The trout…read moresandwich with fries was a standout, and the fried green tomato appetizer paired nicely with the gastrique, greens, and spicy pimento cheese. The burger and tater tots were also very good. The menu offers a wide variety of specialty burgers with plenty of customization options, including grass-fed beef for a small upcharge. Fair prices for the quality and quantity of food--definitely left in a food coma. Service: Service was efficient and the food came out well-prepared. No major issues during the visit. Atmosphere: Located in downtown Dahlonega, making it easy to explore nearby shops and dessert spots before or after your meal. The tavern has a darker, eclectic vibe with artwork, punk music, and a slightly edgy feel. The décor fits the restaurant's origins and personality, though the lighting--including in the restrooms--is quite dim. Parking downtown can be somewhat difficult during busy times.

First off thank you to our server Mattie for taking great care of us throughout our dinning experience. We started off our meal with the Mac and Cheese bites Mattie suggested and they were delicious. Then we moved on to our main courses. I went with the All American Chili Burger and fries that were very good. My better half went for the turkey burger and pasta salad enjoying every bite. We highly recommend you stop in and give this hidden gem a try. No pun intended it was a mining town at one time. The atmosphere was a great local vibe. We will be back.

Don't skip dessert: the peanut butter pie !!

When you walk in it's huge and there's plenty of space on the inside and the outside. There are TVs here so you can actually watch a game while you're drinking. The staff was super cool and very very friendly so I appreciate that they do everything in house because it's a distillery but they have some very creative drinks. If you want to go and sit outside, that's a good spot to be in because there's plenty of space out there. They have a patio out there as well that is very easy to chill at. Overall I don't really have any complaints. The menu isn't huge but it's enough to get you over. If you're passing it, I would definitely say it'd be a good time to try.

Mixed feelings on this place. The beertender was super friendly and educated about the beer. The…read moreplace is intimate with most of the inside taken up with the equipment and bar. There's the bar, a few high top tables, and a nice long picnic table for communal drinking. There are plenty of tables outside. The beer flight I had didn't really have anything that was exceptional. I was told some Germans thought their version of an Oktoberfest was good, but not in my opinion (although I am not German, I do drink a lot of German beer). The Mom-in-Law really liked the Irish red ale (which the beertender admitted was more of a scotch ale). The Lanier Lager and the stout were probably the best of the bunch. I think the beer is still good enough to come hang out and check out Fergus and Hamish, the cows.

The atmosphere inside doesn't remind me of an upscale winery, tables were cramped and tons of TVs were on showing sports. Food was good though!! The calamari was delicious and I loved the side sauces it came with. The mozzarella delight is amazing for mozzarella stick lovers because of the amount of cheese and perfect breading with sea salt on top. The vodka sauce pizza was okay, the prosciutto made it pretty salty but I really liked the pesto drizzled on top. The pappardelle was also good. The apple crisp skillet was mid. Wish the apples were cut up into smaller, easier to eat pieces. Our server forgot we moved inside and we saw our food sitting at the table outside and had to bring it in ourselves. Overall: pretty location and good food, service and interior aren't up to par if you're looking for a classy, high-end dinner experience I would pick somewhere else.

Dahlonega has lots of interesting twists and turns and back alley shops and some shops blended in so well with other places, that a random door opens up to more unique experiences. So, that's how we found this place. We were waiting to get our names in for Bourbon Street Grille, and this random door behind us boasted wine tasting. I thought it was just a one room deal behind us. When you see the door and the shop, you'll fully understand. If you like wine, this is worth it and a MUCH better deal than the Wine Festival (which is what we came for). It's not a big place and technically only has about 8 seats at the bar for tasting. Thankfully, it seemed all the festival goers didn't know about this place (bc it's totally a Harry Potter hidden type of deal) so we got 4 seats. The kids roamed around the shop while we tried wine. The flights are $12/$16 based off the wines you want. They have white, red, blended and rose. Oh, check in on Yelp and receive one free taste of any wine (I used mine)!!! I did the Rose, Merlot, Vidal Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and the Petit Manseng. Loved the Merlot (had a spicy after taste) the most! Then the Pinot Grigio. The Petit Manseng is their strongest wine but was my least favorite. However, I tasted the Trillium from someone else's in our group and LOVED IT. We ended up buying a bottle of Mtn Harvest Red plus the Apfelwein (the lady described it so well and made us want to get a bottle). I can honestly say I had such a buzz from the flight that I stopped drinking when we went to go eat. The wine was really good and certainly hit, so be careful! Totally worth checking this place out, if you can find it!!!

So glad it did!! This is in the public shopping center. I guess is what they call it a little bit south of town and it really is a higher end Mexican restaurant with excellent decor and super clean and a great staff. There was just two of us that we went and sat at the bar, which was empty, cause it was relatively early in the afternoon around 5 o'clock, but what a gorgeous bar! Ashley was our bartender. I think she was relatively new, but got us a margarita and I actually went for a beer after I got there and we looked at the menu to decide what we wanted to eat.
