Community Brew & Tap - Cornelia, Georgia

This is great little gem! I love that you can just go to get a wonderful nice meal and drinks or actually a food/drink experience. We were beyond blessed to be able to try Japanese wagyu (something I’m not sure I’d ever get to try) and some amazing cuts of meat. Our server Shannon was the best but the whole restaurant took care of each other to make sure the guests had a great experience and if any needs could be met they were. The upstairs was just so relaxing and cozy and classic. This place is worth the drive and the town is also nice to stroll. Their barrel aged cocktails were so very yummy that it was hard to choose. We met friends for their birthday so it’s a great place for a small gathering to share or the perfect spot for a romantic meal. The sides are large portions so technically you can split them but it’s so easy to each get a different one and share. You also got to choose a knife for your meal…and they were Damascus with such a pretty handle. It is a little more to get the specialty steaks but as a steak lover it is hard to find the quality that they had and it is hands down worth the price!

I honestly cannot say enough good stuff about this place. First off atmosphere, it is in the old bank and you can see the history of the building and the town from the second you walk in!!

Staff is amazing! The hostesses helped me surprise my husband and they did perfect, he was so surprised! Our server Shannon was AMAZING! She was very friendly and personable, taking the time to make us feel so important! She described dishes in detail to help us know what we wanted to order and she even suggested great pairings to go with everything!! Truly all of the staff worked well together to make it an unforgettable evening!

Now the food…. Seriously the best meal you may ever have. We got many things and sampled them around the table and it was so hard to pick a favorite! The brussel sprouts were the best I’ve ever had. The Mac and cheese was so tasty, the wagyu was literally melt in your mouth but I think my favorite was the bone in fillet with crab sauce, oh my goodness!!!!! The steak was cooked perfectly and the flavor and texture were unmatched! If you get the chance to go here, do yourself a favor… GO!!!!

Short hand: fire af! Highly recommend, worth the money.

Long hand:
I had an incredible dining experience at this restaurant, though unfortunately, I didn’t get pictures of the appetizers. We started with the chef’s pick mussels, and I have to say, they did not disappoint! The flavors were spot on. We also had the Woodfired Artichoke Dip, which was absolutely delicious and full of flavor.

For my entrée, I went with the Cedar Plank Scottish Salmon, and it was perfection on a plate! Cooked just right and full of rich, smoky flavor. I regret not getting pictures of my sister and dad’s meals, but everything we had was top-notch.

To top off the meal, we indulged in the Black Velvet Cheesecake, and it was hands down the most beautiful dessert I’ve ever been served. Not only was it visually stunning, but it was also incredibly delicious! A perfect end to a fantastic meal.

The atmosphere here is elegant. As they walk you through the Vault doors you feel a strange, but welcoming sensation. I was to excited and tore my steak up before I took my picture but you will not be disappointed with the amazing flavor the ribeye had. 10 stars if possible!

We booked our reservation through open table , I highly recommend reservations and I’m sure they do too. We haven’t been here in six months so we were excited to be going back .
The restaurant was built from the old Community bank and trust building ,hence , Community Brew and Tap. I just to frequent Cornelia growing up and worked at the movie theater(the Grand , I think ) that was right near the bank when I attend North Ga tech.
We arranged bed a few minutes before our reservation by a friendly gentleman who alerted the upstairs hostess we were there. We took a seat to wait for our table to be ready . Behind the hostess stand is a nice bar and the bar tender seemed well skilled at his craft and had plenty of knowledge about his drinks . I’m a people waver by the way lol. We were called and directed to the upstairs hostess who too, us to our booth. Large circular booth that you scoot in to . There are large chandeliers , and exposed brick walls and exposed ceiling, all which we loved .
We were greeted by our server , Shannon , and let me tell you she was right on point . She greeted us and asked if it was our first time , then asked if we’d like to hear the specials . She went over the specials. My wife ordered a glass of wine and the house made bread was brought out . It was good , served with an oil and vinegar dipping plate with diced tomatoes and cracked pepper I believe.
I ordered the Caesar salad , ribeye , creamed corn and Brussels sprouts. My wife got the salmon with rice .
Our salads arrived and we started our journey , the Caesar dressing was fantastic and the perfect start. My steak arrived and the young man asked me to cut it to be sure it was the right temperature, it was spot on perfect . The steak was able to be cut with a fork , but I did use my knife some . My wife loved her salmon , the cream corn is to die for and I highly encourage people to try it . The Brussels sprouts were okay , a little over fried in my opinion but not enough for me to mention and my wife loved them .
For dessert , I did the cinnamon apple cake with house made cinnamon ice cream , and the dish was smoked at that . The other dessert we had was the crème brûlée and it did not disappoint , but the cake was the star and I loved the smoky flavor .
This was a great great outing and I will not wait six months so I won’t be able to review again
The perfect complement to the evening was Shannon, she knew when to be there and when to not . She was a delight to chat with and we felt very special. I will definitely ask for her next time , thank you to the chefs and the entire staff and management, as the night was a true work of art

this place is wonderful to have dinner for date night, birthdays, or just to experience something special. the atmosphere is very relaxing, it almost feels like you’re in a different time period. the food is absolutely delicious and there’s something for everyone on the menu. the bad reviews talking about price… yes it is higher end but you do get what you pay for here with service, atmosphere, and food quality and i’m sure they take pride in that. i would come here again and i highly recommend you try it if you’re considering eating here! just be sure to make a reservation for the best experience😊

Never a dull night or boring bite at CB&T! We had a girls night here on Thursday and everything was just so delicious. I'm still thinking about that cowboy butter with the Ribeye cooked to perfection. I definitely can't leave this review without mentioning the incredible atmosphere and staff. The ambience is so modernly classy and unique! Possibly nothing can explain better than the fact you can order a bone marrow luge!!

Top notch dining experience in NE GA! If you are in the mood for a quality steak, you MUST go here! We've been to some extremely high end steakhouses around the country and Community Brew & Tap is right there with the best of them! Highly recommend!
