If there were such a thing as a 7-star review, Monkey Town Brewing Company in Dayton, TN would wear it like a badge of honor.

After 34 years of shared adventures, my wife and I thought we’d seen it all—until Monkey Town Brewing stunned us with a masterclass in hospitality, flavor, and thoughtful design. From the moment we walked in, the attention to detail in the décor whispered stories of Dayton’s rich heritage, blending rustic charm with a modern pulse that felt both familiar and fresh.

🍅 The Tomato Soup deserves its own standing ovation. My bride, not one to toss out superlatives lightly, declared it “the best she has ever had.” That’s not just praise—it’s legacy-level culinary achievement.

🍺 The “put It in Reverse” IPA was a revelation. Cleverly named and brilliantly brewed, it paired perfectly with the town’s historical backdrop—especially the nod to evolutionary theory, which felt like a poetic wink to Dayton’s Scopes Trial legacy. This isn’t just beer; it’s storytelling in a glass.

👑 And then there was Grace—our spectacular waitress. Informative, kind, and effortlessly engaging, she elevated the entire experience. Grace didn’t just serve us; she guided us through the menu like a seasoned curator of joy. Her warmth and knowledge deserve public recognition. If Monkey Town Brewing is the heart of Dayton, Grace is its soul.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place is more than a brewery—it’s a celebration of craft, community, and care. Monkey Town Brewing doesn’t just meet expectations“
