4 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.“

“Josué has made the experience here at La Hacienda all that more memorable. He is very attentive, has a beautiful soul, and great sense of humor. The food, the staff, and atmosphere have been excellent. I love the decor, it’s all very beautiful and peaceful to be immersed in. I just got back to the states after traveling in Colombia for 6 weeks and it was nice to be able to continue practicing my Spanish and for Josué to be so enthusiastic about practicing with me. I look forward to my next visit. Dale!“
