Great selection of beers. There is a 3rd party vendor onsite with delicious pizza. The sour beer connoisseurs we were with were not impressed with the sours. Friendly environment, cool merch, fun events, plenty of seating for small or larger groups. Free onsite parking. Kid friendly space.

Pontoon is a great spot. I love their slushies and the customer service is top teir. Always a great time. They even have events with live bands and vendor markets where you can shop local and grab a bite to eat.

I really love this place! Lots of fun rotating beers, community events, and so much space inside. Usually food vendors are on-site, and all the ones I've tried are super tasty. Very dog and kid friendly, but not really a good option for your little league team events (please stop ruining the experience for everyone else and just take them to Chuck E Cheese).

Been there twice and beers have been fantastic each time. Christina was great at the bar, and the Croccante was extra delicious in this sweet glass.

First time at Pontoon Brewing Company. I enjoyed every style I tried. My favorite being the barleywine, which is one of the best barleywine’s I’ve had in a long time. The blonde ale was also very solid too. The space itself is very welcoming and comfortable. Lots of tables, couches, and chairs to choose from and the lighting is also very relaxing. The staff is friendly and the bathrooms are clean. Surprising lack of IPAs, which I strangely appreciate, but it’s a good place to visit even if that’s your thing.

Nice brewery in an office park. Great atmosphere with good seating inside and outside. Beer was very good. Games available to entertain. Had a flight of 2 stouts, a pumpkin ale and a New Zealand IPA. All were terrific

So happy they're back open! Such a great location with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Easy to get to off 400. Lots of parking. Several size options. A small selection of NA drinks beyond just water. Staff is super chill and laid back. I like that they have a good selection of Togo beers as well. You can also hold events here! They have a projector and screen for that.

I am not a beer drinker. I am a whiskey drinker. I still visit Pontoon Brewing. Its a great location at 400 and Roswell Rd. There is always a changing menu with new and different items. And always something for me, a non-beer drinker, to choose from and enjoy. Its super dog & kid friendly. Families, friends and food trucks. Lots of events to attend - I've done Marvel trivia, new years eve, video game contests.. and they have regular trivia nights and brunches. The beers are good and theres always a selection for me, that I actually like. Theres a little bit of everything, something for everyone. During football season, we've gone to watch the games, which they always have on. Also a nice outside sitting area thats not too hot since its shaded by the trees. Totally recommend

Super awesome brewery! This was my second time here. A little hard to see where it is from the road. Well that just makes it a hidden gem in my opinion. Great staff, cool atmosphere, and awesome beer! Big open area for lots of people. There is outdoor seating too. The beers were all super good. We each got flight to try different stuff. Im hit or miss on sours. Well, theirs were the best I have ever had. Not super sour but amazing flavors! I cannot wait to come back again soon!

We support Local GA Beer. We have been huge fans of Pontoon Brewing ever since they opened. They are conveniently located off of GA 400 closest to Exit 6. You could usually find me outside on a Saturday just before 12. There is lots of outdoor seating with shade thanks to great giant blue umbrellas that are over a few tables. Dogs are welcome inside and out with leash. They have a food truck schedule on the weekends as well. You may bring in food from outside. The beer menu rotates and certain styles don't last long so you must visit often. They do incredible Sooper Froot style beers. Get a flight or two so you can try them all. I love the peanut butter Berliner's that they consistently put out. Right now they have PB Jammin on. You should get in there. Inside has plenty of seating and a large screen tv for people interested in sports. The staff is amazing. Very friendly and always there to ensure you have the best time. DONT miss their Anniversary party or BROWNIE BASH. You should follow them on social media so that you are in the know. I'm a member of the club.

A sour brew haven to soothe your wandering soul. Seating indoors and out, with friendly service, and options for takeaway. Great spot after a hike in the Chattahoochee Recreational area. They offer beers with purées and interesting combos like marshmallow and berries. Seasonal offerings like pumpkin and stouts as well. Would go again to hang out, watch a game, or unwind after being in the wilderness.

Great atmosphere, good beers, good price plus cool staff. This place only has 4 beers they have year round. All of the others are rotating and you never know when they'll bring them back. Their logo is an otter and it's super cute to see the creative can art plus their merch is on point. They've got rotating food trucks too plus some games and tv. Definitely recommend if you love good craft beer!

Visited on a Saturday afternoon ample seating inside & outside! The inside has tvs and they were playing boxing at the time. They also have heaters outside as well! When I went they had a food truck which was nice since normally they do not have food! Large selection of sour beers on the menu!

Loved it! We always take a flight of beers when we first come to a new brewery and most of the time there is one or two of the beers we like. We had two flights, and out of the 8 beers, we loved 7. Amazing. Such adventurous beers too! Loved the Key Wester one best. But every beer was such a unique flavor, I loved it. They also had pies from Heaps, which were delicious. And there is a food truck in front too. Definitely will come back here to explore.

As someone who loves sour beer, this is the place! I travel to the Atlanta area for work a lot and this is one of the places I always try to visit when I'm here! Everyone I have interacted with has been really friendly and available to make (great!) recommendations if you're unsure about what you might like best. They have so many different options across various flavor profiles - that are all delicious! They rotate/ release new flavors a lot so usually something fresh on the menu every time I go. The taproom vibe is also really inviting. Big open space with a large screen and lots seating inside. Picnic tables and plenty of seating outside. There is also plenty of parking around the whole brewery.

A couple friends and I were on a road trip and Pontoon was one of the stops we were most excited about. We were visiting from Florida and have loved the Pontoon beers that we can get in FL but were excited to see what else they had to offer. We got flights and were able to try all their beers on tap. Most of them were amazing, some were good but none were bad. Fruit of the Zoom ended up being our favorite beer and it wasn't even on the tap list, thankfully the staff let us know that it was available. The brewery itself had an outdoor seating area as well as a decent sized inside seating area. It was your typical brewery vibe, nothing too out of the ordinary but we didn't really care about the looks because the beer is what we came for! It was a great experience overall, next time I'm in the Atlanta area I will definitely be back!

Popped in while passing through the burbs. Cool ambiance. Sampled a couple 4oz. Blonde and IPA. Blonde tasted too blonde and lacked taste. IPA lacked In the hops. Wasn't enthralled with either. Personally 4oz flight size samples are a bit on the small size. At least 5oz would suffice for the price. Mask protocol was adhered to. Plenty of seating outside as well with a food truck in place. 4 stars on the set up. 3 star in the brews. Bartender was pleasant.

We went at 8:30 pm on a Friday with 4 people. It was packed and difficult to find a table at first. We got the Honorary Girls Scout S'mores Cookie (porter), Flamingo Banana (hefeweizen), New Wave (blonde ale), and Crushing Waves (sour). We enjoyed all of them! I tried to get the Fight Milk (stout), but they were out. The night we were there, they partnered with Truck'n Chefs for food. We didn't get food, but it was nice to have the option! They've have cute cafe lighting and Atlanta and college decor. They have shirts and other brewery items for sale. They have low tables, high-top tables, couches, and a big screen with a projector. They are so dog-friendly!! There were so many dogs, it was wonderful. Only complaint is how early they close. Even on Fridays and Saturdays, they close at 10. Last call was about 9:45, and they kicked us out at about 10:45. I wish they stayed open later! This is a fun brewery. We'll be back. We definitely recommend!

The Pontoon Brewing company is a really great place for private events. Really big and a lot of space, nice little yard. The decoration will make you feel like you just entered a giant cabin in the middle of the woods. Their beers are exceptional. Really refreshing place. Worth checking out and repeating.

My first visit to Pontoon was with some friends for the brewery's second anniversary. It was such a great experience. The brewery is pretty spacious and clean. All the employees were super friendly and helpful finding the right beer for me. The weather wasn't the best when we were there and since it was their anniversary the inside was super packed. I would love to go back on a nice day to see what it is like. They have plenty of options so you definitely can find the right beer for you. after trying basically almost every beer they have, my favorite was "The Knights Who Say Neipa". It is a yummy fruity hoppy IPA at 8%. It was super smooth and easy to drink. Since they are done the street from our favorite kayaking and tubing spots I am for sure going to swing by often this summer before and after hitting the river.

I've seen Pontoon Brewing at a few beer and food festivals and have been itching to check out the brick and mortar brewery. Pontoon is located in a random area, in my opinion but most breweries seem to be. The bar was spacious, but filled with disc golf? We walked in to flying frisbees, which were also "netted" off for our safety. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were nice, although very busy with the regulars. I tried a couple IPAs, like the NE IPA Missed the Boat and the Hazy River, which was very easy drinking. I actually really liked the Boats n' Gose, since I don't usually like sour beers, so the sweetness balanced that out. It was the end of the night and closing time, so the bartender gave me my last beer on the house, which was pretty awesome! Overall, I would love to come back again and try some more beers. It's great to see breweries like Pontoon opening up slightly closer to my place, versus the majority of them being ITP.

What an amazing event! They had an Art Walk in the parking lot. Pontoon closed off one section and we were able to move freely from booth to booth. The brews are GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!! The atmosphere was nice, easy and breezy! Since I've been to pontoon, I've been purchasing different types of their brews from my local bottle shop. WE WILL BE BACK!

I didn't plan to stop at Pontoon, but I'd heard of it and have had some of their beer in the past, so when I spotted the brewery one afternoon driving around Sandy Springs on an Atlanta vacation, I had to make a little bit of time to stop in. First of all, like many a Southern brewery, it's located off to the side of a strip mall, which means an expansive, comfortable inside space with plenty of easy parking. I like a brewery in a hip, happening neighborhood as much as the next guy, but I gotta say, I also love it when a brewery makes it really easy and convenient to stop on in for a couple. Service was friendly and efficient - order at bar, take to a table. As for the beer, Pontoon is a fairly on-trend brewery for this point in time on the American craft beer continuum. That means that the tap list, not to mention the cans-to-go cooler, features a lot of 1) hazy IPAs, 2) fruited smoothie-style Berliners/sour beers, and 3) barrel aged pastry stouts. One cannot accuse Pontoon of ignoring the zeitgeist. There are other beers, so if these styles don't set your own pontoons afloat, don't worry too much - but the majority of the tap list is going to fall in these categories. I had a couple small pours of different hazy IPAs and they were perfectly good. Tried the PB&J Sooper Froot and a couple other fruited sours, and while tasty, it was hard to convince myself I was drinking actual beer and not a drink from Jamba Juice. That is the style, so there's that. Decadent Mousse, an imperial milk stout with cacao nibs and orange peel, was probably my winner of the day - it was an excellent beery estimation of a orange chocolate truffle. If I lived in the area, I could see this being a comfortable hangout. For travelers, it's about a 20-30 minute drive from the Atlanta city center, in ordinary traffic, so that's not too bad. I would say it's worth the drive.

Great new spot! Very open and airy. Semi friendly staff. Not very talkative and it was like pulling teeth to learn about the beers. He let me taste a few before committing on beers for the flight and he didn't ask a lot of questions... I felt like they needy some snacky foods.

You can find Pontoon Brewery at 8601 Dunwoody Pl, Ste 500, Sandy Springs, GA 30350- this is a series of buildings as part of a business park right across the street from Quicktrip - Pontoon is in the building to the far left (Building 500) and they have the space on the left corner. There's plenty of parking out front and to the sides. I was invited by a few friends to attend Pontoon Brewery's "soft open" and I'm very glad I did. I was a bit skeptical of Pontoon as I hadn't heard anything about them - a search online quickly found their website and frankly the beers noted there showed very little that I would be interested in - at least as part of their current production. I was happily wrong in my thinking as what they offered on tap exceeded my expectations. When you walk into Pontoon you're basically in a converted warehouse/office space with high and exposed ceilings. The bar is to your left and there are tables scattered about. To the far right are the restrooms and a secondary bar (looks like something they travel with) - while we were there some people got out a cornhole game and started playing in that area (yes the ceilings are that tall). I arrived a bit early with my friend Arvin and ordered up a - Black Squall Russian Imperial Stout (Smoky, Dark Roast Coffee, Bittersweet, 9% ABV) - I ordered a 12 oz glass at the very reasonable price of $6.50. At Pontoon you can get classes from a 2 oz sample size all the way up to 16 oz with scaling prices. You can also order a flight of four $9 which is a great deal. The Russian Stout was appropriately opaque and delicious with great chocolate/coffee foam and "legs" - it was like drinking an awesome espresso and a great started. The rest of our group arrived so we moved to a table - I also ordered a flight with the following: * Galaxy Drifter American IPA (Juicy, Hoppy, Tropical, 6.3% ABV) * Midnight Silver Pecan Pie Nut Brown Ale (Nutty, Roasty, Malty, 5.8% ABV) * Freedom Bird American Strong Ale (Cocoa, Grassy, Malty, 8% ABV) * BBA Freedom Bird American Strong Ale (Toasted Oak, Caramel, Cocoa, 8.8% ABV) Of the four my favoite was the Midnight Silver Pecan Pie Nut Brown Ale. Then best to least: BBA Freedom Bird, regular Freedom Bird and finally the IPA. That last was jarring after starting with the Freedom Bird (regular) and the Brown Ale. I think the drinking order is important here and I should have started with the IPA - the bitterness was off-putting after the mellow tones of the rest - it also had an aftertaste that took a while to dispel. Note that under normal circumstances I think it would have been borderline for me but in the flight I didn't care for it at all. Of the Freedom Birds, the Bourbon Barrel Aged version was much better than the regular with awesome mellow tones - the regular reminded be of Victory's Golden Monkey (not a bad thing) but the BBA was just better. After the flight I had a pint of the Brown Ale and was very happy. We headed to Aladdin for some shwarma next and it was an awesome way to top off the evening. In general the location is awesome (very similar in feel to Orpheus crossed with Jekyll) and the guy pouring was both knowledgeable and attentive, coming around several times to see if we were ready for more. Like I said in the beginning, the beer exceeded expectations and overall this was an awesome experience. Kudos to Pontoon for starting out on the right foot! (also posted to my food blog)

We went to Pontoon Brewing on a Thursday night after work to unwind. We chose it because it is right around the corner from our place on Roberts Drive and it had just opened one week prior, so we wanted to try something new. I liked the open space, which I expect will fill up in coming months as more people hear about this place. We tried out several beers, but my favorites were the Freedom Bird and Galaxy Drifter IPA (this was the best). The IPA was crisp and light, but the Freedom Bird had me feeling pretty good after just one 10-oz. You can order beer in three amounts: 4 oz, 10oz and 16oz, but the staff are proactive in letting you try various beers before committing to one. You can also order a flight of four 4-oz beers. There are quite a few stouts on the menu, and I'm looking forward to trying the Black Squall next time. When I read the names of the beers, something felt familiar about them, and later, I realized that the brewery is owned by a fellow UF Gator, who has certainly let the Florida, southern vibe shine through in both the beer flavors, names and the feel of the place. Guests can enjoy games like corn hole. The beer is reasonably priced and staff are extremely friendly and outgoing. Plus, dog parents can bring their pooch to Pontoon! Can't wait to see how this place grows in the upcoming months. TIP: Check in with Yelp to get $2 off your first purchase/visit here!

Pontoon is located just off GA 400 at Northridge. It's great to see a brewery in this area to go along with all the new breweries that have opened in Roswell over the last couple of years. As others have mentioned, Pontoon is very open and spacious. They offer flights along with regular pints, so I was able to try all 10 beers that they had on tap at the time. My favorites were: Don't Haze Me Bro NE IPA, Galaxy Drifter IPA, Moscow Mule, and Midnight Sliver Pecan Pie Nut Brown Ale. The bartenders were very nice and enthusiastic about the beer. I'm looking forward to seeing how the beers progress, but definitely found a few that I liked and it was a good time.

This is my brother's neighborhood brewery so whenever we're up I try to pressure him into us going, at least for one beer. The space is big and spread out with video games to play and tvs to watch. They also have added outdoor seating since covid. Pontoon always seems to be pushing their limits on the beers they make and I love how "out of the box" some of their stuff is. I wish I lived close enough to be able to swing in on a random Thursday or Monday when they drop some limited beer that I know I'll never get down in Perry. Highly under rated ATL brewery in my opinion.

Beers are really good; lots of variety. I got a flight of four samples for 11$. There are lots of IPAs, fruity beers, even a Moscow mule beer! There's a small outdoor area and plenty of space inside. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't overly crowded, which was nice. Someone brought my dog out a water bowl! **dog friendly**

A good, but limited selection of beers. I'm a fan of their IPA Wake Zone. I don't like sours, but their Boo Berry Berliner Weisse changed my mind. Very spacious with outdoor seating so it's social distance friendly. Great place for remote workers like myself to get away from the home office.

Really excited to try Pontoon Brewing since they just opened a couple weeks ago in Sandy Springs. The brewery is very spacious and they have plenty of sitting area. They have cornhole inside the brewery and a shelf full of board games. We got there on a Friday night an hour before they closed and it wasn't too crowded. They had a good selection of beer on tap. The flight that I ordered consisted of Melon Balla Shandy, Midnight Silver Pecan Pie Nut Brown Ale, Don't Haze Me Bro IPA, and Galaxy Drifter IPA. It's $11 for 4 tasters. My favorite was Midnight Silver and Melon Balla. I also got to try their Beer Cocktail which is their Beermosa. It's an interesting concept and it's pretty tasty. We really liked the Melon Balla Shandy so the bartender used that instead of the Floatation Device Berliner Weisse. Pontoon Brewing seems like a fun hangout place so definitely check them out!

Welcome addition to the neighborhood! The flights for $11 lets you get a variety of options. The Moscow Mule and the Dark port were my favorites. The bartenders were very nice and helpful.

A big fan of this place. I will be back. We enjoyed all the tastings and really enjoyed the beer. Which is huge with all the new places to hit in the metro ATL. So many times we will go to these places and love the atmosphere but, not the beers. So, what a pleasure to find a great space that not only has great beers, but also a really cool space. Thank you Pontoon!

This is a newer brewery in the Atlanta metro area that's off to a strong start! I've been here quite a few times because the atmosphere is good, the bartenders are nice, and it's not usually too crowded, so I feel comfortable bringing my dog and letting him enjoy the afternoon with us! I don't necessarily have a complaint; it's more so a suggestion. Pontoon is really good about always coming up with new beers and working on collaborations, but I wish they would spend more time investing in a consistent line up. I think this would help with brand recognition; I know I've had quite a few of their beers, but I honestly can't name one. I love to try new stuff, but sometimes I want to return to my favorites and it's a little disappointing if their core beers are getting pushed off the taps by their beer of the week. I admire their enthusiasm to always try out new brews, but some consistency would be really nice and I think it would help them establish a name for themselves.

I wish I could give Pontoon 3.5 stars. The environment is great - nice string/cafe lights, big space, and plenty of seating. There's definitely a few solid beers on the menu: Hazy River and Helios. I'd 100% buy those again. Helios was my fav - dry with mild acidity. But as a total package offering, I felt the flavors were lacking comprehensively. Their house staple-Heech Bier Blonde-lacked flavor in my opinion (Ie seemed to watery.) On a surprising note as someone who doesn't gravitate towards sours, the flotation device (tart cherry & pineapple) was a solid sour, especially for this hot ATL heat. It's a complex, tart and beautiful blend of flavors but I also love pineapple. As far as the current seasonals, I'd skip them. The notes of beer-chugs-n-harmony are so strong, I couldn't finish it.

So excited this place is up the road! I can see us walking up here A LOT in the summer/spring/fall. The special cask Samoanut Cookie was probably the best beer I've ever had in my entire life. I wish it was permanent. Very cool atmosphere. We look forward to coming back when it's not quite as crowded...perhaps bring some Uno cards and play some corn hole. Only complaint is that many of the beers I saw people holding were very foamy. That could've just been because they were so busy though.

TLDR: First of hopefully many great breweries in Sandy Springs. With the laws improving for Georgia craft beer with the passing of SB85 last September, it's no surprise that more and more breweries are popping up in and around the Atlanta area. With the grand opening of Pontoon Brewing three weeks ago, Sandy Springs finally has its first microbrewery. Pontoon is right off of 400 in an industrial/business park (think Jekyll, Red Brick, etc.) in Sandy Springs, and if you don't Uber, Lyft, etc. here, there should be plenty of parking right next to the brewery. There's a pop up canopy right outside the main entrance, so you can't miss it. One of the first impressions I got when I walked in was that Pontoon has a really nice space for their taproom. They have room for quite a few people here and there's stuff to do all over the place, including board games, cornhole, and TV to watch the game. Pontoon's beer list consisted of 9 taps, one beer cocktail, and one cask beer. The cask beer changes every weekend and it's probably going to be more of an experimental beer with trying out different combinations of flavors. Some of the beers are more traditional to the beer style, while others are much more forward thinking beers. I think it's a good mix for the both the craft beer drinker and non craft beer drinker alike. In case you can't commit to just one beer, you can always get a smaller pour (4 oz or 10 oz), or get a flight of four 4 oz beers for $11. Since it is a new brewery, I did want to try multiple beers so I went with a flight of: - Galaxy Drifter IPA - Midnight Sliver Pecan Pie Nut Brown Ale - Don't Haze Me Bro NE Style IPA - Melon Balla Shandy At the very least, I thought all four were pretty good. They weren't the best I've ever had, but I really enjoyed them, especially the Midnight Sliver and the Melon Balla. I personally really like pecan flavor with brown ales and I thought Pontoon did a good job with Midnight Sliver. The Melon Balla, which is a shandy beer with watermelon, honeydew, pineapple, and mango, is a beer I can see becoming really popular in the summer. You can really taste the melon in this shandy. If it sounds good to you, the Beermosa on their menu uses the Flotation Device Berliner Weisse as the base beer. However, I would substitute the Floatation Device with the Melon Balla - it's a delicious drink. I love how much more affordable the prices are here. Some pints are as low as 3.50 and many of the 10 oz pours are between $2-$4. Don't forget to check in here and you'll get $2 off. Overall, I think this is a great addition to the Atlanta craft beer scene and it's definitely a brewery worth checking out.

Pontoon Brewing is a new brewery in the upper Sandy Springs area off GA 400. The brick and mortar spot is new but Pontoon is not new to the Atlanta area. Although they are still advertising themselves in a soft opening period they are open and accepting customers. They are located in an office park across the street from the QT gas station so parking is not a problem. They are street facing so don't be like me and drive around all over the place looking for it. They currently offer their signature beer, No Pants Pilsner, as well as Galaxy Drifter American IPA, Midnight Sliver Pecan Pie Nut Brown Ale, Freedom Bird American Strong Ale and a Bourbon Barrel Aged (BBA) version, Flotation Device Berliner Weiss and Black Squall Russian Imperial Stout. As with any brewery I am sure they will continue to introduce new beers so YMMV. But from this selection my favorites were the Flotation Device and the BBA Freedom Bird. I went with a few beer loving friends and out of the current draft selection, everyone was able to find at least one they liked so Pontoon offers a good selection of beer for varied tastes. Overall I thought the beers were well flavored to the description. For example the BBA Freedom is describes as toasted oak and I got plenty of oak. The No Pants Pilsner is a easy light beer that is definitely crushable when you are hanging out for the day. I appreciate they had the flight option which is priced at $9! so I got to taste the different beers and they will let you taste a sip if you really are not sure what to get. The prices are very reasonable as I had a flight and a 16oz pour and spent $16. Service was great as we were sitting at the table a gentleman would come by and ask us if we wanted a refill of something. He even had a hand held scanner. Talk about convenient! I had a chance to talk to the CEO Sean O and he was really excited about the opening as well as what he wants to see for the future of the brewery. There are some additional breweries not too far and he talked about collaborating with them to do some beer tours and also some stand along events involving the outdoors once it gets warm. He definitely showed the craft beer community spirit and it will be nice to see where the brewery goes. The brewery is very wide open and I don't believe there is an outdoor space. It was cold so we were inside but there is a place to play corn hole and dogs are welcome inside. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of things they do once it gets warm. There is plenty of seating and it's a great place to hang out with large groups. I recommend checking out Pontoon Brewery!

Pontoon Brewing is an interesting vibe, but a needed addition to an area of Sandy Springs off Northridge (exit 6 on 400) that has very few options to drink and hangout. The scarceness of options is seen easily as the brewery is in a renovated office space. When we went I was a little disappointed that the one beer I ordered was out on tap and they did not bother to tell me, but instead just opened a can and gave it to me. If I am going to go to a brewery, I prefer to have one on tap if possible. The Galaxy IPA was a solid IPA with some citrus notes, but overall was just a decent beer that did not blow me away. Inside they had some fun board game options and a few nice corn hole sets. There are picnic tables to congregate around, but the space is very wide open and feels more like somewhere you would hangout at on a Saturday afternoon in the summer (hints the name Pontoon) than a place you would go to for drinks during the winter months. I hope they do well because it does fill a void that is much needed in this area with a pretty good beer to go along with it.

Really nice environment, and the beer is pretty tasty. My boyfriend and I like to come to this place often, because it is not far from where I live. It is pet friendly, so please bring your fur babies to enjoy the ambiance. My favorite beer is their Moscow Mule beer, but the only offer it for special events. I definitely recommend visiting this brewery for a date night or to hangout with friends.

I don't normally post yelp reviews, but I needed to get this out there. Pontoon makes THE BEST EFFIN BEER PERIOD. I'm a big SweetWater guy and I think they are amazing but Pontoon could certainly start to give them a run for their money. Must try the following: -Galaxy Drifter IPA -Milky Way -Melon Pineapple Galaxy IPA (my favorite)

My husband and I have been eyeing Pontoon for a while now waiting for it to open. We finally had the chance to try it out this past weekend. There are plenty of parking spaces in front of Pontoon and on the side of the building. The inside is very spacious and open. There are many tables to sit at and places to stand. They have a couple sets of cornhole which I thought was pretty fun. They have a small area of board games to choose from. They also allow dogs inside which is always a plus. Now for the beer. There were a lot of people working, so we didn't have to wait long to order our beer. I ordered the Surf Rock Candy Shandy, and it was pretty good. I ordered a 10 oz for $3.50. My husband ordered the Galaxy Drifter IPA, and I'd say it was pretty average. Nothing to write home about. Something that threw me off was that they had the Galaxy Drifter listed on draft, but when my husband ordered it they poured his beer from one of their cans. I felt like they should have let him know beforehand that it was no longer available on draft. My friend ordered the Flotation Device, and it was incredibly watered down. I'm not sure if there was something going on with the tap or what, but it did not taste very good. Their beer needs some work, but they're new so I feel like in time they'll work out the kinks. I would be down to give Pontoon another shot in the near future.

Cool craft brewery in Sandy Springs, went there yesterday evening- wishing I had seen the $2.00 off coupon for check-in because who doesn't like to save a buck? Anyways, the place is cool and the atmosphere was laid back- they did have a corn hole area which is fun. It wasn't really noisy which was nice, though that could have been since it was a Thursday night. The beer was awesome; I tried the blonde and Sweet Mild of Mine and my bf tried Galaxy Drifter, Sweet Mild of Mine, and one that tasted like pineapple- unfortunately I don't remember the name. We liked all of the beers that we tried and we'll happily be returning in the future to try others! If you want to try something different and are in the Sandy Springs area then check this place out!

The world needs more breweries that allow dogs INSIDE the taproom! Pontoon delivers on this front. And oh yeah, they also have great beer and service. We tried a Berliner Weiss, Pecan brown, Strong ale, Horchata stout, and Galaxy Drifter IPA. The taste of the beers was really great considering they just opened. There were several others that looked interesting, but apparently they got swamped on opening day and ran out of many beers. For instance, Galaxy Drifter was only on cans! Our bartenders were very friendly and service was great. I will definitely be back to try their other stuff.

Went there for the first time on St. Patrick's Day. Two thumbs up for sure! They have several great beers on tap and some good selections to take home in 6 packs. The tasting area is huge. I know it was a holiday but they had 3 different bars running with different beers available on tap and a DJ set up in the front for dancing, All with plenty of seating to go around. Parking was easy and right out front. They had a few food trucks out back selling some pretty killer bites. If you're into the craft beer scene this is definitely a place worth checking out.

Pontoon is the beer to drink! Raised here in Atlanta - Lake Lanier is always our summer escape and pontoon has hit the nail on the head with their laidback, summer beer vibe (even though we drink it year round). DJ at pontoon was more than accommodating to all of my silly brew questions and has us HOOKED. Pontoon is simply the best - do yourself a favor and grab some at the store, or even better, head into the brewery to see them!

Really cool place to hang out after work or play some Cornhole with friends over the weekend. Staff is friendly and they are not shy with handing out samples. Milky Way and IPL are

Here for the "soft opening" and things are already rocking and rolling. It's great to see another brewery open in and around the Atlanta area serving delicious and inspired brews. Good luck for the grand opening and in the future!
