Behind the Scenes: The Story of Underground Tap & Grille
Welcome to Underground Tap & Grille, a favorite restaurant in Dahlonega, GA. We’re right here on Dahlonega’s Public Square — serving up good food, cold drinks, and a place that feels like home. If you haven’t made it down yet, we wanted to take a minute to share a little about who we are, what we do, and why we love doing it.
Made From Scratch, Every Time
Our kitchen runs on one simple idea: make everything from scratch, and make it good. Around here, “scratch kitchen” isn’t just an idea — it’s how we operate. Every sauce, every marinade, every bite that hits your plate starts fresh in-house. You won’t find pre-made shortcuts in our kitchen. We like knowing exactly what goes into every dish, and we think you’ll taste the difference.
Our menu pulls inspiration from all over — bold street food flavors, a few Southern favorites, and plenty of creativity. Some of our most popular items started as experiments from our kitchen team, testing out new ideas until they got them just right. We keep things fun, we keep things flavorful, and we make sure every dish that leaves our line is something we’d be proud to eat ourselves.
Craft Cocktails Worth Hanging Around For
We take the same care behind the bar as we do in the kitchen. Our craft cocktails are built from the ground up — no mixes, no shortcuts, just fresh ingredients and balance. The bar team is always coming up with new ideas, using house-made syrups, infusions, and a lot of creativity.
Whether you’re into simple classics or something totally new, we’ve got a drink that fits your mood. Maybe it’s something bright and citrusy, or maybe it’s a smooth, smoky bourbon mix — either way, we’re going to make sure it’s poured right. We like when people stop in for dinner and end up staying a little longer because the drinks, the people, and the music all hit the right note.
The Underground Vibe
We wanted Underground Tap & Grille to feel comfortable — not fancy, not stiff, just a good place to be. The lights are warm, the music’s easy, and there’s always a mix of locals, students, and travelers hanging out.
Our spot on the square keeps us connected to the heart of Dahlonega. It’s a town with a lot of character and a lot of good food, and we’re proud to be part of that scene. You’ll catch us hosting live music, trivia nights, and other events that bring people together — because that’s really what we’re here for.
