    We came here for a birthday dinner before going to a concert at the Mercedes Bens Stadium. The service was excellent, all of the meals were fantastic and beverages were excellent. I personally had the Ribeye Steak and it was exceptional. I would definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try.

    We had a very large group, around 20 folks. Server was great, but the food came out as it was done, so some had finished eating before others got their food. Steak was delicious.

    This place was awesome! The atmosphere is nice. We went for an early dinner on Sunday and it was empty and we didn't have to wait. I got a beer flight and everything was good. They have pretty high ratings on house beers, which you don't often see. The pretzel app was good. My burger was great, my wife had the salmon which was great. My kid even loved the fish and chips, and that's a high bar to meet. I'd definitely go back. My kid really thought it was awesome they had a game table and game system there to play, so if we go back I'm sure we'll end up at those tables. The only small downside is the bar/nightclub next door. Walking there from the fox was interesting, they were busy early on a Sunday and had three cops stationed outside. I have to wonder why they need those cops. But, once you get in, it's quiet and you'd never know, I'm just not sure I'd go there at night with the family.

    I've been meaning to try this place out and I'm so glad that I finally did. They have this deal on Mondays called Burger Mondays and it's a double-patty cheeseburger with fries and an in-house beer for $12 dollars. The burger blew me away, the fresh-cut fries were well spiced (probably too salty for the average palate but I actually prefer it that way), and the beer that I chose (a fantastic dark Mexican lager) was the perfect pairing. The service was very polite, attentive, and my meal came very fast. I've been sleeping on this place and plan on coming back again.

    This place is trendy, affordable, and serves delicious food. Good place to watch sports, try weird beers, or snack on alcoholic gummy bears. The food was delicious, though the Parmesan fries aren't quite worth it. Their menu has changed significantly in the past couple years so don't expect to get the crazy options you may see posted on Yelp. Still, a good time and experienced serving staff.

    This is a great place in downtown Atlanta to grab dinner and a drink. It's near lots of other bars and restaurants, and it's open late so it's perfect for the pregame, the main event, or even the after party. We went before we saw a play at the Fox Theater, which was less than a ten minute walk away. They offer guests free parking at a nearby (1 minute walk) apartment complex's parking garage, so that's a huge plus as well. The two-story restaurant is beautifully decorated and dimly lit for a really cozy feel. We loved their huge selection of beer, as well as their menu which had everything from great appetizers to thick burgers and great sandwiches. I also really enjoyed their boozy gummy bears--a super fun and unique treat!

    Food and drinks were on point. Steak was cooked to perfection. Fries were very very fresh. The Capri Fun was a lot of fun and the Atl Mule was yummy with a piece of candied ginger for garnish. Can't wait to go back and try other menu items. Oh and the poutine was the best I've had in ATL ever!!!!

    Great brewery with bar and table areas. Gorgeous building, easy parking (huge for Atlanta 😁) Food was delicious, drinks are unique (mescal margarita 🍹) and very tasty. Staff is pleasant and efficient!

    Cool repurposed space! Beers and ciders we're OK. One cocktail had to be replaced as determined undrinkable. We enjoyed wings and fries this trip. We'll give it another try.

    I always wanted to visit it when I liver in Atlanta, but for some reason that never happened. This time I could do this and really enjoyed my time there. It is a very beautiful place, pretty big indoors beer garden. It was a late afternoon, not too much people. The bartender, John, is a great guy, as well as visitors- very easy going people. Huge list of their own beer as well as a few guest positions. Wings are good, also the prices are acceptable. Defiantly recommended!

    Outstanding beers and a large variety. I had the 10 piece wings special on Wednesday which was great.

    The burger and beer were incredible! And much less expensive than similar items at other places. The decor was interesting and enjoyable, but the best part of my visit was our server Julianna. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and just the right amount of outgoing. We will definitely be back!

    After agreeing to go out to eat I executed a search on Yelp for “Impossible burger” and Torch was what appealed to me the most… As a frequent visitor of the Ponce area, I was surprised that I had never been here, however, now was as perfect a time as any. Upon arriving, there’s parking on the side street next to the location, both street and parking deck so parking was a breeze. The outside is very simplistic as is the whole design aesthetic of this particular strip, however, when you walk in the first word that comes to mind is wow. The brewery concept captures you from the door. The shiny hardwood floors radiate the light from above, yet, the environment isn't too bright. The young lady at the front was very welcoming and let us know that the kitchen would be closing shortly and to head to the bar to place our orders. Upon arriving at the bar the bartender was all smiles and very inviting. According to my receipt he was (Bartender “PM B”). After exchanging pleasantries and him pointing out some highlights on the menu we ordered an Impossible Burger and a Bacon Burger. Upon placing our order we took our number and seated ourselves. We sat towards the back on the main level as the view of the brewery equipment was captivating. The feel of the restaurant is casual and presents a perfect setting for any kind of night. The downstairs area had a game area and was entertaining a group of people who were all laughs and joy. This is definitely a great after work “grab a drink and bite” kind of area. The upstairs has more of an intimate vibe for a low key date night, friends dinner, etc. When the waitress brought our food to the table the night took a turn for the worst as it relates to service. She presented the plates at the table and said “two burgers?” I said yes and inquired as to which was the Impossible and her answer was “I don’t know!” Furthermore, when I asked if there was a way to visually tell which was the Bacon Burger, she again expressed she didn’t know… As you can imagine the confusion on my face she offered the explanation of “I just walked in from break and they told me to bring these to the table!” Oh my! This truly shifted the entire vibe of the night as my friend hasn’t eaten beef in 20 years and the wrong bite could make the night even worse. To Note: The Bacon Burger doesn’t have strips of bacon as that would have made the visual inspection easier. This burger has the bacon crumbled within the ground beef itself. Nonetheless, I had to do it the old school way and smell the meat as we know Impossible and Real Beef have two different smells. Luckily my nose was spot on and we avoided any incidents. The bacon burger was good. The meat was well seasoned and the bacon crumbles were in every bite. The fixings were fresh and the bun was soft. This burger paired very well with the fries which presented a crispy outside and soft center! Based on my experience, I would eat here again, however, I would request a true indication of meat specific identification if anyone orders the impossible burger. Service: 3/10 (solely based on the burger delivery) Environment: 10/10 Vibe: 10/10 Food: 8/10

    Super cool place, we stopped in after a visit to the aquarium based on the fact that it had free parking and we wanted to try some local beers. Split the Brussels and fish and chips. Beers were good, food was great.

  • 3/5 jeff w. 9 months ago on Google • 38 reviews
    Presentation was a 10 but If your gunna have wings on the menu in Atlanta they better hit at best. Theirs were not, granted they don't advertise those but they were well below mid 👇. Beer was good. Service was great. Wasn't really busy on a Friday night, hopefully it's not because the rest of the menu is as lackluster as the wings.

  • 5/5 R C. 5 months ago on Google • 34 reviews
    This is a great brewery and restaurant. Good selection of beer and food. The inside is very spacious with 3 floors and tv projectors upstairs to watch sports. Highly recommend. Always has Auburn sports on (owners are alumni).

  • 5/5 Alejandra Gonzalez D. 4 months ago on Google
    This place is a vibeeee. The customer service always great, and I’ve yet to have anything on the food menu that wasn’t absolutely delicious. (The fried avocado is my FAVE) the beers and selection they have is also great, I love the wide variety they have. I also love the fact that there’s a seating area for folks with families or if you want table service. And to top it off the they have so many great games available to play which is always such a hit when you come with friends, especially the Nintendo64 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I highly recommend this place!!!

  • 5/5 Christopher R. 11 months ago on Google
    Very great atmosphere. Just a quick walk from the Fox Theater. They have many food options Burgers/Wings/Salmon/Fish&Chips. The Parmesan Fries are pretty decent. They do have a full bar so I switched up for a Loaded Latte (espresso vodka drink). We will be back. Finishing off with a the Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae ☺️☺️☺️

    Trendy and affordable. Stopped in while on the Pedal Pub tour and my group had a great time! Shots, shots and more shots! We finished the visit with the drunken gummy bears.

  • 5/5 Victoria M. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    I had my birthday party here. Not only did they set up a table for 25 people, they had a great server that served ALL of us, did not have any mistakes (which would have been understandable because it's a large group) and brought everything out very timely. Our server even split everyone's checks! 10/10 recommend hosting a large group here.

  • 5/5 Tom K. 1 year ago on Google
    Good beer and even better service. Didn't try any food but the majority of people eating appeared to be enjoying themselves. Would go again.

  • 1/5 Justin A. 1 year ago on Google
    Sat at the bar and got a beer while waiting for takeout; the beer was good (but not even brewed by Torched Hop, it was a “guest tap”) and when we got home we discovered the food was terrible. We found out at home that the two burgers were not cooked thoroughly and had a cool pink center (they did not specify or ask us for rare/medium/well done/etc), the pimento hush puppies were liquid batter in the center, and everything is too salty - even the fried green tomatoes and tater tots. We wasted about $100 and are now ordering Thai food as a replacement. Don’t waste your time or money here.

  • 5/5 Kristen B. 1 year ago on Google
    We live close to the Torched Hop so it has ended up being a default place for when we want to go somewhere easy and tasty. The staff are always friendly and attentive and we have had some great food and drink recommendations. The place itself is cool but always feels really quiet and that kind of throws me because I think of breweries/bars as being lively but the positive side of that is we never have to wait for somewhere to sit. We have also recently discovered it is a good place to watch sports because they have 2 tvs in the bar area, 2 large projector screens in the upstairs dining area and I think a tv or two in the lower dining/bocce ball area. The food is also pretty good. We have liked everything we have ordered but I have been especially pleased with the range of options. If I’m in the mood for wings or a cheesy-guilty-pleasure burger then I’m always satisfied with what I get. But if I’m more in the mood for something light, like a salad, then I’ve been really happy with the portion and quality of ingredients. I hate a boring iceberg lettuce “salad” and I couldn’t find any pictures of what the Torched Hop offered for salads so I took a chance one day and I’m glad I did! Beer and wine and cocktail selection is also great. I am just waiting for more people to discover this place but at the same time I love that it feels so quiet and small neighborhood.

    Stopped in for an early lunch on Sunday so the place wasn't really hopping, but it was perfect for talking pics. We loved the interior and all the wood. Friendly staff. The double cheeseburger was sooo good, and I don't think it was just hunger talking. We also enjoyed some parmesan fries. I liked my German pilsner, but we got talking so much I forgot to get feedback from the others on their beer. I definitely look forward to going back when we're in the area again.

  • 5/5 WoLoLO G. 1 year ago on Google
    Found this jewel on untapp, and what a finding it was! Independent brewery located at Ponce with a very nice variety of craftbeers, the place is beautiful and they have an N64 for you old school gamers out there. Totally loved each beer, my burger and the dessert, but to be honest the best was the stout that I had at the end, simply killer!

  • 4/5 Steve J. 1 year ago on Google
    We went here a few times when we were here for shaky knees, excellent rice lager, food not bad. Good experience, although one fish sandwich came out so ghost pepper spicy it was a surprise.

  • 3/5 Connie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge pretzel! We enjoyed the beer and lunch. The people who were lucky enough to sit at the bar received real forks and quick service. We sat at an adjacent table where we had to wait in line for each round of beer. We were given plastic forks.

  • 5/5 Rick H. 1 year ago on Google
    Local brewpub with a few award winning beers and with a consistently well regarded lineup of IPA, sour, lager, and others. Full menu of sandwiches, salads, and entrees. Comfortable and incredible service - very friendly.

  • 5/5 Arturo E. 2 years ago on Google
    great staff, great food and amazing beer. one of the best burgers I've had

  • 5/5 Dustin T. 2 years ago on Google
    My favorite place in the ATL. Wings are amazing. Seltzer are delicious and recommended the slushie topper. It's a game changer. Staff is cool and mice.

  • 5/5 Douglas S. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great microbrewery. Large space with plenty of seats, even on a busy night. Ordering system is simple and easy - order food and beer at the front, pick up your beer next to the register separately at a dedicated counter and find your seat! Their ales and porter are both world class, and the food is also tasty. With bocce, pool table and large screens, it's a perfect place to spend a couple hours or a quick meetup. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 David H. 2 years ago on Google
    Their beers are hit or miss. Often really solid, other times a bit off. However, the staff is great and the food is delicious. I also love the decor and all of the games/activities (Bocci, shuffleboard, N64, etc)

  • 5/5 Maite San S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the 3rd time that we visit and NEVER disappoints, if you go the wu fries and the double cheese burger is a must!!! Today they has the fresh hops de Leon beer and it was AMAZING!!. If you go to Atlanta Torch Hop is a must!!
