectful of personal space. Just something to think about if you want to keep frequent customers. read more

Love the new menu options. But the menu is not what you get on your plate. I was so excited to get the salmon salad with goat cheese and candied walnuts but it came with no walnuts and has shredded mozzarella on it. The waitress said it was shredded goat cheese but it didn't taste like goat cheese at all. Asked for salt and pepper and never got it. I got a margarita and it was ok but cup was Full of ice so I finished in one gulp and was missing salt. This place has huge potential, I think the manager needs to just follow up on the product that is being served. The pretzel was amazing though. And the salmon on the salad tasted great. read more

What a great place to spend time with family and friends on a Sunday, OTP. I met up with some folks at Logan Park and walked over to Red Top passed the train tracks on a beautiful day in Acworth. Red Top offers plenty of space, indoor and outdoor, with amazing food and a great beer selection. I was impressed by the NE IPA which goes by Iron Hill Trail Hazy 6.3% ABV. It drinks well and has decent fruity notes but doesn't pack an overwhelming punch like some of the more modern hazy beers. There is plenty of options on the beer menu and if you think the keg popped on the self serve station it's likely that you aren't pouring correctly. Place the card on the reader and leave it there. Be the bartender you were meant to be. I discovered an awesome brunch scene with grits, French toast, and flavorful fried chicken. You can't go wrong here. I had a chance to try the bread sticks and was blown away by how buttery and soft they were. The gourmet mustard pairs well over the cheese dipping sauce. Definitely recommend Red Top if you are passing through or wanting to escape from the city for a day for some warm, welcoming townie vibes. read more

I've been eyeballing this place for a couple months now. They'll check your ID upon entry, stamp you then give you a red top card for all food & drinks (you'll pay at the front - where you were ID'ed at). We sat at the bar. Was immediately offered the drink menu as well as lunch/dinner menu. Skipped the apps went straight for entrées & drinks. After receiving our drinks & meals. The blackened chicken pasta. My husband and I were iffy w/ the chicken I received. It looked as if the inside wasn't fully cooked. We dissected a couple pieces. The center on some were slightly pink. Other pieces were fully cooked (the outer pieces). Ultimately, I decided to take this Togo - since I was unable to finish the meal. I know, you're asking, why take it home? To dissect the meal some more. 100%, the center was undercooked. In the trash it went. Onto service. The service was subpar. After we got our drinks & meals. We were never asked if there was anything else we needed. If the food was ok. Etc. she only came back to us when we stopped eating & drinking & needed Togo boxes. Aside from food and service. I personally like the restaurant/venue itself. 2 levels (inside & outside) & a tiny dog park/play area. Little fire pit w/ ample chairs around. Do I see myself coming back? Sure - in a group setting w/ friends and our pups, outside by the fire w/ drinks. Do I see myself eating here again? I think everyone deserves a 2nd chance, so possibly.. read more

You can find Red Top Brewhouse at 4637 S Main St Acworth, GA 30101 - this is the block between Maple and Park Streets right on Main - I'm not sure if there was a building here previously but the existing taproom appears to be all new construction. Parking sucks a bit right at the brewery however there's a lot across the street and down about a block if the brewery lot is full. The interior is industrial with concrete floors with many tables, brick and wood, bar signs and what you might find in a BBQ restaurant - there's a bar for drinks expanding on the beer selection - there appears to be a lot of staff on hand. As a brewpub the focus is about half on beer and half on food - the menu reminds me a bit of an old-school fern-and-brass restaurant like a Ruby Tuesdays. There's a fairly large event space upstairs that may make this place an ideal location for a large party - hint hint. I managed to sample some appetizers and try out the pour-your-own system - you're issued a card which you swipe and pay by the ounce - similar to Pour if you've every been to any of those locations (I've visited the one along the Atlanta Beltline on a number of occasions). The appetizers include staples like wings and nachos but extend into BBQ favorites like fried pickles and Mac and Cheese (their version has pork belly). There's tacos and bowls for lighter fare and Burgers, Sandwiches and Fish and Chips if you're coming as a dinner destination. For food we tried the following (most of these items came from a specials list and aren't on the regular menu): * Salmon Chips with dijon cream sauce, capers and Lemon Zest - good salmon flavors, hard to go wrong with this. * Salad with fresh raspberries, blueberries, strawberries topped with apple chip, goat cheese and strawberry vinaigrette - perfect salad, the fruit was well balanced to the tangy vinaigrette. * Steak and Potato marinated in Honey Honey Saison, soy; served with potato puree and sauteed kale - this was fan-sliced on the potato puree - I think the portion could have been double the size but the added dessert compensated (may have been the intent) * House-made Creme Brulee - pretty standard, been a while since I've seen one so we split and were satisfied. For drink we tried: * Mix Tape Side 9: Blueberry Pomegranate Sour 4/5 - Blueberry Pomegranate edition of our popular series of Berliner Weisse. * Iron Hill Trail Hazy IPA 4.1/5 - Pretty decent and well crafted NEIPA with juicy citrusy body, finishing dry, well balanced and slightly bitter with a hoppy nose. * Mercy Risin' Double IPA 3.7/5 - Pretty classic double West Coast style IPA, slightly sweet malty backbone with bitter hops throughout, finishing piney resinous and bitter. * Red Top Red Fruited Sour 3.5/5 - As fruited sours go this was a bit too tart for my tastes, so much so that theme fruit flavors were overcome by the acidity. Drinkable, but I wouldn't order another glass. * Frederiksted RIS 3.7/5 - I consider this more an old school Russian Imperial with opaque body and big roast flavors, the rum barrel added very little for me other than some lingering booziness. I thought the service pretty decent - I went up to the bar and it took a while to get someone to notice me - being able to swipe the card at the taps helps a lot - I'd recommend any beer aficianado to go that route. read more

Friendly, funny, and good conversations!! read more

Only getting 4 stars because the parking situation wasn't great. There aren't any signs directing you to parking where you won't get towed, either. For a newbie this was tough. But I found a little lot about a block down the road. We came for trivia! They do it every Monday night. The speakers are only audible for those inside, so make sure you get there AT LEAST 30 min early to grab a seat or you won't be able to hear and play along. I ordered the grilled chicken salad with balsamic. The balsamic isn't a vinaigrette like I thought it's be, and it was warm, also not the best for me personally. I like cold dressings :) But I also got the grilled lemon pepper wings for the table. The tips were a little burnt, but I like that so it was perfect for me! You get this little card at the front that keeps track of your "tab" (with drinks and with food) and they have a wall where you pour your own tap! I'm down for any place that has Sangria on tap! And this was some good, sweet sangria, too. Ladies, this bathroom is TOP NOTCH! Free lady supplies if you need any, nothing gross on the floors, and no weird smells. I definitely loved this place my first time there and will be back :) read more

Looking for a place that's more than just a where one goes to grab a drink? Here it is. We've been here from the beginning. This place has evolved from a brewery to a place friends come to celebrate birthdays, watch football, enjoy live talent and compete in trivia while getting a beer and making friends. The owner and wife had a vision. A place for neighbors to forget their troubles, enjoy food made by a chef who is an artist and keeps the menu fresh. Where you can quench your thirst with a Red Top craft beer, glass of wine, adult slushy or sweet tea. The employees are part of the family and you ( no matter if you were born in Acworth Ga or Abergavenny, Wales) are welcome. read more

Brand new, just opened! We went during the soft opening so we didn't actually get to try their beer. We had some other local guest beers.

Sometimes a review just needs to be simple and to the point, just like this brewery. Very clean, quick and friendly staff, ample seating options, great selection of beers both local and house brewed, DOG FRIENDLY outdoors with their own dog park, amazing food pairing options! Late to review this place, for ive been a few times now. Thoroughly enjoy my experience every time! Great place to invite friends and chill. Beware: your tab will get up there with the self serve beer pours! Lol but thankfully you can put a maximum, or else they'll cut you off around 32 oz. Ordered food both times and was always impressed with service speed, food quality and taste. Their hummus was a but oily and the celery could look better, but that would be my only criticism. CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THEIR FISH AND CHIPS OR CHICKEN TENDERS yummmy, drooling now read more

July 11, 2020 Driving through Acworth on our way to a different brewery I was thinking how nice it would be if this quaint little brick town had one. Low and behold my prayers were answered. A brand spanking new brewery opening their doors in a "pre-opening" but will have a "Soft-opening" and "Grand Opening"on August 1st and September 12th. Today, locals were greeted with free tours of the would-be restaurant which will feature pretty cool menu options to pair with their own beer options. They were selling tickets, $15 for three beers, a steal, and had canned as well as draft beer options, but their own beer was not yet available for sale. I chose the Lundi IPA and Scofflaw IPA. I understand their own beer will feature an IPA, DIPA, Honey Saison, and a cherry lager. The restaurant will feature a short list of menu items and a home made Icecreme. Sounds very exciting. Named after the local Red Top mountains the building is painted in a nice red color and housed in a modern new construction with a second floor porch. The brewery will also be available for private events. We can't wait to come back again when they open up for the grand opening day. read more

Went back after a two year break after it went downhill before. Spoiler Alert: still falling. Food: bland and soggy. Service: lazy. I was having a work meeting there and arrived early. Ordered an appetizer to wait. When the rest of the part arrived waitress brought water- never asked anyone for a drink or a food order. We met for a bit and then decided to go somewhere else that wanted our business. Management: walked by 7x messing with money and yelling about soup being in special. Never spoke to any customers. I give up. read more

We've been a few times since they began serving food again. The food and service are hit or miss. Twice in less than 2 months additional items were added to our bill. We had different servers both times. Once the server had added several drinks even though we weren't drinking. It was very easy to spot when they gave the total. But, it was less noticeable the second time. Maybe it's a coincidence but we check every item on the bill while the server stands over us. Or, we eat before we go (trivia) to ensure we won't have a bill. read more

Absolutely amazing service, and amazing people working here ! Loving all the things they're trying to do for our community!!!

Really cool concept at this brewery! It's a self-serving kinda thing and you can use a card to keep track of how much you drink! It's a really fun place and the setting is very chill. The food is damn good, just a little on the greedy side though. Still great!! read more

Was looking forward to checking this place out, unfortunately it was a disaster. Walked in the door and immediately a Q&A began. Put a wristband on and took my Amex and gave me a "beer card" it's a self service bar ok fine got it. Sat down although many staff were having fun at the bar couldn't get waited on. Finally an employee came over and we were told go to the bar to order and we can go pick food up when it's ready. Poorly managed at best. They changed me $1.02 to sit at the table!!! They said oh we've never seen that happen but didn't do anything so we walked out. The best part about this learning never to go back. Thankful 1885 a great restaurant was close by. read more

What a neat place. Not gonna lie, parking is tough. Not enough spaces for the volume of people. But, worth the walk. This is one of those places where you pour your own beer. Insert your card and get as many ounces as you want in your glass. I like that they require a new glass with each pour. No worries, there are always clean glasses waiting. We didn't get any food so I'll have to check that out next time. Highly recommend. read more

I still really like it here, but I've been a couple of more times, and it does have a few flaws. No one seems to know where you can get full service vs. where you must go to the counter. Who am I tipping if I do all the running around? Upstairs was comfortable but offered no attention from wait staff. The mac & cheese was good, but the pork belly should be seared to caramelize then added across the top; this is just white fatty chunks stirred in. The chicken fingers are very good, fries only okay. I like the fried pickles pretty well. The pretzel sticks were decent, especially good with the mustard, not the beer cheese. My husband gets frustrated with the beer wall because he doesn't know how to get the perfect pour without too much foam or wasted space. Maybe they need a bartender giving lessons. On the whole, I still love the vibe, the options, and most of the food is pretty good. read more

Be prepared for chaos if you want to order food or drinks. It's utter insanity. Step 1. Go to podium, give a credit card (automatically draft your card for $25). Step 2. Go to next podium across the room to order your food. You will be given a beeper when food is ready. Step 3. If you just want water and a piece of lemon you go to the kitchen area for the water, no ice, then to the bar for the lemon. By now I'm exhausted. Step 4. Buzzer goes off. Go pick up my own food. Ordered the grouper plate. Grouper was dry, Brussel sprouts were cold but tasty, and under seasoned rice. Blahhhhhh. Step 5. Check out, ho back to podium step 1 or to step 2 spot. "BEWARE" just dropping your card in the box they with automatically add a 20% tip. FOR WHAT...I did all the work. I asked for an actual receipt and glad I did. They added a $10 Sangria to my bill. I don't drink. Had to wait to get that removed. It was bingo night. That was fun and glad I went. Next time I'll eat at home before I go. It's too much work and then they want a TIP Hilarious and ballsy if you ask me. read more
