45 Best Beer Bars near Madison

“Absolutely delish! Took a special trip on our motorcycle on a Sunday afternoon to enjoy a couple of slices. People are right. Their red sauce is something special, and I’m glad we ordered a variety of slices so we could taste the dill pickle pizza with white sauce, the Sicilian with the most flavorful red sauce, and a hot honey pizza which I think is served with focaccia as the base. We will definitely go back, and even though we aren’t gluten free, we have friends that are and know they’ll appreciate the gluten free pizza options! Can’t wait to order a whole pie!

We ate outside on the covered patio but there was still plenty of room inside. They have lots of seating along the walls inside (bar stool style) but not a bunch of inside tables that would be good for groups. The super clean restrooms were a bonus.“

“The Authentique is a charming French wine bar nestled in the heart of East Nashville, where the warm hospitality of owners Philippine and Alexandre sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The cozy atmosphere, combined with top-tier customer service, creates a welcoming environment for guests. The menu features a delightful array of sweet and savory crêpes, prepared with recipes passed down through generations, alongside a delectable steak tartare and carefully curated charcuterie boards. The wine selection is impressive, with the option of fun wine flights to complement the exquisite flavors of the dishes. The restaurant also offers great happy hour deals and nightly specials, with the added bonus of live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The overall experience at The Authentique is a true gem not to be missed. Bon appétit!“

“Love this place! Awesome vinyl selection, beautiful atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed playing live here as well. Highly recommend.“

“It’s been a number of years since we frequented Kayne Prime due to a move out of state. Last night’s experience was excellent. We were celebrating my husband’s retirement and each staff member we encountered asked about it, congratulated him and took care to make it notable. You also upped your game with the cute goat cheese tarts and palette cleanser. Last night was truly an experience above the excellent meal you are known for. We are blessed to have dined in many high end restaurants and last night you especially rose to the top. Must shout out our server Matthew. He is so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Thank you for going above and beyond. It was a night and meal to remember!“

“I remember skateboarding across the street while they were building this place and thought it was going to be so lame. Turned out to be one of my favorite places in Nashville! The $9 burger is awesome, and at that price the value is unbeatable. I come here often and get the burger, fries, and chips and dip. Bartenders are awesome people and I love seeing all my friends here when I go. The big pickle has to be a joke lol. Anyways, great place!“

“I have an amazing experience at Cheba Hut! Jenna is absolutely fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made the event so enjoyable. The food is always incredible too; everything is fresh, flavorful, and served just right. From the first bite to the last, it is clear that they really care about quality and customer experience. Jenna and the team truly made this a five-star place—I can’t wait to come back every week. 😍“

“Had a blast and Adam was amazing!!! From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Adam kept our drinks full, offered great recommendations, and had such a positive attitude that made the whole experience even better. It’s clear he takes pride in providing excellent service, and it definitely didn’t go unnoticed. Great service like this is hard to find, and we can’t wait to come back. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“Love the Sandbar! Great vibe, employees are amazing and welcoming and drink's are made just right! Always love going here when I'm in town.“

“What a fun place!! Off the beaten track but worth the journey. Welcoming and engaging staff. The staff seems to authentically enjoy working together so it brings a really great vibe to the place. Solid beer selection, the Kolsch and the Celwric grounds were our favorite. Convenient parking“

“From the Chicago area, friendly and helpful staff, DELICIOUS IPAS (crisp and hoppy) and walked in to them playing the Spongebob movie downstairs. Played Mario Kart on the switch with a beer in hand 5“

“Had lunch there on 2/9/25, one of the best hamburgers I've ever had!!“

“We really loved Southern Grist when we first found it. Great craft beers and a great food menu, but as of late, the food menu disappoints. Anyone can do burgers and beers. Bring back the chicken sandwich, bao buns and vinegar potatoes. Your menu made you unique now you’re just like everyone else.“

“So very tasty!! The pork sandwich was delicious, the blackberry mint limeade was amazing and the gluten free chocolate chip cookie was perfect!“

“Great little shop with good food and drink and a wonderful music venue.“

“First time visiting and loved it. The space is awesome and there’s even a stage set up outside the taproom for bands to play. Ended up ordering the pepperoni and hot honey pizza with their simple salad. The pizza was thin crust super cheesy! Delicious!“

“Will was an exceptional bartender; I lowkey spent more time talking to him than most of the people in my group.

We was very knowledgeable on all the beers, and he was very accommodating when my large party asked if we could change the channel to the FIFA game.

For me, Will was the bar. He is excellent, kind, and very patient too! I’m here on a vacation, but I can’t imagine coming here and him not be there.“

“Awesome place, full of character“

“Solid spot. I wish I could drink here more because that means I can eat a pulled pork sandwich too. Always nice to get out of nash and enjoy some unpretentious- actually-good-af-bbq. I don't even eat bbq in town anymore because it's a joke. lovell's all the damn way“

“first time here and the gentlemen was so nice . I asked for a French 75 , he stated he was out of the wine to make it but went out of his way to get it . That’s what I’m talking about . Hope to visit again when I have more time .“

“Best BREAKFAST. 😮‍💨 mandatory stop before work.“

“This is our first stop when we come back to town. We were regulars before moving and everything from the drink selection (alcoholic and non alcoholic) and food offerings are not only absolutely delicious but great portions. As someone who also has to avoid gluten there are options as well which is wonderful! Hands down recommend.“

“We had an amazing time at Nobles. We had wings, southwest eggrolls and a few drinks. The service was PRISTINE. The new waitress and bartender KAYLEE was incredible. So sweet and so fast. She was also making all of our drinks. We had an amazing time celebrating our anniversary. We will be back next time we visit Nashville. The wings were some of the best.“

“Good food and Great Beer. Oh and the stall is good as well. I can see me going back many more times.“

“Amazing! We need one in Cookeville!“

“Always a Highlight at BNA - Tennessee Brew Works

Every time I travel through Nashville, I make it a point to stop by Tennessee Brew Works-and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with super comfy bar stool seating that makes it easy to settle in whether you're grabbing a quick pint or hanging out for a bit.

The staff here are top-notch, and I have to give a special shoutout to Alex, who is an absolute gem of a bartender. Friendly, attentive, and always on point-Alex makes the experience even better.

This place has become a go-to for me several times a year, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend for anyone passing through!“

“Best Burger I’ve eaten in a very long time!! The Burger was so good our table ordered some chicken wings to try & those were killer too! 5 ⭐️“

“Incredible service from Connor!
If you’re staying at the hotel, you absolutely have to stop by the bar and see Connor. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel completely welcome with awesome recommendations and a killer attitude. He’s incredibly attentive, fast, and knows exactly how to craft a great drink. Honestly, his hospitality alone made our stay in Nashville that much better. Cheers, Connor!“

“10/10 would drive to Nashville for this. I was in town visiting the bestie. We ended up here on a lark after she said "let's go here, I know this place." Funny servers, exceptional, exceptional food. OMG the special sauce. It was so good I got a burger and fries to go for later in the evening. Highly recommend the burger with Sriracha onions, bacon and blue cheese and the one with Guinness mushrooms and bacon. Both the regular and sweet potato fries are YUM! Did I mention that special sauce? Go here. Just do it. Now. Why are you still here? Delicious burgers are waiting. Get.“

“As a day one Preds season ticket holder, Broadway Brewhouse has been my pregame meal spot for as long as I can remember ... decades. Very convenient and great selection of beers. However, tonight I was hit with the terrible news that the meal I order every visit, Pasta de Louisiane, has been axed from the menu. Now you've become just another bar and grill with nothing special on the menu 😞 Plastic cups, paper plates ... the Brewhouse just isn't the same. I'm sure I'll pop in periodically; but heading downtown early for my favorite meal before the Preds hit the ice is now a thing of the past. I realize that things change; but change sucks.“

“Great experience. Great food and amazing staff.“

“The best jumbo chicken wings! Great atmosphere and a big Thank you to Julie for my new favorite drink! We will definitely be back 😊“

“Taylor at the BNA terminal C was very humorous and fast serving folks. a bright point of the day! thank you.“

“Great day hanging out and service was awesome“

“Amazing friggen beer at the airport! I got the tall boy Sue and my wife got the Saison de Bois. Both were unique and amazing. The service was fast and efficient, we only had 8 minutes to boarding and were able to get our drinks and polish them off without having to pour them in the trash.“

“Loved this place! The live music was amazing and had such a fun vibe. The tacos were so good, and the nachos were delicious and definitely big enough to share.

Jennifer made our visit even better! She was so friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. She even brought us an extra plate for the nachos before we realized we’d actually need one, such a thoughtful touch that really stood out. It’s those little things that make a difference and she made us feel so well taken care of.

If you’re looking for great food, awesome live music and excellent service, this is definitely a spot worth visiting.“

“We have gone to the Bavarian Bierhaus since it opened. We always end up going for a birthday or holiday celebration. Our grandsons love the place on live music nights. It reminds us of the times when we lived in Germany.“

“Had an amazing time! Food on the 3rd floor was fantastic and the staff were great. Will definitely go back again.“

“It was Fourth of July weekend. It was very busy and packed, but the lines were moving well. Make sure you dress correctly as a man which means a belt or at least no drawstrings. Other than that, the three stories were great each one not a different but amazing vibe. The rooftop with the DJ & rooftop club set up was legendary!
