we are on vacation here in chattanooga and decided to check out Oddstory since we love breweries, i…read morealso came across it on instagram when looking for places to try in the area. they had a nice selection of draft and craft beers. my bf loved the cloud walker. i was disappointed they didn't have any ciders on tap, i've been to many breweries and taprooms that have cider on tap. this is the only reason for 4 stars as i would expect more options on tap across the board. they had some specialty cocktail selections as well. we absolutely loved the food we ordered. i wanted to try the elote fries i saw on the instagram post and they look just as good in person and taste as good as they look. i don't think the type of frozen fries they are would be as good by themselves but with all the elote topping they were the bomb dot com. i also got the taquitos and they were perfectly spicy and creamy and delicious. perfect amount of sauce drizzled on top to get some in every bite. i would eat here again and again just to try everything else. i love the idea of fusion street food. they got it going on. i noticed some reviews here about the ordering style. there is a window outside to order food and pick it up. however, you CAN order food at the bar inside. we asked and did order food at the bar same time as ordering drinks. but you do pick it up outside. they came and bussed the tables frequently to remove drinks and trash. there is so much space and were so many options for seating which is great. it's way too hot outside this week to enjoy sitting outside unfortunately and while they had some fans going, not enough during this extreme heat watch happening right now. i had my two children with me and would've enjoyed sitting outside in the family/kid area on another day with nice weather. as a mom, my only suggestion for the family area is less tables and more space for children to run and play. they only offered some chalk to scribble on the sidewalk. ((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:)

The place has lots of seating indoors and out, but got pretty crowded on Saturday night. The beer is pretty good and there are a lot on tap. I thought it could have been colder. Besides my beer, I had the Grown Up Fried Cheese - extremely tasty. Stringy mozzarella cheese sticks combined with hot pepper relish, capicolla in a crispy shell. Served with marinara sauce. A little spice, but not too much. I recommend. They also have merch for purchase.

We parked and before even going inside we went out front to take some the sun started to set too much. The mirror is done by a professional artist known for her beautiful wing designs. On the patio that we walked past to get to the inside was a live band playing, and there were a ton of cute dogs all over with their owners enjoying the music. It was the cutest sight. Inside there are 2 sections of the brewery, but they had the front closed so we couldn't use the back smaller part. I liked the small part to be honest with you. It wasn't super small, but it was much more quaint looking. Service was super friendly, offering us a samples of anything that we would like to try, but of course, we ultimately got a flight. Luckily for me , they also had the Lions game on so I was able to see the end of the game and our victory. They do have food on their menus, and I can definitely see us returning it to this location when we're in Chattanooga again.

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!

Their selection of canned cider is limited and not that exciting, and their mixed drinks always taste weird.

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. If you're a beer drinker, this is the place for you. If you aren't, skip it.

Walking in , you could see a long bar that you could sit at or just order food at in a designated area and seat yourself around the place. We chose to set up the bar, of course. It kind of ended up being a bad idea because people had no idea about personal boundaries and being in other people's face while they're enjoying their beers and they are standing around ordering food and reaching over you. Ben and I even switch seats, because he is worried about his personal space then I am. Most of the food that was on the menu was barbecue driven but since I had just had poke, I was not hungry. The servers were very friendly when we were ordering and checked in on us often I just wish that they would have kept the line in a more orderly fashion since there was a designated area for ordering specifically.

First an apology, when I get a carry-out order, I never offer pics, it just isn't fair to the…read moreestablishment. So sorry about that folks. So, as I was told by the staff, the restaurant portion has been spun off and sold from the brewery itself, so this is my first visit for food, since that has transpired. It is now known as "BUDS & BREWS CHATTANOOGA", part of a larger group out of Nashville, I was told. The bar/brewery looks the same, there is the same helpful staff, but in all honesty, the food just isn't as good. The pulled pork, was okay at best, the fried onion rings, just too greasy, and the chicken wings, just too dry. When first opened NR was the first microbrewery to prepare and offer their own food, and the bbq was stellar, but I cannot make that same statement today. Brews are still good, but if need a good microbrewery in Chattanooga that can offer you good food to go along with that cold one, my recommendation is either Oddstory or Five Wits. I'll continue to come to NR for a beer, as their Moonpie Stout is absolutely one of the best beers you can find in Chattanooga, but like I said if I am hungry too, this will no longer be one of my primary spots to consider.

It just looks more like a bar rather than a place that would serve high quality fresh meals. Everything was clean and the service was great.

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!
