Planning a memorable gathering starts with choosing the right venue, and Underground Tap & Grille is one of the premier North Georgia restaurants for private events and special occasions. Located in downtown Dahlonega, our restaurant offers a one-of-a-kind setting for rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, birthday celebrations, business dinners, afterparties, and more. We make event planning simple and personalized by creating an experience that fits your guest count, style, menu, and budget. From incredible food to handcrafted signature drinks, here's everything you need to know about hosting your next event with us.
Step 1: Reach Out to Our General Manager
The first step in event planning is getting in touch with our General Manager, Brendon Melanson. Simply email brendon@undergrounddahlonega.com to start the conversation. During your initial discussion, you'll share details like your preferred date, estimated guest count, and the type of celebration you're planning.
Since every event is unique, we'll work with you to determine the best setup for your group and answer any questions you may have throughout the planning process.
Step 2: Choose the Right Space for Your Event
One of the biggest advantages of hosting your event at Underground Tap & Grille is the flexibility of our venue. We can accommodate a variety of seating arrangements and event sizes.
Depending on your needs, you may choose to reserve:
The entire restaurant
The full patio
The back bar
The patio and back bar together
Other customized seating arrangements
Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner or a large celebration, our team will recommend the space that best fits your event and creates the atmosphere you're looking for.
Step 3: Create a Custom Food & Beverage Experience
Unlike venues with fixed catering menus, we believe your event should reflect your vision. As part of our event planning process, you'll have the opportunity to discuss menu ideas with our chef, including off-menu selections designed specifically for your gathering.
Of course, your guests can also enjoy many of Underground Tap & Grille's favorite menu items along with our handcrafted signature drinks, creating a dining experience everyone will remember. Whether you're looking for elevated comfort food, shareable appetizers, or custom entrees, we'll help build a menu that fits your event.
Step 4: Finalize Your Event Details
Because every celebration is different, food and beverage minimums are determined based on your guest count and the amount of food and signature drinks that will need to be prepared.
Deposits and payment schedules are also customized according to the size and scope of your event. Our team will clearly outline these details during the event planning process, ensuring there are no surprises before your big day.
