    To find a swanky fabulous place like this in a small town was a delight ! The decor is tasteful and fun w/ a twist of mountain glam ! The staff are great and welcoming. Drinks are the best. !!! I look forward to going there always !!!

    Bar 21 was on my list of places to see, when I recently spent a weekend in Georgia Blue Ridge mountains. When you walk through Bar 21 doors, it feels out of place, in comparison to all the other shops, bars, breweries and restaurants lining the main street in Copperhill, Tennessee. The entrance is located on a side street so don't be discouraged if your GPS directs you the Mexican restaurant on the main street. It's well worth the extra steps to make your way around the corner to witness for yourself this beautifully designed throwback to the days of speakeasies. From the moody blue colored coffered ceiling to the extravagant and elegant oversized rope chandeliers, you might feel underdressed and out of your league walking into this upscale joint but fear not, the vibe is good, and the atmosphere is casual. The drinks were on point and the bar staff and patrons were friendly and chatty. The bartender revealed a few magical bar tricks but I'll leave that for you to experience when you visit. This place is everything you would have never expected to see in a small mountain town but you'll be glad you found it. It has a full bar and they serve everything from beers to select old fashions. There was also a list of select bar snacks but I was too enamored by the flair and décor of the place I forgot to snap a pic. There's a private lounge off the main floor and two gender neutral toiles that simple bear the label of "WC" water closets. That's very euro of you Bar 21. The graffiti painted walls and neon signs paying homage to Marilyn Monroe will not be ignored when nature hits and it's your turn to walk the catwalk to the nearest "WC". The toilet was exceptionally clean and I'll describe the décor as simple elegance. I don't usually snap pictures of toilets but this one is damn near a work of art. I will definitely visit this bar again on my next escape from the city. Don't sleep on Copperhill, Tennessee but get there before the sun goes down because just about everything closes really early.

    It is like a dream! Walking out of Copperhill into a magical bar in Paris when you walk into Bar 21! The craft cocktails, charcuterie, beautiful selections of beer and wines will please any palate! Stop in, let the amazing staff create a wonderful Ukrainian Mule for you and enjoy! Cheers to a place like this finally opening around here!

    Lots of great small touches. I'm a sucker for fresh flowers!

    Chattanooga's own entry to the whiskey industry, and it is an absolute gem! While distillery tours…read morecan now be arranged, go to their tasting room on Market Street, across from the original Choo Choo station ( I like saying Choo Choo). There's a wonderful bar and plenty of expertise to take you through a tasting process. So much fun and you learn while you're at it. Don't have time for a tasting, take a look at all the unique whiskey offerings, it is nothing short of spectacular the options that are available to you. This is an incredibly creative distillery and the staff on the scene has the talent to help you make the best selection for your palate, such wonderful service!

    When it started raining in Chattanooga, my humans found the perfect backup plan…read more While dogs aren't allowed on the distillery tour itself, they are welcome in the tasting room and bar area, which meant I could still join the adventure. The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and cozy, with plenty of seating for humans to settle in and enjoy a whiskey flight. The staff immediately made me feel welcome and even brought over a water bowl without being asked. As a professional lounge dog, I appreciated the hospitality. My humans enjoyed sampling several whiskeys while I worked hard supervising the tasting process from my blanket-covered seat at the bar. The tasting room has a comfortable, laid-back feel that makes it easy to spend an hour or two escaping the weather. The unexpected highlight? The gift shop sells a plush dog toy of one of their whiskey bottles. Naturally, my humans bought one for me, and it quickly became one of my favorite toys. If you're traveling with a dog and looking for a dog-friendly indoor activity in Chattanooga, this is an easy recommendation. Dogba's verdict: Great whiskey for the humans, water service for the dogs, and a souvenir toy worthy of bringing home.

    Food was typical/good. Service was slow & discombobulated…read more It happens. But I take real issue with their pet "friendly" claim. Maybe "pet tolerant", but not "friendly": - hostess was visibly & audibly afraid of dogs. We have two sweet chocolate labs, not exactly menacing creatures. Why in the world would you send a dog-fearing employee to get us seated? - we expected an offer of a water bowl for our pups. Nope. Had to find a server and ask for one. - the outdoor area we sat at is enclosed & gated. A door separates this outdoor area from the inside dining room. In spite of this, 10 minutes after being seated, a separate employee came out and simply said "do yall have leashes?" 1- of course we do, you saw us walk them in. 2- no greeting or "hey, I'm blah blah"... cold & impersonal. 3- why bother with the cost of a gated enclosure if pets have to be leashed anyway? We've been to many pet-friendly restaurants. You are NOT pet-friendly. You happily took our money for the meal, and added a 20% gratuity yourselves (which was not earned btw), but you barely did enough to accommodate our pups, let alone be considered "friendly". We didn't feel they were welcome, and certainly no "friendly" environment experienced. We won't be back. See how Calhouns defines "pet friendly". Y'all might learn something. To diners with pups: You want "pet friendly"? Skip this place.

    For all of you sweet alcohol drinkers out there: Old Forge Distillery's got you. This is the place…read moreto get the hard stuff that also tastes like an oatmeal cookie or watermelon taffy or a pumpkin roll. When you want to get drunk, but you also need your drink to look electric blue and taste like raspberry, you come here. I'm not the biggest fan of sweet drinks in general, and especially not sweet alcohol. But I wasn't about to pass up an opportunity to taste some of Old Forge Distillery's moonshine and gin. They also make vodka, whiskey and rum. The gin was good! It doesn't taste like traditional gin, because they age it in bourbon barrels, so it has a little bit of a caramel taste to it. (In my opinion.) The moonshine and the cream liqueurs are where you will find the crazy flavors. I think my favorite was the coffee moonshine, which tastes like a wonderfully spiked black coffee. Samples are plentiful. The bartender told us which ones were crowd favorites, and also recommended some that I would not have picked myself. They also have a huge gift shop with lots of tchotchkes, plus bottles of their goods to take home with you.

Really cute concept. My biggest issue, the service. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but the bartenders were rude. So rude 2 couples in my party didn't even end up ordering a drink. 3 stars because I'm giving the benefit of the doubt, but it definitely put a damper on my groups experience!

At first, servers were scarce, but as I got up to go to the bar, the bartender must've seen me and was on his way. He took our initial drink order. At $14 per glass of wine, we just went for the bottle at $54 and a charcuterie board at $27. We are on vacation, so why not. The view is excellent. The weather cooperated. People watching from on high was fun, and the nature scenery was nice. Service was a little slow, but not an imposition, however, if it gets much busier, that could be a thing. We later learned they previously had a $10 cover, but we did not get asked for this and it must be a thing of the past, or I understand it is waived for guests of the Edwin Hotel (the bar's affiliated with the Edwin) but we had dinner reservations at Whitebird, the affiliated restaurant. The charcuterie was good with cheeses, cured meats, jams, crackers, etc. all in all, the star is the Al fresco seating and the River, and of course the company of my beautiful wife! So, go for outdoor seating and bring your own beau!

They also have a tour of the old power station that now houses the Dam Whiskey distillery. The tasting costs $5 if you take the tour which costs $32 pp. We did the tasting first and you get minuscule amounts of their wares that is just barely enough to taste although the whiskeys were quite good. The tour on the other hand is definitely something to be avoided. There is no active distilling taking place and the old power station houses barrels of distillate being aged. The tour guide pointed out where there generators were located in the past and a flooded area where new generators were placed in the past. The structure is filthy, dusty and now houses remnants of their Haunted House tour (around Halloween.) This place is an OSHA nightmare with water puddles to walk through and rather dangerous staircases and debris on the floors. It would have been nice if a minimal effort might have been made to show what the power station might have looked like in its heyday. We were glad to escape unscathed except for the cost. Avoid this if you can.

Tasting was just $10 for two bourbons, a maple flavored bourbon, vodka, moonshine and two flavored moonshines.

She said she didn't know and then took a big hit off a vape pen in front of us.
