He also has great communication skills and the bartenders were excellent They also have great customer service!!! They offer a wide variety of different beers and some frozen drinks as well. The place is very spacious and neatly organized. I'll definitely be returning sometime soon!

    Great local brewery with a wide variety of drinks. This brewery offers, not only an outstanding selection of beers, but also scotch, vodka and even frozen frozen drinks. Definitely a warehouse brewery…. Nothing fancy, but great indoor and outdoor seating with a huge outdoor TV. Tonight there was also an independent barbecue stand set up outside. Staff is terrific. A favorite meeting spot for locals. Parking could be a little challenging on busy nights.

    One of the best breweries in Atlanta. Always have a great time whenever I come. The food and drinks are at a great price. The ambiance and the decor are both amazing, but I just cannot decide which I enjoy more. Anyways, definitely would recommend to anyone to check this place out.

    Quiet on a Saturday afternoon, there were only a couple of other folks in this large space. Patio seating but a bit too warm outside. Inside surprisingly cool with fans going. We had one beer each and it was tasty. Not my favorite of the day but still a good beer. I can see returning to Scofflaw when the food trucks are here and the place is perhaps a bit more lively.

    Great brewery environment. I’m a huge fan. Atlanta has some of my favorite breweries and I’m happy to add this one to the list. Cool atmosphere, nice folks and a great selection. They also have a really cool brand. Not a ton of parking but it’s just because everyone knows its a fine spot so the space fills up quick.

    My first destination anytime I visit Atlanta GA area, and well worth the trip. A good friend brought me beer from this place years ago when we worked a photo gig in TN, and I have been loyal ever since. The taproom is open air, no AC and they have a huge patio area that has the welcoming vibe cranked past 11. If you like IPA, and Hazy style IPA beers this is a solid destination for your beer drinking adventures. Only complaint, I wish Scofflaw beer was served on Delta airlines as opposed to Sweetwater ;) .

    So, I thought it would be great to go enjoy Atlanta for my birthday, but decided to see where my favorite beer is brewed along the way. It was really cool! They wouldn't charge me for my one beer (driver) and then in conversation, I offered them my wife's favorite beer (Stout at the devil, Straight to Ale Brewery, Huntsville) and they gave me some beer to enjoy while I visited Atlanta. Everyone was awesome and ready to make your visit enjoyable. Love their beer and will continue to keep my fridge stocked in Huntsville AL. Thanks y'all...highly recommended and if you can't get there, find their beers on the grocery shelves. They have a great variety

    Great brewery with a fantastic grass patio area with lots of games and a big projector screen for showing sports. Dogs are allowed outside. Lots of beer choices. For non-beer fans they have hard seltzers.

    Decided to drop by today after someone recommended it. It was pretty quiet for a Saturday afternoon. The staff working the bar was very friendly and welcoming. I decided to try the frozen watermelon rita since it was so hot. It was strong and delicious! Hubby ordered the hooligan beer. It was a nice spot to sit enjoy the breeze and have a drink. Would definitely return and recommend!!

    Great brewery with a large outdoor seating area. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. Their beers are phenomenal and while I never thought I would be into this seltzer trend they have changed my mind. Beware the high gravity, wicked good, but will have you one eyed before you know it.

    A great place to spend the afternoon with friends! Plenty of outdoor seating at picnic tables with lighting. A good selection of beers if you like IPAs or crisp hard seltzers. Also, they are very dog friendly!

    We had a Backcountry Hunters and Anglers Georgia Chapter event called a pint night here. They were super helpful in the planning phase, we had a dedicated area and when our group was 50% larger than I had anticipated they rolled with it. Great selection of beer and fun atmosphere.

    One of my favorite breweries! Always has large selection to choose from. Especially on their anniversary events. If you like IPAs then this is the brewery for you.

    From out of town. Took the advice of a local to check out this out of the way brewery (we were staying in Midtown). It was worth the drive, we loved it. The seasonable IPA actually had flavor which is fairly rare. Check it out!

  • 4/5 Tommy K. 4 years ago on Google
    Not bad, but also nothing noteworthy. Most of the beers were good, the goat’s milk bordered in excellent. Overall definitely a place worth visiting, probably not a place worth driving out of the way for. It does have a ton of space, both indoor and outdoor, so it’s great for a hangout.

    Beers were really solid and that included the non tradition styles like Czech lager and cold IPA. I was pleasantly surprised. They have done so much to the brewery over the years. Large indoor space with plenty of seating, two stores (card shop and merch) and a huge outdoor area with huuuuge TV wall, basketball court and several other outdoor activities / games. Really well done!

    Snuck in right before they closed, almost nobody there but they rocked it and gave us some damn good drinks. I didn’t get any pics of the drinks since we were trying to get a few down in a few minutes. Either way, damn good beer, amazing location with TONs of food nearby. Scofflaw is a must.

    Great spot for a drink and gathering. Shaded areas.. plenty of seats .. a big screen and a hoop. Shoot a three.. a single or a simple layup

  • 5/5 Jeremy L. 4 years ago on Google
    Outstanding IPA! I don't even like IPA's. I live in Florida and my son that lives in Atlanta bring me a case every time he visits. Sure wish he'd visit more. Not just because of the beer transport, but... ok maybe 90% of the reason. :)

  • 3/5 Jon B. 4 years ago on Google
    Brewery is ok. Beer is phenomenal. Definitely worth checking out

  • 5/5 Hemin P. 3 years ago on Google
    Hosted my College Graduation party over here. All my guests really enjoyed the place, ambiance, and all the Crew members of Scofflaw place. Perfect place to be with large group of people with ample of place to social distance. Shoutout to Brittany for constant communication and arrangements.

  • 2/5 Taylor A. 3 years ago on Google
    The employees and atmosphere were nice, but the rest of the experience was unfortunate. (This was about a year ago and I forgot to review then - forgive me for the google kick) they had nothing darker than a lager and I’m a dark beer person, so I personally didn’t get anything. My husband and friend got IPA’s and both did not like them. (I tried them and they did not sway me to IPA’s) My husband couldn’t even finish his. Maybe we got a bad pour of both of the beers, but both of them felt bloated and sick afterward. They were syrupy and the carbonation was overwhelming. Maybe we will give this brewery another shot, but as it stands, it was not an enjoyable experience beer-wise, especially for my friend who enjoys just about every IPA they’ve ever had.

  • 5/5 Katie L. 3 years ago on Google
    Great beer, nice people, appropriately Covid cautious (masks and spaced tables).

  • 1/5 Taylor R. 2 years ago on Google
    Super negative experience there today. Arrived at opening and the bartender was incredibly rude to my partner and acted like us being there was an inconvenience to her. We then sat in the sun with a flight of 4 beers and within 10 minutes of sitting down, she came out and asked us to move for a party that was happening later in the day. The outdoor seating is nice because it’s open to dogs but it smells terrible. Overall bummer of an experience.

  • 5/5 Bianca M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is an awesome brewery! There is plenty of space and they have a large variety of drinks, even for those who aren't beer drinkers. They also have cute merchandise. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. Pricing isn't bad either.

  • 5/5 Drew M. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite breweries in Atlanta. I have celebrated my last two birthdays at Scofflaw... and I hope I'll be there again to celebrate this year (2021) as well.

  • 5/5 Quintin K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great beer at reasonable prices with tons of seating! Scofflaw isn't as crowded as many Atlanta breweries, due to the huge outdoor taproom and more industrial location. The fruity beer and IPAs are the real attraction here. This is a must-see on an Atlanta brewery tour.

  • 5/5 Khaz B. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm an Atlanta native, having moved out of the state in 2016. I came back to visit scofflaw after hearing about it opening after my departure. I couldn't be more thrilled about my experience, top-to-bottom. Special thanks to Ed, whom was exceptional in his service and knowledge. The beer is fantastic, the atmosphere is spacious, and most importantly-- the people are what make this Atlanta spot exceptional. Visiting Scofflaw made me remember all of the best and most wonderful things about my city. Don't think twice about going. After five years of absence from the street I grew up on, this brewery was a representation of the best of us. Go.

    Loved my experience at Scofflaw Brewing Co. The pretzels are even amazing! Affordable entertainment and they are philanthropic also. Purchase The Resilience beer “Goat Head Crowler” for proceeds going to the forest fires in California.”

    Scofflaws 4th anniversary party was amazing!!! Had all the great absentium brews on TAP plus and the new releases! Loved it! Will definitely be back soon!!!

  • 5/5 Nathan T. 3 years ago on Google
    Always a great drink selection across beers (IPAs high on the list), hard seltzer, and even some sours. Plenty outdoor space kid and pet friendly. One of fav brewery in ATL

  • 3/5 Em 1 year ago on Google
    We went to the FSU alumni event and it was a great crowd. The only unfortunate part is our experience was the seriously negative attitude from the older female bartender with short black hair. It was clear she did not want to serve us and rudely pushed people along in the line, staring them down while looking at the menu. Not sure if she was just in a bad mood but we weren’t the only ones who noticed. Would definitely hope management addresses it since staff (especially bartenders) and customer service will absolutely make or break an experience at an establishment like this.

  • 3/5 Nabrin N. 1 year ago on Google
    I do like the brewery itself but I was really surprised by how inaccessible the place is. The wheelchair lift is surrounded by heavy picnic tables and almost blocking the whole thing. It’s like a maze and I doubt a wheelchair would even fit through it. There is no ramp so the wheelchair lift is the only way to get in while in a wheelchair. The door also swings open towards the lift which is another problem because someone would have to hold it wide open to get a wheelchair past the door and inside the brewery. Something to improve on.

    Stopped by here on a whim on my way back to the hotel after visiting Sweetwater. Glad I did! Great little place with fantastic beers! Pretty small taproom with large bay windows, a few long bench tables for seating, a small bar that is for serving only (no seating), and a nice outdoors area with seating and plenty of room. Not much of an atmosphere as it's just a basic brick building, (I'm assuming this was some sort of garage or repair shop in it's former life). But the beer certainly makes up for any shortcomings. They had several different beers on tap, although no stouts or porters on when I was there. They also had several seltzers on tap as well. While they were dark beer deficient, I did have some really juicy IPAs that were top notch! This place is definitely worth your time!

  • 5/5 Brittany K. 10 months ago on Google
    *review of their Columbus GA location. Great location and atmosphere. It’s a very large space that has both indoor and outdoor seating (covered and uncovered seating). The drinks are refreshing and they have a wide variety. The bartenders are friendly and quick. Will be back!

  • 5/5 David S. 6 months ago on Google • 87 reviews
    The outdoor space is next-level: All turf, picnic tables, bocce, half basketball court, four square, connect four, corn hole (bags), and a huge outside big screen. Inside has tables, merch and large bar. Food options are limited, but I didn't eat, so no comment there. Location is wheel chair accessible, with a lift for getting inside. The beer options are great, you really can't go wrong. Cheers!

  • 5/5 John M. 3 years ago on Google
    Only IPA's. Amazing. 3y update: Much has changed since I first visited & reviewed. Everything from the decor to the menu. They now offer seltzer, frozen drinks, vodka & gin by the bottle, double & triple strength beers, and not just IPAs anymore. They have a good selection of merch too if you wanna rep the brand. Outdoors is a huge, gated, paved lot that is definitely dog friendly. People say it's "kid friendly" but there's really just a basketball goal, a few board games indoors, plenty of gated area to roam around, and other kids to keep the kids busy. Outdoors can get HOT in the summer and cold in the winter, so dress appropriately. Still a winner in my book and it just keeps getting better.

  • 3/5 Ryan Adam M. 3 years ago on Google
    Beer was great! It's just sad and disheartening to see so many breweries including this one put aside our environment and switch to 100% only plastic cups. Without the Earth there will be no more beer.

    They have a huge selection of beers and seltzers. Outdoor seating, as well as indoor. Great place to get a beer and enjoy lunchtime!

  • 5/5 Sam F. 3 years ago on Google
    This brewery is well known for its IPAs, so if you're interested in ABVs averaging in around 6-7% a drink and flavored with plenty of hops, I highly recommend this place! They also have Hard Seltzer here in case you're not the biggest beer consumer. Their seltzer is absolutely fantastic, not too crazily carbonated (doesn't feel like a Mc. Donald's Sprite), and has a flavor for everyone. Their flavors range from peach, lime, cherry, and a seltzer version of their POG Basement (passionfruit, orange, and guava flavored!). Their Hard Seltzer is probably my favorite on the market and I encourage you to give it a try if you want to drink something besides their IPAs. They have been taking the appropriate precautions of disposable cups, sell a house-made hand sanitizer on-site, and have spread out their tables inside and out to accommodate social-distancing. I recommend to come here when it's sunny, as when it rains it forces everyone inside the warehouse and can be hard to distance as a result. Great place overall!

  • 5/5 Korrie M. 3 years ago on Google
    This place has something for everyone. Mixed drinksa and hard seltzers at a brewery are hard to come by...

    First of all I really enjoy your beer.Had a quick question, unfortunately my wife is not able to enjoy them due to her allergy. So, I noticed that you guys put out the seltzer but I was wondering if it is Gluten free.Is it because you use the same equipment as to make it as you do with beer?

  • 5/5 chris g. 4 years ago on Google
    Great beer. Great staff. Shout out to Brad!

    I haven’t visited the brewery, but I’ve enjoyed both basement and POG many times. Just wanted to be the 420th comment. That is all.
