The patio has a big disco ball and stools. There is a projector that plays movies on the big white wall across from the patio. BMX bandits, one of Nicole Kidmans first movies was playing when we were there. There is a full bar and plenty of canned options such as long drink. We had Tito's and sodas for $8!

We weren't disappointed. Exile Off Main Street is undoubtedly a great spot if you enjoy local craft beer, a lovely outdoor patio area, with down-home vibes, no pretense, and you can come as you are. From our Airbnb (above the Fountainhead Taproom), we walked all of a block to Exile Off Main Street. With COVID-19 forcing only outdoor seating, we had our pick of the litter with patio and wooden tables with patio furniture to chill with brews. The gentleman behind the window was very nice and quickly took our order on various cans of beer and cider we enjoyed. We sat there at our table for a couple of hours, enjoying the music coming from the outside speakers. A few people were seated scattered amongst the spacious patio as we enjoyed the beers. I enjoyed cans of The Promenade American IPA by Hutton & Smith Brewing and Keypunch Sour Gose by Urban Artifact. Both were solid beers perfect for the summer temperatures and energy on this particular July evening. Exile Off Main Street is highly recommended for those who like good craft beer and vibes if you're not looking to hang off of Market Street in downtown Chattanooga.

5 stars all around…read more We came at 5pm on a Sunday (it wasn't packed at all) with our pups. The valet/greeter helped us get a server and we were met at the back patio and immediately seated. The patio is awesome because it has fake grass and the pups loved it. We initially came for a cocktail because I've been wanting to try out this new space that they created in place of the restaurant that used to be here. However, once he saw the new menu and how very reasonably priced the items were, we had to try it out. I ordered the barefoot in the grass cocktail. It was quite tasty and refreshing. Not too much flavor even though the ingredients make it sound like you'd get a bitter chocolate sweet taste. I loved all of the cocktails on the menu and will have to come back to try others. We decided to order the duck egg rolls - and they were Egg-cellent - The food was served at a great temperature and although it was a little tough to eat in egg roll form (duck doesn't always break apart like chicken or pork) it was amazing. I loved the special sauce it came with. It is hard to comment on the service because we were one of about 10 customers in the entire area, but we felt like we were at home and never had to worry about water for ourselves or for our dogs. Just some facts that you need to know, this café was built in place of the restaurant, and all of the spaces in the Dwell hotel now have the same menu - they serve breakfast lunch and dinner items all day! See new photos of the menus! I feel like I will be visiting this place a few times because I was able to get a great appetizer and drink for $20 - but hopefully this review is helpful! :)

The service was excellent, and the food was a-okay (but not the highlight). My mom and I wanted to get dinner before services at the synagogue and a show at Memorial Auditorium, and we wanted to try some place new! My mom is vegan, but Solarium's menu looked modern and like a few things could be changed to be vegan if not vegan already. I sent them a Facebook message, and they confirmed - easy peasy to make some items vegan. We parked on the street outside the Dwell Hotel (where Solarium is located), and there was free parking for one hour - all we needed. When we walked inside, I was immediately struck by the decor. Both the bar to the left (Matilda Midnight) and Solarium to the right of the lobby are beautiful. We were eating really early and were told we could pick any table. One waiter arrived. We immediately told him that my mom was vegan and asked which dishes could be veganized. He said the salads. That didn't sound right to me given what I had been told on Facebook Messenger, and our waiter disappeared. A waitress showed up (she had taken over our table, I guess), and I asked again what could be made vegan. She gave us a list of dishes - not just salads - that could be made vegan. I ordered a glass of Malbec and then we ordered four dishes (all veganized) to try. We ordered the Veggie Primavera (zucchini ribbons, tomato, capers, oregano, and pinenuts - they took out the dairy that is usually in the dish); crusted cauliflower (shiitake dust, orzotto, sundried tomatoes, and peas - they took out the dairy that is usually in the dish); Mediterranean flatbread (hummus, olives, diced tomatoes, and feta on the side); and the cashew kale dip (crudites, root veggie chips, and lavash). They were all pretty good without being anything to write home about, but nothing was bad. I hesitate to complain about food that we requested modifications on, as it's hard to say whether a dish is well conceived or well cooked if you have them modify from how they typically serve it. But I will say that there wasn't anything I didn't like, and it was better than a lot of vegan options I've had. I would definitely go back to Solarium for appetizers and drinks before a show. It's a beautiful place to hang out and enjoy a nice glass of wine or one of their beautiful, interesting-sounding cocktails. I'd like to go again - and I want to try out the bar (Matilda Midnight) as well. Very enjoyable time here!

This is an incredibly creative distillery and the staff on the scene has the talent to help you make the best selection for your palate, such wonderful service!

The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and cozy, with plenty of seating for humans to settle in and enjoy a whiskey flight. The staff immediately made me feel welcome and even brought over a water bowl without being asked. As a professional lounge dog, I appreciated the hospitality. My humans enjoyed sampling several whiskeys while I worked hard supervising the tasting process from my blanket-covered seat at the bar. The tasting room has a comfortable, laid-back feel that makes it easy to spend an hour or two escaping the weather. The unexpected highlight? The gift shop sells a plush dog toy of one of their whiskey bottles. Naturally, my humans bought one for me, and it quickly became one of my favorite toys. If you're traveling with a dog and looking for a dog-friendly indoor activity in Chattanooga, this is an easy recommendation. Dogba's verdict: Great whiskey for the humans, water service for the dogs, and a souvenir toy worthy of bringing home.
