FAQ for First-Time Visitors: What You Should Know Before You Come
Welcome to Underground Tap and Grille! If this is your first visit to our bar and restaurant, we want you to feel confident, comfortable, and ready to enjoy a great experience while dining downtown Dahlonega. From parking and reservations to what to order, here’s everything you should know before you come.
Where Do I Park?
Our bar and restaurant is located in downtown Dahlonega on the square, with public parking available nearby. Street parking and public lots make it easy to walk over and join us. On busy weekends or event nights, we recommend arriving a little early so you can find parking and get settled without feeling rushed.
Do You Take Reservations?
Yes — for parties of 10 or more. If you’re planning ahead for your big group, or visiting during peak hours, you can reserve your table through the “Buy a Table” button on our website. This guarantees seating and helps us provide the best possible service in our bar and restaurant.
Walk-ins are always welcome for any party size when space allows, but reservations give you peace of mind when entertaining a large group.
What Are Your Hours?
Our hours vary slightly by day and season, so the most accurate hours are always posted on our website and social channels. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch, dinner, or late-night drinks, our bar and restaurant offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy great food and a welcoming atmosphere.
What Should First-Time Guests Order?
One of the best ways to experience our bar and restaurant is by ordering a few shareable plates and sampling different flavors at the table. If you’re new to the menu, here are four guest favorites that are great for first-time visitors:
Birria Tacos – Braised beef tacos with Oaxaca cheese, cilantro, onion, and rich guajillo jus. A bold, flavorful favorite that works well as a shareable plate for the table.
Chorizo Empanadas – Three crispy empanadas filled with chorizo and cheese, served with guacamole and spicy taco sauce. Easy to share and packed with flavor.
Colombian Nachos – Fried plantains layered with lechona, cheese, candied jalapeños, sauces, and black beans. One of our most popular shareable plates for groups.
Pork Belly Steam Buns – Soft steamed buns filled with fried pork belly, scallions, chili, and roasted nuts — a great balance of savory and texture.
Pair a few shareable plates with your favorite drinks and you’ll get a true taste of what our bar and restaurant is all about.
