Came here for trivia (Wed) and had a great time, especially because their smash burger is UNREAL. I was so happy they offered gluten free buns, and the cheese smothered all over the burger with crispy edges? So, so, so good. Friendly service, and looks like a lot of nice outdoor space when it's warmer. read more

The taproom was closed but the barrel room was open so we slid in for dinner during the snow storm of January 2026. Good food menu and beer list in an intimate room with a bar and stage for music. I appreciated that they offer a flight of up to 6 beers. All the beers were good and a good array of styles. My daughter loved the pretzel bites with queso and my wife and I enjoyed the bbq nachos. Thephilly cheesesteak egg rolls were ok. Good spot and I'd be happy to comeback again. read more

Love the beer here. Although they only pour their own brand there are plenty of options. Full bar for non beer drinkers and their packers watch parties during football season are amazing. The outdoor stage makes for great summer nights with live music. Very friendly staff. Great option if you're downtown. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Ghost River Brewing - Beer - Breweries Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

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! read more

What a great place! Tasty beer, friendly staff, nice menu, good music, and the beer is great. I recently moved out of Memphis, and miss this place terribly. They have a place on Beale St. too! read more

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. read more

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). read more

Ghost River Brewing - New food menu at South Main taproom as of 9/22 - Breweries Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

No matter which location you go to Beale St. or South Main St. Ghost River is a great place to hang out and have a great time. The owners are amazing and the staff is top notch, the moment I walk in I'm greeted with a friendly smile and a hug or handshake. Ghost River has many great aspects. They are a dog friendly establishment; they have a fantastic lineup of local bands. There are many beer selections and there's nothing like having a cold beer and listening to great live music. If you're a Green Bay Packers fan the South Main location is the place to be on game day. This is a Packers bar, and locals and visitors gather to cheer on their team. They also love to support the local teams Memphis Grizzlies and Memphis Redbirds AAA team. Ghost River is a must visit for anyone looking for a great place to hang out. The welcoming atmosphere, selection of beers, live music, sports viewing and being dog friendly makes it a standout spot in town. read more

Good vibes at this place. We went on a rather overcast day, but inside was nice and friendly. A decent assortment of craft brews inside along with friendly faces and board games. Outside was too cold on the day we went to enjoy, but seems like it would be awesome if the wind wasn't bad or on a nice day. They had a band when we were there that was excellent. Overall, a sweet hang. read more

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. read more

Do yourself a favor and stop by Ghost River Brewing. Nestled at the end of S Main St, this location is better than ever with a brand new taproom and outdoor area for yard games, with comfortable seating and a huge projector, which is perfect for football and basketball watch parties (Go Pack Go and Go Grizz). You will quickly fall in love. It has become our favorite neighborhood go-to spot. They offer great food, live music, and delicious craft beer. The staff and fellow 'regulars' have quickly become like family. I highly recommend checking them out. read more

Ghost River on Main is one of my favorite places to go in the Memphis area! From the many great beer options to their very personable staff, I've had nothing but great experiences. I especially love spending football Sundays there during the NFL season. Whether it's playing yard games outside or enjoying a meal in their taproom, there's always something to do. Jez always creates a great experience with her upbeat personality and great service! Bonus points because they're dog friendly!! read more

Ghost River Brewing - Flight of beers - Breweries Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

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. read more

Large outdoor area for seating and really delicious beer options. It's a brewery, not a restaurant, but there is a food truck and amazing local popcorn. There is beer with Rosemary, coffee, and the traditional reliable options of ales, ambers, etc. very conscientious about safety, very friendly and helpful. Worth checking out when you are in Memphis! read more

Thought we would give this place a try since we were in the area visiting family. Cute little brewery with great indoor & outdoor seating. The beer is good (although I'm not a beer drinker) the game selection is great! It was trivia night so it was fun to listen to all the questions and try to guess the answers. The one thing we wish they offered was snacks for purchase. There was a food truck when we got there but it left around 8 pm. Something to snack on when you're drinking is always a good thing. read more

I'm wondering if maybe we missed something when sampling the beers here. We were very excited when we first got here as all around town all the restaurants have Ghost River beer for sale. And while I wasn't overly impressed with their staple beers I wasn't thrilled with what I'd had. First I want to say that I think the atmosphere here is fantastic it's a well-built interesting bar with a great layout and a good look to it. They have board games available and they had live music finishing up when we arrived. Food is available to be purchased at a food truck in the parking lot upon entrance. Service was ok. Those things are why this is not a one-star review. I'm not sure if it's because I stuck with specialty "experimental" beers for my sample but the beer here was downright horrible. I wish I used Untapped so I could really keep track of the travesty that was my beer tasting experience. The cream ale had a sickly sweet flavor to it no balance aweful. One beer had this aweful mint flavor to it. Why?!? The beers had no restraint and no balance. Normally I'm fine with experimental interesting brews but there's a difference between say the experimental stuff Dogfish does and this. Balance is key to experimenting and the Brewers here really didn't achieve any kind of balance. "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should". Beer needs above all else to be drinkable and none of the beers I had were. I'm very surprised this brewery is so well regarded in Memphis. read more

This was a nice little pub. Great outdoor seating, a food truck in the back, and plenty of beers on tap. They were unfortunately out of shirts so I wasn't able to get one on our "get a brewery shirt vacation." I would say their beers are "safe." As in they are pretty middle of road. Not a lot of hops, or bitterness on either spectrum. A great brewery if you are just getting into drinking craft beers. Don't get me wrong they still have a great brew! In fact my favorite in Memphis, it's just all their beers are very mild in flavor. I highly recommend this place as if you've never had craft beer, or haven't been a fan of one in the past. This would also be a great after dinner beer. read more

Tried Ghost River Gold at central BBQ and it was so good! We wanted to try a local beer and this has very quickly become a new favorite! I tried to look it up online to see how we can get some and can't seem to figure it out! We want to order some for sure!!! read more

We loved this place. I liked each beer we tasted in the flight and continued to order from their taps at all of the other places we went to visit on our trip.

It is about time that Memphis got a good brewery going. I only wish I could have spent more time here before leaving the city. Owned and operated by the people that brought you Bosco's Squared, these guys don't mess around. You can find their beer all over the city now, and let me tell you, it's worth a try. There is a list on their website of locations where you can get it. I can only hope the brand continues to grow and I can eventually get it here in Boston. There are two things that really stand out when looking at Ghost River Brewing: 1. The quality of the water. The beer is brewed with Memphis' famous artisan well water. Memphis is fortunate to have some of the best quality water in the world, and this is reflected in the taste. They have also partnered with the Wolf River Conservancy to help preserve and protect the watershed. 2. The Beer Tours! Head on down to the brewery at 1 PM on Saturday's and visit with Mike, the brew master. Guaranteed good time here. You may want to email ahead to tell them you are coming because sometimes not too many people show up. I think it is still kind of a well kept secret. He will show you how the beer is made, as well as offer samples of several of their most popular brews. And trust me, you will leave feeling HAPPY. Especially if you buy a glass. Try it and find out! read more

Delicious Beer!! I had been drinking Ghost River around town because I heard they use local Memphis water in their beer & because it tastes awesome. They were not offering official brewery tours when I went in November, but the guy gave me a quick tour around their facility. They sell discounted six packs & growlers at the plant. I picked up a growler of their stout, which made my last day in Memphis quite pleasant. read more

We stopped here for a quick beer and, woe of woes!, the power went out! So the hubs was able to grab a 4 pack and a glass, and said that it looked very cool inside and the dude helping him with super nice. He loves the beer, by the way. Wish we could've stayed for the full experience! I believe they also have a little patio area, too! read more

Took a nice walk across the bridge from Tennessee to Arkansas and then Uber'ed back to Ghost River Brewing. What a treat! Every one of our samples was enjoyed by the entire group. We especially loved The Ghost River Gold - light and crisp with a lingering softness on the palate. The Midnight Magic was another favorite - bold and flavorful. Wish I would have bought a *Made to Wander tee while I was there - pretty special memory on cotton. Enjoy! read more

I decided to try this place because it is local and I live on the west coast. I like to indulge in local cuisine and brews when I travel. My initial reaction when I got out of my car was this place is nice, and it is in fact! It looks very modern, but at the same time it is a recognizable brewery. I walked inside and it was surprisingly dead for being 6pm in my opinion, but that didn't really phase me. I walked up and looked at the menu and the bartender turned me on to a special release ipa which I was all for. Something that struck me (I'm not used to this happening anywhere I've been) is the bartender poured himself a beer as well. I know where I'm from and have lived(Oregon and Idaho) that it's illegal to drink on the job. Also they have armed security roaming around which made me a bit uncomfortable. Now back to the ipa... it was really good. It had that hoppy floral flavor that I love and a nice color and aroma. I've had ipas as good or better than this one but I would definitely drink it again given the opportunity. There was also a food truck in the parking lot with a small menu of food that I decided to try, but I'll leave my review for that on their yelp site if they have one. This place is worth stopping by if you're in the area but I wouldn't drive out of my way to stop here again. So I looked for a yelp page for the food truck, couldn't find one so in short I would say save your money and have some food before you come here, or after. Although pretty cheap, the old saying you get what you pay for definitely applied here. read more
