a glass of beer
Gregg K.

Great place for quality beer. Chris is great and trying to bring in some top quality kegs. I'll happily return next time I'm in Tally.

This is a cool place in the funky little All Saints area next to Sugar Rush and down the street from the Bark. It's a dark and narrow bar but still welcoming and comfortable. The bartenders are super friendly and helpful when you're not sure what to order. On my most recent visit, I had a grapefruit radler and also a cherry mead from Meridian Hive. Both were delicious alone as well as mixed together. My only complaint is that there is only one single bathroom. I swear the minute you go in and lock the door, someone else is trying to get in. Kind of annoying...

Ultimate vibes drinking place. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking just to chill, have a few beers, and watch some sports. Service is great and the people there are super nice.

Kurosawa's Kagemushu playing

Wonderful little bar hidden away in a slightly dicey neighborhood. - Eclectic selection of beer - Friendly barkeep - Next to and affiliated with The Grain restaurant - you can order food from there. But beware, The Grain is closed on Monday, so while Fermentation is not, the only food available that night are hot pretzels and a cheese plate. - There's a video screen in the back. It was playing Kurosawa's Kagemushu the night I was in. The barkeep said they normally do YouTube videos but decided to switch it up. Seating is limited - this is not a big place. There are several seats at the small bar, a few behind you at tables and some lounge/cinema seats in the back. A few tables outside. Beer is reasonably priced. Recommended.

The most relaxing change of pace from the Tallahassee bar scene. Fermentation Lounge is a craft beer hide out for young professionals, worldly adults, and dare I say, the more intellectual patrons of the Tallahassee arts district. The ever-changing tap list (12, I believe) showcases the best microbreweries from around the countries. Oskar Blues, Lagunitas, Bells, etc. I'd elaborate on their extensive selection of ciders, wines and meads, but those aren't my forte. Also, I learned last night that if you wish to take a beer to go, you may choose any bottled beer and purchase it for 25% off. Fascinating! And also an exceptional ploy to try out those certain brews you can never buy singles of in retail stores. The service is always delightful. Truly outstanding people behind the counter who can actually hold a real-life conversation with you. As for the atmosphere, FL is the place where instead of "turning up," you read a thick novel while soaking up the most excellent outdoor seating area. And if my two cents means anything, I'd stick with that swanky blues playlist from last night because that's my jam!

Great and vast selection of Craft beer. Literally there has to be like a hundred or more options both on can and in draft. If you are a craft beer lover and want to try beers from different breweries and styles, then this is your spot. Other places like World of Beer, Crafthouse, etc. I feel do not truly have a vast selection of high quality, limited, and known new beers within the craft community and from around the U.S.

Outside patio area
Taylor T.

Excellent beer selection, and lots of non-typical choices to excite even the stalled pallet. Relaxing vibe and atmosphere. Come chill and educate your drink senses.

Really cute spot, great beer selection and knowledge staff. When it's nice out, they have a cute outdoor area to sit and drink your beer and in the winter they sometimes have an outdoor heater going which is nice. Have had some weird encounters with the bartender though.

Great little spot to grab a glass of wine or try a new beer. We tried Mead for the first time, which had a great taste and hint if sweetness, from the honey. They have a large selection of beers on tap and canned, as well as wine. Small, but various bar menu. We tried the pretzels, one with German mustard, and the second with cheese. I was pleasantly surprised to see them actually heating the cheese stove top and it was saved in the sauce pan it which it was cooked. Saw that they have a special on Tuesday nights, two tacos for $5.00. While seating is limited inside, the do offer outside tables and chairs. They also had a wide selection of board and card games, so you could plan a game night with friends, while enjoying your drink of choice.

Cool relaxed vibes. Great bartenders who genuinely want you to enjoy and learn new beverages. Outdoor seating that accommodates any group or couple. Excellent beers, ciders, mead, snacks. What's not to love about this place? Oh, it does get super intense crowded late at night but pre-6pm is GOLDEN.

A watering hole in its truest form. That's the description that probably fits best for the Fermentation Lounge. Craft beers, wines, and a couple of cider choices. Small, narrow venue with a bar, couch seating and outside tables. Definitely friendly staff and patrons. For me it's a place to meet friends to start the evening or just a quaint place to study or surf the internet. Parking in the area is extremely tight so be on your toes!

See all

However, There was one mishap that occurred during the meal service. The waiter inadvertently waisted water ALL OVER ME! My shirt was soaked! Other that that, the rest of the meat was fine. Other patrons witnessed this, and I anticipated that management would eventually come out and, at the very least apologize. NO SUCH COURTESY was extended! At the end of the meal, I ask for management. A "manager" appeared at the table , upon request, and I explained the situation. Instead of apologizing for the mishap; the manager(over kitchen staff) offered to "pay me off" with a $50 gift card, as if that was my expectation, to get some type of compensation.! I objected, and expressed my dissatisfaction with his assumption(writing me off as some type of opportunistic beggar!)! When I said his offer WAS NOT SUFFICIENT nor ACCEPTABLE(as I was expecting professionalism, and NOT charity); his IMMEDIATE next response was; and I quote; "i will call the police and have you removed"!!! What?!?! This is the type of response that a black man can expect for objecting to sub-par service(having my clothes ruined) from EVE ON ADAMS?!?! It appeared so, to me from that manager, who also refused to provide his name! My immediate response to him was, "CALL THE POLICE!". I asked my wife to start recording! However, that manager QUICKLY left the table! WE sat there for some time waiting(for the police)! My wife, "mother" of my children, and reason for patronizing the establishment, (out of fear for what happens to black peoplein these situations) suggested we should leave. She thanked me for bringing her there, but said "she NEVER WANTED TO COME HERE AGAIN"! But before I would leave, I decided to request for higher management. Someone at the bar, indicated that he was a manager as well. I explained the issue and he apologized for the other manager's inadequacies, and the poor service that we received! I accepted that, but still WOULD NEVER FREQUENT EVE on Adams establishment again under current management! And again, the waiter who made the mishap, WAS WAAAAAY more apologetic and empathetic, than management!! Would Not Frequent this establishment ever again!

There was somewhat of a strict dress code being enforced that night which didn't allow my cousin to enter due to the fact that her dress was made of a mesh material at the bottom, which is why I deducted a star from this review. After driving home to change and making it back to the club, the entrance fee had increased a whole $10 which was outrageous!!! We went ahead and paid the fee since it was her birthday but $30 per person is a little steep for a hole in the wall type establishment in my opinion. It took forever to get drinks since the place was packed wall to wall with people. Thank god one of the girls I was with knew a guy that pretty much let us squeeze in next to him and a few of his friends at a small table. After about the second drink I began to really feel myself and let loose. The Dj played a great mix of older R&B and Hip Hop hits that had the whole club singing along. I'm not sure if it was the drinks or the fact that I had hardly eaten anything that day but I was overly intoxicated after just two cups. We called it a night after I knocked over someone's plate of chicken wings and became a personal dancer for a random group of guys. Overall I enjoyed my night in the Flite and will most definitely be returning in the near future. Just a tip for the ladies, do not wear anything mesh or see through or you may be denied access into the club. Also try the wings since I've heard such good things about them from everyone who has mentioned this spot to me.

The place has an indoor bar with seating, just outside of that is some covered porch seating, and beyond that is a huge patio on artificial grass with a bunch of tables and lounge seating. The bar has a menu ful of tropical adult beverages and cuban food favs. Their food menu includes: wings, churrasco, parrilla, salads, steak, empanadas, fried queso cubes, croquetas, yuca, street corn wraps, burgers, sandwiches and plantains. I came here at night and I had to pay a $10 cover charge to get in and all I wanted to do was eat. They had a DJ pumping hits, but I did not see why a cover charge was needed. This place was empty. The bar has a lot of security floating around and I had to get patted down before I entered which I took as a sign of prior issues. The staff there was friendly. It was a nice night so I sat out on the patio. They have a full bar with an exquisite menu that includes signature cocktails, mimosa, mojitos, and daiquiris. Of course I had to try some. I had the Son of a Biche and a Miami Mojito. They were bot great and I would definitely recommend them. The menu is full of tasty fufu drinks though and you probably could not go wrong. I ordered the churrasco with chimichurri sauce. I got a side of fries, fried yuca and sweet plantains. It took about 15 minutes for me to get my food. I really liked the steak it was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The plantains were not the best that I have had, but they were good. Fries are fries. It is hard to mess them up. The yuca was good. I do not normally eat yuka, but I ate all of those. This spot is very colorful and bright and has a lot stuff going on. Probably a bit too much for me. It was like a club like atmosphere, but with a few people. I would probably recommend coming to this place for lunch unless you are into the club vibe.

It's been another year since my last review, and theres been some great changes…read more PRO AIR/SMOKE FILTRATION AND IONIZER One of the best lounges I've been too in handling smoke filtration and overall cigar smell. On top of the two industrial air filtration systems on the ceiling, the owners have added two floor units. It's my understanding that all the filters are changed, not just cleaned, but replaced monthly. If that's true, it's working, and greatly appreciated by customers. The owners have also installed an ionizer that runs every night during non-occupancy. I was the first customer in that day, NO CIGAR STENCH!!! What a difference!!! Every lounge should have an ionizer! Nice assorted beer menu, Cuban coffee, Soft drinks, and more. Comfortable chairs. Games. Poker Table. Ect. Large TV's that are easy to view from anyplace you're seated. CON Parking can be a pain. For a Cigar Social, the STOCK in the cigar humidor is not well maintained, and could have a better thought on variety. The holy trinity for cigar storage; Temperature (Good) Humidity (Good) I checked purchased cigars with a cigar humidity meter. UV/Sunlight (?) There is a window going to the outside in the humidor, and there are cigars right at the window. I didn't see any film on the window to block UV rays. If there is, disregard the CON. Applying film, or posters, on the window would protect the cigars from UV, and also help maintain a steady temperature. Overall a very pleasant experience. Staff were wonderful. Extremely clean!
