Fall salad, a flight, and free parking -- what more could you ask for?
Lori T.

Not your typical brewery food -- everything is made from scratch by their on-site chef, and the brews on tap rotate so you can keep trying new flavors. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and will remember your name and order if you come in every weekend (ask me how I know -- ha!) Stop in for a casual date night or weekend brunch. Sit outside if weather permits. It's a delightful spot and deserves to be around for years to come. Tell them Lori sent you!

Visited Crazy Gnome Brewery for a Nashville brewhouse event and really enjoyed the experience! It's a small, local brewery with a cozy vibe and a friendly atmosphere. I tried their beer flight and especially liked Lemon Squeezy and Hefe Von Gnome -- both were refreshing and well-balanced. They also serve food from FAB Pizza, which was good but felt a bit overpriced for the portion size. The ambiance overall is well maintained, and the outdoor seating is a nice touch, especially on a pleasant evening. A great spot to hang out with friends, try some local brews, and enjoy the laid-back Nashville beer scene.

I came here from downtown on a scooter with my sister and brother in law because we missed the drunk tour so we ended up here. Well it was it was worth it. Small but very convenient and super friendly. Had all kinds of testers and they were very knowledgeable of the beer they had on tap. Just be nice to the people there and chat it up . 10:10 cute little spot for beer

The staff is fabulous. There is a nice variety of beer. They have a few tvs. There is a quiet room with games. It can get kinda loud. Everyone is happy and friendly and explains about all the beer. The brunch was so good and the wait wasn't long even though it was busy!

Their greatest asset is their people. The passion for their craft is evident from the brewing process to the taproom, the apparent goal is to be the best at their work. The beers I had the pleasure of tasting were great, and the Celtic Grounds was excellent. I especially liked hearing the history of the site. The taproom is very comfortable and inviting, with a thoughtful layout and interesting games and decor. The on-site pizza, F.A.B., is also a bit.

We stopped here as part of the Brew Hop trolley and I'm so glad we did. It's a very small place, hidden behind a store. The interior is larger than it looks. It might have tardis magic (IYKYK). The guys at the counter were super nice and very quick with our beer. The interior is decorated very cozy - it's like someone's basement and we are all just hanging out. I really loved their beers - this was the only stop on the tour that we bought a shirt from cause it impressed us that much. We will be happy to come back.

Everyone was super friendly! Flights were very fairly priced and worth the try. Overall, a relaxed and fun experience!

Congratulations for the 2022 accomplishments and then moving forward into 2023, 2024! Great place with a chill vibe as well as creative brews. Appreciate Bennet and Grayson for the effort as well as perseverance on creating high quality brews to not only, but to Please continue to share your love to this 37206 staple. Kramer the Tap Manager was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the beers. Abbey is always welcoming and a pleasure to interact with every visit. Great place to check out NFL games when everyone else is fighting for a table or parking in East. Parking is shared with Main Street Liquor and vey easy to get a spot. One of my few fortress of solitudes that always delivers...

I love trying new breweries everywhere I travel! While visiting Nashville, this was the one I decided to try! Off the beaten path, crazy gnome brewery is a great place for a good beer. They have great outdoor and indoor seating. A great list of local brews and seltzer to try! They have a small parking lot for you to use, tvs, tables, and games to play while you're enjoying your drink! The employees welcomed us in and let me try samples before deciding!

Crazy Gnome is a local micro/nano-brewery that sits directly on Main Street about a block or two from the heart of Five Points. While they are situated on Main Street, finding them can be a little tricky as they sit in the corner of the same building that houses Main Street Liquors. Parking can be a bit of situation here, especially when it gets packed. They do not have a dedicated lot, but you can consider the liquor store parking just that...as besides street parking, that is the best place to look. On weekends and in the evenings you can scoop up a spot in the lot for Gym 5...but all the other times, be planful or creative for parking! Crazy Gnome isn't the largest spot, but they have done a good job with the space they have. Outside they have a recreation area with a few games you can play or you can chill at one of the tables/picnic tables. Just inside the doors you have a 6 to 8 stool bar, a communal standing table, standard 4 tops and even a lounge area fitted with sofas and chairs. We opted for a picnic table outside which allowed us to watch the folk on the treadmills at the neighboring gym as we sipped our carb loaded beers! They have a constant rotation of beers with usually 8 - 12 actively on tap. I usually prefer the smoother and lighter selections so I went with the Protect our Pollinators on round 1 and finished my visit off with their Breakfast of Champions. Both were great light beers. My partner is a sour fella, in attitude and beer taste (badum tss), so he went with the April Sours Bring May Flowers and then the Lemon Squeezy. Service was excellent, the bartenders were both friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming..as was the sign on the door notating that they are a LGBTQ+ safe space...was great to see that! Definitely a spot we will be back to!

Beer flight
Mike H.

Newish brewery in East Nashville right off Main Street. Fun gnome theme and very attentive to details. They have flight options, growlers, and beers to go. Food is very limited but they do allow you to bring your own food, or get something delivered! Beers were good but nothing that I found outstanding. One complaint is not a lot of parking unless you're parking in some of the gyms spots next door which I doubt there's a lot of overlap depending on the time you go.

Flight, 16 oz breakfast of champions, and trivia
Kimberly P.

I actually don't think they have food other than chips/pretzels, but they have a nice variety of beers from Hefeweizen to sour to porter to shandy to ipa to Pilsner. They also have trivia on Thursday nights where the top 3 teams win prizes. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The only drawback is the limited parking.

Now that Southern Grist has been acquired by XUL Beer Company in Knoxville another Amazing brewery I've visited several times and watched grow. This feels like two epic forces coming together. Think of it like two legendary bands collaborating on a "Greatest Hits Mixtape." I can't wait to see what comes next from this powerhouse combo! Today I went with a couple of flights and here's how it shook out: Engywook - Wild stuff. The cinnamon and nutmeg absolutely jump out at you. A small taster was perfect for me it's definitely a conversation starter. PG&J Mixtape: Grape - This is my jam (literally). So good. Sweet, nostalgic, perfectly balanced. In my opinion, one of the best in the country. Freezes & Hoverboards - Solid beer, well made, just not my personal favorite of the lineup. Peach Black Currant Strawberry Hill - Very good. Big, layered fruit flavor with great depth. Strawberry Delight Hill - Sooooo good! This is a must-have. Bright, flavorful, and dangerously easy to drink. Peanut Butter Copra - A stout with peanuts and a hint of toasted coconut. Let this one warm up a bit and the flavors really open up. Rich and smooth. Batch One Theory: 10th Anniversary Stout - Very good anniversary brew. I caught a subtle barleywine note blending into the stout character -- complex and interesting. Overall, this is a great place to sample some seriously creative beers. Plenty of space to sit inside or out, relax, and work your way through a flight. If you're a fan of bold flavors and breweries that aren't afraid to experiment, this is your spot.

We then proceeded to place an order of food. We finished our cocktails and finished our food. After waiting for about 15 minutes and no one acknowledged us, we waved one of the bartenders down as she approached the cash register and requested to close out. The bartender seemed bothered that we flagged her down and quickly turned back using a micro aggressive tone and responded that she needed to complete helping a customer before she can help us. I have worked in customer service/food and cocktail industry and her tone/response was completely unnecessary. We have been to a few "dive" bars in the past In CA, NY, AZ, TX, AL and other parts of Tennessee and we have never encountered a response like that before. Maybe it was a busy Saturday afternoon or maybe they do not cater to diversity. Regardless we will not be returning.

We came last week to attend a concert on a Friday night. This is a really cool little venue!…read more Parking wasn't a terrible struggle the night of, though we wound up paying a small fee to park at a bar that was down one building. Honestly, I was just relieved we found a spot within easy walking distance. We arrived a few minutes late unfortunately and the lights were already a little dim so I couldn't see the place as well as I wanted. Our tickets and IDs were checked as we walked in. The venue is located on the second floor above another business. The steps are a little steep to watch your heels if you're wearing them! Inside there's a small stage and a nice bar. Seating is pretty limited but for our concert the vibe was definitely super high energy/party focused so we didn't mind standing up to bounce and dance to the music. The bar has a nice array of specialty cocktails. I was very impressed with the bartender, Marc, who was attentive, fun, and hardworking. He even went out of his way to help the performer when a few small details went awry on the stage. I don't drink super often and what I wound up ordering didn't taste quite like how I'd hoped it would, but I'm more than willing to chalk that up to my relative inexperience and general ambivalence toward alcohol. The sound/acoustics were great and the whole place was bumpin! I would advise bringing ear plugs to protect your hearing if you're headed to a loud concert -- you'll inevitably be fairly close to the performer and therefore it can easily be suuuuuper loud with the mics and amps and whatnot. I had a great time but will try to remember mine next time! The only main drawback was it got hot inside super fast. We stood by the open entryway for much of the conference and even that airflow wasn't enough to keep us from leaving very, very sweaty lol. Bring water! Overall, a fun venue and a great night out for us! Thanks, TBV!
