5 Best Cocktail Bars in Dahlonega

“My wife and I moved here in late February early March 2025. The Public House was the closest restaurant to where we moved, and when we didn’t have appliances, we started eating there almost every night. The staff is beyond wonderful. From Rob, the bartender who is enormously experienced and just a super guy, to Olivia and Abe and Alicia and Jade and Ryan and God knows we all love CJ the chef and Bobby, the dessert lady. I know I’ve missed some folks on here, but I wanna say that every member of the staff is awesome. The food? My wife and I have been eating there for 10 months and have not had a bad dish. That’s a pretty tough standard to meet. There’s really nothing I could add to improve on this restaurant. It’s become our second home. Give it a shot, you will not regret it.“

“Emily was a rockstar when giving us the tour and tasting experience! Big Creek is a smaller more intimate distillery that delivers on flavor! Awesome bar area for those wanting something different than just bourbon (though the bourbon is fantastic)! Especially the single barrel bourbon 🤤. Go there, take your family, and enjoy a relaxed, laid back atmosphere with great people! Cheers 🥃“

“Fantastic spot to grab a bite and a drink. Reccommend it highly.“

“Food and service was excellent. Lacie was our server, she was also excellent 👌. I would highly recommend. I had the shrimp and Tilapia over rice. Was some of the best I've had. Will be recommending to friends and family. I will be definitely going back. Also I love the decor and atmosphere. Being able to see into the kitchen gives it a personal feel.“

“We held our son's and his bride's rehearsal brunch here and the place is incredible! The new white stained deck is gorgeous! Leah and her team are great to work with and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this place to hold an event or get a fantastic meal.“
