This is in a newish…read moreretail village and while not technically Chattanooga, it's close enough that it may be worthwhile to visit if you're nearby. There's plenty of parking nearby so you don't have to walk far. This neat beer bar reminds me of the crowler shops that you used to find around Atlanta, with around 30 taps containing about a thrid local beer, so you can sample several local breweries without visiting each one (they're mostly not too near each other so this is very convenient). The taproom "beertender" seemed to be fairly knowledgeable regarding the various offerings - there's also a convenient list highlighting the different beers with style notes. We sat at the bar and were able to bring in some food from the nearby restaurants (I grabbed some wings at the nearby Marthie Ann's which were excellent). To drink I tried Hoptown's own Orange Mango Wheat - a somewhat basic wheat beer with hings of sweet tangerine and mango - nothing special. I had a Maine Brewing "Lunch" with the wings which is always a winner - it's an exceptional New England IPA. Service was great - I can see myself hitting Ooltewah just to come by for a break in driving.

I had the "Beer Flavored Beer" that was absolutely excellent and followed that up with the "Crisp AF Pilsner" that was also very good. Tasty and exactly what a beer is supposed to taste like. The do have a wifi, a power outlet or two and a big stack of board games. And lots of beer, wine and cocktails. [Review 18172 overall - 301 in Tennessee - 1694 of 2022.]

You climb the massive staircase to get to the restaurant. Not very handicap accessible. Not that…read moreI'm handicapped, just thinking of those who might be. Immediately you notice how not so air conditioned it is. It's the second floor, heat rises. It's science, but if you're wondering why the restaurant is empty. Anywho. Also upon walking in you notice how empty it is. 6pm on a Wednesday maybe folks have better things to do, but it is a bar, you'd think there'd be some regulars for happy hour. I was not greeted by a host and walked to a seat. So I found a seat and sat for 5 minutes before walking to the restroom. Went back to my seat, peered through the kitchen window at the server to get her attention. She was nice enough. Didn't get her name, but she wasn't snarky or anything. I ordered a grilled chicken dinner. With mac'n cheese and okra. She went in the kitchen. 2 minutes later, the cook comes out and says they didn't thaw out any chicken for grilled chicken. So I went with the breaded chicken. It wasn't really an option on the menu, it's for chicken sandwiches, but it ended up being pretty nice. The fried okra was even quite fresh tasting. The mac' n cheese was probably from yesterday, microwaved and sprinkled with shredded cheese. Not great. I probably won't be back. I'm a truck driver just passing through. Taking a nap at the truck stop next door. Tip for the owners... maybe advertise a CDL discount. Goodnight!

There was maybe three tables of folks in the whole place, we chose to sit at the bar. My fiancé got a beer that would never be refilled cause the bartender was too busy sitting outside on her phone, smoking cigarettes. It took 49 minutes to get our food and the appetizer came out with our meal. When my fiancé ask what the deal was with our food and why his beer was never refilled, he was told cause they're busy?! We looked around and wondered where all these imaginary customers were cause literally the place was empty. The food was not good, the place was nasty and the bartender was horrible!

We sure wish we would have known about it sooner because the food was excellent. Food and drinks are ordered at the bar. You are given a number on a stick and then grab a seat inside or outside. Both options are great. They are dog friendly too! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our food was brought to us in a timely manner. We had some flatbreads, chicken salad, wings and tots. All was fantastic. We definitely will return next year while on our annual camping trip to Townsend.

They have a great selection of craft beers, imports and both red and white wines, including champagne and prosecco for the celebration in your glass. The real draw to this place is the private patio that has the peaceful river running the length of the restaurant. They have some higher end entrees of filets, and also pizza salads, burgers, and wings and even food for the kiddos. If you make it through Cades Cove or finish up a nearby hike or river rafting in Townsend this is a nice relaxing finish to the day. Great space for catching up with friends for patio pints and looks to be pet friendly as well. So bring your dog and your fun out to enjoy the Abbey.

I've been here many times. I was here when it used to be the casual pint and I've been here a…read morecouple times when it's been the admiral pub. It was fairly busy when I visited, and there was a line to get beer, which isn't a problem. I happen to see a friend of mine waiting in line to get a beer. I walked over to speak with him. We hadn't seen each other in probably five or six years. Another guy cut in line right in front of him before he could get his beer. Then, when it was my friends turn, the bartender (Josh) was less than friendly. I realize that they're just pouring beer, but the gentleman was decidedly unfriendly, he did not smile even once; he did not even indicate that he was ready to take an order in anyway by acknowledging us with a look or anything. Heck, he didn't even speak to us. Honestly, he was just rude & beyond unfriendly. I don't get it. If you do not like your job, get a new one. If you don't like pouring beer for people (which does seem like a super great job), get a different job. The fact that he would be there on what appeared to be a fairly busy night, which is good for the business, and be so unpleasant is beyond my comprehension. So, the beer selection is very eclectic, with something for everyone. It's super great that you can buy beer to go. The female bartender was awesome. I'm conflicted on what sort of review that I should give Admiral pub, because there were so many positive aspects to it, except Josh pretty much ruined the entire experience by his sour demeanor (although I adore sour beers) and persistent scowl.

Pleasant local feel, a few regulars at the bar but one of the largest collection of beers, ales and ciders, both bottled and on tap. The bartender was a petite young woman, very friendly and knowledgeable about the products. It was my birthday and she offered me a complimentary slice of cheesecake. I declined but thought that was a nice offer. It is not real close to home so probably won't be our local, "Cheers" style of place. The patio looks amazing so will make a point to return in warmer weather.
