Gate City Brewing Company

Really good selection of beers. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We got a Scottish dark ale that was delicious, a Bourbon hot chocolate that was super good, and a pre-mixed drink from the cocktail bar that was just ok. FYI, the taproom is out the back and down the stairs from street level. Upstairs is just cocktails. Fun place.

We rented out the Artillery Room at Gate City Brewing for a private party and had an incredible experience. The space was perfect for our group, and the bartenders were absolute rockstars—friendly, efficient, and kept the drinks flowing all night. Even with a party of 60, there were never any lines at the bar, which our guests definitely appreciated. The cocktails were also delicious—well-made and a hit with everyone. Couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team. Highly recommend for any private event!

Great spot for a beer flight. The brewery has a cool, relaxed atmosphere and is conveniently located right near downtown

Our holiday party at Gate City Brewing Co: Artillery Room was absolutely incredible! The space is stunning—warm, inviting, and full of character. The Artillery Room has such a unique vibe with its beautiful design and cozy atmosphere, making it the perfect backdrop for a festive celebration. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the drink selection was top-notch (so many great options to choose from!). Everyone in our group loved the venue—it struck the perfect balance between classy and fun. If you’re looking for a gorgeous space with amazing drinks and a welcoming team, Gate City Brewing Co is the place to be. Highly recommend for any special event or gathering!

Grier was great to work with throughout the process! Great communication and suggestions and resources. She was there during the event setup to be sure all ran smoothly for us. Both bartenders were excellent with our group of 65! They were also helpful and knowledgable about the venue and the drink menu. Very welcoming to our group. Everyone was very professional as well.

We recently hosted a Wedding Welcome Party at Gate City Brewing in Roswell. We held a private event for 50 guests in the Back House event space. It was a pleasure to work with Grier at Spirited Event Group, who coordinated the affair. We chose a casual dinner catered by a local restaurant. Gate City, and specifically, The Back House was the perfect setting for the mix and mingle event we were hoping for. The night of the party we had a GC representative working with us as well as a dedicated - and personable! - bartender during our three hour event. Our son and (now!) daughter in law were delighted by the memorable evening. We highly recommend Gate City for “crafting” your special event, too!

We have been coming here since they began! We love the atmosphere and they hold some really fun events during the year. They have really expanded their beer selection and we love the cocktails. There is usually something for everyone.

Nice place to have a few brews. They have over 20 craft beers on tap. There is a large bar area and indoor seating area. Quite a few different beer styles to choose from. The bar staff were friendly. The only downside is that they do not serve food. There was a food truck on site, but they closed before we arrived. I would like to come back and try more of their beers.

I've been here a couple times for various networking events. The interior has a very industrial look with cement floors and Metal chairs. The staff was friendly and allowed sampling before making a selection. They were able to make recommendations of the variety of beers they had on tap. You should note that there is free parking but it is across the street so be aware that the lot above does charge a fee

Went here on a whim. I randomly stumbled upon it on a Friday night. Awesome atmosphere. They have stuff for the kids, the Braves game on the big screen outside. The staff was super nice as well. Beer was awesome and the selection was fantastic.

This is one of the areas best breweries based on how great all their beer tastes and how large their selection is, especially for a small, local establishment. Their lager is especially good and my favorite on especially warm days. It has more body that you would expect from a lager but still goes down quick when it's hot out. They also have some quirky brews that are unique and quite tasty. My favorite is called Hardwood Floors, it's a Scottish Ale with coffee. Sounds weird but it's really good. The service here is always excellent with bartenders that are friendly and very knowledgeable about the beer. If you're eager to give one of the options a try, they'll be happy to pour you a small sample so you can "test drive" before you buy a pint. The ambiance is always upbeat and cheerful with everyone having a good time with friends and family while enjoying great beer. Plenty of outdoor seating and it's dog friendly. Gate City Brewing Co is a beer-only establishment which works out fine because you are a very short walking distance from several great restaurants. When I meet friends in Roswell for dinner, Gate City is always the starting point and we decided where to eat while drinking beer. Parking can be a bit of a challenge in this area and you'll want to enjoy several beers so I would suggest grabbing a Uber if you don't have a DD.

I honestly don't like leaving bad reviews. Mainly because it is so hard to start and run a successful business.. This place has great craft beer, and pretty good atmosphere. So what could possibly be wrong. All i did wrong was to sit on the side of the stage with my son and enjoy the atmosphere and people with a beer. When a young man demanded that we move away from the stage. There was a sign, that I didn't notice. But why would this mustache little guy think he can talk to me in an aggressive, demanding manner? Especially in front of my son??? His entire job is good customer service and communication! He said he was a manager, so he's in charge here. What a joke. Instead of having a polite conversation with just a point of finger to the sign and a smile. He thought he could treat me like that. If you'd like to be taken to like a child and in a demeaning manner, go right ahead. Nothing wrong with this place. However, if you have standards. If you don't want peasants taking down to you or your family, don't come here.

My friends and I walked in and were promptly greeted by the bartender. Seated at the bar, we perused the drink list. I was delighted to find a selection of mocktail holiday drinks to choose from. From the mocktail menu, I started with the Lazy Mile, which was excellent, and then tried the Spruce Tip, which was also quite refreshing. The ambiance is adorned with Christmas decorations, creating a festive setting perfect for socializing with friends. The upstairs features full tables and TVs, while the lower level boasts a patio deck. Regarding , parking, there's street parking or a parking lot that you can choose from. Knowing that we would be in the area for a while, I opted for the flat rate of $10.45 for the whole day for the convenience. If you are in the area, pop in and try one of their many drink selections!

Ok a brewery that has something for everyone? This place has a split building one half with an entrance on Canton street, and the other half is on the back side, behind the Brewing area and down a hill with a stage and all. I hope to come back soon because my drinks were great. They have games upstairs and long tables so it is great for a date night or for groups. As anyone who as ever been to Canton Street is aware, parking is limited, so if you wanted to pay to park the main parking lot is right in front of their brewing center, usually $10 but the price changes, $5 after 10 pm. This is a quick service type of place so you order at the bar and likely won't see a server around to help you. Keep that in mind if you're wanting full service, because this place is great but it requires getting up to order.

Very much a hangout trendy and lively spot, Gate City is nothing like the typical brewery. They boast a stage for live music and a huge TV for sports. There are multiple areas to check out. Lift your spirits at the Artillery Room for craft cocktails above the stage. They were hosting a private event so I couldn't check it out. There is a ton of room outside the main tasting room and another building called The Back House, which has tables and another set of taps. The staff was friendly; however, I felt like the interaction was more about the sale and less about the product. More of a production line feel than most breweries. I tried the Brewers Soul Black IPA It's ROASTY and smooth with Just the right amount of coffee bitterness. It has a slightly smoky nose. I will say, this is a very popular spot and I would go back with a date or a group but I wouldn't visit rolling solo.

Great beer and an awesome live music stage. The location is right in the heart of downtown Roswell

Hanna was awesome!! Great taste in IPA's. Chill atmosphere, light music, clean establishment, friendly/quick service, and great selection!

What a find in Roswell! A sprawling complex with a Main Street entrance with cocktails, a downstairs beer den, and an outbuilding (with AC, very important in summer), there is something for everyone here! We had a yummy cocktail and a nice wheat beer, visited with doggies other guests brought, and were served by gracious folks. The swag here is good and the vibe is inviting and relaxed. Bring your friends, your kids, your dogs, and enjoy!

10/10 for Gate City! We had a date night and got to experience both the Artillery Room and the brewery downstairs. 5 stars for friendly staff... shoutout to Rebecca who was working at the Artillery room, where we started our night. She helped us understand the menu, gave great recommendations and was just wonderful to chat with. I ended up trying the pre-made cocktail flight which was a great price. Unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan of the pre-made cocktails, but it is a brewery so that's okay! I did enjoy an old fashion that she made for me first! So the artillery room has many great options for cocktails! On to the downstairs brewery! I loved the open space and all of the seating options. My husband and I spent less time down here but did enjoy trying a few of the beers. It is dog friendly and there are games you can play while enjoying your time. We will definitely be back to both spots soon. Thanks again Rebecca!

There's an upstairs and downstairs. If you want beer you go downstairs. For cocktails you stay in the street level. The downstairs area is huge the place opens up to the outside and then there's tables everywhere. It's also kids friendly and dog friendly. They also have a little stage down there. When we went they had a huge screen with the football game on. We also went upstairs to try the cocktails and the bartender made the best Moscow mule.

We were visiting from out of town and met some friends here. I LOVED the cocktails! Seriously some of the best I've ever had so major props to Zoey for the delicious drinks! Everything and everyone were so inviting and welcoming and I'm looking forward to coming back ASAP

You will not be disappoint in the drinks or the atmosphere! Excellent history! You will be right at home and enjoy the conversation!

Pretty hoppin' spot in downtown Roswell! We stopped in for drinks after a dry wedding earlier that afternoon and were satisfied! Parking is tough. You can park right outside but you'll have to pay $5. There is some limited free street parking options close by but you will have to walk a few minutes to get to the brewery, if you don't mind! Plenty of beer choices on draft, from sours to saisons to IPAs... anyway, something for everyone. It was particularly hot that day and they had big fans going to try to cool us down. It wasn't doing such a great job, but the ice cold beers helped. The open garage concept didn't help in the summer heat. You can order in various pour amounts, which is nice when you just want to taste a beer versus commit to one. Not a ton of seating but if you dally and hover long enough you might be able to snag a couple seats or share the communal tables. If I'm in the area again, I wouldn't mind stopping in to try another Gate City Brew on tap!

The good: large space with lots of seating and open access to the bar. Large menu that makes it easy to see the beer selection even if you're standing pretty far back. This place was pretty busy with an eclectic crowd when I went on a Saturday afternoon. It is convenient to large pay-for-parking lots. The not so good: I personally didn't like any of the beers I tried. It being Roswell, you pretty much have to pay for parking (it is what it is). Some of the descriptions didn't seem to accurately describe the beers in question (frustrating!) To sum up: Check out the beer menu before you come here. If you like the options and you don't mind paying for parking you will likely enjoy your visit.

This is a classic brewery atmosphere. Theres always something going on whether it's corn hole, or a group meeting spot. Went back in less than a week to show other people how cute it is! Check out their cocktail bar upstairs too!

Gate City is always my go-to spot to stop at when on Canton Street. Always a fun environment with good taps to choose from. While I wish they had more outdoor heaters to make the patio enjoyable during winter time, hanging out inside isn't so bad. Still remains highly recommended, especially now with their cocktail room expansion! My dog, Barkley was also a fan and loved that everything was very dog friendly!

My friends and I stopped in at Gate City while in Atlanta for the weekend. It's in the town of Roswell which is absolutely adorable! They've got a neat garage type building with two other buildings in the same area with picnic tables in between. The bartender told us that they were going to have a cocktail lounge in the building that was under construction. We ordered a flight which was neat becuase they had a few vodka based drinks on tap! It was cool to be able to have a cocktail on our beer flight. We enjoyed the beer and the cocktail, my favorite was Golden Ember which is a white stout. I'm not usually a white stout fan but this one was great! We also tried a Norwegian IPA which was new to all of us! This was definitely a place I'd make a point to stop back in if I'm ever back in town.

Great vibes! If you are into local brews, definitely try this place out! Fell in love with their blueberry lemonade seltzer. Only $5 for an 8oz too! What a steal?!? They provide hand sanitizer at each table and have a whole slew of games for everyone to play with while you drink.

Such a lovely spot to take your dog for a drink. I wish they had a food license but it's in an area with tons of restaurants so no biggie. If you plan on bar hopping it's a great starting point.

Gate City Brewing is located on the convenient side of Canton Street (before you hit all the traffic) in Downtown Roswell. There is a big parking area beside it (typically $5 to park). You can find free parking in this area (right off Roswell Rd further down in a dirt parking lot) and other free parking, but I won't divulge that bc then you'll take my favorite spot to park . Truth be told, I didn't have interest to come here after hearing about it from my Craft Brew Educated buddies. I came here on a whim bc my best girl friend and her friend were here and invited me out. I had very low expectations. So, I arrived and realized that their entertaining area was down a story on the side of the building and not in the taproom. When I walked down the road on the side of the building, I came upon a big party scene. Tons of people, picnic tables, covered and outdoor seating, huge TVs televising the United game, and corn hole. It was also very East Cobb-ish. Not much of any diversity here. However, certainly some very beautiful women to look at. So, beers, you say? Yes, they have that! I started off with the "Das ist Gut" Pilsner. Very good, certainly delivered. They have a smaller size pour and large pour here. I also had their "Fast Fjord", which I believe was an IPA but an IPA I could actually drink. Their dunkel beer was amazing and so was the pumpkin porter. So, my friends were wrong, WRONG, about the selection and taste here (which I promptly told them the following day). They need a stout, but I would certainly recommend them after my visit. Planning to go back again, and pricing wasn't bad AT ALL for this side of Roswell.

We held our annual company summer party this year at Gate City Brewing Company in historic downtown Roswell. Gate City is located just off downtown Roswell's main drag, Canton Street. It's next door to and shares a parking lot with Pastis Restaurant and Bar. Our party took place on a Saturday, late afternoon/early evening. Parking in the Gate City/Pastis lot cost $5. There was a parking attendant. Next door, there was another parking attendant charging $3 to park in the Wells Fargo lot. Limited free parking (about 20-30 spots) is available in a smaller lot, accessible via Mimosa Boulevard, behind Gate City and next to Wells Fargo. There are also 17 free spots along Mimosa Boulevard (street parking) between Magnolia Street and Webb Street. Gate City is named after one of Atlanta's nicknames, "The Gate City." I'd never heard of this nickname after living in Atlanta for 18 years. I've always known Greensboro, North Carolina to be Gate City. This is a fairly spacious, two-story brewery. When we visited, the lower level of the brewery, which is mostly hidden from street view, was very busy. It was a happening place. The setup was open-air with people standing both inside and out, as well as sitting at communal picnic tables. Our party took place inside Gate City's private event space which is a separate freestanding structure on the back side of the property. The private event space has its own bar with beers on tap, a single unisex restroom, and three retractable garage doors. The space essentially feels like a big garage. Seating consisted of a long counter-height table and several highboy tables. Three different kinds of draft beer were served. We worked with Grier Donald of Spirited Event Group, who is Gate City's special events contact, to book the space. She sent us Spirited Event Group's list of recommend vendors. For our party, I booked 4 Rivers Smokehouse, who was on the recommended vendors list, to cater the food and provide a bartender to serve wine and liquor that we provided (in addition to beer sold and served by Gate City). Somewhere along the way, there was a miscommunication. 4 Rivers brought plenty of staff, but none of them were licensed bartenders. Gate City required a licensed bartender to serve wine and liquor. Since 4 Rivers didn't bring a licensed bartender (and have none on staff as far as I now know), we ended up having no wine or liquor served at our party; only beer was served. While in the grand scheme of things, this wasn't a huge deal, it was definitely an annoyance/inconvenience. I'm not placing the "blame" on Gate City and Spirited Event Group, but I do think they need to make clear with all of their recommended vendors what Gate City's requirements are. When choosing an event venue's "recommended vendor" or "approved caterer," you should not run into any problems like this. It was disappointing. Along with 4 Rivers, we also hired Atlanta Special Events to set up some casino tables (blackjack, craps, roulette) inside Gate City's private event space as well as some live entertainment (a couple singers from The Rat Pack Tribute Show). The garage doors to Gate City's private event space were closed for most of the time we were there. Combined with the singers' two large speakers and the echoey acoustics of the high-ceilinged, garage-like space, it was very loud inside. It was hard to hear each other speak; we almost had to shout every time. And for a party with roughly 50-70 attendees plus vendors/staff, it was cozy. In the end, a good time was had. Most people seemed to have fun and enjoyed it.

Their establishment is aesthetically industrial and chic. They have a bunch of games/pool table in an open office style. The drink menu is nicely curated and minimalistic. Loved their Bee's Knees and Rosemary Gin. They do have an outdoor patio, as well as another level downstairs with a secondary bar.

Always have had good service here and the beer is solid. It would be challenging for anyone not to find a pint that suits them here.

We went at 4:30 on a Sunday. We were about to find a table. Tables are spaced out to allow for social distancing. They also have signs on the tables asking customers not to move them. They have plenty of tables outside and inside. Even inside didn't feel too inside-y because they opened all the garage doors so there was a lot of air circulation. Employees were wearing masks, but they didn't require them for customers. I wish they would require masks for customers when they're not at their tables. They have a wide selection of beers. We got the Oktoberfest and Brewer's Soul, both seasonal beers. They were good! They even have a cider, for those who don't like beer! We'll be back. We recommend!

I am here for my second time in over a year and it hasn't changed...... There's an air about this place that is very snobby... The owner just sat at the table and stared at me and didn't even come over to say hello...... There beers are comparable with any other brewery in the area... I sat here and got a flight I bought a hat for $20 which I really like... But their service is shit I don't even want to finish my flight. What a waste of money and parking.

Visited Gate City last night and enjoyed this brewery in downtown Roswell. It wasn't too crowded but the space is set up to accommodate larger groups as well. The best part was seeing all the dogs just hanging out with their owners. Most people left their kids at home so it would definitely more of an adult atmosphere which I appreciated. Tried two different drinks and enjoyed both. Would definitely come back again.

This will be a shorter review. Recently emailed the business so I will not blast it on here. Good place to grab a drink and just hang out. They have TVs and yard Jenga. Whether they have a band or the radio the music is always pretty good as well.

Good lively spot to enjoy a craft beer in the heart of historic Roswell. I'm hoping their Mango Double IPA returns this summer!!!

Got a beer here with some friends and sat in the downstairs area. The beer was well-priced and there was plenty of space. A lot of the tables were dirty and we had to clean them off ourselves and there was garbage blowing around quite a bit, but besides that it was a nice ambience and good beer.

Always love going to Gate City Brewing. Went for their food festival this past weekend and loved the food vendors and of course delicious beer. They always seem to have something new and interesting on tap.

Gate City proves that location matters -- they are packed with people while other breweries close by are nowhere near as busy. Some other breweries nearby suffer from a lack of parking while Gate City charges $10 to park (which is just plain idiocy). I might return if I'm in walking distance. Bottom line is it looks like their sales are great. I thought that the beers were mostly good so I guess everything is great here. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man.

We went here on a Sunday night to catch up with old friends. Overall, a great experience! The beers are reasonably priced ($5-8) and good. They have half pours, which I appreciate. There is indoor and outdoor seating, so my friend could bring her dog. My only qualm with this place is the parking. We eventually found some free parking after driving around for about ten minutes. The other lots in this area were $5-10 which seemed like a steep price to pay to just grab a beer.

At 55 with a flowing head of gray hair, I was recently refused service here as I didn't have my drivers license. No part of me looks under 40. They either just got busted for serving youth or are uniquely bad at customer service. Haven't been carded anywhere near here in years, so just had a functioning credit card that I used somewhere else. Good vibe here and craft beer is good, just felt like they were going out of their way to make life difficult. It doesn't have to be...

Big beer selection, no food that I saw, and the alley smells like a giant turd. Rent a power washer and get a gallon of concrete cleaner.

This place is THE craft beer scene in the northern Atlanta area. Let's start with the most important part... the beer. Excellent! I had two flights, sampling 8 of the 17 beers on tap, each one a solid representation of the style. They even had a rauch beer. You don't see that everyday at your neighborhood brewery! I can't stress this enough... if you're into craft beer, GO TO THIS PLACE. The staff was friendly and helpful. They made everybody feel comfortable and welcome. Parking was no problem. I went there around 3 pm on Friday and found a spot with ease. They're also adjacent to a parking lot that charges $3-$5 depending on time of day. Plenty of seating inside and out and a cool place to take the dogs. They even had a vendor cooking up some tasty Mexican fare. I've been to most of the breweries in town and this one really struck a cord. I can't wait to go back.

This is a super cool place with a great selection of brews! My BF & I have visited several times and enjoy sitting in both the upstairs & downstairs areas talking to fello bewr lovers and enjoying the ambience. The employees were very friendly! This is a pet friendly brewery!

While ambiance is cute, beers are just okay and cocktails are pretty bad. The cocktails taste pre-mixed and we tried a few, and they all sucked.

Great spot located in DT Roswell! Live music/bands on the weekend, a separate area to host private events, and dog friendly with a good bit of seating. Parking is a bit interesting, the closest lot is $5 there is a few street parking spots as well. Free lots are limited and requires you to walk a few blocks. Beers and service has always been good to me and I would definitely recommend you head that way if you are in the area!

Went with friends and this was my third visit since they've opened. They have progressively gotten better since opening. When they opened, every beer they had just tasted like a handful of hops and they all tasted the same, regardless of style. Over the years they now have a nice selection of 18 decent beers that actually taste like the styles they should be. The ones I tried this time were the Tarty McFly (Gose) and the Hanz Gruber (Hefe) and they were good. My biggest issue, like others have stated, is the feeling that a daycare got loose and is running wild. 7 kids running around bumping people and tables playing tag. Girls walking around trying to peddle leftover girl scout cookies. A table with 4 kids playing on tablets. A lady complaining she had adults, in an adult environment, cuss with children around. A couple actually asked people if they would give up their seats on a couch because their kids were tired and had missed their naps being out all day. And at least another 10 kids outside between the buildings running around. When I think of breweries, I definitely don't think of going to hang out with people's kids all over the place, unsupervised. If I wanted that, I'd go to Chuckie Cheese.

Great beer with a very chill atmosphere. Staff is always helpful with choices for a new beer experience.

An outstanding local brewery in downtown Roswell that serves up wonderful beer in a fun, laid-back location right off Canton St. The brews are outstanding, from their fruity 'Awe Juice' and '1864' IPAs to the tasty Kage Kult lager. Service was friendly and prompt, and there's ample seating inside and out, along with a couple TVs to watch the game -- or whatever else happens to be on. With so many new upscale restaurants coming into downtown Roswell, it's great to see there's still room for a grungy, laid-back brewery like Gate City. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, and the perfect place to unwind after dining or shopping in the historic district.

Always different beers on tap, different beer styles for everyone. Dog and family friendly, plenty of seating, onsite food trucks on the weekends and free food delivery from local restaurants throughout the week, definitely makes this place a great weekend spot. Also different live music on the weekends.

Well I can certainly admit when I am wrong. Went back a few months back and honestly the experience is 9 stars. Great experience and really nice staff. Great places to hang out outside and great beer to boot. Certainly can admit my previous experience was a one time experience and look forward to coming back often!!

Good atmosphere, good selection of beers on tap. We went earlier in the day so it wasn't too crowded or too loud.

Wonderful evening. My hubby is the beer official and asked to spend his Birthday here. Great feel and loved the craft beer! Started at the top of their list, trying one of each! Awesome flavors that will definitely give the Atlanta Craft beer scene a challenge with their distinctive tastes. Wished the Mosaic had been available,but oh well. There is always next time. Proud to be the 1st to review on YELP... fun evening on the Roswell Square and awesome brews! Great music, atmosphere and people.

I wanted to try this brewery since it's still new and haven't been there before. It was $15 for 6 tastings, which is the most expensive of all other breweries in Atl and Alpharetta. I didn't mind the price, but if you're charging that price, please provide some air conditioning in the Summer. I wasn't impressed with the layout but luckily they had enough seating on such a hot day with no ac. They had a large number of choices regarding IPAs compared to other breweries. I particularly liked the Vanilla Brown but no others really stood out. This brewery is very family friendly as they even have toys/magnets for kids to play with, large Jenga, and Connect Four! It's a good place to try out once.

We visited on Saturday afternoon, which was a great idea, until we saw the lines. The one detractor for me was the wait; easily 15 minutes every time we wanted another sample. They had a second tap station, but didn't open it. That said, we had a great time! The beer tasted like they really care, there was live music and lots of space, although seats were in short supply. There were easily 250 people present. Hopefully, they'll learn (like so many breweries need to) that having somewhere to sit and enjoy is half the battle.
