I wouldn’t wish my worst enemy to visit this place. First time visiting Duluth, and we’ll save my review of the city for another time, but here’s a simple, unfiltered, one-word teaser, awful. After attending a great concert, my boyfriend and I were trying to find a bar to have a nightcap. This bar was our third choice, because the other two bars we had tried were unimpressive and smoking-friendly. Non-smoking bars didnt seem to exist in Duluth. Anyways, we were ubering to our third choice feeling a little discouraged by our experiences, but optimistic that Sweetwater would save us from the misery that is Duluth. If you can imagine My Cousin Vinny crossed with Deliverance, this bar would be in that movie. However, we tried not to judge this bar by it’s cover, and we decided to give it a shot. We step inside, and what do you know, it’s smoking-friendly. I walk up to the bartender and ask if they have a patio, without looking up she gives me a short “no” and continues typing up on her register. Now, I ask if they have a non-smoking section, and still, I get no eye contact and an ever shorter “no”. Without any other words, she walks away. Well, her horrible attitude was enough to decide to leave, but before we made our exit, I just wanted her manager to know they were about to lose some customers. I asked the bartender if I can speak with the manager, and this time she looked at me and stated “Baby, I am the manager.” After a bit of back and forth, she brought out a guy who identified himself as “Buddy the Manager”. I hate to throw around personal insults, but I am fairly certain this guy had an IQ of 52. I tried to explain my grievance with the bartender, but he just kept looking off into the distance (I’m not sure what these people’s deal is with eye contact) telling me “we do not have a patio”. I swear he told me that at least six times, and he wouldn’t allow me to speak. Eventually, he stated “I don’t give a f**k about you”, and proceeds to walk away. Clearly, this guy was not the manager. The owner of this establishment should be embarrassed by his bar staff’s behavior. Needless to say, this was the worst bar experience I’ve ever had. I will never be back. See ya never, Sweetwater Bar and Grill. See ya never, Duluth.

I love this bar. Its a neighborhood bar with regulars and inviting staff. The whole establishment is friendly and they care about your safety. They tailor towards local music bands inside and outside the perimeter of Atlanta and promote community and group competitions for pool, darts and poker. Theres also a lively and successful karaoke company with a loyal and regular following; the karaoke host is professional, encouraging and laid back. The food is surprisingly delicious for bar food but I only give them 4 stars because food orders and drink orders can sometimes take awhile to come to you but the food is worth the wait. I am a 12 year regular at this establishment.

Nice dive bar. The only gripe I have is that it can get really smokey in there sometimes but overall I like the place. They have a lot to offer from Karaoke nights to Comedy nights and if you want to catch a good local band this is for sure a spot to go! The drinks are fairly cheap and well made and the food is pretty damn amazing. They also have a lot to offer too from darts to billiards as well. The bar is pretty standard stock but they move fast making drinks here every time Ive gone

I really came for wings and decided Ill grab a drink before I ordered. But when I decided to order the kitchen was closed.. Ummm its a bar and grill I would assume that the kitchen will be available until closing time. It was a whatever experience to me seeing that they didnt even make an effort. It was only 4min over the time the kitchen closes. I see this place is not about making costumers happy. So I wont be back unless its the last choice

Do not be fooled by the external appearance of this place. The service and food are great! The chef came out to ask about our order. I cant recall that EVER happening. We were in the area and found it and are really glad we did. There is smoking there (we arent smokers) but the ventilation is really good and we didnt even notice. Great place. Really glad we went. Visited around 1pm on a Saturday.

The Sweetwater Bar and Grill is the only neighborhood bar that is truely a Neighborhood Bar. There are many things to do. Everything from Keno to free bar tv poker to Live Texas Holdem with bar bucks for you tab to dart leages and pool leages. I simply love the place. Give them a try. Old Norcross Rd and Sweetwater Rd. Im a regular and my name is Mark you will see me there.

I went on a Monday night, and I was very disappointed at the service we waited 20 minutes just for two beers!! Plus I got charged for a hookah we never got. When I asked for a manager the bartender just ignored me. I am skeptical about going back because I enjoyed the Monday night open mic but if I do I am going to go already drunk from other competitor spots.

A place we discovered while looking for a local establishment that offered Buzztime Trivia. Definitely more bar than restaurant, it has fast friendly service, $5 lunch specials and is one of the few places in Gwinnett County that allows smoking. Our place to go for a satisfying inexpensive lunch and some trivia on a work day.

Full bar with everything, whatever you want they have. Friendly staff, cool atmosphere, smoking is allowed, but they are equipped with a hardcore filtration device. Wednesday karaoke is fun, comedy on Thursday is hilarious, and they always book awesome bands on the weekends. I havent been any other days.

Surprisingly good mahi sandwich. Watched the first USA World Cup game here a couple weeks back and had the best waiter Ive had in my entire life. I didnt catch his name but he was a hispanic fella and was SUPER nice and CRAZY fast plus he anticipated my beer orders in advance which is a huge plus for me.

this is a great place to go .. the staff has always been friendly, and its not operated by anti-smoking nazi a-holes. prices are good, the beer is always cold, and theres plenty of room. major props to this bar/grill.

My favorite neighborhood watering hole, normally go there just about every other weekend. My only problem is how smoky it gets in there, you leave the place reeking of cigarettes but its expected.

This is a great friendly local pool hall with a good menu, a laid back atmosphere. They have an attached event hall with its own bar, karoke,stand up and live music acts weekly.
