Love the setup and the technology in the menu! Liked that you could sample different drinks. I had the mojito that was on tap and it was sooooo strong, but was good for sipping. The boiled peanuts were incredible
Ty was the mfn bomb, so nice & great service. Food was great & they even still let us do a lil karaoke. I highly recommend her period.
This is my new favorite spot to have a beer with the hubs instead of staying in. the vibe is so chill you will feel like you are at home... i love how quiet it is at the hive - definitely conducive to deep conversations & nights to remember. bonus, the tenders & all staff are kind & knowledgeable & impressive, rounding out a perfectly inviting dive.
One of my go to places for quality drinks. You can get cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, or choose from their wide variety of beer. Growlers are available. First and only place Ive ever seen with a sake box. Ive never tried their food so I cant speak of its quality. Wouldnt mind though. Definitely a place worth stopping in while in Augusta.
Delicious burgers and bowls, and a fantastic beer and beverage selection. So glad we checked it out! 🔥🍻🍔
Great selection of beer. The drink menu is online and updates instantly, so no worries about outdated draft selection.Poutine and boiled peanuts are great for bar snacks. The Poke Bowl pretty damn impressive for GA.Good atmosphere as well.
The service was a little slow, but there were about 15 people in our group so I can understand. I got the smoked Gouda nacho Burger. It changed my life. I also got the penicillin and a margarita to drink. Watch out for that margarita!
Lots of beer cool format. Extremely overpriced. See a picture of the tiny tacos. Bite size bargain (not) at $8. We will not go back. The food prices were shocking. No value here.
Great local spot for a little good food and drink. The vegan Cuban is surprisingly delicious and filling.
Not only is the new Hive a small market (hence the word bodega) but they are also cooking up fresh, small vegan pizzas and sandwiches for dine in or to go! They also serve beer on tap and sell wines. Check out their twice monthly pop ups for old menu items with a new twist!
Try their generous pours, the hummus, pizzas or the Cuban (you would be lucky to find one). Oh and if you are dining in dont forget the boiled peanuts they are the best. They have a decent variety of grab and go items (some everyday grocery).
Fantastic quality and quantity food with plenty of beer choices. Awesome joint.
My kinda place, 70 some drinks on tap and the po-boy I had was very good. Nice staff too.
There are just so many beers on tap! The peanuts were pretty good. Im never going to pass up boiled peanuts on a menu! And the pretzels were actually surprisingly good. The beer cheese they were served with was absolutely out of this world. We got a large portion of the cheese for just 3 pretzel sticks, so we ended up having to pay for more pretzels
That said, I thought the food was quite delicious, and thats the main reason for giving four stars instead of three. Our waitress once we sat down at a table was nice and attentive. The pretzel sticks with cheese sauce were phenomenal, and my veggie burger rated very high up there in my list of top veggie burgers. I would definitely return here, but only if Im looking for food since finding a matching beer will probably be challenging
Every bite of food was incredible. The fries were probably the best Ive ever had. Crazy beer and cocktail selection, although not a large cider selection. Would definitely recommend the food, but make sure you can find a drink that suits you if you want to drink.
This restaurant was so delicious. They have options to eat healthy if you would like, but also the option to indulge. I had the tuna poke bowl, and it was an incredibly generous portion, but also yummy. It had the perfect balance of each ingredient without being overpowering. We also had the boiled peanuts, which were quite tasty--though on the salty side, as boiled peanuts normally are. My favorite thing was the beer list! I like that you can scroll online using their QR code to see the entire tap list, and you can try up to two things before making a decision. They have a beer for everyone. They also have specials that run almost every night, and they have many events (like Monday game night). Great, intimate and fun spot for friends.
The atmosphere is awesome. We sat at the bar and the bartender (blonde woman, didn’t catch her name) was GREAT and knew the drink menu very well, helping us make our decisions, letting us sample multiple beers on tap. The beer was great, food was pretty good as well. Only complaint was our wait time on the food was a little lengthy but overall we had a great time. The service made up for it though!
I usually get the same food every time I come here (poutine appetizer-amazing- and Curry bowl with shrimp-so, so good), this time I got something different and was a little disappointed ( the pretzel appetizer is okay, nothing special, and the poke is WAY too salty), but Im giving The Hive 5 stars anyway because they absolutely deserve it. Most of the staff is really great and super friendly, and you just cannot beat this beer selection, its phenomenal!!
I went here twice and each time I was impressed. An excellent beer selection that world satisfy any beer snobs curiosity. They also offer cocktails and craft sodas from the tap. I ordered mostly small plates and bar food. The deep fried house pickles were interesting. When you order the pretzel make sure to get two, youll want to get every ounce of cheese sauce.The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, my glass never went dry and I was well taken care of even when it was packed.
The beer selection was spectacular and the service was great. I had bad timing when ordering my food because a large party ordered right before I did and The Hive gets a pass on that due to the volume of orders that hit the kitchen at once. The wings were great and I will definitely add the The Hive to my short list when Im in Augusta again. Specifically our server Natalie had a great attitude even though she was swamped.
The hive is a nice spot for hand crafted food and beer. I had the Bahn Mi. It was amazing. Great flavors and the local kimchi WAS ON POINT! I went with the barrel brew with chocolate notes recommended by the bar. Fantastic balanced draft. The bartender was super cool and very knowledgeable about all of their dishes and rotating brews on tap. It will definitely be a place I take my clients, family and friends.
Wonderful food, great selection of beer. We went back twice in one week because we enjoyed it so much. I do wish they had a better way of accessing their beer menu (currently on your phone). Overall fantastic- Augusta needs more places like this.
A great variety of beers and lovely food, nice and chill environment too
Ah, The Hive. One of my favorite local taphouses - the only one (as of AUG 2020), in fact, unless youre willing to travel to Aiken, SC.I love beer and other fermented beverages and this establishment has a little bit of everything from soda (pop for you northerners, sodium bicarbonates for you nerds) and kombucha to a wide variety of beer, wine, and even some mead.I havent had their food personally but from what Ive seen served while nursing a glass or two (or three) of some of my favorite brews, their dishes look delicious and expertly crafted. The Hive is located near the downtown area so, if youre looking for a place to grab a pint before heading to the theater then this is a great place to pop by real quick. Then maybe once more when the show wraps up...
Went with a co-worker for happy hour. Their happy hour is 3pm-6pm and prices were phenomenal. Outside of these hours theyre a bit high. The craft beer selection was abundant and the environment was relaxed. Service was too slow given the number of people. I had the pretzels and fondue, which I wouldnt order again. My coworker had the tuna poke which she enjoyed.
Amazing beer selection and innovative menu. Great veggie burger too!
Good beers, excellent food. Add the house salad to a burger and get a fantastic raw tuna decorated sesame/soy salad that will blow you away. The special burger for today was perfect, too. Juicy and layers of flavor from pesto and sweet relish. Im surprised given where we are.... Hope everything else stands up to this!
Great food. Definitely a hip spot in a hidden location. The bar servers customer attentiveness could be better, but the food is delicious. I had the Summer Dream grilled cheese sandwich with avocado, it was so good!!! And the best sweet potato fries!!
Great restaurant and atmosphere! Beer selection is great, vegan options, and everything is ridiculously fresh. Not to mention, called about a large party for a going away event and they worked with me to make sure we were taken care of. Would recommend to anyone!
Amazing place I love the changing menu and the beer on tap! The staff was always so knowledgeable and helpful and attentive. Recently moved and still miss this place! Hope it’s opened back up when I visit!
Wonderful food, great atmosphere, and amazing service. The tapas selections are always delightful and delicious, and the handcrafted beer selections are some of the best in the city. Weve had phenomenal service there, and look forward to going back soon.
I have been here before for lunch and had some great experiences. This time I went for dinner and was disappointed. The host staff wasnt aware of what tables were seated or not. So there was a bit of confusion. When we got seated, the server made is feel rushed and a bit unwelcome. I ordered a beer and it was served in a glass that was not properly cleaned. I asked for a new glass and they dumped my beer into a cleaner glass, and made a bit of a huff about it. But it was still not properly cleaned. The food was ok. The last time I was here, the food was phenomenal and the staff were kind and helpful. Maybe they were just having an off night?
Burger was good, fries were good. My coke came flat. Grilled cheese seems to have been cooked with the vegeteables, so the tomato avocado and greens were warm. Strange but edible nonetheless. Definitely a beer first, food second type of place. Gave us menus and gave us time to choose our beverages, even though we just wanted coke and sprite. Full menu is online. If you want to browse through their entire selection make sure you bring a phone. Again, strange. But all in all, decent food. Can’t comment on the alcohol as I do not drink.
This place has potential, however their employees need to know more about their menu and should pay closer attention to their customers. I paid 12 dollars for an ice cold hamburger, and was then charged extra for condiments that took two trips to the bar to get the waiter to then come to the table about 5 min later and then 5 more min to get the mustard to me. Great location, good menu ideas, tighten up on service and you might have a shot 😉
I had my first visit recently. Our reservation was incredibly easy. The food was amazing. We had the poutine (authentic), pretzel fondue, and build your own grilled cheese. I chose the Savannah River Brewery’s Witty Belgian, it was a fantastic beer.
Ive been here quite a bit. This is a nice place to get small plates. The staff is very welcoming and delightful. The tap list is so large that its on thier website (+/- 70 beers). I always recommend! If youre looking for something a little less casual with a more romantic vibe, check out their sister restaurant next door, The Bees Knees!
Awesome...great selection and the bartender that helped me, shes great too with making beer flight recommendations! She recommended a great, refreshing locally-made lager. Thanks! Caesar salad was good too, not traditional Caesar, but one with a buncha extra junk in it...way tasty. Will visit again!
The menu has a lot to offer, but you really want to go here for the tap list. Awesome selection of microbrews. Outdoor seating (picnic tables) comfortably fits parties of 6 (8 if youre close). They update their tap list on their website and you can filter to find something you like.
By far the most extensive beer selection on tap in town. So much to chose from, and you can bring your own growlers and get them filled up. You can even get a great discount on the growler fills during happy hour.A little expensive for the food, but it is pretty tasty.Very friendly staff.
Excellent place to try a wide variety of beer. Great atmosphere. Food wasnt the best or the worst but definitely was priced a bit high for a grill cheese sandwich no bigger than your hand. If you come here know it is mainly for the beer not the food.
The food and beer selection here are very good. They have great cocktails and the service has always been top notch. My only criticism would be to refinish the benches outside since they are getting a bit rough and splintery.
This place is kind of strange. They advertise cocktails, but they come in a can. We went for happy hour and asked what the specials were. Both times we asked we were told that they havent had their meeting yet to decide what would be the happy hour specials. We arrived at 5 and happy hour started at 6... The place was aesthetically pleasing.
All of the drinks are on tap, even the cocktails. While this sounds cool in theory, you end up with a drink that tastes old and stale. The food is decent - not bad, not amazing. As others have mentioned, the beer menu is online so you have to look at it on your phone or a tablet that they *might* let you use.
The quality of food does not match the prices this establishment asks. My husband and I both went with growlers which were priced $12 a piece. They were incredibly underwhelming and tasted as though the ingredients used were either old, microwaved, or both. The breading for the kids nuggets was pretty bland/peculiar tasting, and the atmosphere on the whole just was not conducive to young families, despite having a kidsmenu...odd. Dont waste your time or money, there are places downtown that actually make good food, this just isnt one of them.
Such a great place! Very accommodating staff, amazing selection, delicious food! Buzz on over soon & often! 🐝😉
Ate here with colleagues on business. Hive is right off Broad...I did hesitate when I saw bars in the windows of the surrounding business, as its not for decorative purposes. With that said, the interior was nice and a great selection of beers and small plates. We split poutine, and I have to say it was done really well! The Thai wings were also good. Id readily come here again!
Great local restuarant & bar! We love that they change their taps out regularly, so you never know exactly what theyll have. You have to look at their taps list online & order by tap # because they rotate drinks as taps run dry. Also, they have AMAZING poutine.
It was by luck I came across this little place. The poboy sandwiches are amazing one day ill try something different but they are so good. They have a huge selection of beers they normally keep over 100 on tap but beware when your beer is out they replace it with a totally new kind.
Honestly I wish this place lived up to expectations.1) They served us (bottled) beer that was past the expiration date (?!)2) Their “mixed” drinks are premade...not actually made. And honestly tasted ~okay~ despite being pricy3) Maybe we picked a bad day, but they advertise having plenty of draft beers but were out of almost allWouldn’t recommend
HUGE selection of unique beers, wines, and cocktails. The lighting is perfectly dim creating a relaxing atmosphere. There is a large hanging screen that cycles through the menu as well as an iPad they give you to peruse for the perfect drink. My wife and I enjoyed our time here and look forward to coming back to try the food as well.
The beer aelection is second to none for those who favor dark beers year round like myself. Web served menus that constantly update mean that you dont have to worry about ordering a drink and finding out that they are out of stock. The appetizers are great, the atmosphere is awesome. The prices are a bit high, but expected from anywhere that has such a large selection of craft beer.
WOW!!!! Great find, the fresh made whole grain bread used for the grilled cheese is amazing. Cool fact is they use the grains from local breweries so the bread is never the same.Yummy home made pickles and the sweet potato fries with their special sauce I would say best in town.The grilled cheddar and smoked Gouda with apples and carmalized onions is wonderful.We will be back for sure!
Great food!! amazing waiters! Love the beer selection and they are always up front about everything. Made reservations tonight to take my fiancé. As soon as we were seated the waiter took our drink orders. When he brought them to us, he explained to us that they were having kitchen troubles and that we couldnt order what we originally were planning on ordering. He didnt charge us for our coffee when we decided to go somewhere else.. Great place
This is one of my favorite places to go. My boyfriend spends ten minutes looking over the beer menu just because there’s so many options! If it’s your first time in Augusta, I would highly recommend this place!!
The Hive is a great place to go for craft beers on draft and food. They also have wine, mixed drinks, and interesting non alcoholic brews like ginger ale and root beer. The selection changes though so you might want to check their website beforehand.The atmosphere is just alright. Its friendly but very dark inside. The floor and walls are pretty bare so as soon as people start enjoying themselves it gets LOUD.Pretty cool place!
I love this place because of the wide selection of beers they offer and how easy is to pick from their website to order. My favorites are the flights so I can order a variety of beers and find out which is my favorite. But I really like all of them
It was pretty good the only vegan options that we found in the area that was open on a Monday. We had the vegan Ruben sandwich, just wish it was hot
I went here Sunday brunch and ordered the shrimp and grits with crab Mac and cheese . It was AMAZING! My sweet server made the best suggestions . I ordered their signature cocktail I think it’s called the “jaded” . Everything was great. free parking great good and fast and friendly service . I’ll be back
The beer selection with the inventory of the tap on your phone shows you exactly what is left and what you can grab before anyone else. The food and atmosphere is fantastic. I would only say at busy times parking does get a bit tricky to find.
Sorry guys, I keep trying, and it doesnt get any better. Ive been three or four times and everything is just mediocre. I like great food and will gladly pay even hundreds for a good meal, but the food here is just disappointing, and all but one time has come out incorrect. I love craft cocktails- but here they are just plain bad. The beer list is huuuge, but poorly selected. The staff is awesome though. Theyre the only reason for the second star. In all, youre better off going to Arsenal, Abel Brown, or World of Beer. Two years ago I would have recommended Craft and Vine above all else, but they lost their incredible core staff and are in a serious decline.
The food was good but if youve got a gluten intolerance and want a sandwich or burger, dont count on there being GF bread. I checked ahead of time to see if GF bread was an option, and it was. We got to the restaurant, placed our order and after a few minutes, our server came out and offered me a cabbage leaf because they had no gluten-free bread. I can tell you theres absolutely nothing sadder than a sandwich on a cabbage leaf so I had to cancel my order and pick something else. I switched to a curry bowl which was good. My wife had a burger which she enjoyed.
The staff are amazingly friendly and knowledgeable about whats on tap and the food menu. The Hive burger, Philly cheesesteak, poutine fries and pretzels with fondue were all AMAZING and I highly recommend you order them. The food was so good I forgot to take photos (My bad).The parking is terrible but its downtown Augusta so thats to be expected. Overall I thought this place was a hidden gem and we will be back.
We are passing through and saw good reviews and decided to drop by. The waitress was good but I didnt eat my food. The sweet potatoes were burned and soggy. The burger was not the best. We notice the Male waiter rubbing his nose then walked over and grabbed someones glass. 3 Stars because our waitress was friendly and the locals seemed to have a good time. For us we can pass.
Decent place. Not really my type of food, but still pretty good. Enormous beer menu, almost intimidating, but options are always good. Again, not really my taste, but nothing negative to say about them.
Over priced for the quality of food, service was at a snails pace, there were only 2 other tables and a few other servers, so it was pretty mind boggling, the waitress didnt know anything about the beer selection. Dont care to come back to this place! But if youre into kaleslaw and paying more for buzzwords like locally sourced and small batch this is a great place.
Great selection of beer. Food is decent. Lots of fried options but it is a beer joint... as for service, its awkward. Might be able to get another beer after the bartender gets done making out with her girlfriend.
The reason for only getting four stars is due to the beer list, which I actually did not find particularly impressive. For a bar that claims to have 61 beers on tap, I was not a fan of most of the dark beers they actually did have. Also, none of the staff seems particularly knowledgeable about beer, which just seems wild when so many beers on tap is kinda your thing. Instead of having a beer menu, they make you go on their website to look at their list.
A friend and I went on a Friday evening, trying something new. Seated fairly quickly with a wonderful server. Unfortunately the food did not wow me. We ordered 2 apps, the pretzels w/fondue (delicious) and 2 tiny chicken tacos (dry unseasoned). Had higher hopes with the entrees. My friend ordered the curry bowl with shrimp and chicken that comes with a choice of rice and veggies... they forgot the shrimp. I ordered the teriyaki bowl with shrimp. There was so much sauce my food was swimming. First time experience was meh. Maybe I’ll try them again and order something else.
Huge selection of beer! The beer menu is online, which is kind of fun. They rotate the taps pretty often, so theres always something new. The sandwiches are great too.
Really cool place with a great assortment of drinks and a good vibe to it. I personally felt that the food was a bit boring though and that the menu could be improved upon. Not someplace I would recommend for eating, but definitely for getting together to drink.
My husband called to make reservations on a Friday and was told that reservations could not be made for parties less than 6. We decided to stop by after work and wait for a table. Upon arrival, the bar area was full and approximately 3 tables were in use. We were told that it was a 45 minute wait due to reservations and there was literally no one waiting. There were more empty tables than there were tables in use. And most of the available tables seated 4, not the 6 required for a reservation. We loved The Hive prior to this experience, but the poor customer service tainted our impression.
The root beer was fabulous! The grilled cheese had a bit too much cheese in relation to the apples and caramelized onions. The balance was off some. The other two people in the party enjoyed their meals.
They have great beer, excellent food, a wonderful atmosphere, and you can get growlers of beer to go! Seriously, what isnt there to love about this place?! You have to go, and try some of the flight options for the beer so you can try as many as possible.
Very cool spot off Broad St. Excellent variety of drinks and a small assortment of items that you can only find at places like Trader Joes.
Very eclectic. Super organic, not our kind of place but very nice. I saw people of all ages there. This is more of a sandwich place but they definitely have alot of good beer!!! I would go here again!
Went with a party of 10. Shared appetizers. Wings ordered “Cajun” flavored and were just fried, no flavoring at all, just fried. Sweet potato fries extremely greasy. Crawfish balls with rice very mushy and flavorless. Entrees of fish and chips, you could tell fish had been pre-breaded from frozen which is not expected with a $14 price and portion was very small, especially for price as well. Service was sub par, water glasses too small as I saw the guy that filled them more often then I saw our waiter. Chairs wobbly and uneven, very uncomfortable. Alcoholic drinks VERY over priced especially for not having a “ full” bar. Not impressed and will not return.
Good food. Excellent fried pickles. Vast beer selection, however, the beer menu is only on their website so everyone was constantly on their phone which distracted from conversation.
The Hive is my go to joint in Augusta. Excellent beer selection and good food. The waitstaff is good, but highly recommend sitting at the bar with Leslie or getting a table in Robins section!
Horrible service. Server spilled water on me and didn’t even say a word. Ordered the nacho burger that looked like something off the kids menu. Also ordered the Pretzel fondue and the pretzel was harder than the table. Then they added 18% gratuity on a five top. Everyone there seemed to hate their jobs. If I ever return, it will be only for drinks.
Customer service was awesome. Our waiter explained to us in great detail about all the food and the origin. He offered us suggestions and everything we ate was outstanding. If youre a foodie youll appreciate this place.
Really great bar foods. The boiled peanuts are our favorite. They also always have a huge selection of taps with a cool interface to give treal time data on keg levels. Never a disappointment!
This is a great spot to get some wine or beer to go or if you want to sit inside and enjoy their pizzas and on tap beer you can do that too.
Great selection of beer. If you cant find something you like here, you just dont like beer (Hive: you owe me royalties if you use that tag line). The food was good, the atmosphere was great, and the staff were very helpful and friendly.
Atmosphere 9/10...music was a bit loud, struggled at times to hear my date. Service 10/10 Timely with the drinks, extremely knowledgeable with the beer menu, couldnt habe asked for better. Drinks 10/10 hard to argue with that large of a selection. Food...7/10 the poutine...outstanding! Definelty went to wrong place for a Cuban or a Philly. Id go again for the poutine & potentially try a burger.
Quite a nice bar! I was pleasntly surprised. This is the first bar where everything on tap is displayed on a very large and pleasant electronic display which makes it far easier to order your beer and you never have to crowd the bar or pester the bartender to see what is on tap (and there are over 50 options so that is especially nice!). There is also some really nice food! The restuarant next oor is a partner so anything you order comes from there. There are options for vegetarians and omnivores alike!
Our whole experience with the Hive has been amazing. We chose to have my husbands birthday with them, and everything was smooth and wonderful from start to finish. When I arrived, our table for 18 was ready to go, the manager approached me and introduced herself, and our server Kiersten was incredible! Thank you so much for making his birthday memorable! We will definitely return in the near future.
Awesome place, didnt eat anything but the beer list was amazing. The display in store was a great feature, it showed costs per glass size, amount left in keg, etc. Id come back again.
I got the smoked Gouda nacho cheese burger and it was delicious. I got the poutine as my side and it was well worth the $1.50 upgrade. Our server was very helpful and checked up on us often. I definitely recommend this place.
My experience here was nothing shy of horrible. I was with a party of 15. The waitress was confrontational when I told her I did not like my order. Also our sangrias were watered down, and they mixed up two other peoples orders. I ended up having to speak with a manager who explained that they are not normally used to accommodating large groups and that the sever “didn’t mean to be rude”. I would like to add the other times I have been to this establishment it has always been in a large group. To end the night the waitress threw all of our checks on the table and had us sort it out ourselves..what a poor excuse for a restaurant!
Great variety of spirits and beers. You can sample different sizes (number of ounces per sample) and varieties or pick your poison in quantity. Stouts, IPAs Ales etc. Choices vary from common to exotic.Fast, polite customer service.VERY limited menu but whats offered is well prepared.
Youll be hard-pressed to find better prices for organic, locally-sourced food. All organic beef and pork, and chicken raised without hormones or antibiotics.I had three amazing tacos for dinner, each topped with kimchi, cilantro and avocado cream sauce - so good I ordered two more to go.Prepare your mind to decide between the dozens of beers on tap. An app will help you filter and pick your poison.Only opportunity for improvement I can see is for the wait staff. Bartenders could use some development in creating a great customer experience.
This restaurant has very attentive servers and the food is delicious! I love the burger here! I do wish they had a better selection of cocktails, but all in all still great!
Great food! Vegan and gluten free selections. More brews to choose... sure to find one you love. Great prices too!
Disappointing is the word that was used by all three people on my tab at the Hive Friday night. We were with a group of 5 and someone highly recommended it, and we love Bees Knees, so we gave it a shot. Very underwhelming, and still makes me upset to think about how much we spent on the total. I never leave reviews but this one was such a waste of my time and money I fell obligated.The service -One server came to our table but just as he was about to take our order, another came up and said she would help out. Bad idea. She clearly lacked experience. We asked for the same thing up to three times before she would bring it. She was gone for 20 minutes and never took our order or refilled our drinks. We finally asked another server to tell her we were ready and he just took our order. Once he started taking care of us, the manager (I think) also came out and started waiting on us. From then on, the service was much better, but we had been there for about 45 minutes before someone capable served us.The food -Dont waste your time. Ordered three apps for the table, the poutine, the meatballs, and the fried pickles. Table seemed to love the poutine, I enjoyed the pickles, but we never got the meatballs. When we reminded our server that we ordered them, she said, Oh the kitchen is out. Well thanks for telling us thirty minutes after we asked for them. My ribs were cooked well, but the Hive burger, their big thing, was a big disappointment for my husband and sister. It was small, very basic, and they said it was very dry. Also, for a craft restaurant, they only had one legitimate IPA on their menu. Im not talking white IPA or session IPAs, but IPA. Despite that, when my husband asked her what they had she said oh we have so many IPAs Ill have to bring you the menu - which is digital and wasnt working. The search function was pulling up everything so we just ended up having to read through every description to find something. They brought the two burgers out wrong, and they didnt split the bill correctly.Seems to me they just dont take the time to listen.All in all, their limited selection, poor service, incorrect information, disappointing food, and poor listening skills made it a very frustrating evening.I enjoyed the fried pickles, and I enjoyed their gin and tonics (one of the few drinks you can order because they dont have a bar - just a few crafted drinks that they make, so you cant order anything other than the 8 on the menu), but that wasnt the worth the non-discounted $140 we paid for just the three of us on my tab. Hive left a very, very bad taste in my mouth and we dont intend to return.
Ordered appetizers that took a while. Our server Gabrielle was sure to check on us and apologize for the long wait, which was nice. My friend and I both ordered burgers. My friend was brought his burger from someone other than our server, and didn’t want to start eating until I got mine. 20ish minutes later I still had not got mine. At that point I told my friend to go ahead and eat because his burger was cold at this point. I canceled my order when Gabrielle came to refill our waters. She talked to the manager who had no solution other than the bacon was the reason for the wait. I have 2+ years in food and beverage and it’s unacceptable to bring someone’s food out and not to bring the other persons food out after shortly. Our server was fantastic though. Very kind.
Delicious craft beer, locally sourced, delicious food in a clean quiet environment. I love the amazing selection of beer, wine and cocktails...and the food is just so freaking delicious. The pretzel, tacos, everything! Yum!
Tuesdays are for tacos and beer. If youre looking for either then the Hive is a great place to go. Its a growler bar that also offers a great selection of quality food. You cant go wrong eith any of the tacos. They serve craft beers straight from the tap and feature my favorite brewery, Wicked Weed based in Asheville, NC.
Food is always great, love the poutine, and the service is awesome. Highly recommend.
Great place to go if you are celebrating with adult beverages, otherwise wear earplugs if eat inside. Large variety menu, would like some simple choices, not so spicy. Specials sounded good.
I went after lunch around 3pm so it was maybe 2 two others in the Hive. Staff was eager to seat us and get us started. The menu was diverse with new age items. Good choice of local craft beer and the food was delicious.
Very unique place in Augusta. The grilled cheese and Hive House salad are both amazing, and they have an extensive, changing list of local/regional/ national microbrews and a couple of unique cocktails.
Went here for dinner and had the quinoa bowls. They were nice but there was not many veges in it. We asked the waitress if they had almond milk to have with coffee and she said they did. We went back the following day to order coffee with almond milk and the waiter told us they don’t have almond milk. Very annoying. The staff need to learn what they do and do not serve.
Its cute here. There is a plethora of board games which you can play and tons of drinking options. I dont like that the extensive drink menu is ONLY digital with no paper menu floating around; you can view on your phone or on their iPad. I had the regular burger and was non plussed. It was fine but nothing special at all. The sweet potato fries pair well with the lemon aioli, the ranch tastes prevalently of dill, and the sriacha aioli was my favorite thing there.
Nice craft beer bar in downtown Augusta. I think they have about 70 taps, so theyve probably got what youre looking for. I went in the middle of the afternoon, and it was quiet - dont know what its like at night.
The owners need to be there! The food is inconsistent and the service is horrible. When you charge over 8 bucks for a sandwich it better be consistent. We have been going to bees knees for years unfortunately they have the same issues. When the owners are there service and food is amazing. They need to decide if they want to run a business or raise a family. We will not be back any time soon. This place is great if you have time and money to throw away.
The hive is a great place to purchase and drink beer. Their selection and knowledgable staff will ensure you find something to your liking. Popular and loud at night with good specials. Try their boiled peanuts (their special)! Food selection is adequate.
The beer selection is great and you can go the tasting route, which I always appreciate. The food is fresh and the only place where you can get a poke bowl. Yummm.
I purchased the Jedi coffee drink and made the mistake of saying I wanted it iced...so I got a cup that was filled 3/4 of the way with ice and very little coffee for around $5. Stick to hot coffee if thats what youre looking for when you go there.Theres a giant hole in the ceiling with water just dripping down on one of the tables with nothing being done about it.
Great burger and best fries Ive had in ages. The choice of beers is humongous. 78 different types. One is sure to meet your delight.
A great selection of beers and some tasty cheeseburgers..
Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. The breakfast burger was so good!!! All of the food is served hot and you can taste the freshness!!! I will return again!
This place is just amazing. The food is delicious, fresh and unique and they have an extensive local craft beer menu. I wish they were open later.
Still my favorite place to try new beer. If youre sorry hungry a sandwich or burger. The poutine us amazing, not a fan of the salads, but thats a personal preference.
Really cool beer and wine selection, with a unique style on it. Had a Prosecco, from tap! Wings were tasty too. Much more modern and hipster ki d of vibe to the area
Good beer selection and food was tasty. The boiled peanuts were awesome. Good place for a casual night out and a spot to meet up with friends.
Bartender cross threaded the cap on my growler and it emptied all over the carpet in the backseat of my car. The caps are heat shrinked so you cant even check if its on right. They offered a refund on the beer but that wont come close to the cost of cleaning this mess. I wanted to like this place but I dont plan on coming back.
Great local watering hole! With a huge beer selection, so many that you have to go to their website to see the entire selection. Food was very good too. We got the Philly steak and poutine fries.
We love The Hive! My husband and I come here whenever we get the chance. They have a great selection of drinks, and I love that The Hive is eco-friendly. I havent had anything here that wasnt delicious.
Great waiter! Good advice on what beers he had sampled and honest advice on which beers he hadnt sampled. Great atmosphere for after work hangout and happy hour. Food was good too!
Great beer selection with fun staff. The grilled cheese and boiled peanuts take childhood staples to the next level! Love the decor featuring local art.
Second time Ive visited this bar as a visitor in the city. Great food, beer , wine selection and support of local farmers plus plus!! I will.continue as a patron here every opportunity when in the city.
I dont drink draft beer, but there is a huge selection. The desserts were good. Root beer floats, yeah.They have bourbon, but not Manhattans.
Im just not a big craft beer person but my friends wanted to go here. So many beers its hard for me to find one I like. Service is slow a most of the time.
Different styles of good beer from several places at one place, Hive!
It was an okay bar. The staff was helpful and friendly. The beer selection was great, but the scene for a Saturday night was dead. I expected more because I had hear nothing but great things about the place. Maybe it was an off night.
In terms of hipness and good service, it fit the bill. In terms of food, it was just okay. My husband ordered a cheeseburger but he wasnt crazy about the gouda cheese and I ordered the cajun garlic fries which was heavy on the cajun but barely perceptible about the garlic.
The food was okay, but nothing memorable. The main issue I have with this is the culture. Sorry, but it just seemed really pretentious. The hostess was very nice but our server seemed like upset that he had to give us more time and that we had questions??? Maybe he was having a bad day, but idk.
Farm to table menu with great selection. Plus, over 40 beers on tap. As a matter of fact, all of their drinks are on tap. It is a truly awesome experience.
Food is good if a bit over priced. Service has been slow for multiple visits now. You can go your whole meal without seeing the waitress, but it looks to be a staffing issue.
The food is always delicious and staff is always great. Drinks are easy to choose even if youve never really had beer.
So much beer and a cozy atmosphere! They also have food for just about anyone. My husband and I are vegetarian and we actually had to narrow down what we wanted!
The beer selection is amazing, the wait staff is atrocious. The food somehow is a little better at the bees knees next door even though they share a kitchen. Get your beer at Hive and food/good service next door.
I ordered the poke bowl and it was unbelievably bad. The tuna did not appear to be cubed sashimi grade. I received bits and pieces all appearing to not be as fresh as it should it was off color not beautiful and rich. The boudin balls and Po boy was also terrible!!!!!!!! If they don’t know how to cook Cajun food or prepare true poke they should stop NOW and not subject diners to garbage! We ordered delivery and the food was so poorly prepared I want to drive to the restaurant and throw the food back to them! Augusta restaurants offer poorly prepared food and poor service. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE.
Eh. For Augusta it has a good vibe and good selection of craft. However, had the cocunut curry veggie dish. Very mediocre at best. It was very bland. Could really only taste the pepper. The tofu seemed like it was cut straight from the block and dumped in as an after thought.Husband had a cuban sandwhich which was decent.
Amazing food and excellent service! Menu has a variety of food options to choose from! I definitely recommend this location for a casual eating experience. Surely will be coming back!
If you like beer this place is for you. If you are not a beer drinker, they do have a couple craft cocktails that are good. Poutine was delicious, so were the boudin balls.
Great fresh tasting grubs, and a beer selection thats constantly changing so there is always something new to try! The staff are also very knowledgeable about the drinks on tap.
Cool place with an insanely large selection of beer. The food tasted great and was very reasonably priced compared to other restaurants near.
Being a paralyzed disabled veteran, though Ive not dined in the actual restaurant, mine came through AUGUSTA TOGO food delivery service. The delivery fee was absolutely fair, and the food, it was like POW in my mouth. I got the Rib dinner plate, and a side order of one of my favorites, BOILED PEANUTS! Im sucking on the juice out of the boiled peanuts now. I got so many Ribs that I can have seconds later. Or split it with someone. If only beers can be delivered
Only eaten here once as a stop during a bike ride. But the food was great! I had the crawfish boudin balls.. they tasted amazing, only wish there were more with that meal!
After my visit to Beeskness’s I stopped in for a sample at the Hive, great service and the food was awesome, I got the veggie Toco and sampled the red wine, no dissipointment here. I would recommend this establishment upon your visit to Augusta!
Food was good but good was the second time in a row that our order has come out incorrect the first time. Staff is friendly and it was fixed, but still no fun waiting for burgers to cook twice when youre hungry.
To be looked at 3 times and not greeted by the not too busy barstaff wasnt a problem, but the 4th was too much, particularly with the smug attitude when asked if we could order a few beers. How were we different than those around us? This experience was unlike previous at The Hive, but this experience deserves a low rating.
Decent rotating beer selection, just dont expect the wait staff to know what they are. No printed list either. I was told to look at their website if I wanted a list of what was on tap.
Food and beer excellent. I had a Smoked Gouda Nacho burger with casserole chips and the Madtree beer. You must try them too.
Great beer and food with a helpful, and freindly staff and convenient website with all their beverage options available. Great place to meet friends and just hang out.
No printed beer menu. Have to log in to s janky website to see the beer list. Wait staff was not too friendly. Enjoyed the food and the space.
Burger was ok. But what a way to screw your customers. They charge for refills on iced tea. I mean, really? ? What a ripoff. No warning. Im sorry, but i thought i was in the United States, not Europe.Wont be back.
First if your looking for a place to drink beer this is it. If you want a mixed drink or a shot not here. The food was mediocre at best but I’m sure all the hipsters love it.
Love this place. Great drinks, good food, excellent service. The bread for the grilled cheese was excellent. I want to visit Augusta again just to eat here.
Had togo order steak with fries and order boiled peanuts. Great flavors and cook on steak, if any comments steak could be thicker, boiled peanuts a little hot for me, regular option would be nice.
Grass-fed, organic when available, and compostable take out containers. And the food is amazing. This eco conscious health nut is happy with another dining option in Augusta that I can actually eat at.
Wish we ordered twice as much poutine. Its so good! The yaki bowl and bauernhouse beer are also delicious.
Excellent all around. Beer list on their website. Canned cocktails surprisingly good. Enjoyed the food.
Love it, sample great IPAs, sandwiches are awesome, and take whatever beer you want home if you buy a growler.
Being from Tampa FL, craft beer is a must!!The Hive made me feel right home with their massive selection of craft beers!!Love this place as I drove from Tampa to visit!!
Service was great, selection of drinks was fun. Favorite was one of the meads, in California not a lot of place have it so it was different and enjoyable
Excellent beer selection, with a live tap list. I had the breakfast burger and it was one of, if not the best burger in the area.
Great beer selection and friendly staff.
They offer a huge selection here, and conveniently have it all on their website and tablets for you to easily look through. I had the Orpheus and Monday Night scotch ale, both very good.
The food was tasty and the waitress was super nice. Loved the little tacos I got. And the BBQ Burger was very tender. Will go back
I have heard good things. We didnt even finish our beers. Way too hot inside. May try again in cool weather or when we could sit outside.
If youre a local of Augusta and looking for something new downtown check out the hive. While the cuisine is nothing to write home about the atmosphere and diverse selection will leave you overall pleased.
Great rotating beer selection. I would definitely say its the best in town, and a must visit for any craft beer enthusiast.
The food here is much better than what you would expect from a tap bar and the beer selection is huge. Service is always great.
The food is so good. The services is great. Zack was a awesome bartender. I love the varity of taps they have.
Brought a friend from out of town and we loved it! Good poutine, good grilled cheese, great drinks. Nice atmosphere and artwork.
This place is the new age bar. The electronic beer list and keg monitors are the way all bars should do it. Big fan.
Get lunch menu, enjoy the Hole in One! Smokey pimento cheese with fried green tomatoes. It was delicious.
Usually has an excellent variety on tap, the food is pretty good aswell. Growler fills alot more exspensive than competition
Excellent place to enjoy a beer. Huge selection of beer. I was not as impressed with the food.
Food was delicious. I LOVE their beer list. Were headed for a growler.
Great local hangout with a good atmosphere.
I cannot express how grateful of an experience we had today. Staff, food, and facilities where on point. As always love the concept. Keep downtown on the right path guys! :)
Excellent experience! I loved the decor and the massive variety of beer. I will probably come back just for the Coco Vitra!
I love eating here. the service here is outstanding. the bill was appropriate. atmosphere is like a restaurant in fort worth i loved.
Awesome menu of locally sourced food and a vast beer list - all set in a building that has been nicely restored
Great food but needs a few more gluten-free options. I love the trendy atmosphere and attentive service.
Great food and lots of good beer on tap. Just didnt like having to use my phone for a beer menu.
Awesome beer selection and cool taps! Friendly staff made my experience even better!
Excellent food, beer, atmosphere and staff. Loved it and will go back next time were in town.
Cheese and charcuterie board were very disappointing. They are cut into small squares like dog or cat food and they give you squares of bread, not crackers.
This place has a great drink selection and really good food. Nice spot for a happy hour or dinner.
Best selection of craft beer in Augusta! Food is much better than your average bar!
Love this place! Such a cool vibe, excellent beer, and lots of vegetarian/vegan selections.
An amazing selection of vegan, vegetarian, or meat options for lunch and dinner. My wife and I really enjoyed the food and the service was amazing!
I love the varieties of grilled cheeses and fresh seasonal menu items from time to time. Service has always been great as well.
Cool concept, have to use the app for the beer menu but it also shows how much is available which could show the more popular selections...

2022-03-20Immediately welcoming. The food is amazing and unique. Fig coffee and all kinds of interesting delicious pastries. They host and support art events and artists. Theyve adapted and added things that bring something unique to the area. Vintage albums and clothes, hosted live paintings, co ops with local bakers and plant nurseries. I hope the continue to evolve. Glad they are in the downtown.

2022-01-18I love this place! Been here several times. A well executed concept with the grocery/bar. The prices are great. I love the quinoa bowls and salad and adore pretty much everything they have to sell in their market. The bar staff have all been lovely and knowledgeable. Beer selection is fun, quirky, and rotates often. One of my favorite things are their cajun boiled peanuts—an intricate exchange of salt and heat that is alluring. Comes with the drink if you get one. The atmosphere is low-key and relaxing. Anime or 90s sitcom shows dance quietly across the TV screens as you enjoy your meal or beverage. A refreshing change from all of the sports bars and definitely worth the experience. 🐝🍯

2019-03-31I always order one of the ciders. This time was a strawberry cider that was light, crisp, and not too sweet. The boiled peanuts are tender but not overcooked... they also have a bit.of heat. This time I ordered the gyro with sweet potato fries. Oh so good!!! The meat was marinated and was tender and delicious!! Mouthwatering to say the least!!

2019-09-25I thought this place was great. The Hive salad with that miso-honey dressing was delicious. I also got one of the bowls and it was awesome...I could of ate 2. It is pretty well priced...except the cans of diet coke that cost $2.50 a POP. They have a huge menu with burgers, sandwiches, and some amazing looking grilled cheese.

2019-01-01Great place to get a variety of beers from different breweries and different styles. Fairly priced. New Years Eve special, 25% off all taps. They have beer, mead, wine, and coffee

2020-02-25Small but a great place for food and drinks. They offer flights of beer and they have a huge selection of beers on tap. All the beers are on their website and you use either your smartphone or their tablet to choose the beers that you want. Stay away from the wines they are not good. I highly recommend the smoky apple grilled cheese it is life changing.

2017-07-01Enjoyed lunch had the half salad with REALLY GOOD bean burger patty which was $5. Kids meals are basic but good only $2 (drink not included) mom had a philly without the bread $11. The craft Ginger soda was awesome and not overpriced. Service was friendly. I look forward to going back.

2019-12-16This place was super cute and had a lot of options. I only went for drinks but they few drinks I tried were great. They have beer, wine, and cocktails on draft. I went during happy hour so it was 15% off. They have so many options so you’re definitely likely to find something you like.

2019-09-05Delicious Poutine! I love Poutine and have a hard time finding it so I was excited to try theirs. The fries were thick and the gravy was flavorful. My friends tried it and loved it too. I had the Yaki bowl as well and was very happy with it. Great flavors on everything.
