The 50 best bars and drinks in Chattanooga

My husband and I ate here on our last night during a recent trip to Chattanooga. We went with the chef’s choice tasting menu. Easily one of the best meals we have ever had! Service was great! I definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back!

Our new favorite! We stopped in for oysters and came back for dinner the next night. We loved the clean, modern ambiance and chill vibe. Every dish wast delightful & delicious. Great selection of oysters, the heirloom tomatoes & stone fruit was so flavorful, the tuna & peaches came with a perfect little punch of spice, rum cake & profiterole were divine! Excellent service, impressive chefs and the jovial teamwork really made it an experience. We’ll be back for our anniversary next year! Thanks for an awesome time!

Great experience with fun and delicious food. We shared all of our plates and it was a fun dinner for everyone. Management was totally engaging and all of the servers were very accommodating and helpful.

Every dish was outstanding. The drinks were well crafted. Our waitress (forget her name) was the perfect amount of attentive and very pleasant. Highly recommend the beef tartar and the snapper small plates!

The Easy Bistro is our go to for delightful cocktails, appetizers, and dinner. The happy hour oyster selection is wonderful. The chicken liver pate exceptional and all of our dinner selections have been truly delicious. Don't miss this one.

We went there for dinner and honestly, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the service was excellent. As for the food, don’t miss the trout — it’s amazing. The pork chop isn’t the best option, but it’s fine overall.

By far one of my favorite restaurants ever! Always get the chefs choice menu with the wine pairing, it’s a great way to taste many items on the menu! James our server was awesome and the whole staff is amazing!

First time here after enjoying a walk on the nearby trail. It was a nice relief from the late July heat. Wait time for us (party of 8).was roughly around 15 minutes, which was phenomenal, considering it was a packed house. Our server was terrific and energetic. Very tentative and checked on our party to make sure everything was to our liking. The wait for our food wasn't horrible either. Maybe 15-20 minutes after we placed it with our server. Everything was extremely fresh and hot. Portions were very good and the prices reflected on the quality of the food. I would be glad to pay it again for the dishes we received and the service. Dessert was also exceptional. The portions for it were very generous. Overall, it was a phenomenal experience. I'm definitely going to make a stop at this place if im ever in town again.

Went to visit Chattanooga this labor day. Decided to give this place a chance. It was so nice. So beautiful. We started with the New Orleans BBQ shrimp. Absolutely delicious. Very flavorful. Then I had the Texas dip sandwich and my partner had the grilled salmon. We ended up with the Sunday ice cream last. I highly recommend this place for either a romantic time out or to have a fun get together. I could remember our servers name. He had glasses, brown hair, tall, and wore a green and purple bracelet. He was absolutely amazing. Knew the menu and suggested so many good things to us.

This was my first time actually loving a fish dish at an American restaurant! I usually don’t like cooked fish or dishes like this, but this one was amazing. Definitely the best restaurant I’ve tried in Chattanooga so far. The salad was unique. It was SO GOOOOOD. and the fried calamari was perfectly crispy. not greasy at all. I’m drooling looking at these photos😭

I love the large patio overlooking the Tennessee River. Gorgeous views. While we waited for a table, we sat at the bar and had a few drinks. The bartenders were excellent. Very friendly and always checked on us. We had an amazing table outside and with the sun going down, the view was fabulous. I am allergic to seafood but they were able to accommodate to make sure my food was safe for me to eat. Everyone loved their dinner. It came out hot and delicious. We had the bread pudding and didn't want to stop eating it, it was outstanding. Definitely recommend if in the area to eat at.

Come here! Any wait is worth it. I would have gladly waited hours. The food is that good. I had the murder bay oysters and whole smoked trout. The Trout was cooked perfectly. The view outside is beautiful too. My kids loved their fried shrimp.

We did have to wait awhile for our table since it was busy and we requested for outdoor seating, but we managed to wait it out at the bar. Bartender was wonderful. Table service was also great and everything came quickly.

The fried okra is highly recommended. The steak was fresh, tender, and delicious. The fried fish plate was seasoned perfectly and crispy. The service was fast and exceptional, making for a great overall experience.

We loved everything from walking in to when we left. It was an experience not just dinner out. The atmosphere was cozy elegant, booth cushions were velvety soft with great support, and staff were friendly and helpful. Our server was so kind, knowledgeable and helpful explaining different menu items. The chef and his staff prepared mouthwatering dishes with top quality ingredients, that are pleasing to the eyes and taste buds. We were a party of 3, every dish was delicious and we shared them all. Our first time, but definitely not our last!

Great overall experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent but there just wasn’t anything that was over the top. We had the crab cakes and the scallops for a first course. They both were smaller than expected but very good. I like my crab cakes with a little more crust and a little larger. However they were very good. We also had the potato leek soup and it was excellent as well. Really enjoyed it. For our main dish, my wife and I had the Halibut. Others at our table had the Bison ribeye and beef filet. Another situation where everything was great. Same with desserts, all excellent but tour probably not going to tell people how awesome they were. The atmosphere and service were top tier and I would definitely recommend this place. You WON’T have a bad meal here. It was worth the money and everyone really enjoyed it.

The whole experience was wonderful! All of the staff were friendly and personable. The food was amazing! There are meeting rooms that are beautiful. There was a party of 100 upstairs and we couldn't hear them . We ordered the Charcuterie Board and it was so good we forgot to take pictures. We also ordered the fried goat cheese which was delicious.

Wow! What a place to dine. I’ve been all over the world and eaten at some of the finest restaurants and I can say with certainty this was one of the best meals of my life. The food was unctuous but not overbearing. Our server Cait was knowledgeable and friendly and on point. The dining room was classy and laid back but super elegant at the same time. I cannot rave highly enough about this place.

I haven’t been to a nicer restaurant in all of Chattanooga. The building is so beautiful and truly adds to the special experience this place provides. The bartender is fantastic, we had a few delightful cocktails prior to dinner. Our server, Margaret, was absolutely lovely. Everything we ordered, with a few recommendations from our server, was delicious. She really made our anniversary special. I’m so glad Chattanooga has a restaurant of this quality. We will definitely be back.

The food was outstanding, service by Joy was impeccable. First time here, and was truly one of the best meals and experiences I’ve had. Thank you to Laura for making our mine and Jessie’s anniversary so special!

Absolutely a wonderful experience. The new location is amazing and exceeded expectations. The staff was amazing and the food was equally amazing. I cannot wait to come back.

I would consider public house an elevated meat and three type place which I like since we don’t have anything like that in town. We have always made reservations and get seated immediately. The staff has always been top notch as well. The bar makes a great drinks always the old fashions and they are great. For apps the pimento cheese and fried pickles are amazing but the bbq carrots and ranch are next level! I am a vegetarian so I always order the vegetable plate and everything is Fresh and good and not heavy or drenched in butter. For dessert always get the carrot cake and love it.

We had our son's Rehearsal Dinner at Public House Chattanooga on 8/15/25 and we could not have been more pleased with everything they have done for us. From the planning with the event organizer to the delicious food, wonderful timely service, set up of tables were beyond amazing. I would give 10 out of 5 stars for them I can. I recommend them highly for your upcoming private gatherings. Special thanks to Laura Ellinor for all her help. She was very responsive, accommodating, polite, knowledgable.

Excellent fried chicken, which is marinated in southern sweet tea. You get a leg, thigh and breast. Very juicy and crispy. Mac n cheese was solid, too. We ordered the soup beans, but sent them back because they cook the bean al dente. As for deserts, key lime and carrot cake were both very tasty. Service couldn't have been better.

It's been years since I stopped here. What a treat! I enjoyed the lovely pot roast that was so tender and the sauce was rich. I enjoyed a side of beets with goat cheese and a small salad. Everything was delicious. One companion got the chicken livers with grits and hot butter sauce. The batter was too heavy so she was searching for the actual meat, but the flavor was wonderful with a kick of heat. A little more grits would have allowed her to soak up the sauce and pair with the healthy portion of chicken. My other companion enjoyed the roasted quail small plate. The inside was juivy with a crispy skin. We also ordered a special brown butter latte that was so smooth and tasty. It needed to be a little warmer, but the flavor was so good. Beautiful presentation for all the items and good service.

Excellent place for drinks and dinner. The staff is friendly too. Ate here two nights in a row. First night we had a reservation. But arrived 45 minutes early and they happily seated us right away. The next night we didn’t have reservations, but they found us room in the bar lounge. The pot roast was delectable, and you can’t compete with their shoe string fries!

I have to say this, maybe one of my faite restaurants in Chattanooga. The food is so delicious. I never have been one to like steak, but this place literally made me like steak. It has the perfect seasoning the perfect tenderness and everything you feel like you’re fine dining but for the prices is not horrible at all this is my favorite place to go to for occasion. The only thing that I would say that is kind of annoying as you have to reserve a while ahead we got lucky and went on a day that wasn’t busy but we sat outside and if you do sit outside, just beware it is loud with traffic and firetrucks lol. But this is one of my favorite places and I will be coming back.

Everything was very good, staff was attentive, engaging and knowledgeable, the food was well-prepared, and good portion size, (the plating was a bit disjointed, making the portions looked smaller). A solid service! A bit more cohesiveness and creativity in the dishes would have earned 5 stars.

This place is excellent all around. Has great food and an even greater atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place for a nice date evening, a celebration, or anything of the sort, this is the place to go. Their menu changes every now and then but every new dish is almost always a hit. Service has also been great every time I come here.

Good dining experience with a focus on expertly crafted cocktails and delicious pasta. While the popular beef ribs and grouper are noted for being well-cooked, both turned out to be very salty. Super high praise for its exceptional, A+++ service. ❤️Tennessee mountain road cocktail

Everything was perfect! Four of us were in Chattanooga for a week on vacation. We liked Alleia so much, we went twice. Our server, Christopher (we requested him on our second visit), was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu items and the wine list. The food was amazing as the attached pictures will show. We will definitely return if we're in Chattanooga again.

Alleia is one of our favorite places in the Chattanooga area. We came again for our anniversary and certainly were not disappointed! My husband had the Braised Short Rib and I had the Mushroom Tonnarelli. Both were outstanding! Our server, Jake, was very attentive and didn’t miss a beat. The sangria & Tennessee Mountain Road were both great, as well as the chocolate cake. We always enjoy the atmosphere. We’ll be back for sure!

We had a fantastic experience at this Italian restaurant. We had a reservation and were seated right away—no waiting, which is always a great start. The standout for me was the house-made pasta. You can really taste the difference—fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. I’m a super picky eater, and I was so impressed that they were more than happy to customize my plate exactly the way I wanted. And boy, was it good. Every bite was spot-on. The place is also kid-friendly, which made the whole dinner stress-free for our family. From the welcoming staff to the delicious food, everything hit the mark. We’ll definitely be coming back.

The food and drinks were AMAZING!!! Alex was our waitress and she was SOOOO nice, caring and attentive. We asked her for suggestions around chattanooga and she was very willing to help us. The butternut squash Ravioli is the best Ravioli I've ever had!

Showed up late and the place was still packed—makes sense once you try the food. Hands down the best fried calamari I’ve ever had, and the sauce they serve with it is perfect. The pizza was just as good—full of flavor, great crust. No surprise this spot stays busy even close to closing time.

This restaurant in Chattanooga is very good, we had an awesome lunch. Our waiter was great, very knowledgeable of the menu. I just wish I had saved room to eat dessert, next time though!

Excellent! We came here for lunch while visiting Chattanooga. Everything was spot on! Our server Eli was friendly and attentive. The charcuterie was so good. The quality of the food is top notch. The drinks were also excellent!

My wife and I visited here 2-years ago when Josh Gates was in town. The location and atmosphere is great with phenomenal service not to mention the food. The food is indescribable delicious. This time we shared the Niman Ranch Bavette steak cooked medium which produce so much flavor. We also chose the upgraded potato salad, which blew us away. The fried potatoes took it to another level with bacon, mustard seed, mayo and Dijon. Highly recommend adding these potatoes to your dish. You won’t regret it. We also got the Homegrown - Mexican coke with peanuts (childhood memories) with Chattanooga 91 and Big Country Energy. To add to the meal is being served by Kimberly!

Been here twice. Probably my favorite restaurant in Chattanooga right now. They change up their menu so not everything in the photos is currently available (July 2025). One of the best burgers of my life, the Reuben was shockingly good (again, maybe the best ever).

The burger is obviously one of the best in the galaxy. But the thing that really zoinked my buds was the potato salad… ya’ll: I didn’t know potato salad could be the main character. Watch out. She’ll steal your man. Perfectly creamy. Perfectly tangy. I miss it whenever I leave. Also dare I say - one of the best martinis in Chatt.

Butcher shop, 400 Bourbins, and fresh cooked grass fed beef. I'm In!!! We had the burger and fries. Really good burger, I would suggest having the amount of grilled onions reduced, they were really good, but you may not want that many. The homecut fries were round and just right, with a really good salt on top. We got extra salt to add, it's worth asking for some. I ended up ordering the salt on Amazon to ha e some at home. Oh and BTW, they have choc chip bacon cookies. Dam! Parking is sparse, but there is road and pay areas, but go give it a try. the fresh meat looked great also, I got some of the breakfast sausage to bring home.

Such a great place! The bartender was as knowledgable as she was personable. She guided me through the menu to make sure I had the best experience as a first time diner, & phew! She hit the mark, to say the least. I’ll be thinking about that pork chop for years to come. Thank you!❤️

The Pickle Barrel is such a fun spot with a unique twist that makes it stand out. The highlight for me has to be their perfectly fried pickle spears—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. They’re the kind of appetizer you keep reaching for until the basket is gone. To wash it down, the drinks are just as creative. The spicy pickle margarita is bursting with flavor and has just the right kick, while the pickle back shots make for a perfect pairing if you’re in the mood for something bold. Between the great vibe, friendly service, and one-of-a-kind menu, The Pickle Barrel nails that balance of fun and flavorful. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in town and want something memorable.

The presentation of the food was great. The problem was the food was not that good. They used cheap ham and turkey and really cheap probably Kraft like cheese and a wrapper. If they had a better ham and cheese in Turkey it would have been really great I really did like the bread. The salads were good and the ranch dressing was homemade. That's why they're getting a four-star. The atmosphere and the little location is a great unique place. Along with a second level like rooftop. A very unique design in the building. Just wish the food was better. The wings head good sauce on them and the ranch and bleu cheese were good. But they were just like lukewarm when they came out. We asked for extra crispy and they were not extra crispy.

Calming and charming environment. The absolute BEST hamburger I have had in YEARS and the hotdog was completely amazing 🤩 yes, my tiny 120 pound self had both.

What a great place! The atmosphere has a really cool feel, including the spiral staircase to the open air deck upstairs. Our bartender was friendly and accommodating, and the food was fantastic. The whiskey selection is very comprehensive and will surely have something you like. The Reuben sandwich was the best we’ve had. Don’t miss the Pickle Barrel on your adventures to downtown Chattanooga.

You are not secure in your papers if you go there. The doorman scans your driver's license into a database if you go there. Who knows what they do with that information. I have no problem showing my identification but I do have a problem for it to be scanned into a computer database without my prior knowledge until it was happening. BEWARE. THe staff took 45 minutes to bring a menu then another 15 minutes to take our order due to them being focused on trying to flirt with female customers. Once food finally arrived waited 15 minutes on salt and pepper to be able to start eating our Now Cold food. Sandwich was supposed to have thousand Island dressing on it but it didn't have any on it so I asked for some in the side to correct the problem myself but then was charged extra for something that it was supposed to have on it. Brought it to the attention of the employee and he said he did not know but failed to offer to correct the extra charge went ahead and paid it other than having to mess with it. Their signature house roast beef for the sandwich was like fillet of work boots very tough and not very flavorful hence the need for a lot of salt to be able to eat it. The couple shining stars of food are the pierogies and the french fries the french fries are like a petal-shaped fry that is very unique. $26 for one person another table got the mozzarella cheese sticks and they were huge at one point stretched out 3 ft wide as they pulled apart the cheese unfortunately did not catch that one on camera. This is a older building with some great unique options the second floor is not accessible due to spiral staircase access only and a step that you may trip and fall when entering onto the upstairs patio use caution

Really neat flat iron restaurant with great menu and drinks. Open until 3 am! We went earlier in the day and had pierogis and then came back for dinner. The Reuben, French Dip and OF COURSE the fried pickle spears were DELICIOUS! Lots of food with big portions so you could split the dish but who wants to choose just one! The EZ Breezy cocktail was delicious!

Love the vintage vibe, very cozy and still had a lot of original wood work! I had the pepper jammer burger and it was juicy with a lil kick and sweetness! I also had the spicy pickled margaritas which was the boom!

The last time I've been here was years ago. I came here with a friend for brunch, we sat outside on the patio and I ordered an avocado toast. It was good and we had a nice time. I would come back to try their other brunch foods. Recently I came with a large group of friends for some late night food on a Saturday night. There was a bunch of seating inside for all of us. I ordered the Black Bean Noods and added ground beef to my bowl. Wait time wasn't bad. After a few moments, a server came by and said that they forgot to add my hard-boiled egg lol. Service was good. I was looking forward to trying what I ordered, especially since I love black bean noodles. And maybe I was a little too excited or had high standards, but my black bean noodles didn't taste like the ones I've had in the past. I was pretty disappointed by it. I liked the pickles in my bowl, I liked the sauce and the consistency of the noodles was chewy just how I like it to be. The pickles added a nice acidity to the overall savory flavor profile. The ground beef was flavorful and added to the overall dish. It was a savory bowl but it lacked umami. When I tasted it, I knew it was missing something flavor-wise as a whole. My bowl was okay, just not spectacular to me. I think I would've been better off ordering the K-pop fries because my friend really liked it and it also had all the ingredients I'd like. For what I ordered, I felt like the price didn't correlate to the quality and taste of the dish. I wouldn't pay that much for what I ordered again. We still had a good time but I wouldn't order this again.

The bartenders were amazing and had great recommendations! The Fun Guy tacos and Creamsicle drink were both better than expected, noting I'm not sure what I was expecting or why 🤔😆 I would def order both again!

At The Bitter Alibi, the vibe is set, A cozy haunt you won't forget. The ramen’s wild — a flavor parade, Like miso dreams that chefs have made. The broth is bold, the noodles tight, Each bowl a twist, pure foodie delight. But what makes it shine, beyond the fare, Are the hearts and smiles that welcome you there. So raise a glass, don’t pass it by — Cheers to the crew at The Bitter Alibi!

Manuel! If you get the chance to sit and talk with Manuel, consider yourself lucky. He will be honest with you about food choices (not that anything isn’t good… just more explains what is on the menu vs what you’re craving & even considers pairing it to what you’re drinking). The wonton nachos. Do it. We had it with the ground beef and it was one of the best things we’ve eaten in Chattanooga. Manuel also makes a serious cocktail. He is passionate about the ingredients and knows what he’s doing!

Hipster vibes with amazing Ramen. This is a cool place to stop in for a drink or the ramen, which is something they’re known for. The building was once a house, converted to bar space with 2 floors & a front porch for seating. We chose the front porch since the weather was right & not overly hot. We both ordered the pork belly ramen, (BA Ramen on the menu) which did not let us down. It had some spice to it, but the right amount. If you’re a fan of ramen, this is a must try. We also tried the potstickers as an appetizer, which were great. Fair prices & friendly staff.

It was my second time at @thebitteralibi , this fusion dive bar has some amazing happy hour drinks and amazing food. The unique food is so good and the chicken sando was so massive, what a great value at $12.

Stopped in for Sunday brunch after looking over some reviews. It was a great choice. After ordering at the bar we found a table in the basement/bar area. It was a good vibe for a Sunday morning, being moderately busy. Our food was good. The best word to describe it is unique! The breakfast nachos had a sweet-smokey flavor that was accompanied well by the crunch of the wontons followed by a kick on the back end. The Cumberbatch was also very good and offset the flavors of the other dish.

Oddstory has been a go-to spot for years. I thought I had reviewed Oddstory so I’m sorry y’all! The service, drinks, food, and staff…all superb! I can’t say enough about how great this place is. The bar is welcoming, the food service window is consistently staffed by the most delightful folks, and there’s varied seating for whatever you’re feeling that day. Keep it up, we’ll see you again soon.

Awesome spot! - Great selection of drinks. They always have a wide variety of beer. I enjoy darker beers and they always have a few options for me to choose from. My wife doesn’t partake often and still had several NA cocktails, sodas and kombucha to choose from (pictured is blueberry basil kombucha). - Awesome layout. They have a huge outdoors area with a fenced off kids area, largely appreciated by us childless adults that like breweries. There is also an indoor area where you can sit if the weather sucks. - Parking is not ideal. Small dirt lot attached to the building. You can park on the street nearby and walk here easily. All in all a great spot.

Went for the 1st time on 16 July and had a blast. Tried local and foreign beers. The burgers are great. You have to order fries separately, but they give you large portions and they taste amazing. See pics!

Beer was great, burgers were great, Tikka Masala was great!!! Unfortunately they didn't make an old fashioned or any custom liquor drink other than the 4 or 5 they had pre-made but, it was still an excellent place and an excellent vibe!!

I am amazed by this place! Absolutely incredible sandwiches, burgers, and fries. The prices were very affordable and the food itself was just perfect (if You couldn’t tell by the half-eaten food in the photo). The KFC burger and the Anomaly smash burger are fantastic, along with the elote fries. This is the best burger and fries I have had in chattanooga so far.

This is my go-to local spot for great beer, tasty food, and friendly service. The only thing that rivals the variety of seating - perfect for any of my moods - is the solid selection of beers in all kinds of styles. Right now, I’m loving the Zora. It’s got a smooth wheat base with a nice fruity kick up front. The summer ale has also been a reliable favorite lately - refreshing and easy-drinking. I always go for the KFC Sando - it never misses. And speaking of consistency, the fries are always crispy. If I’m in the mood for a little extra flavor, I’ll upgrade to the Elote fries for that extra zing. On weeks I’ve already had the Sando (no regrets), the noodles or Smash Burger make great alternatives. The place is consistently clean - from the service stations to the bathrooms to all the tables and open areas. Plus, I can bring my kiddo or pups without any stress, which is a rare and awesome bonus. The open, airy vibe really sets it apart. It’s a popular spot for good reason, so if you’re planning to come on a Friday or weekend night, it’s worth checking the line situation ahead of time. That said, ordering your food at the front when you grab your beer has helped move things along. Either way, it’s never kept me away - because I know it’s worth it every time. Hope you get to enjoy it too!

Great selection of well-brewed beers, super nice staff and great food. The brisket tacos were outstanding, and my wife loved the smash burger. I recommend at least a small pour of the Soul Keeper Imperial stout, made with local Goodman coffee. Be careful, though, 10.1% abv.

Honestly, my only problem with this place is that it's such a fun atmosphere, that it could eat up your entire night just staying here. When I was here last week, I genuinely almost decided to not go to a concert just so I could hang out with the bartenders and the other patrons, because everyone is awesome. Not only are the drinks fantastic, but the culture and atmosphere is as well to the point where they attract cool people as customers. This place is a must go if you're going to be spending an evening out in Chattanooga.

I put food 5 stars...I really mean drinks! This is just a really fun experience all around. Wonderful speakeasy with great bartenders that will go completely out of their way to make you a drink the way you want it. Me and my date will be back! You should check it out will all it's little surprises! Can't wait for Christmas to see what they do!

We came during their 2025 Halloween theme, Alice in Wonderland, and had such a blast!! We were sat with Savannah, but every bartender that chatted with us was so funny, kind, and knowledgeable. The music was a perfect volume and the menu was so adorable. I had a delicious Ube daiquiri and my date had a lovely butterfly pea-elderflower tequila drink. The decorations were awesome and plan to come again if I’m in the area.

This bar had vintage vibes with a modern twist. Very cool place to hang out and have a few drinks. The staff and bartenders we're awesome!

I guess it's a cute spot. Service and drinks are less than ideal. $8.00 for a warm beer isn't my go to. Not horrible but it is very dark and I feel like the whole phone to get in thing is a little lame. Anyways, not a horrible spot but no great. I only come here when my female friends drag me along with them and it will continue to be that way.

My friend and I went to Unknown Caller, we enjoyed the drinks with a Jaws theme night! The drinks were not weak and they tasted great, with a creative presentation, we enjoyed outside seating this time, we generally enjoy the music and environment, I recommend trying Unknown Caller!

The Alice and Wonderland pop-up was so much fun! The atmosphere and the drinks were perfect. Definitely a great atmosphere for a date night. Staff were also incredible.

Very cool spot, great beer/shot prices! We did not have any cocktails or food but bartenders were great. We loved the pool! It was very clean for a Sunday afternoon (I had concerns about coming after a busy Friday and Saturday but it was great!) We were surprised it wasn’t busier on a Sunday afternoon, if we lived here we’d come by all the time

First the good thing, big place , good decoration, have a pool , fire pit and different games ( pool 🎱 table , Darts 🎯 and corn hole 🕳️, now I don’t know if was the day ( Sunday) or what , but i didn’t like the music ( made me sleep) no so many people, to be honest , bored 🥱 and service could have been better , they were paying more attention to the regular customers .

The music is loud inside and even louder out by the pool. The drinks and food were delicious! The chicken tenders and chicken Sammy had great flavor. The sandwich was more dry than the tenders, I believe because it’s thinner and they probably cook them the same amount of time. The potato wedges were delicious and our friends loved their smash burgers. We will be back!

We went for the first time August 30, and it was amazing. They were preparing for the Annual Beard Contest. The food was awesome and delicious. The Bourbon Bacon Brussels Sprouts were amazing. All the dishes were well worth ordering. Looking forward to going again.

So I went on a Thursday and the place had a great vibe. Madison and Makayla were dynamite. They were very attentive and informative on what food was good. What really impressed me was how engaged they were with each guest. Definitely on top of there game. I am a USMC veteran and have not received this quality and level of service in a long time. Definitely felt like a hometown bar even though I am from the North. Thank you to my bar tenders/wait stuff. 100% will come back.

we had a good time! we got there around 730 & were just in time before seating got too crowded. our food was amazing & our drinks were really good. I'm a light drinker and I ordered 2 rodeo queens, telling them I'm a light drinker and they were perfect, I was right on the line of sickness with 2, but they were really good!!! I know how to limit myself lol.

We did not come during peak hours, so we did not get the full experience, but it was still a great experience nonetheless due to our bartender/waiter Max. He did an outstanding job at taking care of us while also taking care of other guests who were there at the time that we were even though it was not busy. He offered to give us a tour of the restaurant and checked in on us often and always kept our water full! The food was also amazing and the drinks that were ordered from the bar tasted very good! They have a very good happy hour as well!

There are so many people and aspects to highlight about this venue - Liz was so professional and kind with her greeting upon my arrival. She sprinkles authenticity and hospitality. Exile is such a unique and open space with great tunes and character. The owners make it a point to greet you and ensure you have everything you need. Highly recommended!

The drinks are watered down with all the ice they put in the cups and are expensive for what you get. Only have one restroom and the music they be playing isn’t good at least for my taste.

Neat new beer only joint in Chattanooga. The whole thing is outdoors which allows for good social distancing. They have a few different spots for fires if it gets cold but we went during the day. They have a screen set up on one wall and a stack of old movies, so I think they may show some after it gets dark. They have a decent selection of beers and ciders. My friend and I enjoyed our afternoon and look forward to visiting again, hopefully with a fun 80's movie showing on the wall.

This dive bar is in a nice area. That is not usually the case. We went to the Saturday Market 3-6 PM. The bar is small but there is a patio area. They keep Santas on the roof all year round. There is a paid parking lot right next to the bar. The drinks are reasonably priced. The staff were very nice. They have a large selection of beers. I couldn't make up my mind as some of the beers I had never seen. The bartender didn't rush me.

The cutest little bar I have seen in a long time. It's 2 fireplaces outside in the "backyard", if I'm not mistaken. It's really cozy. It suits for going out with friends, romantic dates and I could even bring my parents here if they lived here. 🤣 nice music, supernice bartender. Will definitely come back!

Great spot to hang out with friends and relax. Reminds me of funky places I used to go to in Austin years ago before it changed a bit. Thanks for keeping that easy vibe alive and well here in my new home, Chattanooga!

Way too expensive to have fun which is why no one goes there anymore. It’s 20-30 to have two shots/cocktails or four beers, so staying for more than 3 hours is going to run your pockets. If you’re trying to have a full fun night, I’d go somewhere else. 3 Star service only because I’ve seen how the new owner engages negative comments. The staff is cool imo.

What a great slice of history. This walking bridge is super cool. It takes twenty minutes to go across. The walk is nice and the views are amazing. They are closing for renovation on 3/17 for two years. I’m happy I got to enjoy this beautiful bridge.

We visited the Coolidge park right across the bridge. Nice location and perfect place for evening stroll. This bridge has historical Significance and kids enjoyed learning about it. Sunset view was nice to watch.

We were touring the area and had the idea to walk across the bridge and get ice cream on the other side. Parking was $2.45 ($2 plus a service fee of 45 cents) for an hour using the ParkMobile app. We realized the bridge was temporarily closed for construction when we arrived. However, two nice locals told us that we could still walk across the Tennessee River using either of two nearby bridges: the Chief John Ross Bridge or the Veterans Memorial Bridge. The other bridges are busier and not as nice as the Walnut Street Bridge because there is a lot of car traffic, but they’re still viable alternatives if you’d like to follow a similar plan.

It's such a classic Chattanooga activity. It's a core memory of mine for so many special moments . I especially loved my sweet dates , my walks with friends , heart break crying to market Street , watching my kid get so excited to run across and terrifying me that she would get her foot stuck in one of the boards holes . I'm sad that it will be closed for two years (because Chattanooga always takes longer than they say ) but I am excited to see the improvements ... And to get rid of the board holes

The Bridge was closed for renovations when I went to Chattanooga and will be closed until next September. Despite the construction, it still was a sight to behold when looking at it from afar.

This is a very pretty walk across the Tennessee River in downtown Chatanooga. It is well used and there are benches everywhere just to set and enjoy the view.

The best time to visit this historical landmark is right before sundown. Leave your car in the Coolidge Park area and enjoy a stroll across the bridge as the colors change from orange glow to glittering city lights. If you work up an appetite there are many places to eat at the end of the Market Street bridge.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a great dinner tonight at Urban Stack in Chattanooga with my daughters! No wait, plenty of seating, and super fast service—which is always a win when you’re hungry. There’s a huge selection of burgers to choose from. I went with the mushroom burger (SO good!) and my daughter got The Big Cheese. Her fries were perfectly crispy, and I ordered the corn with smoked Gouda—delicious and full of flavor. We loved everything and will definitely be back! 📸 If you found this helpful, please give a few of my photos a like and consider following me!

Delicious! The fried chick-peas were an interesting appetizer. Loved the burger and chili. Great service and fun ambiance! Had to pay for parking- but that seems common here.

Choose this place due to location and online menu. Was not disappointed. Service was excellent. Food was great! Tried a "High tea". It was also excellent. Highly recommend!

We had dinner here on a Saturday early evening around 530. Not terribly busy and we were seated right away. Our server Jasmine took excellent care of us. Two of us are vegetarian and found great options as any burger on the menu can be made with Beyond. The burgers have unique flavors and condiments. Really delicious. We ate here on our last visit to Chattanooga 12 years ago and remembered that we enjoyed it then with little kids. Now, we enjoyed it just as much with our young adult children.

I've heard about this place for years from a good friend of mine. Raved about it. I'm in Nooga for a concert and this was the first stop after checking into the Airbnb. Industrial brick interior, plenty of seating, warm and friendly greeting from Koa (hope i spelled it right) and fantastic server in Mitre (again, spelling). I had the Former Gourmet Bacon Burger, mid rare, and my buddy had the Asian Q, medium, spicy. We both had onion rings. Hot, fresh, tasty and juicy. Burgers were amazing, vibe is cool and service was great. Home Run! Here's the Breakdown: Fresh, tasty food served by smiling, friendly people in a comfy industrial space +5 stars. I would 100% go back.

Food. Amazing and super filling Service : excellent Atmosphere: perfect vibe We had a baby with us and two dogs and the resturant was able to accommodate us and let us eat on the patio as a family. I highly recomend this place for lunch brunch dinner and more! BTW Food was amazing. Did I already say that?

Fun atmosphere And great food. Our server was very attentive and brought water to our dogs, which were welcome on the porch. Love the decor.

My wife and I came to STIR last Thursday before a show at the Comedy Catch. I had the Crispy Mahi Bowl, and she had the Chicken Chop Salad. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. She was very happy with her wine selection, and the Austin Mule was absolutely the best Moscow Mule I’ve ever had. And our waitress Jessica was fantastic. We’re coming back for another comedy show in September, and we will DEFINITELY be eating at STIR again. Thanks for a great night!!

Blown away by Stir. Atmosphere, food, service, they nailed it. Our waiter was kind and helpful, helped us pick out the most popular things on the menu. We ended up getting oysters, a garden chicken, and a chicken picotta as well as the crème brûlée 😍 all of it was drool-worthy. The atmosphere was cool, very industrial modern with unfinished accents. They had all kinds of seats like high tops, regular tables, booths, bar seats. We didn’t have to wait more than 20 minutes for our table so not bad at all. Make sure you pay for your parking !!

We tried Stir for brunch and overall had a great experience! The chicken and waffles absolutely slap—crispy, flavorful, and definitely the star of the show. The crab and shrimp eggs Benedict with potatoes was delicious, though the dish could’ve used a bit more seasoning, especially on the potatoes and a touch of salt on the eggs. The deviled egg flight was a miss for us—lacked flavor and not something we’d order again. The Bloody Mary was on point, and we really enjoyed the brunch bar concept—such a fun idea! It was pretty busy when we went, so the service was a bit slow, but nothing too frustrating. If you’re sitting outside, just be aware—it gets warm. Some fans or misters would be a great investment for the patio. Would definitely go back for those chicken and waffles and to try more from the menu!

Beautifully decorated and friendly service. On the other hand, the only thing that impressed us was the cheesy grits. Between the hamburger and the roast beef sandwich there was not anything to write home about. My son got the sliders, they had good flavor but the bread was super soggy.

Stir, Chattanooga... We tried their delicious Cheeseburger Egg Rolls, Halibut Picata and Filet Mignon... With some craft cocktails, Elderflower Sour and the Road Less Taken! Incredible food and service... And a decor to match!

We had a 5:00 PM reservation on Father’s Day, and the entire evening was fantastic from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and relaxing, with music playing through the sound system that set just the right tone. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, and we were seated promptly after a short wait. Our server, Tristen, was excellent—attentive, personable, and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions with ease. Both the food and service exceeded our expectations. My wife ordered the grilled chicken Caprese, which was beautifully presented and full of rich, savory flavor. I had the tuna poke bowl, and it was just as delicious—fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. For dessert, we had creme brulee and it was an outstanding, satisfying treat to end the meal. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we look forward to returning soon.

We had a post-wedding dinner for two at STIR mid-day on a Sunday to find plenty of seating with the restaurant about half full. I selected the Tuna Poke Bowl with citrus soy-marinated tuna, rice cake, sliced kale, avocado, and other goodies. Our server, Teresa, brought over a special dipping sauce to add to the bowl. Everything was fresh, the tuna was a good portion for the money and the rice cake had an amazing flavor. Overall a good meal for a reasonable price right next to the old train station. The picture is from their website.

Spent the day walking the neighborhood getting our drink on and we got hungry. We came to Feed to get fed and Anya took great care of us. It was busy so we were seated outside. It is a surprisingly quiet city and the weather was beautiful so the patio was fine. Meatball app was delicious and the beer selection was great with a bunch of local beers on tap and in cans. Big, diverse menu with options for just about every taste. My buddy got a killer French Dip and I got Short Rib Pit Roast. Great whipped potatoes with glazed carrots and tobacco onions. Cleaned the plate, i did. Desert was a brownie sundae that was gooey and rich and a great end to a meal. Here's the Breakdown: Qualty food with a great beer selection and excellent service +5 stars. I would go back for sure.

An overall incredible place to eat! Everything we ordered was phenomenal. The freshness and quality of the ingredients was so apparent in every bite. If I had to recommend just 1 dish, I'd say the short rib pot roast is the way to go. Seriously, amazing! This is some good stuff. 10/10. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was really good! Loved the patio seating too. I don't have a single negative thing to say. Please go check them out!!!

This restaurant is an absolute gem! The industrial-style décor gives it a cool, modern edge, but there’s also a warm, old-school vibe that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The menu is impressively large and diverse—there’s truly something for everyone, and everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor. You can tell they take real pride in their food. The service was top-notch as well—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling overbearing. It’s rare to find a place that balances great atmosphere, outstanding food, and excellent service so perfectly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed yet high-quality dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Do yourself a favor and have the ribs for an appetizer. Just wow. We will be dreaming about these ribs until we visit Chatanooga again. The service was great. The prices reasonable. Atmosphere friendly, clean and inviting. This place is a "yes" to everything!

This was a wonderful spot to have a Welcome Dinner for my daughter wedding. We had the private dining space which had separate bar. The food was amazing. Our server/hostess was incredible. Very attentive and attention to detail. Highly recommend this place. Loved the rustic feel.

Fantastic location with a super cool hybrid open air environment and outdoor or indoor seating. Excellent food, I particularly recommend the hummus. Portions on mains could be a little larger but adequate. Excellent beer selection however the glassware was somewhat dirty, with lots of bubbles appearing in the glass of every beer we were served. Glassware washing procedures should be looked at. One other quirk, in the bar area a lot of the TV's backlights are failing making the TV's hard to see. Service was adequate and the food came out quickly. We sat at the bar and this is what I'd recommend if you want fast service here.

The filet mignon and carrots were absolutely delicious. The hush puppies had a soft crunchy outside and flavorful and moist center. Our waitress was also very nice and on top of everything. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely return.

Another stop in the "3 days of Eating and Drinking in Nooga" tour. It's a big, open space with funky decor and a big, interesting food menu and tons of local beer options on tap and can and bottles. Our server was an interesting human being who fit the funky decor. We ordered the Huevos in a Hole and Chicken and Waffles. My buddy loved his but I was expecting a big old bone in fried chicken quarter or breast, not a skinny little cutlet. That was the one disappointment. Here's the Breakdown: Funky Space +1 star; good beer selection +1 star; interesting menu +1 star; entertaining server +1 star. If I got a nice, crispy, juicy piece of fried chicken it might have been five stars. I'd go back to try other items

I came here on my 21st birthday a couple weeks ago, and our server Nicki was incredible! She offered some great drink suggestions and she was so funny and very attentive! Overall it was a great experience!!! Thank you Nicki!

We stumbled in this place late night -passing through. What a find. We got in the door at 9:45pm, they were done serving meals at 10pm, but had appetizers until midnight. Our server was great! She gave us the low down on her favorites. The names were fantastic for the food and drinks. We put our order in right away. Decided to get a Lebowski, which was basically a white Russian slushy (what I like to call an adult milkshake/slushy)When the food came out it was hot and fresh. We were shocked, you know how it is when you walk into a restaurant five minutes before the kitchen closes. You’re never quite sure what you’re gonna get. I got the fried chicken club sandwich, the bread was delicious super soft , bacon was crispy cooked to perfection, the batter on the fried chicken was light tasty crunchy, and the chicken was juicy. They had pickles that were absolutely homemade freshest most delicious pickles I’ve ever eaten in a restaurant so far. I wish this place was closer to home. Would love to go back there. The music that was playing was everything from the Beastie Boys to the Black Keys. Off the chart, swank atmosphere to include miniature pinball machine tables surrounded by Kush seating overlooking old style cinema, red velvet curtains, and 80s Hit movies. Up above the beer, pong or ping-pong table, whichever you prefer was an old style springs of a mattress, light up with colored lights, which was absolutely kick ass. Old style drive-in movie theater sign up above the bar. Just a super cool place with good food, drinks, and serves.

I've been to Clyde's quite a few times in the past few years and I've always had a good experience with service, drinks, and food. We decided to check out the brunch and they did not disappoint! The minos tasted nice and fresh. I got the Huevos in the Hole with a side of pimento cheese grits and my partner got the fried chicken biscuit. It was a massive biscuit and a massive piece of chicken! The Huevos in the hole was perfect. All the flavors went well together. It was amazing. The only thing that was off was the grits were watery. Maybe they were just off that day. The flavor of the grits were on point though! Definitely gonna come back!

We were visiting Chattanooga from Atlanta and were looking for somewhere to watch the Eagles game. We couldn’t have picked a better place! The atmosphere was great and food was even better. The highlight of our experience though was our server Jan. He was so attentive and personable. Thank you Jan and HiFi Clyde’s for a great experience! We will be coming back next time we’re in Chattanooga.

We stopped by just for a couple drinks. The bartenders were great and knew what beers to recommend. The atmosphere was cool. Relaxed seating or bar seating. Kind of a unique style bar. We stopped as we were bar hoping around our hotel. Id like to go back on a friend night and see the atmosphere.

Meh…I only go for DJ Shoey, he, YG TUT and The House are the best thing that ever happens at Clyde’s in my opinion.

The service and food and drinks here are always super amazing. The environment is super cool. The parking is available. There’s plenty of parking on the street available. The only thing that could make this place better is if all the insurance reps, CPA’s, and bookkeepers would find a different spot to go in Chattanooga. This could easily be the coolest part in North Chad, but it’s right over by a bunch of well reference there above.

We were in search of a great hamburger joint and happen to be in the Chattanooga north shore and a no brainer was Tremont Tavern! This long established restaurant is kinda considered a historic establishment due to being a nighttime college joint and of course the best burgers around. I had the Gouda burger with tater tots and my wife got the burger with horseradish sauce in which I can't recall the name of it, oh well.😋 Great service as always and the ambiance remains steady! Highly recommend a visit for any group.

The vibe at Tremont is great! Just a casual place to chill with good beers and great food. Had the The Steakonia burger and it was awesome. Although I loved every aspect of the burger, the homemade steak sauce was what really stood out. Also had the greens and they were so good I could have taken a bath in them. Definitely a lunch to remember.

Visited after seeing their burgers on tiktok and wasn't disappointed at all. Enjoyed the food and atmosphere

Great burger and good selection of beers. We ordered the jalapeño burger with tots and the organic cocoa stout, they were all pretty good. Great choices of burgers/sandwiches. Will definitely come back to try other things in the menu. The service was amazing and the atmosphere has a chill vibe.

This is a good place. Great food, wonderful service and I believe locally owned. If your visiting probably best to go eat by the aquarium 😁. Tom (in pic ) the bartender as all Tom's is cooler than cream corn.

Great little local tavern. So many choices for beer. Limited menu. Burger was great!

Our only complaint is that the restaurant was very cold! We loved everything we got and were grateful to the staff for going out of their way to avoid sesame per my husbands allergy. Will be back!

Two Ten Jack looks promising — dim lights, stylish bar, the kind of place that should deliver. But the reality quickly proved otherwise. First came the yakitori avocado, a dish that could double as modern art. It’s literally half an avocado — skin on — lightly grilled and served with a small puddle of sauce where the pit used to be, plus a side of wasabi for moral support. No spoon was provided, so we attempted the delicate feat of eating it with chopsticks. Halfway through, we realized the dish is so ridiculous that we just abandoned it. The crispy tuna wasn’t terrible, but the wobbly ball of fish perched on top made it nearly impossible to eat gracefully without a mess. We also tried the pork-stuffed shishito peppers, which might’ve been the final straw — the pork inside was still raw. We sent it back, politely, but by then the spell was broken. Service was glacial. No one checked on us, so we ended up pouring our own water from a carafe behind the bar. After all that, we didn’t even attempt the mains — we left hungry, confused, and a little incredulous. Two Ten Jack has ambition, but between the self-serve hydration, avocado existentialism, and raw pork surprises, it’s hard to recommend.

Tldr; Great presentation, lack luster food. In terms of atmosphere, it's great; cozy and welcoming, the staff was welcoming too. However, overall, the food at this restaurant was disappointing, both in terms of portion size, balance, and flavor. For lunch, we ordered the steak skirt bento box, the spicy crab noodles, and the sunny side maki roll. First, the bento box came with a single skewer of steak which wasn't enough (the meat was also charred). While there were plenty of vegetables in the bento box, after finishing, I was still hungry. The maki roll contained cream cheese and smoked salmon, however the balance was off. There was too much cream cheese and it drowned out the flavor of the roll. Lastly the noodles, while were ok, was basically just a bowl of noodles without any sides. It was underwhelming. Would not come back.

If you like noodles you're in for a treat! However, they have an excellent selection of chilled unfiltered sake 🍶, which I love, and most places only have one option if they have it at all. Pictured below is my favorite selection. Enjoy!

The food is always phenomenal when I go here! This past week I received some of the best service from a waitress that I ever have. I can’t remember her name, but she went above & beyond for my table & was so sweet to my babygirl! She had a section full of babies & was so excited bc she also has a baby boy at home. 😊

The food was amazing, very delicious and the presentation is perfect. The drinks are also really good as well, specifically the cocktails (since that was mostly what we drank). I wouldn't say the food is particularly expensive. It seemed pretty reasonably priced given the taste, presentation, and portions. (I'd say anywhere between $5-$20 per meal depending on if you get a small plate or a full dish). However, I was not aware that groups do get an automatic gratuity charge added to their bill. (We were a group of 7 reserved for a Friday evening, charged a 20% gratuity fee). So I would just keep that in mind when going in a group setting (if this happens to smaller groups, I'm not sure).

Very cool atmosphere. Read “basement” as “cozy and intimate.” The food and service were great. A solid spot for a date night!

This restaurant was 10/10. We went on a Sunday without a reservation, got an outdoor patio seat overlooking the river at sunset. The espresso martini and Chattanooga whisky flight were super smooth and delicious! The Parmesan truffle fries were so good, the fried chicken sandwich was crispy and sweet, it was different, but the best sandwich ever! The chicken wings were also good but a little dry. Great service and atmosphere for a date night or girls night!

I gave it high rating for the atmosphere and views. The food was ok ... I personally thought it was good wouldn't come for just the burger or the deviled eggs. The whiskey's and drinks are plentiful. The main attraction is the atmosphere and vibe. The hotel is loaded with wonderful art from a lot of local artist. Good tourist stop. The staff were friendly and welcoming... I liked the joint ... but not my first place to go eat if I lived here.

Great spot for drinks with friends or a date night. The interior design is chic and inspiring. The outside boasts incredible views of downtown including the walking bridge and river. I recommend going just prior to sunset to capture some pics.

Perched atop the effortlessly cool Edwin Hotel in Chattanooga is Whiskey Thief, a rooftop bar with views so sweeping, you’ll feel like you’re in a drone commercial. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to sip something classy while pretending you totally planned to be this sophisticated. When the weather’s nice, the patio is perfect for catching sunsets and Insta-worthy skyline shots. If it’s raining? Retreat inside — the vibe is still solid, the décor is on point, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier if they tried. Now, here’s the plot twist: come on a Monday and ask for iced tea, and you may be met with polite confusion. Apparently, the sacred art of tea-making resides exclusively downstairs in the restaurant… which is closed on Mondays. Who knew iced tea required a full kitchen staff and a minor miracle? Anyway, weird tea logistics aside, it’s a great spot. Go for the views, stay for the cocktails, and bring your own tea if it’s Monday.

The staff at this restaurant are awesome! We had Will as our server and they were absolutely amazing. I loved the suggested drink and their overall delightful personality. We were also helped by Sean and Taylor (I'm so sorry if I'm misspelling any of that!). This team takes care of everyone in the building! It was so nice to know how much each person cared. The food was delicious!!! Definitely coming back here. They made my 10th Wedding Anniversary extra special!!! They are all so kind but I just wanna give one last shout out to Will. You are awesome and I'm so happy you were our server!!! 💚💚💚

This establishment has a great atmosphere with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. The service was outstanding—attentive and friendly throughout our visit. While we didn’t try the food, the cocktails were excellent. I ordered the Old Fashioned made with Traveler’s, and it exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to returning!

This rooftop bat is a must do in Chattanooga. Located at the top of the Edwin Hotel it has great drinks, service and great views overlooking the Tennessee River.

This place is decorated absolutely beautifully! But beware, they are extremely understaffed, it took 30 minutes to get a drink, and we were sitting at the bar. We had a great bite to eat, and were so excited to try the Christmas cocktails. They were yummy, but not as good as I would have hoped. It took us 40 minutes to get our drinks. Our bartender Brandon apologized over and over, he was very nice and worked as fast as he could, they were just overwhelmed.

Loved everything we ate. Good service, beautiful views and ambiance! The only downside was there was a noisy group near us. There is a dress code, so my husband took his hat off- wasn't a problem, just be aware before you go!

I'm a big fan of rooftop settings. This was the perfect evening to have dinner. It felt fallish and the night was clear. In addition, there was good energy amongst the patrons and service was incredible. A good place to eat, drink, and admire the beauty of Chattanooga.

Top notch! All food was excellent and soooo tasty! Too bad they didn't have the meatballs, but the strawberry cake did the job to let me forget that. I totally forgot to take pics of the tapas! So enjoy the strawberry cake! Our waitress was very kind and knew their stuff! Everyone was very satisfied with the food!

Tried Paloma for the first time last night with a girlfriend, celebrating our birthdays. Our waiter was friendly and the food was tasty. Had hoped for a better sunset view but the plastic coverings weren't clear and we mainly watched the traffic. Still nice atmosphere. Loved the asparagus and bacon wrapped dates - the calamari flavor was different than advertised (more sweet/smoky than light and lemony) but good texture. Enjoyed the chocolate mousse dessert. Also don't be like me and keep looking for parking and end up on 27 going across the bridge and back. Pay to park for $10 in the church lot next to main entrance

Taylor is hands down the best server! She’s so kind, bubbly, and genuinely caring — such a sweet loving person. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone! LOVED HER!

We have only been in Chattanooga for 1.5 years and try to sample all the local restaurants. There are many great options in Chatt. The Westin 10th floor tapas restaurant/lounge has nice ambiance with great views. Very pretty sunset. Didn't try the food since we waited for 30 minutes without any service to our table. I went up to the bar and was ignored for another 10 minutes although they weren't very busy. I asked a waitress walking by inside the lounge if I should order inside although sitting outside and she said you could do either and quickly walked off. My wife and I left and went across the street for a nice meal and drinks. Wish service would have been better since they had a pretty good musician there also. Multiple staff gave off the impression of people who hate their jobs. Bad management? We likely won't ever return.

Mary our server gave us wonderful service and makes us feel so seen and appreciated while she serves us att Hello Monty. The food is the best brunch in Chattanooga! It is made with fresh ingredient's and the kitchen is very clean from what we can see from sitting in there booth seating. We also like that it is a very calm environment on a Sunday morning...compared to seeing stressed employees at other places. Thank you and will be back again with the family!

I celebrated my 60th birthday with brunch with my girls. Our experience was no less than amazing! Our server Forrest was very kind and knowledgeable of the menu and drink options. Everything was simply delicious. The atmosphere, food and service were all top tier. Will definitely be back!!!

Lauren was an amazing server for us this evening, she ensured that we had a great time with great drink and food choices. The Mexican shoot out drink was a tequila drink with fire! The ceased salad had I think little chunks of collard greens and green onions in it too, it was delicious. The salmon was arguably the best around, and the skewer kabobs! Wow. Great place, also it’s cool that during some local road races like the Erlanger marathon this place has a dj that spins records and helps encourage runners!

As my mother pointed out, you know a place is special when you see a waiter dusting light fixtures. These little attentions carried through the bright, clean, and fresh space. Our waitress was amazing - so attentive, proactive, kind, eager to help - as she went above and beyond taking orders. She truly embodied what we should all strive for in service - whether in work or life. What a gem. The food was delicious and fresh with perfect options for all - it absolutely has the farm to table quality. We are so glad we found our way here.

I am staying across the street at an Airbnb and I saw they had a brewery on site so i stopped in forca flight and a bite. The flight is 5 tasters, 5 beers on tap, Bam! you've tried them all. All were tasy but two of the five were cask beers and I am not always a fan of casks. I got Roasted Oysters with Blue Cheese and Bacon and they were plump and flavorful. There was a slight hiccup in the evening that was handled well by management and the overall experience was great. Hannah was my beertender and she was excellent. Here's the Breakdown: Excellent service, good beers, tasty food and quick resolution of a small issue +5 stars. I would go again.

We had a good experience at Hello Monty in Downtown Chattanooga, we ate here for their brunch. Our service was wonderful, our waitress was fantastic. I ordered The Egg Plate, it came with eggs, bacon, and a biscuit with apple butter. It was delicious! I love their apple butter, it is a close second to the apple butter from the apple barn in Pigeon Forge. I will return to this restaurant for sure.

AMAZING place!! Great service, great beer, huge food portions that are delicious, 10/10. Oh, and they’re pet friendly!! We sat outside- I brought extra jackets to sit outside with the pup but they had heat lamps going so it was nice and toasty. Highly recommend.

🌸 An Absolute Gem – A Must-Visit! 🌸 My daughter and I had dinner at Ernest Chinese last night, and I honestly can’t believe we waited this long to try it — what a hidden treasure! From the moment we walked up, I was captivated. The signage, patio area, and entry doors are so unique and charming, it already felt special before we even stepped inside. And then… WOW. The interior is absolutely stunning — there’s a huge cherry blossom tree hanging over the bar and the lighting throughout the dining area is beautifully eclectic. It’s hard to describe how magical it felt, but I did my best to capture it in photos! 📸 (Check out my pics and follow if you love discovering gorgeous dining spots ✨) We were greeted by a super friendly server, and the service was quick and smooth — no wait at all. We went between 3–6pm and hit their happy hour, which has great deals on drinks and appetizers. Highly recommend the shrimp dumplings — they were fantabulous! I had the beef lo mein (perfection), and my daughter had the sweet-and-sour shrimp with white rice, which she devoured. We’re already planning our next visit to try more of the menu. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for an Instagram-worthy spot with top-notch vibes, Ernest Chinese is a must. 📷 If you love discovering beautiful places and delicious food, feel free to check out my photos and follow along — always on the hunt for local gems like this one!

The food here was really good. I had a great meal here. The atmosphere is really nice too. Very cool building. The Crab Rangoons were some of the best I've ever had. Nice to actually have some with crab and not just cream cheese with a hint of crab. The servers were friendly but service was a bit slow. It's a shame they are closing though.

My family and I stumbled upon this on our way to a different restaurant and decided to stay and eat here instead and we were so happy that we did. The food was top-notch and didn’t taste like a Chinese buffet. The dumplings were amazing. The sesame chicken was absolutely wonderful and the atmosphere was so enjoyable. Our waitress was wonderful and so was our bartender. I highly recommend stopping here for a visit. We had to wait about an hour to get in, but it was totally worth it.

The food was excellent, and the dining area is beautiful. The dishes that the food is served on are very pretty. We are vegetarian and they had several things to choose from. What we chose was excellent. The barbecue tofu was great and the salad that we had with additional tofu on it was also very good.

The food was good, but overpriced for what it is. There was nothing phenomenal about the food to me. The service was friendly, but felt inattentive. It was lunch and there were few to no tables, but our drinks were never refilled. The location is nice and the building is quite interesting. Everything is clean, but this place is not the most disability friendly location. The menu is printed on top of a pattern making it quite hard to read the actual print especially with vision impairments. I did not see any handicap dedicated parking, but there is paid parking on the street and in front of the building. The building is flat and open enough for a wheelchair, but the large door going in would be quite difficult especially by yourself. I did not attempt to use the restroom so I can not speak of the accessibility there.

Good restaurant. Sorry to hear it's closing! Went here once to treat myself after work and the food, drinks, and service lifted my spirits and that's what good food should always do. Excited to see the next chapter

Our 1st visit, but definitely won't be our last. We had seen a vlog about this restaurant ("We Try Wednesday" by Chattanooga Pulse) and were eager to see if this place lives up to the hype...which it does! All food is prepared fresh daily on-site, which includes their egg rolls, dumplings, salad dressings, and sauces. The restaurant itself is lovely and comfortable, with enjoyable music played loud enough to enjoy but without impeding table conversations. Cocktails are yummy and strong. The food was a delight. Since it was our 1st visit, we definitely over ordered because we were curious to try so many dishes; none disappointed. We all really enjoyed the crab Rangoon, fried rice, and lo mein. The "adder" to my entree of lightly breaded shrimp was cooked to perfection. Desserts were okay... not what was expected based on menu descriptions; the flour less chocolate cake had a bit of spiciness. Service was attentive and pleasant. Adjacent parking is not free nor validates, but it wasn't too expensive for our visit ($2.50 for 2 hours)

We stopped by to catch a show. Nice little venue with buckets of beer and food service. The first two comedians need to keep there day job. The headliner was pretty damn funny. Overall good visit.

Honestly. I’m so disappointed. I’ve been coming to the comedy catch for YEARS. Ever since I came of age, and I’ve always used cashapp. Idk how long they have used toast, but I brought my fiancé and some of my friends tonight so we can experience open mic night for the first time. The comedians were.. eh. Some of them better than others. Whatever. Not comedy catch’s fault. Drinks and food were great. Pricing was decent. Until it came time to pay. Sometime throughout my time there their system, toast, pre authorized my card for $40.82, okay, whatever, thought it would come outta my total. NOPE. Then it went to charge me for the entirety of the bill. Which was $77.47, on the card I used I only had $54 and change remaining. So they took the $54 I had in addition to the $40.82 that was already taken. Therefore they took 94.82 FOR A $77.47 BILL. I attempt to inform the manager there, name unknown, he said he was the AGM. I explain to him I was already charged for the entirety of the bill, and I have nothing else to give him. He CONTINUES to insist I pay the remaining $23 and change that I do not have when I had ALREADY paid more than my bill even was. He was rude as crap. And at one point said “SO WHAT IM HEARING IS YOURE NOT GONNA PAY.” YOU DAGUM RIGHT. Eventually he called his general manager and she explained to him to let me go, it’s toast fault, not mine. And it’ll clear up. Long story short. Either pay with cash or as you go or you could end up like me.

Been here a good half dozen times or more. It’s a good escape and laugh. My wife laughed so hard one time she was literally crying and her stomach hurt for days over a joke about a cat turd and different reactions of boys vs. girls to it. The last time we went they had some “fat hogs of comedy” or something idk. We thought it was going to be funny but it was like watching grass grow. One of the “comedians” said something pro abortion and a girl beside us was like “abortion woohoo!” And threw her hands up in celebration. What a weird thing to celebrate! That’s when I realized I was pretty much at a veiled liberal rally where nothing is funny but it makes them feel good to agree with each other’s strange views. Much like 90% of late night talk shows nowadays. We haven’t been back since. That being said to say it’s a roll of the dice if the entertainment will be good or not. Do your research before you purchase your tickets. Partly my fault I guess. The star lost is because it’s a bit pricey and I haven’t seen them do any shows on Sunday like they used to. That’s the main reason I haven’t been back.

Great venue for hard laughs, drinks are as they should be and the service was stellar. The history of the joint is definitely something to be proud of. No complaints other than being front row at a table all by ourselves the first time going. Although they sat us full table second time, shows the staff has full attention on attendants and not even mad (first glance, wouldn't sit by me either) hahah

Tonight was HORRIBLE! We paid good money to go out on a date night! We have spent many nights out watching the comedians on a Friday night. Didn’t even make it to the headliner. We chose to leave because it was SO HORRIBLE! Up until tonight it has always been fun. If the comedy catch is going to support these kinds of comedians we won’t be back.It was all about being gay. NO ONE WAS LAUGHING!!! We refuse to sit through it. If this is the direction the comedy catch is going, we will find another way to spend date nights! We are DONE!!

I went last night. Laura Peek was the headliner. Very funny. My wife especially enjoyed Laura’s comedy. The food was great (onion straws and pretzel bites). I’m looking forward to coming back.

My husband and I went to watch the show on Saturday September 27, 2025. It was not at all what we had expected. It started off with good food and good service but went down hill quickly with the extremely raunchy entertainment. What we thought would be a night of fun and laughs ended up being nothing more than very explicit, crude and valgar. Since when does someone have to be so filthy mouthed and X-rated to be funny? We were totally disappointed as well as appalled. Needless to say we WILL NOT be going back or recommending this establishment. They should " Rate" their content so people can be aware of what to expect before wasting their money.

I personally found it rather disappointing. The menu sounded great and i had a hard time deciding. The food itself was ok, however some dishes were very small, lacking presentation and the listed ingredients misleading. The waitress noticed half my salad was missing before i said anything. I probably got more bacon and walnuts thanks to that as the goat cheese amounted to an estimated tea spoon. The wings are overpriced in my opinion. Pictures of pastrami hash, pepper in pastrami hash, 3 wings and the sausage sampler. I probably wouldn't be returning, but I'm also just a tourist passing by.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and our waitress was attentive to our needs. The tacos were delicious and the Korean bbq wings were very meaty. We also did a cheese and meat platter but that blue cheese was way too strong for me and I'm from Wisconsin.

Cool place to hang out for the afternoon on a Saturday, the Bloody Mary was good and spicy. I had the veggie burger made with chickpeas and it was tasty but I would probably order something else next time. Service was excellent. The only reason for not giving 5 stars was because of the flys. I think there were so many because the big doors can open but they were closed when we were there.

😍 Absolutely loved this place! Modern eclectic atmosphere, kind of industrial, very tasteful and attractive. Large variety of beer and other libations. Each item on the menu is described so colorfully, was difficult to settle on one meal. That being said, duck burger was so delicious! We will easily put this spot on our must hit when in town list! Also, our server was so very kind to share her knowledge of the town. Actually wrote a list of highlights for us to check out, thanks again Shannon!

Fantastic setting and atmosphere, but the overall experience with food and drinks were just so-so. We went during happy hour. I ordered the drink special, Spring Fling, which was super refreshing. However, my wife’s Dirty Martini looked as though someone besides her was enjoying it because half was missing once it got to the table. 🤔 For appetizers, we had the hummus and kale Caesar. Both were ok. There was a gigantic piece of stalk left in the salad and it had a few black spots on it. Perhaps we’ll give it another try next time we are in Chattanooga, but we would skip the happy hour specials.

Always good service and a mouthful of flavor. Reservations are a good idea on Friday and Saturday, and practically mandatory after church on Sunday. Always order the soup! Another amazing offering is the charcuterie board. They dry age their own meat and stuff their own sausage. They have a child's menu, and a variety of dishes to entice even the pickiest southern eater. They do have a GF menu and can accommodate a variety of other food requests. The only downside of this establishment is that you must pay for parking, but don't let that keep you. And say hi to Justin at the bar, he'll make you something delicious and entertain you besides.

In house made meals and you can tell! This was delicious. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and basically left us with no questions. The drinks were great. I enjoyed the "Winter Is Coming". My husband also enjoyed the duck burger.

We went this past Saturday, Feb. 10th. It was ok, apparently the location has changed. They no longer have cigars, it’s now a hookah lounge. Even on a Saturday the place was half full. The DJ only plays booty shaking music. I asked him to play some Afro beats and he never did. It would have been nice for him to mix it up some so I could dance. The food menu is limited. Only about 6 options. We ordered the wings and they were the smallest wings I’ve ever gotten in my life. The best thing about this place was our waitress/ server she was phenomenal and attentive.

Very clean, super helpful and friendly staff. Unless you sat directly next to someone who was smoking, there is not a hint of smoke in the whole place! I was very pleasantly surprised 🥰

Visited this place last night and it was awesome!! My coworkers and I had an amazing time. Service was good. Drinks were strong the smoked lemon pepper wings were BOMB and the DJ was nice playing all the jams I couldn't even stay seated loI I will be back. I love when I support my OWN and they show out:-)This is a nice chill spot in downtown Chattanooga!!

First time here, it was the best experience. Very friendly staff, laid back environment and the drag show was amazing. My gf and I had the best time ever!!! We are making plans to go back at least every other week we live 2 hours away. Only issue we wanted to hookah and that was an issue due to the possessiveness of the others in the bar- NOT THE BARS FAULT!!!

I can’t say enough great things about this place! The salad is fresh and delicious and the lemon pepper smoked wings are out of this world! Tish is an attentive, warm and welcoming bar tender/ host! This was the perfect date night with my honey enjoying great cigars and music! I strongly recommend this place for relaxation, good food, excellent service and fun! Parking can be challenging but if you park behind the church a block away you will be very happy that you came!

The atmosphere is relaxing and the owners are great. I love that there is a place where you can actually have a conversation without yelling. Even if you don't smoke cigars it's a wonderful place to unwind. They even have networking on Thursdays! I've met some wonderful people there :)

I hadn't experienced the Chattanooga Cigar & Hookah lounge. I attended a private event where the facility was utilized. It was a very nice size space, comfortable/cozy environment, and clean. The bar was nicely displayed and we'll stocked. The drinks were amazing as well as the food. Staff were polite, professional with fun personalities, and helpful. I will be visiting again during normal business hours to see how it goes.

We had a blast on open mic night which is every Monday, sign-up start at 6 and show starts at 7-10 3 songs or 15 min. The burgers are great at tots were amazing. The chicken salad was great also. The scenery inside this gym will turn your head and take you back to a different time. If your into music this is a pla e to try.

Nice place, smaller but not crowded by any means. The staff there are super nice, on time with things and over all, just really nice ladies. The food menu is smaller, but the food was fabulous. I had the tavern burger and chili, both got 2 thumbs up from me.

I'm a huge fan of this place. It's super underrated as far as there food. One of the best burgers in town. They even have some great vegan/vegetarian options. They recently have started doing a lunch. It's a perfect downtown quick lunch for a meeting or just on the run . Evening time has music and it's almost never the same. They were doing a poetry night , and they do open mic as well. Do yourself a favor and try the food and the cocktails from here. You will love it.

Great bar, delicious food, good drinks, and wonderful staff. Really love all of the music they have coming into town as well as the local stuff!!

What a piece of Chattanooga history! Walking in you are taken back by the beautiful wall of spirits, and the staff is SUPER sweet! I personally know Marty, and he's a stand up guy, who works his butt off to make the Tavern feel like a place you belong! Go give them a chance! I don't think you'll regret it!

Came here twice during my work trip in Chattanooga. Super cool place that I'd recommend to everyone.

Really fun place with great live music and delicious cocktails. The atmosphere is collected and cozy. Tall ceilings and sort of a narrow bar situation. It's very comfortable though.

Overall good spot. Fair prices with food. Pretty dark inside creates an atmosphere. Solid bourbon selection. We thought the bartender was a little short and standoffish with us which impacted the review.

Such a fun grungy little venue. Plenty of opptutines to catch live music here. I was just here for a terrific goth night and the last couple sets were amazing. Come here if you want cheap drink with a nice dark atmosphere. Compared to other breweries and bars in the area, this place is massive practically the size of a club. I'll be back for the nightshade festival since the venue offers an intimate experience with the artists.

My favorite bar in Chattanooga! I can’t recommend this place enough. There are many other bars and even a comedy club nearby.

The bartenders, kitchen staff, and creators of this place are all so friendly and knowledgeable about their offerings and possible customizations. It’s a chill spot to hang with your friends and the prices are incredibly reasonable. In addition to being one of our favorite bars in to hang out in for a casual evening, we also just hosted our wedding reception at Boneyard! They set up a self- serve karaoke station for us, printed custom menus so all our guests knew what options they had for the open bar, created two custom mocktails for our sober guests, and completely blew all of us away with the food! We had bbq chicken with buns and tortillas, plus salad fixings, black eyed pea hummus, and the best damn house made pickled jalapeños and okra I have ever had. We spent less for our wedding than anyone else I know and had so so so much fun! The manager Danielle kept in touch the whole time we were planning, and made everything so easy for us. We can’t wait for the next time we have an excuse to host a party here!

Cool dive bar with an amazing food truck for food. Great high end cocktails (full bar) and a good selection of beer. They have a front and back outdoor patio with picnic table and booth seating. The inside has a dive bar esthetic that's not terribly loud. They also have a cool arcade inside as well. Highly recommend this place.

Broke off with a group and came here with some buddies during a bachelor trip. Decorated venue with cool bartenders, great (and well-priced drinks), arcade games, plenty of merch for sale, and multiple patio areas to chill at. Didn't try the food truck offerings but the items that I saw looked good. Some solid DJs were warming up as we left. Definitely worth dropping by if you're in the Choo-Choo area!

First time there, very busy! I ordered the burger and the chicken street noodles & it was amazing! So thankful for the free water too! Very nice staff and chill.

Loved this place!! Visited while on a bike trip and loved every aspect of it. Feels like the grassroots community we always search for and still has the authentic listening room vibe. Drinks and food were awesome too.

It's a place where you go listen to live music. They serve food, which was surprisingly very good. The jambalaya was authentic and delicious. The meat just fell off the bone on the rib plate. Also, delicious.

A Hidden Gem for Live Music Lovers in Chattanooga! Pleasantly tucked away in the heart of St. Elmo’s historic district is an intimate spot to enjoy live music, great food, and a friendly atmosphere. Though the space is small and seating is limited, every seat in the house offers a great view and sound—there truly isn’t a bad spot to sit. The Woodshop is known as a “listening room,” which means the focus is on the music. The atmosphere is respectful and immersive, where guests come to listen, not talk over the performance. Expect to hear everything from blues and jazz to bluegrass, often performed by talented local bands who know how to connect with the audience in a cozy setting. The food is consistently good, and the service is warm and attentive without being overbearing. Whether you're there for the music, the food, or just to soak in the local charm, this spot never disappoints. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled upon something special, because it is something special. Come discover something you won't find anywhere else in Chattanooga. Tell Jhett and Callie Sioux, Jason send you. --- Would you like to add a personal story or highlight a specific band or dish you enjoyed?

Stopped in for drinks and stayed for the music! What a wonderful little place with some interesting history. Will be back for the food - whatever they were cookin’ smelled amazing.

Always a good time. The music is legit. Whether you are wanting Blues, Jazz, Soul, or Bluegrass, the Woodshop has authentic talent. The ribs are the best in Chattanooga. It's a small menu, but you will find something that you will enjoy. Try the chocolate cake! Beers are cold and drinks are delicious! You will have a good time!

This is what I’ve been waiting for Chattanooga to have! I am excited to see the mixture of genres and live music taking place in such a cool environment! Safe, clean and the local crowds are always good to be around!! Great management! Keep up the good work!

Great place to see a show. Very intimate place, moreso than Cactus Cafe in Austin which is another listening room. It's meant to be a place to sit and have a drink and enjoy the music. It's like sitting around someone's living room listening to good talent coming through Chattanooga. I haven't been when it's just a bar but they have a nice little beer garden out back and the cool kids flock to this nest of culture.

Coming in I was a little skeptical because of the price, but this is one of the only restaurants in Chattanooga that I feel was 100% worth the price. The food plating was beautiful, the atmosphere was calm, and the service was amazing. My server was Nicholas and he was so kind and accommodating!

Delicious food and drinks. It was super busy when we popped in with no tables available. However, my husband had grabbed a drink at the bar while the girls were shopping and and a table happened to open up by the bar so we snagged it. Servers were friendly, my drink was delicious (unfortunately they were fresh out of crickets so I did not get the pleasure of that oddity in my drink). Can't remember the drink name but it was good. They were slow on bringing the ranch so my fries were cold when I ate them but the steak was delish. The chicken looked yummy as well.

Nice place to grab a drink. Charcuterie was good. However, I would think twice about ordering the trout dip. It smelled like the end of a hot July day at the fish market and oh boy that smell lingers. I could only stomach three bites and even then the wife wouldn't kiss me until I brushed my teeth.

Stopped in for Happy Hour M-F 2-6pm. Nice selection of discounted small plates and drinks. Tried pot roast nachos & chicken finger with fries. Definitely would return!

One of my favorite spots in Chattanooga! Food is amazing. It's the perfect place for a date!

A friend and I stopped in for lunch while traveling. We both had the side salad with the 4oz fillet; along with a side of roasted beets with goat cheese. It was delicious!! The steaks were cooked perfectly. The salad ingredients complimented each other (I did not have to blue cheese on my salad) wonderfully. The service could not have been better. Looking forward to going back.

Great vibe in the restaurant and great service. Nice place to come for drinks and it’s a beautiful bar! It’s on the pricey side. I ordered a charcuterie board which comes with 3 picks, and I ordered 2 cheeses and soppressata . It came with the tiniest pieces of cheese and only 3 small slices of soppressata, with lots of bread and a mountain of fig jam. The portions didn’t make sense and for $14 I felt like it was not good value. I’d come back for the drinks tho!

You can tell the owner of this place cares a lot of delivering a quality drink. Drum set plenty of activities to do in the historic choo choo and glue grounds in which it is located. In fact I think you could stay in a rail car and have plenty to do for days here with the drinks and food and all that is in the surrounding.

Stopped in for some cocktails and they were doing a comedy show. It was a lot of fun and had really good drink specials. Great place for a drink.

Our bartender Josh was amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable and humble. He was generous with both his pours and his personality. The sampling flight was amazing, with the G11 Salazar Anejo, the G11 gin, and the G11 rum standing out. He made our trip to Chattanooga something special.

Great atmosphere in the bar. We had a chance to take a tour and the owners, Bill and Wanda, shared some of their distilling magic with us. There is a real commitment to exceptional craftsmanship here. The extra effort that they put into their spirits shows up in the well made cocktails. When downtown, this will be a regular stop.

Gate 11 is my go to spot when I visit Chattanooga. Daria (sp) and Josh are both so friendly and remembered me from the last time I was here in July. The Drag bingo and Drag show were so much fun! I will definitely be back in a few months!

We had a great experience. Alex, The bartender, whipped up some excellent cocktails. I tried the Sazerac and Necromancer as well as had a few straight tastings. My betterhalf had the Palamo and Margareta. Most drinks are $12. A flight of 4 different house made liquors is $10. All were excellent. I brought home a few bottles of their on-site made liquors including a bottle of the Absinthe. All were excellent. Will definitely go again!! Please like this review.

What a great little spot to stop and drink local Chattanooga spirits! Matt was pretty freaking awesome! He made us feel at home while listening to the local talent (Richard)! After just a little bit, more people poured in. Everyone chatted and it just felt like home!

Such a fun place. Loved the greenery and relaxed setting. We were lucky and got there early to snag the couch. Good range of beers and don’t pass on their cocktails. We were a little hesitant at first but were proven wrong! Our only regret was leaving for dinner and not staying for their trivia night.

Good brewery! Combining this review with my visit to the ‘Central’ location as I ordered beers available on tap at both spots. Drank a golden lager, NZ IPA, brown ale, and Belgian quad while at Oddstory. Everything was solid to enjoyable for its style; the ones that stood out more were the NZ IPA and the Belgian quad. The ‘Greenhouse’ also has beers exclusive to that location. Beautiful looking space with comfortable bar stools. Staff were also friendly and personable. I’m two hours away from Oddstory, but would definitely visit again when in the area.

I love the Greenhouse! It’s such a fun space to meet up with friends and host events. The drinks are so delicious and reasonably priced as well. The vibes are amazing here and I highly recommend it.

Ok this is my vibe. The beer is very very good. I think my wife is jealous of my love of the Belgian blonde. There are people playing board games, a easant back patio, and plants everywhere. The pothos hanging from the ceiling give a warm happy vibe. Where is the 6th star google.

I drove all the way from Florida just to come back a second time, and it was completely worth it. Easily one of our favorite breweries

This place is so adorable. It is a relaxing environment and easy to breathe with all the plants around (; so many delicious beers on tap i really enjoyed trying their selection of sour beers. There was many games to play with an over all chill, welcoming, communal vibe. I had a lovely time chatting with Olivia and her service was top notch. Not only was she helpful and knowledge but extremely personable and just a joy. She was the absolute cherry on top of my delightful experience. I will be back!

The greenhouse is my favorite place in town! I love the atmosphere and all the plants. The staff seem like a tight knit group and I have never had better service, Particularly from the fellow Patrick in the dungarees.

Our waitress was absolutely amazing! She was punctual with our refills and so friendly. The garlic bread was a must-try - it got 5 stars! The food itself was 3 stars, but I could have easily made it at home. If I ever go back, I’ll definitely come for the 5-star bread. The place was peaceful and perfect for great company.

I’ve visited a few times now, and the food has always been excellent! The service is consistently good as well. This spot works perfectly for both date nights and casual lunches. It can get a bit lively at times, but the atmosphere and scenery still make it well worth the visit.

Absolutely lovely Italian Restaurant in a nice quiet area of the city near the River! Proper good traditional Italian cuisine! Service was superb and the food was even better. I had homemade Linguine in a tomato and basil sauce with chicken and it was delightful. The pasta was lovely and the tomato and basil sauce was so fresh it was just so so good. Price was fairly reasonable also and there was a good selection of dishes on the menu! Can't recommend this place enough probably some of the best Italian food i have had outside of Italy.

Truly enjoyed our dinner. My husband and I split the Caesar salad, nothing to brag about. My chicken parm was delicious. Hubby really enjoyed his lasagna. Lots of wonderful bread that was soft on the inside just how we like it. We definitely go back.

Another Chattanooga favorite.. loved this place. We waiting for about 40 minutes for a table and there were people constantly filing in for a table. It was constant, you can tell they are a favorite. The menu offering is as Italian favorites and craft your own pasta bowls and pizzas. We got a handmade pasta and a ravioli. We got to sit outside on the few patios they have. It’s a very nice restaurant that can handle a lot of people. Our waitress was nice and our drinks came out fast. Also, loved the bread that was included on the table 😋 Loved this place!

I travel alot for work and im a huge Italian food connoisseur, Tony's was both in beautiful location and great atmosphere. For those who are not familiar and the GPS takes you to overpass, it's a full roundabout and there is parking near the restaurant. Not going to lie, the Spaghettini Con Crudo was both visually good and delicious. The pine nuts, definitely was a first. The bread was really good as well, I sprung for the desert, neapolitan ice cream with cashews. They paired greatly, not a combo I would of thought of. Service was great, the greeter, she was very friendly and a good smile and the waitress was attentive and patient with me, since this was my first time in Tennessee and the first restaurant I chose. Overall, the food, the price, and the experience was really worth it. Definitely recommend them.

Tony’s Pasta Shop & Trattoria is a beautiful spot with an atmosphere that really stands out. The setting is amazing and very scenic, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal with friends or family. The service was good and the staff was attentive, which made the dining experience smooth and pleasant. The food itself was okay. It was solid and satisfying, though it did not quite stand out compared to the incredible atmosphere. Still, paired with the great service and the beautiful surroundings, it made for an enjoyable evening overall. If you are looking for a restaurant where the vibe and scenery elevate the experience, Tony’s is definitely worth visiting.

The park provided a wonderful experience for the children. The scenery surrounding the area was quite pleasing, offering a pleasant visual treat specially during sunset. Despite the overall positive experience, it was unfortunate that access to the walking bridge was unavailable. Hopefully, the bridge will be open soon for everyone to fully appreciate its beauty. Overall, it was a memorable day.

The Coolidge Bridge is one of the most scenic spots in Chattanooga. Walking across gives you incredible views of the Tennessee River, downtown, and the surrounding mountains. It is peaceful, relaxing, and perfect for taking pictures or just enjoying the moment. The highlight of my visit was the sunset. Watching the sky light up with color over the river from the bridge was absolutely beautiful and unforgettable. It is the kind of view that makes you slow down and just take it all in. The bridge connects downtown to Coolidge Park, which makes it a great place for both locals and visitors. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting, with families, walkers, and cyclists all sharing the space. If you want a scenic walk and one of the best views of Chattanooga, especially at sunset, the Coolidge Bridge is a must-see.

Adding this stop to our vacation was the best decision! Public parking for an hour to explore was $2 by the blue rhino(pic opp) They had this cool little area with pipes and metal plates set up like instruments for the kids to play on and frozen ice by the parking lot. We had to walk around bridge construction but we checked out the kayak ramp, little games along the paths, and racing through a big field beside the amazing dancing waters with detailed statues. The park has an antique carousel you can ride for free. The attendant was super friendly and the different animals were so intriguing. Outlining the park were the backend of the shops and restaurants. Chalk alley is one of the best ways to the street. Trust me! I definitely recommend adding this stop to your chattanooga trip.

Coolidge Park over looks the Tn River. It offers an active water fountain that all ages can enjoy. Make sure you ride the carousel . The park is dog friendly there is enough lawn for playing outdoor sports , resting on a blanket or pic nic with the family.

Today at the park was the annual Garden Gala with a plethora of vendors selling all kinds of artwork and photography work, things to eat, things to wear, and much more. The park has a beautiful walking path that runs along side the river and then turns inward to a wooded area and a walking bridge. Flat surface, easy hike, mostly shade.

A great place to hang out to run to take your dog to take your kids to take your grandma Ride your bike paddle board rock climb take a nap have a picnic Ride a carousel Play in water sit on the bench with your best girl and look at the city and watch the sunset over the city if you haven't take your girl to see that you take her I bet she'll love you like the moon ew take around a full moon now we're talking

This is a great place for families no matter the age. My dad has always taken us here on our road trips since I was a little girl and now we still go back with his grandkids and great grandkids. There is so much to do and plenty of parking. Their is boat rides on the river they have kayaks or canoes. There's the splash pad for the kids and the antique carousel for kids and adults to ride on. They have nice paved walkways down the river.

Visited Puckett's after a trip to the aquarium. Could smell the meat from the smoker outside and decided to stop in. Was not disappointed by the amazing brisket. I ordered a brisket Philly. The meat was tender, juicy and had an incredible bark. The cheese sauce also had a distinct smoked flavor. Our waitress Stephanie was very polite and attentive. Even taking time to entertain my daughter with extra coloring sheets and stickers.

Making a quick stop here for lunch but wish we had chosen somewhere else. Their restaurant is cute and the staff is friendly, but the food we had was less than average. I ordered a cheeseburger, medium, expecting a little pink in the center. I received a burger that was very bland and tasted as if it had not been seasoned at all, mostly pink inside. As a side, I ordered the macaroni and cheese, which was okay. My husband ordered the Low and Slow brisket, which was dry and he felt the rub was a bit too salty. He did say that the beans, slaw, and sweet potato fries were good, though. After we were seated, we were told our server had to leave for a second. They were very good about following up, taking our order, and making sure we received our food. However, it was difficult to get the attention of anyone to bring us our check when we were finished. Which is understandable, because I never saw our server return. My vote would be skip this place and try another. Definitely not with $40 (that was without drinks or tip).

We stopped at Puckett’s for our first meal in Chattanooga and enjoyed the laid-back vibe and friendly service. The sampler platter was a highlight, especially the fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese balls, which were both delicious. For entrees, the Mac and cheese with pulled pork was creamy and flavorful, though I expected a bit more pork. The Mojo Burger had a nice combination of flavors but didn’t stand out as exceptional. The chicken fried chicken was tasty and comforting, but the mashed potato portion felt small. Our daughter enjoyed her Mac and cheese and said the sweet potato fries were “yummy.” Overall, Puckett’s delivered good Southern fare with warm and attentive service. It’s a solid choice for casual dining downtown, though not a “blow-your-mind” kind of meal.

The bbq is delicious, and exactly you think of when it comes to southern bbq - due to the proximity to the aquarium it does get very busy in weekend and it does get pricey. The meat and 3 daily special is the best value but only available if you get there before 3pm. Their homemade bbq sauces are great and and sides are classics (fried okra with ranch was my favourite) very attentive staff and always a big portion.

This was our fourth visit to Puckett’s and all of our previous visits were great. This visit, however, was bad. We ordered the “whole farm” to split amongst me and two kids. The sausage and BBQ pork were great, the brisket was a mix of lukewarm juicy pieces and tough (for brisket) chunks, the turkey was so dry and over cooked that you couldn’t cut it with a knife, and the half chicken was so dry that I had to chug water to get it down. I asked for more turkey (my son and I’s favorite) and after 20+ minutes they brought out a piece that was even more over cooked. The waitress didn’t seem to notice the issue and we never saw a manager until we got the check and asked to speak to him. He heard how our experience was, saw all the food left on the table, and did absolutely nothing about it. I don’t know if it was the time of day (we got there at 7:45) or what, but this experience was DEFINITELY not worth the $50+ for one adult and two kids.

This place is amazing! The food was excellent! We found it going to the aquarium and decided to stop. The burgers were hand patted and the brisket nachos OMG! I would drive from GA just to eat here.

Great food and atmosphere. We came here for lunch on a Thursday and were seated right away. We ordered The While Farm and it was plenty for the two of us to share.

The museum is a mix of classic and modern architecture and features an extensive collection of American art with a few European artists mixed in. While it doesn't boast a huge number of famous artists there are a few pieces by Warhol, Hopper, Wyeth, Wood and Sargent in the collection. The main part of the collection is 1800's to mid 1900's American art and it's a very nice collection. There is some modern and contemporary art mixed in. The museum includes some interactive areas, including one to make an expressive self portrait to be featured on a screen at the beginning of the walk through. Unfortunately, we didn't get to venture through the sculpture gardens because it was raining. It's definitely worth a trip, and you get 3 hours of free parking validated inside the museum.

This Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee is spectacular and i went there with my dad this weekend. this Museum has it's great History and Art Displays in every single gallery ever from the Colonial American era to the Modern Day Art era of now, plus you can make your own Digital Portrait of yourself and let your imagination go wild; and there Gift Shop is very decent and nice!

Definitely smaller but excellently priced and very informative. The displays describe the artwork perfectly and the sculpture is outside lead to a interesting garden walk under the famous adjacent bridge. Regrettably the garden display is closed until a later date.

Beautiful museum. I loved how it was laid out. Early 1900s to late 1900s in one part of the building then in the mansion 1800s art. Also enjoyed seeing an Andy Warhol original!

The museum is made up of three buildings in different architectural styles, showcasing American art from the 1800s to today, reflecting on the different parts of American history and how they influenced the various artistic styles that are shown. The different artworks are very well explained and contextualised in my opinion, which makes the museum interesting for both art enthusiasts and newbies. There’s a special focus on female and non-white American artists, which I think is very important and I really appreciate. We spent about two hours there, which was a good amount of time to explore all of the rooms, but you could easily prolong your museum visit and spend more time in the interactive rooms. One of the best curated museums I’ve visited in a long time, 5 stars!

We hosted our welcome party for our wedding weekend at the Hunter Museum of Art, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The setting is stunning—our guests couldn’t stop talking about the views and how special it felt to celebrate there. A huge thank you especially to Amber and Nolan for being so helpful, kind, and on top of every detail. They made the entire process seamless and so enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more beautiful place to kick off our wedding weekend!

Beautiful art! Amazing views, great artists and music presentations. First Thursday of month is free entry after 16:00👍🏼

I miss the old Bluff View District! It's really gone downhill since Michael left. The new renovations to Rembrandt's leave it feeling cold and impersonal, just like any other coffee shop (if not for the patio, they would not have such a good business), and the menu has been severely limited. Back Inn closed and with it took a good restaurant, leaving only Tony's with its overcooked pasta and noisy, boring atmosphere. I miss the wine tastings; they were the best part of the Bluff. I've given it 2 stars only for the art; they do a fabulous job with the sculpture garden and other pieces scattered throughout the Bluff, and the Gallery is still very good. Except for the art, no real reason to go here anymore. I miss the old Bluff View District.

This is a lovely area with shops and cafés and an amazing sculpture garden. It's a great place to picnic or walk around with a cup of coffee and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings.

I was in Chattanooga for 3 days and I stopped by BVAD every day! Rembrandt Coffee is a great way to start the day with tasty food and coffee. Nice sculpture garden and great views of the TN River and Walnut St Bridge. This is only a 1.5 block, art district but it has a unique, European vibe. There is limited parking for free, 2 hours.

Beautiful old world style place to walk, sightsee, eat, look at art, shop, have a coffee, see a beautiful river, catch a sunset (or sunrise), and stay a night, ...and the view of Chattanooga's bridges.. wow! The list goes on & on. One of my favorite places in Chattanooga. Whether you are a visitor or a local, ya gotta experience it. Lovely.

What a beautiful way to experience downtown Chattanooga! The art was interesting, eclectic, and well placed. easy to walk, but it is hard to find parking... be patient. It's worth it.

We have enjoyed the Bluff View Art District for many years. Great food at four restaurants. The sculpture garden is free and really worth a quick walk. Also two art museums are adjacent. Parking can be limited at times

The time in Chattanooga was short, but the visit here, made it clear that a return visit is in order. Options for eating are plentiful. The views are wonderful. It’s a great place to explore and soak all that Chattanooga has to offer.

Their margherita flatbread pizza was so delicious and probably the best flatbread I've ever had. The pimento cheese with bacon jam and pita was also delicious. I had one of the IPAs and it was ok. It was extremely hot inside to the point I was sweating. The poor plants hanging on the wall looked like they hadn't been watered in quite a while. Nice atmosphere, just really hot.

The place is great and I love the total vibe, but they have this slushie machine over in the corner that's not being used that they could replace with a sweet and unsweet tea station because they don't sell tea, in the south, in chattanooga, sweet or unsweet. Also, I went to ask him to buy a sticker of their logo cuz I collect brewing company stickers and they said they don't sell stickers. What the hell, that's the whole point of owning a brewing company. Anyway, the food was good and the service was great.

Great beer. Great new location. Nice and attentive beertenders and overall a good selection!

We came here for a late lunch on Monday and it the food was above average for what you would expect. It is a great place for a light lunch if that is what you’re looking for. They have a lot of options for their local draft and a couple other domestic options if you do not like what they offer. Our waitress was really nice and attentive and answered all of that questions that we had. She also offered us small samples of a couple local draft options.

Service was amazing. Beer was great and the nachos wonderful. Loved the vibe and the bar chairs. My only negative was no “ beer stickers” my husband and I love breweries and we collect stickers for our “brew board” Chattanooga Brewing sadly won’t make it on our board!

Stopped here a few years back and have always wanted to return. Got my wish last week and found it to be better than before. My wife and I enjoyed playing table shuffleboard, listening to open mic players and enjoying roasted chicken sandwiches with honey mustard, Gruyère cheese and apple butter on them. The Barley pops are always tasty too! Thanks team, you made the return trip worth it!

My wife and I sat at the bar. It has a laid-back vibe and cool atmosphere. We loved the beer and cocktails, chicken nachos and pizza. Service was also great.

This is my first time at songbirds, it's a great intimate venue I saw some live folk music, sound was great, air conditioning was amazing in the hot Tennessee summer, and the people working there were super nice. It's got a lot of interesting history and exhibits to look at while you're waiting for the show. Very enjoyable evening.

Finally made it to see the new Songbirds spot and they were open! Saw a local rock band The Unsatisfied perform here a few nights ago. Purchase online saves a few bucks. They don’t have as much museum artifacts but the music decor was interesting along with the more intimate setting is nice. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Great spot for a show or a bday party. Welcome back Songbirds

First time attending a seated concert. Ill be back. Its a guitar museum and music venue with a bar but its kid friendly.

As the admin for a touring and, we play alot of clubs, bars, and festivals. Of all the places The Unsatisfied has played recently, Songbirds has to be one of the top teir best. We are always met with respect and integrity. The staff there are all kind and professional, James, Victoria, Mike, Saylor, Andres, Ryan, Spencer - thank you! The museum is amazing and presents a beautiful backdrop for our Tribe to visit. And the Foundation itself uses proceeds to provide programs that give kids access to music. Check out their work online, go see a show there or just visit the museum, if you are a band, reach out to them for booking. It is an experience we appreciate and recommend highly on all levels! ~Lysa

Such an awesome experience. Would out on the very top of your list of things to do in Chattanooga! Reviews were mixed so we weren’t really sure what to expect but the museum exceeded our expectations and then some! Beautiful museum-clean, well organized, informative with a lot of interactive exhibits. My 14 year old who’s very into guitars absolutely loved it. He was so intrigued throughout. Said of things we did in Chattanooga (Ruby Falls, Incline Railway, and Rock City) this was by far his favorite. While I’m not as in to music as he is, I also found it interesting and enjoyed the historical knowledge there and learning more about Chattanooga’s history too. Clean, modern space with polite, knowledgeable staff. Lovely bathroom facilities. And can’t beat it for $15! We spent about 3 hours enjoying the museum. I’d recommend allowing at least 2 but honestly, even if you’ve just got an hour it’s worth the visit! Oh, and some other reviews mentioned the vault wasn’t open- it’s open now and it’s super cool!

Very intimate venue! Beautiful showcase of instruments as well

Great experience! Slightly smaller than expected however we still spent two and a half hours reading the information and learning about the music scene in Chattanooga as well as all of the great informational exhibits regarding sound, music and the history of some famous players.

Very welcoming environment and fantastic food! We got the culture club and the nachos and they were both fantastic. More elevated than food you’d make at home, but still feels like wholesome, good, real food. There’s a lovely shaded patio as well.

Vegan nachos are always a must order & these were phenomenal! We loved all our food. Bar is also well stocked. Owners have a karaoke bar too & we can’t wait to come back to check that out soon! Thank you Terry & Ash so nice meet yall and nosh.

Fantastic vegan joint. The bartender, Ashley, was super cool and chatted with me while I ate. The food was VERY good. It has a down-home-southern-cookin vibe to it despite being vegan. I got the diamonds and rust. Also had the peanut butter french toast and it was so good I'll be craving it later!!! Highly recommend!!!

What a pearl! We went there back in March and we still think about the amazing food and owners. No complaints. Only: if you are in Chattanooga, vegan or not, GO TO SLUGGO’S

Hands down the best vegan restaurant in town! It’s been ten years since the last time I ate here, and it’s just as good as I remembered it.

Life saver being open a bit later on a Sunday! My wife can only eat at vegan places due to her gluten and dairy allergy and finding good places to eat is always a challenge but this place really delivered!! Price is reasonable too

Don't let the pics deter you. The diamonds and rust platter was delicious and full of flavor.

I understand it's a $1 taco but this is more like a 25 cent taco. So sad, I really used to love this place! I hope they can turn it around soon.

It’s a club for underage and of age people who like to hang out dance bowl play table tennis and play pool or corn hole drinks are amazing and the music is awesome

The atmosphere here is really cool and the place definitely has a lot of potential, but unfortunately the food and service were both disappointing. We went for Sunday brunch, and nothing tasted fresh — it seemed like most of it had been frozen and microwaved. I ordered the “fresh fruit” and was charged $4 for what turned out to be just a cut-up orange. The bacon also tasted like microwave bacon. On top of that, the service was less than great. It took over 45 minutes to get our food, and then another 30 minutes just to track down our waitress and get the check. Really disappointing, because with such a great vibe this could be a fantastic spot if the food and service improved.

Been about 7-8 years since I had been here. The food was very good! They were accommodating to my allergies. And had a good drink option. The music was great and many different seating options as well. Really enjoyed coming back here.

Cool bar hangout to pregame UTC Mocs football games. Great mixologists, lots of TV's to watch SEC, and even have bowling alleys if you're not into football Saturday action.

How fun!! We went with our big Family and had plenty of room upstairs to eat. The kids enjoyed playing in the rooms while we waited for the food. We also played darts while we waited. Theres bowling and pool too. Outdoor area is so much fun too! We all had a blast ! Food was sooooo good too.

Killer place. Sweet spot to hang out in the evening and during the day as well. Used to be attached to a bounce place the kids could go to but not anymore. Pretty affordable drinks, bowling, games and more. This place never seems to get me though when I go to to the bathroom haha. You think it’s a mirror in the bathroom at the handwashing station until you realize it’s an open wall to the other room . Always a good time to be had here, don’t miss out!
