    Cowboy burger
    Mark H.

    The Distillery has reopened as of 12/18/24 following a few weeks of closure at the end of November. The interior and ambiance remains familiar. The menu has been revamped (same for lunch and dinner) with more of a "tavern" offering - burgers, chicken fingers, salads - though with a few carryover items of Jumbo Pretzel, Cheese Curds, and Keri's Reuben. The pretzel is still jumbo, hot, and delicious with beer cheese and spicy mustard. The chicken fingers are 4 massive pieces that could feed two people. The Cowboy burger on Texas toast was a taller-than-your-mouth kind of sandwich.

    Flight of brew
    Laurie H.

    The service here at Sugar Hill Distillery was very good! Max, our bartender was amazing, friendly, and very knowledgeable when it came to the beers that were brewed and served at this establishment. The food had a German flare, and was very good. We suggest the flight of beer so that you can sample four different beers during your meal. There was karaoke in the back garden... Very open air with fans and very lovely. We had a great time! I am sure we will go again. Make fabulous memories, and safe travels!

    Reuben Sandwich with Onion Rings
    Mike R.

    Run, don't walk to Sugar Hill Distillery! Somewhat new to Georgia and exploring wineries (in GA?), Distilleries, and Breweries is what's what. :) This was a bit of a drive but man 'o man was it worth it! Granted we went on a Sunday afternoon, so there was plenty of parking in the private lot, and there were plenty of tables. Staff was friendly, helpful, and while it wasn't crowded, they took their time to explain the lay of the land for the newbies. If I see cheese curds on a menu, might as well bring them out as soon as I walk in the door. Not a popular item where I'm from. These were as good as I've ever had, and who in their right mind would pair them with raspberry chipotle sauce? Sugar Hill Distillery would, that's who! Brilliant! Who knew!? Ordered and split the Rueben sandwich, which was absolutely, unequivocally divine! Mounds of corned beef, generous amount of tasty thousand island dressing all held together by the best perfectly flavorful bread I've ever had the pleasure of holding all that goodness together. Trust me, it's a generous size portion, and worth every bite! But wait, there's more . . . yes, you though it couldn't get any better, did you? IT DOES!! It's my advice, get the onion rings instead of the fries, and do yourself a favor and order and extra side of onion rings. Worth the trip, worth the pangs of a little overdoing it on the food! Oh, drinks were great, strong, and a great accompaniment for the entire experience! Are you running yet???

    We just realized they have FREE bingo here Thursdays so this week we came here versus Tannery Row. We love this place it's always busy and fun.

    Dopple Schwein
    Dawn W.

    My husband and I were in the mood for something, but it was closed today, so he started searching the area online for something and stumbled upon this place. The place is super cute, great little shop in front, and nice family style seating for the restaurant like typical German Biergartens. We started with pretzel bites that come with beer cheese, and my husband got a beer flyte. I personally don't care for the pretzel bites because they look like the same kind you get at Kroger, but deep fried, however I really like the beer cheese that has green onions and bacon on top. It's not thick and gluey like most places. Next time we will try big pretzel! Since we're here at lunchtime, I chose the Grown Up Grilled Cheese Sandwich (smoked Gouda, prosciutto. tomato on herbed Texas toast) and he got Dopple Schwein (pork cutlet, bacon, cheese, spring mix & pickled onion on Texas toast). Both were very nicely done, but I asked for mustard because it had very little prosciutto and needed something. My husband said if more places served pork cutlets done that nicely, he would eat it a lot...definitely will order again. The fries are not crispy and they look heavily seasoned, but they're not spicy; they're pretty good. The pickles are wonderful! They brew their own beer and also have their own distillery on property. They have an outside seating area as well and looks to be pet friendly. Our server, Rockie didn't make us feel hurried and was very on top of it, but she was running all over busy!

    Cheese curds and Fried pickles...one of their beers
    Caroline K.

    I'm proud of this family for starting their own restaurant and diving off into the craft beer world. Kudos to them, that's a leap. We came here to have a few beers and decide where to move on from there, so our food selections were munchies and a couple of beers. All around our visit was okay. Our beers were cold and the favors were decent. They aren't really carving a path and blazing trails with what they brew. Their menu and what I saw coming out of the kitchen looked okay. I overheard the owner introduce the new cook to a group of guys, so hopefully the menu improves and settles into some flavor and depth. Our app picks and the two sauces were lacking in salt, which I realize is a preference, but without it flavors are void and food is lacking. After adding a little bit of salt and pepper to them, they were much better. Service was mainly focused at the bar, where the most patrons where sitting. Those of us that were at the long tables, or the side tables were kinda left to fend for ourselves and at times, totally forgotten. Which was fine, we were basically just chatting about the weekend ahead and enjoying our adult time, but we probably would have stayed and consumed more beer and food, had we gotten a little better service and hadn't gone two long stretches without refills. I wouldn't come back, but I would still tell others to support and check them out.

    Love their Sugar Hill custom teeny Jenga game

    We came here for a plant sale event and discovered an absolute gem. Excellent food, drinks and service! We had incredible carrot soup and cheese curds. The server was the sweetest and let us try some beer before we decided on a yummy Pilsner (highly recommend for those of you who are like me and don't love hoppy beer). I saw they have brunch on Sundays so we will absolutely be back for that! While German fare tends to be heavy on meat, as a veggie family we were able to find some good stuff.

    Outdoor Siganage

    So the girlfriend and I stopped in and had a late lunch. I heard about this place, so we wanted to check it out. We were a little nervous when we pulled up because the parking lot was almost empty. However, it was nearly 3:00 pm, so we assumed we were in the lull between lunch and dinner. Anywho we entered, another couple was having a late lunch as well. We stepped forward towards the reception area, and we met Ann Marie. She was the hostess, waitress, bartender, food runner, and everything else that needed to be done. With that being said, she still provided excellent service. I know there were only four of us in the establishment, but we certainly appreciated her efforts. Of course, you cant visit a distillery without having a drink. The girlfriend had "The Georgia Peach," and I had "The Colonial." I apologize as I forgot to write down what was in the drinks. I do know, however, "The Colonial" has their GIN in it. I admit I'm a Hendricks man, and this was pretty good so much that we purchased a bottle to take home. (Side note: we also bought some Vodka, too!~ Don't judge us! ) Now on to the food, since it was a late lunch, we ordered appetizers which were the Flieten Chicken and fries and the Giant Riesenbrezel (pretzel). The chicken was excellent and what the menu doesn't tell you is that the fries are homemade, and they were absolutely fantastic. The Riesenbrezel was warm, soft, and had just the right amount of salt, but what made this appetizer was the sauces that accompanied this dish. There is the typical spicy mustard, honey mustard, and this beer cheese mustard which was my favorite. The place is very spacious with an outdoor seating area which is perfect now that we are approaching spring. They also have live music outside, which I assume is on the weekends. They also sell a lot of merchandise. We enjoyed looking through their store. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. We are looking forward to visiting again to experience dinner and some live music. If you are looking for something different and unique with a German Twist, I highly recommend giving them a try. You won't be disappointed. When you visit them, tell'em Drew sent ya! Yall be easy now! Drew

    "There's something magical about rooftops. You feel like you're in 'Mary Poppins."…read moreGeorge Clarke There really is something special about being on a rooftop on a perfect summer evening, and it's great to have it right in downtown Sugar Hill. I would like to say I planned the perfect date, but as some of the best things in life, this was just an impromptu visit to cap off an already great evening. Outside of being on the rooftop, the bar itself is upscale yet approachable, service was fast and friendly. Being a bit of a self engrandized home bartender I'm a bit critical when out of my home lab, but their Smoked Old Fashioned wasn't bad. ("Wasn't bad" really means very good.") While I don't love the prices and hate paying a cover charge, when you throw in live music, a great vibe, and a view, I can't really complain. The owner made an announcement that whoever tipped the band $10 would get a free drink, and since most drinks were over $15 I thought that was cool on many levels. Will definitely be back to The Rooftop!

We walked around and finally ran into a waitress who told us to sit anywhere we wished inside or outside. The only area festive was inside a closed igloo and no heaters were on outdoors which was just a tad too cool for me despite the super nice weather that day. It would have been so to sit outside but without the warmth of the heaters we headed inside. We placed our order and explained we were just there for a pre-dinner drink and wanted to check out the venue so we didn't leave our tab open but we were quickly served the fabulous taking drinks on their menu(s). The Old Fashioned was on the regular menu and the Russian was on their seasonal tabletop menu. Server was very nice and took photos for some ladies we met. The only reason I can't give them a 5 star is they claim they are big on hospitality but yet we were not acknowledged upon arrival. Many restaurants and even some retail stores have a way to ensure they say hello/welcome immediately when you enter and without a hostess - the mindset should be that the bar or wait staff have a way to immediately say hello or welcome so those who have never been feel welcomed as well as those who frequently come. It would be nice to have a more festive decor for the holidays but that didn't affect my review; just a statement to say that the entire Sugar Hill area was pumping and themed with the holiday spirit then we walked in the only area decorated was not even accessible nor was it offered as an option to enjoy.

The restaurant wasn't overly crowded -- only a few tables occupied and a handful of people at the bar -- but service was extremely slow from the start. It took about 10 minutes for our server to greet us, and another 10 minutes just to receive waters after ordering them. My boyfriend and I ordered drinks (a Raspberry Collins and a Tropicalia), along with a pretzel for the table. The pretzel was brought out by another server, and when I asked for plates, they never returned with them. I then asked our server for plates, but they still never came. Eventually, I had to ask the host to find our server, and he responded that he would "try." When our server finally came back, I had to ask for plates a third time. Our friend was finally able to order his mixed drink, and we went ahead and ordered our meals as well. The food took nearly an hour to come out, despite the restaurant having very few tables at that point. My boyfriend ordered the Nashville hot chicken, which was extremely oily and lacked flavor. I had the hibachi bowl, which was decent. Before the food arrived, I ordered another Raspberry Collins and more water, which took about 15 minutes and again was not delivered by our server. The one bright spot of the evening was the bartender -- I didn't catch her name, but she was wearing a red Falcons shirt. She personally brought my drink to the table, promptly brought us waters when asked, and even cleaned up our table. Major props to her professionalism and attentiveness, because she was the only person who made us feel taken care of. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we won't be returning. Save your time and money and try somewhere else in downtown Sugar Hill.
