Food is good especially the smash burger ... went for an Eagles tribute band and really enjoyed the atmosphere of the patio area outside.. the drinks are great they carry great craft beer and bar cocktails

Bingo

For great beer, ambience, and newly released....food! They have opened an additional portion of the brewery for hanging out with family or simply friends. They have also added food to the menu, and service still remains awesome. Restrooms and space are well kept and clean. We went for Bingo night and Brew!

Beer
Krysten E.

The beers and service are amazing, just wish they had a couple of healthier food options. We got wings, roast beef "sliders" and the cheese fries. They were good, but not something I would really crave. The beer, on the other hand, is awesome. As far as the site, I love the vibe! They had the Olympics on everywhere, all the seating areas are open and inviting. The staff is very welcoming and they're even dog friendly!

Ghost River is our favorite brewery in Memphis! We love the staff, food, and brews. We go watch all Packers games and have the best time with the best atmosphere. Our pups favorite as well! Every menu item is phenomenal (I love the bbq chips but with fries instead of chips), beers are always great (I love the blushing Betty sour mixed with whatever seltzer is on tap), and the owners are family! This is where we take all family and friends when they are in town. 10/10 experience every single time!

Beer and coloring!

I'm in love with this place! Some great beers in tap. I had the raspberry sour and the out meal stout and both were 10/10. There's a big outdoor area with astroturf and fun yard games. They provide human patrons with coloring materials and dog customers are treated like royalty. Seriously. It was so great that my dog was allowed inside to get out of the heat but the gaff definitely spoiled her! I'm def making this a MUST STOP whenever I come through Memphis.

We walked the length of Beale to get the feel and ended up here first. Loved this spot. The service was great and we were led to some spectacular beer finds. The music was cool. The food from Sobie's was spectacular. I kind of hate to say that chili-cheese fries were the best food we ate the entire trip, but it's the truth. Our plan was to stop back by and finish up here but we found a great band and couldn't leave. Definitely make this a stop. I loved the outdoor area too (if it had been warmer).

New food menu at South Main taproom as of 9/22

South Main taproom has expanded their venue with a stage, additional outdoor TVs and an indoor kitchen and bar with seating. Attached is the new food menu

The beer and great and they have everything to pamper your pup!

Delicious beer, excellent service, and beyond dog friendly. Such a beautiful inside, nice furniture outside along with a lawn game section.

First experience at Ghost River, have not been to their Beale St location... even though I don't usually prefer busier or more crowded places, I'd probably try their Beale St location next time. Stopped by on a cold weekend day and thought it would be packed for football Sunday but found it was actually quite dead, kind of sad. They have good deals on merch, shirts fairly priced. A flight of 4 four oz beers for $8, not bad. Clean bathrooms, ok food truck outside. Love that they have a foosball table outside.

Today I came to get my usual food from the vegan table. Since my daughter had to use the restroom I was able to do a tasting. The place is really comfortable as you walk in the ambiance is relaxing. I enjoyed the personal chat with the bartender.

Flight of beers
Lorlie C.

Staff is friendly and helpful! Flight was affordable and soooo good! We came on a Saturday evening and it wasn't too busy we were served right away!

Ultimate Flight
Julie O.

A friend recommended that we check out Ghost River Brewing. We are glad they told us about it. We had flights so we can try multiple beers without overdoing it. Beers were good. I have simple taste when it comes to beer, I usually enjoy Pilsners and wheat beers. The cream ale was my favorite. It's a big place and Friday night was packed for a drawing game event. We didn't play but people were having lots of fun with it. Plenty of nearby parking and food trucks on weekends.

Great selection of beers, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Tried 4 styles of beers and all were outstanding! Nice taproom and good outside patio area. Go!

Beer and music was awesome. You don't necessarily go there for the food,  but with the Covid world as it is they did their best.

See all

This smash burger was killer ... thanks for the recommendation Brad ... drinks were also amazing …read more. the patio is awesome

I LOVE breweries so visiting this place on Beale was a no brainer…read more Like most breweries, they have a selection to choose from. The options are displayed on a large screen above the bar. I believe the place was empty when we took a seat at the bar but another party of 2 followed shortly behind and sat a little bit further down the bar. I tried something that sounded better than it tasted but ultimately this is a matter of personal preference and I have a high maintenance palate. The people next to us got wings, which looked good until they were dangerously close to a leak that had sprung from one of the exposed pipes above. They had to move to a table behind us and then some of the staff got a bucket to place on the bar to catch the dripping water but that made a very loud noise so then they put a towel inside of the bucket. I will admit that I have never experienced such a thing before. It looked like the pipe that was dripping had tape wrapped over that area so they had tried a "bandaid" fix in the past but it didn't work. Obviously, this does negatively impact the "ambiance" portion of the overall experience and getting the impression that this is an issue that could have been fully addressed previously but the decision was made not to. It wouldn't stop me from going back but it certainly isn't ideal.
