What a gem. Hutton and Smith, whose motto is "gneiss beer for people who give a schist," represents "old" Chattanooga -- a small, homey brewery with somewhat left-field, hit-or-miss lagers, ales, IPAs, etc. H&S is a community brewery where dogs and humans commingle and talk: there are no television screens in the bar area, and if you sit down, you'll be treated like an old friend.

The initial entrance is a bit cramped, but if you walk past the bar, then there's a nice, open room with tables and couches to sit at. Indoor and outdoor areas are dog friendly, gender neutral bathrooms, full pours and half pours are available, and a self pour water tap is out. Alright selection of beers, but they do rotate by season. I recommend the vanilla nitro stout! Reason for 4 stars is the service was just okay.

Spent the day in Chattanooga with some friends and had a wonderful time enjoying the local food, entertainment, etc. A highlight of the day was Hutton & Smith Brewing where we stayed for a couple of hours enjoying many of their beers. I have to say that my favorites of the day were their stouts. The Vanilla Stout was good but the Doppelbock they had on tap was by far my favorite. I even ended up bringing some home with me in a growler.

We've really been digging on Hutton & Smith's beers since we moved back to Chatt - I always buy their IPA's from Sigler's, right next to where I work. So, we finally decided to check out their taproom a few nights ago! Super small, dark space around the main bar - they've got a few small tables and the regular barstools. There was a couple hanging out in there with their doggo, which made me really happy, lol. We walked up to the counter and ordered a couple of flights - bartender was super friendly! To the left hand side of the main, dark room, there's a doorway that leads to a larger, better lit space, with several tables, some couches, a few game tables, and their whiskey barrels for their aged beers. We liked this room a lot more, they had some groovy art on the walls and people were chilling, playing cards and whatnot. Brews were fabulous, all around - they have a really good selection of IPA's, sours, and a few stouts/porters to round out the options. That BA Belgian dark stout will put you on your rear, so be careful with that one, haha. Overall, great experience and really cool to get to try some of their beers that aren't widely distributed in Chattanooga stores!

We stopped in on our last day in Chattanooga and while we were impressed with almost every beer we tried (we each had a flight) we just didn't feel very welcome. The female bartender was polite and kind but just not warm and welcoming. The gentleman behind the counter never even made eye contact with us. Coming from FL where we have tons of small craft breweries we were just a tad less than impressed with the warmth of the place. Def a locals hang out and maybe they want to keep it that way.

Stopped by here while we were out celebrating my 30th birthday on a rainy Sunday. I love how quaint the space is. Exposed brick and two small rooms. Large bar with seating. Luckily it wasn't busy when we showed up. I can't imagine how this place might look on a Friday or Saturday. The bartender was so kind! Truly a large part of the great experience. I was very impressed with the number of beers they had on tap and the number of styles. I always enjoy getting flights. I really was floored with the prices. $3.50 for a 5 ounce?! Wow. My flight cost me over $13 and that's for just over a pint of beer. Yes, I did have some higher gravity styles on the flight, but I still feel as if this is too pricey. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with the beers. Maybe it all had to do with the bad taste the prices put in my mouth. I will go back when I return to Chattanooga. The staff was great and I love the space. Congrats on the recent medal!

These guys are doing things. The space is not the greatest, but man the beer is the best in Chattanooga IMO. Service excellent as well.

Ask the Community - Hutton & Smith Brewing

I have heard rumors that kids are not allowed in breweries in Chattanooga. Is this true? Making a trip with my one-year old and I really hate to miss out on beer just because I have him with me.

I'm also interested in knowing the "kid friendly" breweries. Do remember which breweries were not "kid friendly"?

((back home we have a brewery, called 3rd Planet, with a kid area that is sectioned off with a fence and netting for kids to run around, throw balls, and truly play and have fun while the adults enjoy a minute to relax and unwind.)) we got lucky and it happened to be bingo night! that was such a fun time with my family. it was a packed house i'm guessing because of bingo night. the swag shop has plenty of options and i got a pint glass for only $7 to remember this great vacation in chattanooga:)

Service As soon as we made it downstairs, the bartender let us know it was last call for the kitchen in 2 minutes. We quickly glanced through the menu and ordered the Verde Chicken Tacos, Bulgogi Philly, and fries. Though the kitchen was about to close, they still took the time to ensure all the food was cooked to perfection and came out piping hot. Bartenders were friendly and very patient. Food I was surprised to see Bulgogi beef in a bar, but I was pleasantly surprised at how great it tasted. Had a mild spice but a good depth of flavor as it was presented as a Philly cheesesteak, which made sense in this type of setting. From the melted Swiss cheese to the crunch of the bell peppers, the sautéed onions, and the tender beef, you can't go wrong with this option! The Verde Chicken Tacos had plenty of fresh toppings that added to a well put together taco. On the Spicy Piña Margarita, it was not as well balanced as I'm used to, so I would try a different cocktail when I go back. Ambiance We were already greeted by some patrons leaving, and they wished us a good time as we walked into the establishment. The vibe was chill and relaxed. Spiral staircase to go up, one to go down to the basement, and an outdoor seating area that allowed dogs make this a place where everyone feels welcome.

This latest trip, we got a ramen and it wasn't our favorite - spiciness that wasn't noted on the menu was really the only flavor. But the crab Rangoon were great, as was the beer selection! The vibe is killer, with tons of local flavor in stickers and ads all over the walls and ceilings. The staff is super friendly and willing to help you find a drink you'll enjoy. We played some board games the last time we were there and it just really added to the laid back nature.

Everyone is super friendly and love on my pup when I bring her in. Sit outside when the weather is nice, otherwise head on indoors to keep warm/cool/dry. We ended up at Pax Breu Ruim twice in one weekend a couple years back and didn't regret it for a second. I loved the draft espresso martini and winter sangria they had and the Paloma tasted like it should - like a fresh Paloma cocktail. We stopped in on a Tuesday night last month, which happened to be 20% off draft cocktails night. I tried the Talisman, which is the N.A. draft cocktail but added gin on the bartender's recommendation for $5 more. After the 20% discount, tip and the "liquor by the drink tax" (is that a Tennessee thing?) two drinks ended up being $15 each. Not bad at all, but I can't imagine how much it would have been without the discount... Even so, the cocktails were super interesting, not just basic options, so I was definitely intrigued and always excited to see what they come up with next. Definitely my go-to dog friendly spot to grab drinks and BYOFood that isn't just a brewery!

The bar itself is pretty cool, offering darts and boardgames, along with various seating options, including a small outside area. They allow dogs, which is nice because I can bring mine to trivia.

Everything about this experience was top-notch! From being seated quickly upon entering, to explaining how the ticket validation thing worked (more info at the end), customer service was some of the best I've been shown. The ambiance is chic but casual-great for both cozy date night or fun family night. Our server was so friendly and patient as we asked questions about the menu. I ordered the grilled salmon with spicy crab remoulade and my guy ordered the smoked wings with a side of fries. I was happy that I was able to select my own sides from the ones on the menu so I opted for the fried Brussels sprouts with maple and bacon and the buttermilk whipped potatoes. After a short wait, our food was brought out. This was truly one of the best salmon dishes I have ever eaten! The salmon was cooked to my liking, the potatoes were soft and fluffy and the fried Brussels sprouts were absolutely divine and perfect. The remoulade was a little salty but it may have been just been my taste. The potatoes helped with that so it was not a deal breaker. My guy was pleased with his food as well and I could tell he enjoyed everything he ate. We agreed that we would take this trip back just to eat this meal again. It was truly a wonderful experience, from beginning to end. I highly recommend trying this gem out! Pro Tip: The restaurant validates parking. If you park in the lot across the street, do not prepay on the app or online. Ask the servers at the front to validate to save the $18 parking fee before you order and within 15 minutes after entering. Unfortunately, we didn't do this and the restaurant cannot reimburse the money after you've already paid. You've been warned!
