    WOW Wednesday = a flight of wine + a charcuterie board
    Claire M.

    A cozy spot w/ all of the wine you could ever need... My friends and I booked a reservation for their WOW Wednesday where you get a private tasting of 4 wines paired with a charcuterie board. It was the perfect setting for a chill, social evening. We talked w/ the bartender a bit and got to try some really good wine from around the world. They have live music and open mic nights, etc + they have a cute little patio out back. Very cozy atmosphere - I'll be back!

    Great wine, wonderful atmosphere, awesome service. My husband and I sat in here for hours with wine and a cheese board because we didn't want to leave. The vinyl records were great to sit and listen to. Truly a hidden gem in Chattanooga

    Cool place!!!!

    What a TRUE FIND this place is!! Pouring rain before a concert at Soldiers & Sailors, we were running by to find a place for a snack ... looked in the windows.... J Mac's ... we went right in!!! THIS is the coolest place! 5***** Ambiance! The bar has record albums and a turntable... Love it!! The music is great!! Eclectic little private seating areas with sofas and chairs. The owner is awesome. Lovely wine collection and charcuterie boards filled with goodies to please everyone.

    Window seat + a lovely glass of Lambrusco

    The perfect nook downtown to relax with a glass of wine. Great bartender and great service! This is a go-to spot if you're looking to peacefully unwind, have a chill night out with others, or even enjoy a book.

    Stopped in for a glass of wine after dinner. Was pleasantly surprised to find fresh truffles from Downtown Dough, which were perfectly paired with a nice Spanish wine. They both were quite a hit! We loved the non-pretentious feel of JMac's. So many times, while traveling we encounter wine snobbery, but not here. The workers are extremely knowledgeable in wine and can direct you to something to please your palette. Looking forward to returning and trying a cheese and charcuterie board.

    Great ambiance

    This bar is a great find! The wine selection is eclectic and delicious. We did not try anything that we didn't like and found some new favorites. The bartender is very knowledgeable and friendly; he was able to recommend choices for flights and tell us a bit about each wine. By the end of the night he knew enough about our taste preferences to make some spot on recommendations for glasses. The atmosphere is fantastic. There is a lot of space to spread out and socially distance while spending time with friends. There are many couches and comfortable chairs and the outdoor patio is very inviting. We will absolutely be back next time we are in Chattanooga.

    WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO BRING SOME VINYL AND CHILL-OUT TO SOME GREAT CLASSICS!

    If you're in Chattanooga this is definitely a must visit "wine destination spot". JMAC has a well thought out, non-commercial, fairly priced and extensive per pour wine list. Their charcuterie plate selections are amazing to pair-up with these wines. This was a nice surprise to find! Most wine bars seem to be carbon copies of each-other with run-of-the-mill big name producers, typical varitals, "going through motions" wait staff and the ever tired Spotify "cafe jazz" live-streams....NOT HERE! Atop the extensive wine list, the staff are engaging, well versed with these wines and are there to help educate you in the process. Its a fun open environment where you can actually learn about wines while you drink them, kinda like a free wine class with every glass poured. Too the decor is really fun! The bar is full of functional Mid Century Modern pieces which give it that cool, edgy retro "Rat Pack" vibe with all sorts of classic Sinatra, Big Band, Blues music in the background along with an old school turntable and vinyl thats played. So Its like you stepped back in time here. The vibe here is great! Not too "sceny" all different age groups with both locals and visitors. IN SUM Whether you're a local or visiting, this isn't just a wine bar its a destination place.

    The ambiance was amazing and the owner had amazing recommendations! Would definitely come back here often and would also like to try their other nights!

    Just a great place to hang out

    Our date night perfect spot. Walking in the door the weeks stress drops away. Everything about this place makes me happy. We really enjoy the chefs choice charcuterie platter. The music, the location, the vibe and the people are all just spot on. The wine list is excellent, the cheese selections are awesome and I heard tonight they are adding oysters to the menu next week. An intimate yet very social experience that feels like a snapshot from the past. Every time we come here we meet wonderful people. Cannot recommend this spot any more highly. So glad JMacs exists in Chattanooga.

    This place is amazing! Definitely recommend stopping here for some glasses of wine and charcuterie. We went in and the staff were able to recommend wines to try which were all great. Definitely make it a stop - and they can recommend anything to do in the city!!

    Can't recommend this cocktail bar enough!…read more We visited the bar late night while staying at the hotel and it did not disappoint. Despite clearly being short staffed and having a busy night - we were greeted almost immediately and encouraged to help ourselves to a seat. We sat at a table away from the bar (only one available) and a server came by to take our drink order. Before he could return, another employee - who was running food to another table - immediately came over to us after to see if we wanted to order food (which we did!). She took our order, then the drinks arrived and before we knew it the food was out and was incredible! The menu is quite limited - and even more so when you one of you doesn't eat meat - and yet we were able to make a meal out of 2 caesar salads, the hummus plate and the deviled eggs. And don't even get me started on the cocktails! We started with a Manhattan and an Espresso Martini that were perfectly crafted. And then for our dessert round switched to their signature Old Fashioned. Each one was better than the next! Thanks for an incredible time, Whiskey Thief. We will definitely we back!

    It wasn't busy at 4:30 on a Wednesday. We got a seat on the balcony overlooking the river, the art…read moremuseum and in the shade. Perfect. At first, servers were scarce, but as I got up to go to the bar, the bartender must've seen me and was on his way. He took our initial drink order. At $14 per glass of wine, we just went for the bottle at $54 and a charcuterie board at $27. We are on vacation, so why not. The view is excellent. The weather cooperated. People watching from on high was fun, and the nature scenery was nice. Service was a little slow, but not an imposition, however, if it gets much busier, that could be a thing. We later learned they previously had a $10 cover, but we did not get asked for this and it must be a thing of the past, or I understand it is waived for guests of the Edwin Hotel (the bar's affiliated with the Edwin) but we had dinner reservations at Whitebird, the affiliated restaurant. The charcuterie was good with cheeses, cured meats, jams, crackers, etc. all in all, the star is the Al fresco seating and the River, and of course the company of my beautiful wife! So, go for outdoor seating and bring your own beau!

    Great ambience, great cocktails, wonderful service. We were a large group last minute and had to…read moresplit tables but we got Joseph as a server and he was great. Considering we were 18 ppl he did a great job. We ordered oysters to share. I ordered the special bento box and my friends ordered the grouper, salad, hamburger egg rolls, serloin, filet and appetizer fish taco and many more. Food all came together and was very good. It was not cheap but we enjoyed the food and had a great time

    It's not quite a 3 star but didn't quite meet a 4 star either. Let's start with what's great here…read more A great oyster program with delicious oysters from a range of East Coast locations. Wonderful cocktail list with well balanced, well made cocktails. I loved my old fashioned and others enjoyed their drinks too. Very nice, attentive service from the servers although they brought out the oysters without telling us what was what and service was at times bumpy. The interior is nice, with it feeling casual but somewhere you could bring a date. And we enjoyed the lobster cakes which were well done, nice sauce, without overwhelming the sweetness of the lobster itself. So that was positive. Where it failed: the tuna bites on regular and not crispy rice was hard to eat. It was good but a little unruly. The halibut piccatta was VERY dry, almost bordering on inedible. Their special, which was a bento box was not great. The flavors didn't go together and their sushi eggroll had cream cheese which is very gross. Their steak frites was fine if not that memorable. All in all, I would come back for their drinks and their oysters but not sure I would come back for a full meal here.
