We've been regulars for a long time, usually popping in once a week for tacos and a drink, hoping each visit will be "the one" where everything finally clicks. There was a promising stretch when Ian was managing. Food quality went up, service felt dialed in, and HYDE seemed to be finding its footing. Since he left, the experience has slipped into what I'd describe as "depends on the night and the moon phase." Exhibit A: the margaritas. We've waited close to 40 minutes more than once. Not for a complicated chef's cocktail, or something smoked under a glass dome. Just a standard margarita. At the 25 minute mark, you start speculating about whether someone is hand harvesting sea salt in the parking lot. By minute 35, you're convinced they're distilling the tequila in a basement barrel and blessing the limes under a full moon. When your drink shows up later than your patience, it kills the vibe pretty fast. Food is similar. Some days, the tacos are fresh, bright, well seasoned, and plated like someone cared. Other days, they look like they fell apart on the way over and someone just shrugged and sent them anyway. We've also had incorrect orders enough times that sending plates back is basically a standing tradition at this point. Ingredient changes have shown up recently too, like new fries and chips. As longtime customers, it feels like cost cutting, and that's usually a red flag that business has dipped. Swapping ingredients to save a few dollars rarely turns things around. It's more often the first step toward empty seats. Which is the frustrating part, because HYDE truly has potential. The space is cool. The embedded Ceviche concept is unique. The community honestly wants this restaurant to succeed. But it needs stronger leadership, steadier service, and more consistent execution if it wants people to come back the way they used to. We're still rooting for HYDE. Because when the drinks arrive before you age 10 years and the tacos are right, it can hit just right. Bring back the quality, tighten up the service tempo, and deliver consistently, and HYDE could absolutely be the neighborhood spot everyone wants it to be. Until then, we'll keep crossing our fingers... and maybe pre gaming our margaritas at home.

It's rare to find a setup as good as this, especially at a brewery. It's truly something you would find in a nursery in someone's home or at a daycare. With an upset baby and a full diaper, to walk upon this just lifted about half of my stress away and made the whole baby changing experience so much more enjoyable for both baby and I. As a new mom, this is truly a game changer and so good to keep in the back of my mind anytime I am out and about with my family in downtown Alpharetta. I also feel like it's important to mention that they have a back patio as well as seating on the front patio. I think the back often gets overlooked or missed, but it's a super cute little back deck with a few Adirondack chairs. Pets are also welcome!

Variant Brewing is a must visit!…read more If you are a fan of well crafted beer, especially IPAs, you need to check out Variant. The beers are all incredible. The space is quite stunning and absolutely beautiful. There are tons of windows bringing in natural light making the space bright and welcoming. It's extremely comfortable and clean. There is also a really nice outdoor space with covering that is perfect to enjoy on a summer day. There isn't food but there is usually a food truck or kitchen pop up. Hunny Jalapeno is there frequently and has delicious cheesesteaks. All of the staff are super knowledgeable about the beer and passionate about it.

While I'm sure the health part might be debatable, what's not if that Variant Brewing has the cure for what ails you. A great selection of beers, casual atmosphere, and good service at the counter is exactly what the Doctor ordered. I've tried Variant beers in a lot of local watering holes, but this was my first time here. Had a chance to try a few different beers, from IPAs to Sours to Lagers, and all were done really well. Seating, both indoor and outdoor is comfortable and casual, with an overall great feel for socializing or jutlst enjoying a brew. Would definitely return.

You can see the beer being brewed right in the seating area. Yes, ask the owner how it's going he's going to share with you. If you need to get out for the night stop by, get a pizza next door ( they will deliver it to you too). Come hang out have a beer or seltzer, this is the place to be in the weekends. When it warms up the outdoor seating will be perfect too. I highly recommend this hidden gem. Cheers!!!

The mango was probably my favorite, but they were all really fresh and tasty. There is a full menu, but it is mostly seafood. They do have some salads, snacks, and handhelds that don't consist of seafood if you are looking for something without shellfish. The menu has actually expanded a lot since they first opened which was nice to see!

Right in heart of Alpharetta . Nice indoor seating : they also have rooftop seating . Was cold today and we preferred indoor seating . The local brews were really good . Loved the hazy IPA that they gave . Cost was slightly higher than the breweries in New England and NJ . Service could have been better . Costed about 32 $ for 3 cups of beer . Slightly expensive IMO . No food since we dropped in after 9 pm. They could atleast have had simple food items / chips etc but they didn't sell anything . Was tough to sip the beer without anything on the sides . Liked it overall but could have been much better .. 4 stars
