If you're visiting the Lake Martin area, and are in need of some wine, slip by Emporium Wine. Henry does a great job of having some of the more popular labels, plus a couple that you might like to try after his recommendations. He also keeps lots of good beer on hand that you won't find in the corner grocery, plus cigars. I don't smoke them but those who do tell me it's a good selection. Henry also has some paintings and framed photography from some local artists. He's located downtown in a beautiful old refurbished building. Worth a stop, especially if you are coming to the lake from Birmingham. Downtown is not far from 280, so it won't take you long.

Let me tell you, everything about this place is awesome: the goat themed decor, the friendly bartenders and wait staff, the owners who great you as you walk in! The food and drinks are reasonable and outstanding. Ever hear of Hot Honey Pecan Wings?! My initial thought was it was a strange combo...but it was awesome! Specials just about every night and live music on Fridays. The Funky Goat may just be the G.O.A.T.! Go there!

We didn't forget to get a couple cortados at Buzzards Coffee a few steps away for a pick me up after the beers. Scale: 1-5 Beer: 5 - we had 4 beers. My dad had the Czech Lager which was smooth and refreshing. My mom had the S'mores Hug Porter that she really enjoyed. I had the Sideways figure 8 (nice name for infinity) and a Falcon Punch both were smooth and delicious hazy IPA's. Atmosphere: 5 - Relaxed atmosphere in an old historic building. Lots of seating including outdoor seating in the front and behind the brewery. I could definitely hang out there for a few more beers. Service: 5 - Ordered at the bar. Knowledgeable bartender. Food: None that I saw but I assume you can bring stuff in from the several restaurants on the square. Cultural/Political Agenda (1-5): 5 -Everyone is welcome.

You had to go to the bar to get your beer and to place your food order. The place was packed out on a Saturday night. Someone could have a goldmine there but chooses not to care.

Im…read moresurprised the locals allow this restaurant/bar to operate in their town for how terrible the overall experience was. While the beer on tap was alright- the service and food were lackluster to say the least. It took 40 min for our appetizers to be brought out even after inquiring two times. The food was burnt or cold in the middle. When speaking with the owner he was rude, dismissive and overall unwilling to fix things for his paying customers. This is a blueprint of how NOT to run a business. If you're looking for a fun ambience and good service look elsewhere in Lake Martin!
