“Absolute Best in Chattanooga: A Must Try!
This upscale bar checks all the boxes: beautiful decor and bar area, subdued lighting that provides an intimate feel, and the most comfortable bar seating in town. Added to this, the Happy Hour prices are beyond amazing with gourmet-quality food and drinks being served by knowledgeable and friendly servers. Do yourself a favor and try this place.“

“Details in this place are fantastic!

I am an English major and LOVE old bookstores and books and the vibes this place is putting off.

It's like a speakeasy used bookstore. Loved the eclectic decor and the booths, tables, and little nooks to sit and enjoy your drinks and read. All books were $8 and then some were priced on sale at $3. They had a massive amount of books floor to ceiling and I found some I've been wanting to read for a while.

A few people were wandering around doing the scavenger hunt they have up on the bar so that was cute.

They had some cute merch for sale like totes, reading lights, and mugs.“

“Absolutely, great place the wings are on point falling off the bone, the bartenders and waitres are great😊“

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

“once is never enough...calls you back....something for everyone. Staff is top level, high quality presentation & make you welcome....several friends have been delighted.“

“First time at Mean Jeen’s today! Oysters with the pineapple mignonette were *chefs kiss* Po’ boy was slammin. Boiled peanuts were worthy of the sketchiest gas station that has the highest yelp reviews in the state (if you don’t know, that’s the highest praise). The owner took care of me, she’s a queen. I most of all suggest the batched white tea shots. They come in cute little airplane bottles (green tea shots are also available). You won’t regret a single thing you have here, but the best part was the vibe. 12/10 stars. Do recommend.“

“BEST LIL Neighborhood bar in Chattanooga!!!! Love me some Mitches ❤️🎯🍺❤️“

“Took my parents to Boathouse for dinner while they were in town. They loved it! 10/10 recommend this restaurant. Definitely take advantage of the outdoor seating for some beautiful views!“

“We visited the area for the first time since this gem opened. We had such an enjoyable experience and meal at the chef’s counter Friday night that we sat there again for Sunday brunch. We really enjoyed the staff and how committed and excited they are to put really great food out of the kitchen. We will definitely come back when we visit the area!“

“Our office gathers once a month to experience a new Chattanooga venue and we loved Bless Yer Heart! The atmosphere is perfect for a retro spot, but the drinks were delicious and equally as creative. We see BYH as the ideal spot for a girls or guys outing…even for a romantic evening with your favorite person!“

“Fantastic view,food and beer!“

“A delightful little Restaurant that was not on my radar luckily, we were in the area and walked past. Very southern great fried okra with a twist fish and chips were great and for people who don’t love tartar sauce it was delicious with a little bit of lemon flavor. Highly recommended.“

“We stopped for martinis on a hot Saturday, loved the atmosphere and the music. I ordered “their take” on a dirty martini and was disappointed. Friends ordered an espresso martini, and loved it enough to order two more. Lesson learned: when a bar offers “their take” on a drink it probably means they ran out and are substituting another. Good, not great.“

“Great sandwiches! If you go at lunch, not too busy either.“

“Great food! Amazing service and staff!!“

“Enjoyed the wonton nachos and bloody marys for brunch. Delicious!!“

“Great food, beer selection and patio space with a killer view of Chattanooga!“

“I love 💕 this bar right here though“

“Our bartender Sarah was amazing! She was so knowledgeable about drinks. I told her a poor description of what I like and she was able to create it even better than imagined. Overall the ambiance is a great and it has disco balls and fun lighting. 10/10“

“Did a tour and tasting this weekend. Our guide, Ethan was amazing, fun and informative. Not a huge bourbon fan, so I was very happy that they included their Old Fashioned with the tasting. Trinity and Caleb were helpful at the bar, answering questions and serving. Would definitely recommend this if you are visiting Chattanooga.“

“This is by far the best bar I have ever been to in my life! The moment I walked in there I was treated like family. Tons of laughs and super friendly people. I believe they have the coldest beer in town also makes them go down super quick! Inside there's an awesome jukebox and then there's a beautiful porch out back where you can shoot darts. Nothing but positive vibes at this establishment and everybody comes to have fun and laugh. Betty the bartender is amazing and nurtures all her customers and always has a smile on! David the owner is cool too! He has some good stories! This is where I go to escape chaoticness in life. I highly recommend!“

“😁I loved the atmosphere and friendly staff here! Every floor you walked through had its all-clever design. The parking is a little confusing. I will definitely visit again!“

“Best burgers in Chattanooga!! The Greg Brady is my fav !! Ummm Mac and Cheese on a burger?!? YES PLEASE!! I was lucky enough to try the amazing crab Rangoon burger during Burger Week this year, SOOO GOOD😍 my absolute favorite thing about Jack Brown’s is that they sponsor a local nonprofit, Chattanooga Roller Derby!💙“

“The staff are great and so friendly. We so enjoyed our meal, food was great.“

“My first experience at this place was crazy good,I like the diversity of the crowd ,that's a + music was diverse which made my experience more fun“

“Love Docs! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere!“

“Our family of 6 ate there today and let me tell you it was the best experience we've had since starting to eat at Bad Daddy's! Emily was our waitress and she was super friendly, patient and knowledgeable about the menu! Thanks for the great service Emily!“

“Came here to spend some time on a hot summer day while visiting from out of town. Was pleasantly surprised upon arrival to find a well maintained facility. All bowling lanes opened and all arcade games worked. Where we come from this isn’t the case at our entertainment facilities. Ordered a flatbread pizza, it was just alright but made due for a quick snack.

Would come here again.“

“Beautiful view fun atmosphere great service“

“Kayla was the absolute BEST!“

“Great service, waiting time was shorter than expected“

“We had a wonderful dinner. They were able to accommodate a big group of us for a friends birthday and the staff was so kind and food came out quickly and was delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Fun place for a drink even during the day when we were there! Probably a hoot in the evening. Not too pricey and during the day on Tuesday the drafts were two for one (happy hour) and my rum and cokes were $3.50. We didn’t eat, but the food smelled good! If we come back to Chattanooga we would come back here.“

“If you come to I’m game PLEASE come see Cara. She is fantastic!!! So friendly so down to earth and so honest. Absolutely incredible. I’d never been here before, it’s my first time in Tennessee and she was just the best! And such an awesome game room to play in. Pool, darts, arcade games, smoking, non smoking. They literally have it all!“

“My son and I stopped in for his early bday dinner, with it being the day after Christmas I fully expected disgruntled staff. That was not at all the case. We were promptly seated and in the 4 minutes it took for me to visit the ladies room to wash my hands our server Bryan was apologizing for the wait!!! Like sir, what wait? He was incredibly helpful as this was our first visit. He offered in depth explanations of the menu options including letting us know about some of the special imported ingredients from Italy that make this not your typical pizzeria experience. They serve authentic Neapolitan Style pizza. We had the Italian Stallion and the Spicy Bianca. Both were superb. The food came quickly and was everything Bryan said it would be. I also tried one of the several beers they have on tap. The "hello darlin" was a perfect pairing to the pizza. We live in Huntsville AL and will DEFINITELY be making the trip back. Thank you to Community Pie and Bryan for helping me give my soldier an epic birthday dinner.“

“great night of darts. food is excellent!“

“Small, cozy venue. Food and service were great.“

“They deserve more than 5 stars. They always treat us like family when we come for dinner. The owner always immediately brings our kids rice and beans as soon as we walk through the door. Excellent service and truly care about their customers. We love it here!“

“I absolutely loved my time at Dave and Busters tonight ( May 20th). Jaz was an AMAZING hostess, server, entertainer whatever y’all call it ?. She was on top of it whenever she saw my friends and I needed drinks!! I would say this has been my most amazing experience here due to hear. Y’all better give her a shoutout cause she reall be deserving it ???.“

“very relaxed atmosphere and everyone was Kool the bartender was very helpful and sweet definitely recommend this place over others❤️“

“Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent bartenders, large drink menu, creative cocktails. We had the charcuterie board and it was fantastic! Will definitely be back soon!“
