The Lost Druid Brewery & Distillery

Hidden place in Avondale Estates. Plenty of seating, parking with a nice outdoor space. We decided to give this place a shot for burger week... and try a new spot in the neighborhood. The burgers were juicy, well seasoned and quite delicious. I gave 4 stars, bc the initial walk in wasn't "welcoming." It was our 1st visit and we arrived shortly after opening so the restaurant was still fairly empty. No one greeted us nor told us what to do next... we had to walk up and ask... That experience was off-putting, however, the staff seemed friendly afterwards.

I went here on a not too busy Saturday pm. This is a phenomenal beautifully made building, very modern industrious in appeal, with amicable managers/tenders. Kudos to their interior designer for merging that cool navy blue with the ample dark wood on the tables/high tops. The choices were thin on the spirits, but I did taste their double-oaked barrel ELXR bourbon (45% ABV). Its nose and palate were smooth, and the finish was a solid caramel/cacao in flavor. Next drink was its 13.4 imperial Beast of Scanlastle. The strongest pour was very good, comparable to the imperial stouts of Wolf Ridge brewing in Columbus, OH, having a very chocolatey, lactose-rich flavor. I highly recommend this beer while it lasts!

The beer selection is massive and they have seltzers and cocktails if you're not a beer fan. The food is good, albeit a little limited - which is to be expected. The place is popular. They have tons of seating, so you'll find a spot but you may have to wait a little to put your order in.

Love the atmosphere and not only do they have their own beer and cocktails which are wonderful but they have food. Great burgers and yummy pretzels plus so many other choices! It is a chill vibe and it is woman owned! In a quiet warehouse district in Avondale Estates...great local spot to support!!

The beer list is pretty curated with a lot of thought. The menu is quite extensive-- there are many smoked meat options. The tavern pretzels are a must! Note: We've gotten the Jerk chicken wings twice. The first time was salty, and the second time didn't taste seasoned.

This place is a hidden gem… I came upon Lost Druid while looking at Atl burger week offerings… this was the only burger that appealed to me… the Roka burger b/c it had bacon jam. And when i tell you it did not disappoint! Also i love a good local beer. So this brewery is right up my alley. The team was friendly and knowledgeable about the selection of beers and cocktails. I tried the Robe of Eyes beer( an IPA) so tasty. Also i requested ketchup and mustard they make a house beer mustard… definitely took the burger to the next level! The Spellbinding.. a sour with pineapple, pear and ginger is my favorite. So damn tasty! I’ll definitely be back to hang here!

Fantastic little spot. Attended a private event and staff were friendly, competent, attentive and accommodating. Shady, breezy (great fans to keep air moving!) genuinely enjoyable atmosphere even for non drinkers.

Awesome place. Slightly Hidden and supper comfortable brewery. At least 4 of their beers are awesome 😁

I visited for trivia night. I had an IPA that was good. The outdoor patio was a great spot for trivia! I ordered the pretzel which came with cheese and mustard that had strong horse radish taste.

$-$$ During my brewery walk on Saturday, we visited The Lost Druid. This brewery has a large indoor area, where they had live music and ample seating. The outdoor seating area is quite large and very spacious. The staff behind the bar were very friendly, courteous, and we enjoyed chatting with them while we ordered our beer and our food. I enjoyed the Bjorn Again ale and the Margherita Flatbread. Both were absolutely delicious! I would definitely visit this establishment again as a live music was very nice (easy to sing along with), a very large indoor/outdoor area to sit, the food and the beer were delicious, and it was so easy to just relax. Definitely a place you should visit if you're ever in the Atlanta area.

Always a vibe and fun time. This night there was an artist playing some type of instrument that I've never ever seen in my life. But it was enjoyable along with the songs he sang. Had good food and I chose tacos and wings. Excellent choices. It's always a good experience because the setting is always live and has something going on to enjoy while you so your brew and eat. Love this place. The service is always on point. Staff is amazing and always has suggestions as to what's new, what's loved and what to try.

I came here for the first time for their Wednesday night trivia and had a great time! There was ample street parking around the brewery, while the parking lot was quite full. There's also a very nice outdoor patio area, and due to how nice the weather was the doors were open for the main seating area. The cocktail I ordered was great, $12. The pretzels were also great! Came with cheese and a honey mustard with horseradish maybe? It was good but a bit jarring on first taste! Service was great, and fast, and I'd definitely come back!

A friend recommended The Lost Druid a while ago, and told me that it is a woman-owned brewery and distillery, which is so cool. We decided to check it out with some friends on Sunday, and we had a great time. It's a nice, new feeling space. The inside opens up to the outside seating area through open garage doors. They have a lot of seating in both spaces. They have a large menu of craft beers, seltzers, and cocktails. The rum breeze was delicious! As were the pretzels with beer cheese. The staff were friendly and helpful, as it was our first time visiting. Dogs are only allowed outside, but they do have a poop bag station, which I appreciate! They have a decently sized parking lot, and there's also plenty of street parking. We will definitely be back!

Great stop for a Friday Happy hour and dinner. Aesthetic was nice and modern. Small parking lot out front with additional street parking as needed. Beer variety was really excellent. They cover light, to dark, sours and IPAs, etc. I thought all in all the variety and quality combination was hard to match. Food was also good, collectively had the burger, flatbread, chicken sandwich, pretzels, and chips and queso. Would happily reorder any of those on another trip.

I can't say enough about this place. It's a hidden gem or at least it was to me. The service was incredible especially being it was busy and there was only two ladies working the bar and servicing the tables. The pineapple pear and ginger sour also hit the spot! Now let's talk food . My wife and I split the beer chicken tacos which not only had a amazing crema on them made from cotija and beer cheese but were served flat on a corn tortilla for an elevated presentation. We also started the meal with the BAH-BAH Peppadews. A peppadew pepper stuffed with honey goat cheese (hence the bah-bah) and served with a sorghum siracha dip. If that doesn't make you want to go wait until you find out you can take your drinks with you in a plastic cup if you walk to the "green park" nearby. Avondales piece of heaven!

After a long hike, we decided to stop at The Lost Druid Brewstillery for dinner. We were also looking for a refreshing drink to go with it. We sat outside because it was a beautiful day and we had our pups with us.y partnered ordering everything from the inside. I got the burger with mushrooms and it was great. The beer was good and refreshing. If in the area, give them a try.

Great place to meet friends. The outdoor picnic tables are welcoming. For the ladies they have heaters so still grate to hang out in the fall. They have some good shareable so your broke friends can share your food. The parking is free but the area has a lot to offer so you may have to walk a block but it's we'll worth it. This is a regular meeting place for my wife and her girlfriend. It's pet friendly so bring your dog they will enjoy it. They updated the patio and improved the ambiance. This is a regular stop for casual meet up with friends.

One of our favorite breweries in the area! The food is great and their beer selection is always super unique and tasty. We enjoy the atmosphere and the live music they bring in. The service is always great. Highly recommend!

Cool spot, nice food, great beers! I personally like the sours, was not disappointed with the Southern Charms, very passion fruity The margarita flatbread was well done and well cut to nibble on. Only thing I'd prefer would be the live music a notch down on the sound... we couldn't talk after they started performing.... And had to leave...

Ok well We were when it first open ended but wow! They have really expanded!!! The beer isn by country - so fun! I had a German and my husband tried the Polish (of course) !! Nice people - husband and wife that own this craft beer and now vodka, rum and Gin distillery!! Try the pretzel ! Hummy!

AWFUL!!!!! the wait staff was VERY rude and I was verbally abused by a female waitress!! I, nor anyone I know or speak to will Ever step foot in this establishment. If I could give negative stars I would. They don't even deserve this 1 star.

A cute local brewery that is family and dog-friendly. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. As for the beer selection, they change their menu around every so often. I ordered the Spellbinder which is a sour with pear, pineapple, and ginger. A great option for those who don't like a strong hoppy taste. There is also a cocktail menu available in case beer isn't your thing. According to my friend who is a local, the cocktail menu is fairly new since it didn't exist the last time she visited. The pretzels are a must when you're here! The pretzels are soft and fluffy and pair perfectly with the two sauces they come with, one is a cheesy sauce and the other had horseradish.

More like Most Draconian. The one page single spaced diatribe against the presence of children attached to the menu was a rather off-putting first introduction, and we weren't even there with our kids. So many rules posted and stated. Don't even order a gin and tonic, they "only make what's on the cocktail menu". My Manhattan was bland. The food I tasted was good, but the vibe of that place was not cool. There are 2 other friendly breweries in town that don't feel laden with rules.

REALLY good food, creative menu, comfortable space even when crowded. The beer and cocktails Are also creatively named and I'm sure they are tasty. Will need to go back and try some of them.

Our first visit to the Lost Druid and we loved it. This brewery sits in Atlantas East End - Avondale Estates, right next to a Marta transit rail, which goes by it every so often. This did not deter from the ambiance. Parking lot was full but we managed to find some down the street. The out door area had bench seating with sun umbrellas, but there was seating indoors which was well ventilated as well as seating in a clear plastic cordoned off area in case of rain sort of like a sun room. We found a bench table to sit at. Not only did we have stunning weather but the beer was quite extraordinary. They also have a full kitchen serving some unique foodie items from which we chose: the black and blue chicken salad (excellent); the Lamb Koftir sliders (excellent little lamb burgers); the White Bull sandwich (fantastic); and the granny apple oatmeal crisp with vanilla Ice-creme (also excellent). For drinks: there was a good selection of porters, IPAs, hard sellers, and you could serve yourself water. I fell in love with the Garden of Evil IPA which had a unique subtle apricot flavor. Now that was special. It's too bad they didn't sell any cans to go. I also tried the Circle of Moon but was less impressed. You might be pondering what's up with the name Lost Druid? You can really get lost reading about the philosophy of Druidism or Druidry, but perhaps it ties in nicely with what the owners intended here: "Druidry, sometimes termed Druidism, is a modern spiritual or religious movement that generally promotes harmony, connection, and reverence for the natural world." The practice of Druidism can take various forms but I did not get a chance to inquire. Perhaps the owners will enlighten us. There are quite a few other beers to try but I'll be back for more Garden of Evil, hopefully real soon.

The beers are okay, all but one staff person seemed annoyed to be there and the food is just not good :/. The wings were so, so dry. Salad dressing had no flavor. And chicken sliders were just sad... sorry lost Druid :( we wanted to like you but there are just too many other good options.

This was a very meh experience from the moment we walked in the doors. We went to the bar and my husband asked if we could sit outside. The waitress must have misunderstood what he said and said very rudely that she'd get to it when she got to it. Confused, I said no I think you misunderstood him, he's asking if we can grab a table outside. She realized what she said and was like, sure, but you still need to order her at the bar and that they don't bring out the drinks. She was clearly having a bad day. We ordered our drinks and closed out our tab. Sat at an outside table. The outside area was pretty big and spread out. That inside had patrons listening to this weird pirate performing on stage. The whole experience was underwhelming. The place just lacked any sort of continuity or style and the bartender had left a very bad taste in our mouth. We finished our drinks and quickly left.

Great beer, cool spot. The food is also really solid. Decent sized parking lot. Really good for weekend brunch.

Had the best burger I've had in ages! The Roka burger was absolutely phenomenal. Will definitely be back to this place! Also super fast service!

Great space, great vibes, good food, and good beer lol Atmosphere: small parking lot wirh street parking if it gets full. Not incredibly hard to find a spot on the street. they have outdoor tables with coverings if you don't want to be in the sun as well as tables inside. The venue has large garage like doors that they had open when we went since it was such a nice day. What I rly liked was how it wasn't crowded and overwhelming service: order drinks and food at the bar. They have self serve water available. They give you a table number for your food Drinks/food: pretty good selection of food that includes appetizers and entrees from pizzas to burgers. The beer selection rotates and tbh they were solid. They had a wild child drink that looks pretty fruity but was 10%. Beware, but it's so good and interesting - pastrami sandwich: giving this a 5/5. Was actually surprised by how good this was. Lots of meat, the bread was nicely toasted and dare I say had garlic on it? It was very good - white bull burger: 3/5 just an average burger. Nice cheese pull but overall it wasn't super outstanding. - will say they both come with side of regular chips. But they skimped out, not sure if it was even a small bag's worth

The Basics: The Lost Druid is a brewery/ eatery located in Avondale Estates near Decatur. The Lost Druid has a large variety of beers that they brew and they also serve food from their kitchen. There is both indoor seating and also outdoor seating with large patio tables. Things I liked: The food and beer here was great! I ordered a sour beer called Blue Citron and I also had a hard seltzer (they have a few flavors of hard seltzer and they are great). Both drinks were delicious and they have a huge variety of beers and hard seltzers so there is certainly something for everyone. The food was also great and not something to miss. I had the soft pretzels and the Apple, Cranberry, Walnut salad and it was all delicious. You can tell they put a great deal of care into the food and drinks here. The service was wonderful as well. Things I didn't like: Nothing! Visit The Lost Druid! Overall, this is a hidden gem. The Lost Druid opened early 2020, I believe, so it feels really good to support this business. It was not very crowded when we went on a weekend afternoon, so it was nice to be able to easily find a table and not have to worry about crowds. This is a great spot for a large variety of beers and delicious food!

Owners love to look a gift horse in the mouth. They hate children, but opened a brewery in Avondale, where their clientele is 75% people with young children. You can easily spot the owner ( she's the brunette with a scowl on her face). I wish they would make it no children allowed and see who ACTUALLY pays their bills.

Great beer, horrible service. I was told the Kolsch is "our lighest beer just like a Budwiser" What? No, its a traditional brew, hints of nutmeg. The cashier is not qualified to share knowledge about beer. Also she gave attitude to my girlfriend. Obviously she was tired, annoyed by my challenge, no - its a Kolsch. Avondale residents should stop coming here until the figureout how to interact w the neighborhood.

I love this place. It's low key, has a variety of beer, and has the best soft pretzels! There always seems to be a variety of different types of beers to try which means everyone in the group can find something they like. My friends who don't like beer have liked the seltzers they have. They've started serving cocktails on tap as well. The cocktails are the price of a handmade craft cocktail but come out of a batch. Because of that combo I haven't convinced myself to try them yet. It seems like it would make more sense if they were lower priced in the batch OR current price made individually. But it's a newer feature, maybe they're still working it out. There is a good amount of seating both indoor and outdoor. The vibe is very relaxed and sometimes they have live music. The volume of the music is generally more reasonable volume than most places which I really appreciate- makes it easier to continue your conversations when the music starts! The parking situation is pretty easy. The parking lot is small and often full, but there is also a lot of street parking. Service is pretty consistent and I've never had a negative service experience at Lost Druid. The food is a little unreliable but fine. Some items on the menu are pretty good, but others miss the mark. Even when a dish isn't very good, it's not inedible or anything, just not very good/disappointing. For example, recently we ordered some type of spinach dip and it really seemed like heated up frozen grocery store dip. It was disappointing, but not BAD. Just not what you would expect and it seems inconsistent with the other standards the brewery seems to uphold really very well. But definitely try their soft pretzels! They are always SO good. They come in big loaf-like sticks, sprinkled with bacon (which they can leave off if you ask), and with a small container of mustard, and small container of dipping cheese. I think they make them from scratch - at least they taste like it! I have a bunch of my friends obsessed with them now. We will specifically go to get the pretzels regularly. And yes, we get other stuff too. But we're really there for the yummy pretzels! Really, the beer is quite good, too! It's interesting, good, consistent, and there's often something new to try! But the pretzels make Lost Druid stand out from other breweries with good beer.

They have this amazing ipa. It is a small batch and it's name is something like garden of evil. It has a subtle apricot taste and it is quite possible my new favorite beer! So yummy you have to try it! The brewery experience was nice, we got a table outside which was great. We also had some lamb sliders, a burger, a salad and apple crisp for dessert. It was Mother's Day so we let loose. The food was great! The cheese on the burger was mouth watering. But the Ipa was freaking phenomenal.

We came here on a Thursday night for a round of drinks. I got "the mirage" seltzer- supposed to have pear notes.. all I could taste was cotton candy (take that for what you will). The space and atmosphere was dynamic- indoor seating and outdoors with picnic tables. The crowd was a mix of families, friends, older couples. My boyfriend thought his IPA was "just okay". We'll be back for the chill vibes and friendly staff

No nonsense but cute brewery with a lot of space to sit inside or outside, and you can bring your dog!

I mistakenly left a 1 star review. Just updating to a well-deserved 5 stars! Still love the drinks, food and people!

This is a very cute brewery and has a ton of indoor and outdoor seating! The parking lot fills up quickly but there is a lot of street parking nearby. The beers are fairly good and they have ok food.

I am a big fan of hamburgers, and the one I had here was the best I have had that I can remember in years. Always friendly staff all in all a great neighborhood Joint in the best sense of the word.

This gem can be found in Avondale tucked away on a quiet street. Before you think, another brewery in Avondale think again. Walking in your surprised with a very modern, beautiful room. Seating upstairs and down near the bar. They do have an extensive beer list. As I was unfamiliar with all of them I opted for a flight. I had Blossom lay upon the thorn, of Myth and legend, natural remedy and eternal light. All were unique and paired well with their food. My husband and I began with the steak tostada for 13.00. This was amazing and worth a trip back alone. You in get 2-3 of everything in their tapas style menu. Perfect for a brewery. Next we had a cheesesteak- we did split this at 13.00. Great steak again, no cheap cuts here topped with melted REAL cheese (no canned crap!) and jalapeños on toasty bread. Then the Blue Pear salad- this was something I didn't want to share but it was fate night. Great flavors with a homemade vinaigrette. Finally, we splurged and split a chicken sandwich. It was deep fried and whIle good didn't really compare to the other food choices. On a final note, I learned I like darker beer. Who would have thought get. But, the ot Myth and Legend was my favorite. Please visit them frequently as I'd like to see them stick around for a few years!

Delicious food and drinks. The beer is a lot more fun and creative than I'm used to but it was very good! Life the atmosphere at The Lost Druid as well.

Some of the best and most authentic European beers in Atlanta. Great, friendly staff. And outdoor seating. They serve food, too. Cool vibe.

If you haven't found this place.... YOU NEED TO!! Beer is on par with any of the best breweries in Atlanta..... very tasty and diverse selection. The food we ordered was hot, tasty and very esthetically pleasing to the eyes. Lots of outdoor seating and outdoor space...... plenty of spaced out seating on the inside as well. My cycling friends and I saw the little sign and were safely guided to a heavenly paradise!!

The beers AND seltzers I sampled were AMAZING. Check the ABV on all of 'em, especially that Wild Child seltzer, before you go to town! They don't offer tall pours in drinks over 6%, which I really respect. Not only the drinks but the FOOD is incredible. We got soft pretzels "for" my 4 year old cousin and ordered a second round because the grown ups liked them so much. The baked wings were excellent, as well as the olive hummus. We thought (the hummus) might be too salty but it was great. I definitely recommend this brewery!

We went here to partake in burger week 2021! The burger was ok, good quality meat and bun, although the "garlic infused gouda fondue" was a little lost in it. They also charged extra for ketchup... Since the entire table got the burger I'm not really sure how good the rest of the food here is, but the beers were really the star of the night. I had a belgian doppelbock that was fantastic and the Black Sea Stout was one of my favorite stouts I've ever had!

You can find this place one one of those backstreets that parallels East College - the building is a two story warehouse with parking to the street. On this preview night two beers were offered, The Golden Orb NEIPA and The Crossroads Lager, also four menu items: Croque Monsieur pan-fried brioche with ham; Tavern Pretzels; Beer Brat Hoagie and a Shrimp Po' Boy. The people were nice, I met the brewer Rob - awesome guy. Looking forward to more from this local craft brewery.

I love sour beers and was on the hunt for a new brewery, enter The Lost Druid. I decided to check it out & it was so nice! They have parking, an outdoor space, food and delicious sour (and regular) beer! The lamps inside were really cute, shaped like hops. There were a lot of families hanging out on the pick nick tables outside. We tried the Frozen Orchard and Southern Cobbler. They were both really good! I definitely recommend trying them. We also had one of their hard seltzer's which is a great option if you're not a beer drinker. I really liked that too. We wanted to take some of the sour beer home but unfortunately they didn't have it canned. I hope they start doing that!

Great beer, hands down. Definitely a great place to have a beer with friends. The food leaves me wishing for more vegetarian/pescatarian options. If you eat meat, you're good to go. If you don't there is one vegetarian entree that at $15 is basically a small appetizer. There are other veggie friendly appetizers, and a vegetarian flat bread, so you won't go hungry, but you will spend a bit getting full. The food is always good though.

I discovered The Lost Druid thanks to a Local Flavor deal, and it felt like finding a hidden gem! They are actually in the running for best Small Town Brewery, and I can see why! The outdoor area was cute and spaced out. I'm not a big drinker, but I really enjoyed the seltzer and also appreciated that they let me sample the drink flavors before picking one. The food was all delicious! We got two side salads with chipotle ranch (amazing dressing!), a margherita flatbread, and sliders with a side of chips. For dessert, we got the apple crisp with vanilla ice cream, which was the perfect way to end the meal! We went on a Wednesday after work and were pleasantly surprised to find they have trivia on Wednesday nights. We didn't stay for all of it, but we'd love to come again for trivia! Also, I was impressed that the servers switched out gloves whenever they were bringing a table's food. It's a Covid/general health precaution that I wish more places did!

We visited The Lost Druid for a quick flight and bite to eat. The employees had masks on (as did we when ordering) and there was plenty of spaced-out seating on their outdoor patio. The flatbread was delicious and the beers were great. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience even within our "new normal" - everything felt as safe as possible. P.S. - don't forget to tip well, these people are working during a pandemic so that you can have some non-essential beer.

TLDR: good food and delicious beer at fair prices! Outdoor and open indoor seating available. Parking and location: there's about 8 or so parking slots in the parking lot available with additional free street parking. The location is a mile or so from downtown Decatur so for a far walk, you can access the other restaurants and stores in the area then come here! Menu: the resturaunt has a few basic/staple bar/pub type foods with a twist all reasonably priced ($8-$15). They also have a rotating desert which is currently their homemade banana bread! Beers: I got the only sour they had which was delicious and well priced for the size (~$4.50). All in all, a great place with good management, good food, and great brews! Definitely a must try of one of the many cool breweries in Decatur!

Very cool brewery in an unexpected location. Staff was friendly and social distancing enforced with staff wearing masks. Food: I only wish that the portion size for the wings was bigger for the cost. Wings were very well prepared and pretzels were topped with bacon salt which was an interesting flavor concept. Beer: lots of beer on tap to choose from with multiple size options. I recommend the "one must be forsaken", if you're into IPAs like me. Parking available onsite lot and on streets. Indoor and outdoor seating available

I hate using the word "vibe" but the vibes were definitely off at this place. Not sure why but I didn't feel like a welcomed customer here. The people behind the counter didn't really appear to want to be bothered and when I ordered a burger it came out VERY pink. When we asked if they could cook it longer, they seemed irritated and we were told that's just "how we [they] do all our burgers". But they ended up throwing the entire thing in the oven to be reheated (bread and all, lol). I was very disappointed in my experience and as a new resident of this area and someone who frequents breweries, I was really looking forward to liking this place. What's really sad is I actually enjoyed the beers I had and maybe I'll give this place another shot at some point in the future but not likely anytime soon.

Great beer, surprisingly good food. Those pretzels and the burger! Mmmmm Not to mention such a fun beer selection.

Great beer, lots of styles outside the latest trendy hazy IPA. Food isn't shabby either.

I won't even feed my dogs with the food I bought. Terrible owner behavior. I had to throw the food I bought because of how terrible and rude the owner was.

Fantastic new brewery! We spent all of Saturday brewery-hopping and The Lost Druid was by far my favorite. I really enjoyed how fresh and bright the lemon, basil, and honey flavors were in their beers on a hot summer day. Incredibly refreshing and unique flavor options that were a delightful break from all of the hops-heavy IPAs at Atlanta's breweries. We only shared the charcuterie plate but the cheeses and meats were delicious. The menu looks appealing so next time we'll come with an appetite.
