    Wow. I know people gave bad reviews for service which made me hesitant to come here but I am so glad I did. There is actually a statement at the top of the menu that asks for patience because all their food is made to order. We order the fried mushrooms and green beans for appetizers and they were delicious and fresh! My husband wanted ahi tuna and let me tell you... it isn't easy in Tennessee! But this place had it. He ordered an ahi tuna sandwich and I had the steak, both seared. The seasoning was simple and the taste was amazing!! I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and home town feel. The food was definitely worth the wait. Don't let slow service be mistaken for bad service. We enjoyed a delicious meal at a casual pace. Don't miss out on this local small business.

    Best food in Athens. Their ribeye, tuna and salmon are all spot on and they have an actual bar! Blair and Oneyang (owners) are great. C

    Very nice place with tons of options to pick from for whatever your appetite may be craving. Salmon was to die for!

    The worse service I have ever had. My food was cooked wrong and returned wrong. Took 30 min to get my wine. I would be embarrassed !!!

    You can find Hoptown Beer Bar at 9431 Bradmore Ln Ste 101, Ooltewah, TN 37363. This is in a newish…read moreretail village and while not technically Chattanooga, it's close enough that it may be worthwhile to visit if you're nearby. There's plenty of parking nearby so you don't have to walk far. This neat beer bar reminds me of the crowler shops that you used to find around Atlanta, with around 30 taps containing about a thrid local beer, so you can sample several local breweries without visiting each one (they're mostly not too near each other so this is very convenient). The taproom "beertender" seemed to be fairly knowledgeable regarding the various offerings - there's also a convenient list highlighting the different beers with style notes. We sat at the bar and were able to bring in some food from the nearby restaurants (I grabbed some wings at the nearby Marthie Ann's which were excellent). To drink I tried Hoptown's own Orange Mango Wheat - a somewhat basic wheat beer with hings of sweet tangerine and mango - nothing special. I had a Maine Brewing "Lunch" with the wings which is always a winner - it's an exceptional New England IPA. Service was great - I can see myself hitting Ooltewah just to come by for a break in driving.

This is a fun spot…read morewith a friendly vibe but folks seemed to know that I wanted to peck away at my computer and left me to my own device. Great beers. I had the "Beer Flavored Beer" that was absolutely excellent and followed that up with the "Crisp AF Pilsner" that was also very good. Tasty and exactly what a beer is supposed to taste like. The do have a wifi, a power outlet or two and a big stack of board games. And lots of beer, wine and cocktails. [Review 18172 overall - 301 in Tennessee - 1694 of 2022.]

It was a little chilly, but not quite "Ohio" chilly so we sat ourselves outside with a couple of hazy IPA aka Juice Bombs from Sloop Brewery. This brew pub is sandwiched between brick buildings: Stacks, a burger pub, on the right and another commercial building on the left. Across the street is the Police, so be warned, and don't get too funky. We asked if they had food and said no but it was ok to get some take out and eat it at their table or order from Stacks (what we did) and they bring it to your table from next door. Even better. Stacks' mushroom burger and stack cheese burger were very good too. We washed those down with another set of local IPAs called Southeast by Tailgate Brewery in Nashville, TN, also very good. Some of the tables have heating lamps which would have been nice as it got chillier. Not ours. But no sweat. This place does occasionally make their own beer as well but it's primarily a brew pub which sells other beer and canned beer from all over. I'm glad we had a chance to come. Now for the drive home. Thankfully we are less than 2 hours away. Atlanta here we come!
