11 Best Beer Bars in Chattanooga

“Really one of the best in Chattanooga. Not only is the food phenomenal, the staff is really what sets it apart from the rest. Everyone we encountered could not be nicer and more attentive. It is now in my regular rotation.“

“Stopped in at oddstory when headed back to Mississippi and we were well taken care of by Nick! Large selection of great beers to try and the food was amazing. Nick made our experience awesome and we will certainly be back the next time we are in the area!“

“Fun hip place with nice staff and great cocktail menu!“

“Pax is our go-to hangout bar. Josh is a wonderful bartender. The beer selection is varied and high-quality. My husband samples the IPAs.

I’m into the mocktails, particularly the Angelina. I get two in my mug because we are members of the mug club.

Everyone at Pax is super friendly and welcoming. People do clothing swaps there.

A fun evening is hanging out at Pax and picking up a pizza at Southside and eating it at Pax.“

“Love this place but why have they lost their liquor license?“

“My visit to the Overboard Bar and Grille in Chattanooga was an absolute joy, and I owe it all to Faith and Shelly, who made the experience feel like a warm hug! Faith was a ray of sunshine, always there with a kind word or a hilarious joke that had everyone around her laughing—she’s the kind of person who makes you feel instantly at ease. Her attentiveness was unmatched, checking in on me and every guest with such genuine care, ensuring we all had exactly what we needed. Shelly, behind the bar, was a true rockstar, mixing up fantastic drinks with a smile and keeping the energy high with her quick wit and charm. She was so sharp, juggling orders for the whole crowd without missing a beat, and her cocktails from the daily specials were a total steal—delicious and creative! Together, they turned a casual stop at this riverside gem into something truly special. The Overboard Bar and Grille is a hidden treasure in Chattanooga, with its stunning views of the Tennessee River and a laid-back vibe that’s perfect for unwinding. Faith and Shelly’s warmth and hustle make this place a must-visit—don’t skip the specials, and make sure to say hi to them when you go!“
