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!

a glass of beer on a table

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

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.

Milk stout

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!

Great drink selection and very relaxed vibe which is perfect for those nights where Collegetown and Midtown is just too much.

Probably the best "laidback" bar in Tallahassee with a huge selection of all different types of beer.

It doesn't matter if you circle back, head back, or run back... you NEED to get yourselves to…read more Come Back Tacos in Midtown! Located at the corner of Thomasville Rd and East 7th Avenue at the convenience store near Midtown Caboose. We stopped by for a quick afternoon snack, and our tacos were absolutely stacked! We ordered one taco each, and they were loaded all the way up! The service was top notch and they offer cute little outdoor shaded picnic tables so you can save your vehicle upholstery from wearing your meal. Be sure to get them "con todo" with cheese, sour cream, cilantro, onion, street corn, and guacamole salsa. These tacos were a perfect balance of spicy heat and cool freshness. They make everything by scratch daily. ‼‼Holy Frijoles‼‼ it was definitely another praiseworthy food experience! Come Back Tacos... can I get an Amen?

I appreciate the hustle behind Comeback Tacos, but be prepared for a long wait as this is a one man…read moreoperation. Ordering is done through a tablet, which means simple customizations aren't an option. My friend wanted a cheese quesadilla, but the system forced us to order it with meat at the same price point, which was disappointing. The food took at least 30 minutes to come out, and when it did, my chicken tacos were overly salty and drenched in liquid/grease, making the flour tortilla soggy. My taco meal came with chips and salsa but the salsa appeared to be premade from a jar like Tostitos Chunky Salsa. While I'm glad I gave it a try and respect the effort, the inability to modify orders and the extended wait time make it hard to justify a return visit, especially if you're on lunchtime and have a time constraint.
