We visited here with a small group doing a brew and distillery tour. The FB folks accommodated us by opening early. We were provided with a flight of their most popular brews. Our bartender/guide provided a comprehensive explanation of each tasting. Our Favs were their amber, dry-hopped IPA (serious hoppy), and a west coast IPA (typical citrus flavors). We were also provided with generous samples of additional brews. My favorite was their stout. It drank more like a brown ale than a typical stout. The brewery is very spacious and there is a patio if you prefer quaffing in the wild. There are food options, check out the other reviews. If you are staying downtown it's an inexpensive ride-share to this neighborhood pub. Pro tip: Right up the street is the Pennington distillery. Great folks producing top-shelf bourbon, rye, and vodka. read more

Fat Bottom Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Fat Bottom helped us host our son's rehearsal dinner and welcome party. Emily, the planner and Beth and Nick (our on site hosts) were amazing. They were so accommodating. Emily was so helpful in the planning and was super organized. The food was excellent, the room was beautiful. Great outdoor space and area for all guests, even kiddos! It was a wonderful event. HIGHLY recommend! read more

The food was really good and they have a really big outside area! Didn't like the frozen drinks but all the beer I tried was good!

Wonderful atmosphere and amazing choices of food and beer. Will be back next time I visit and recommend to anyone in the area. read more

You can find Fat Bottom Brewing at 800 44th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37209 in The Nations. This is a largish taproom with an open patio and event space to the right - I manage to park along the right side and crash whatever event was happening as I made my way over to the brewery. As already mentioned, this is a large brewery with a big taproom - it was also very noisy. We went in and managed to snag a table and I took a look at the beer menu. Unfortunately pretty much all the beer I wanted to try was crossed off the list (three of 18 gone). We had already eaten so I ended up buying one beer and we left. Service was slow to deliver - we were at a table instead of at the bar as is my usual modus operandi. The beer: Wallflower Spring Saison 4/5 - Fairly competent saison with low bitterness, a hint of spice and a brilliant hue. I am a sucker for prickly pear! The place at the time had an odd vibe to it - just not very welcoming - not quite sure why. In any case we were in-and-out in 30 minutes. read more

Overall: A must go in Nashville! Excellent food, perfectly crafted drinks, and good service! Food: The absolute best shrimp tacos and sangria I have ever had. My dining partner noted that this was his new favorite restaurant of all time. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I am not a fan of French fries, but after trying them here- I'm hooked! We are new to the area and will definitely be back. Service: For a Friday night in Nashville, we were shocked to have no wait! Our server was great. We felt "left hanging" at times but, again, this was a Friday night in Nashville and we sat upstairs on the deck. No problem for us! EDIT: I first tried this place on Friday. I could only keep myself away until Sunday before going back! Same order with the addition of the chocolate chip egg rolls. I was initially going for the brownie sundae, but it was unavailable; I was very skeptical at first, BUT 10/10!!! So surprising! The filling is like cookie dough. read more

Our beertender on 9/22 was incredible, friendly, and quick! In addition to how awesome she was, the beer was great, the atmosphere was fun and inviting, and the food was delicious! I recommend Fat Bottom Brewing to everyone! read more

When trying to decide where we should end our first night in Nashville, we made the decision to go to Fat Bottom Brewing over other locations because well, the name cracked us up. Yes, sometimes it is that simple. When we got there, we were also greeted by hilarious beer names. Perfect! As we were there at the very end of the night, we pretty much had the place to ourselves and were able to chat with the beertenders about the place which we love. Unfortunately, during our visit they were out of stickers that I like to collect at the different breweries we go to but after our visit as a anniversary gift I decided to order Ben a t-shirt from Fat Bottom and the customer service was so wonderful that I was able to make a special request for a sticker to be sent along with the shirt. It was actually overlooked at first, but they reached out to me directly to advise of the oversight and let me know they mailed them out separately. That is what amazing customer service is all about! On our flight we got 2 Hop Shakur West Coast IPA, Granddad's Pajamas Nitro, Its Pronounced Gose and Acme - Rooster Brew. read more

I will start by saying the pretzel and beer cheese - like everyone else says - is delicious. The cheese is something I would want to bottle and spread on every dish - which I tried to do. Warm pretzels with a mustard sauce and a side of cheese sauce. I would order this again and again. For dinner - my husband got the Chipotle Chicken wrap - which he thought was just okay. I got the Italian Beef - which I thought was a little dry. I didn't get it dipped completely but I thought a little au jus on the side would have been nice. But I used the cheese sauce for the latter half the next day and it was better. We tried two of their mixed drinks - but thought both were a little watered down - so would stick to beer / wine next time. It has an excellent outdoor and is extremely family / dog friendly that on a warm day, I would go back. read more

Went there for breakfast at their airport location. Had a very "regular" breakfast-scrambled eggs, potatoes, and chorizo. All was delicious, and got the appropriate amount of attention for service. The airport was very empty, so no problem getting attention from the wait staff. I'll go there again if I fly out of those gates. read more

The service literally stunk at this brewery. When we arrived, a staff member came up and pointed to the QR code on the table. When asked about certain beers and food offerings, we were told to simply download a QR code and read the menu on your phone ! Essentially, you would order off the QR code and there were food / drink runners. The staff member that came to our table, didn't smile at all, and looked completely miserable. The bartender, too presented standoffish and cold, unlike what a bartender should be. When our food did arrive, we even had to ask for silverware. It seemed like even asking for silverware was a chore. The beer wasn't memorable and nor would I ever buy from this brewery again. If you really are going for some good beer, food and friendly staff, bring up Tailgate brewery, follow the GPS and head that direction. You won't be disappointed. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Came in for a quick stop as I was leaving town. Picked up lunch and a cold beer. I ordered the Summer Tropical Blonde. Refreshing. Great flavors. Loved it. I had the BLT for lunch. You can never go wrong with a good BLT. The customer service was friendly and courteous. Really pleasant during my stop. Only recommendation get stickers for the brewery. I like to collect stickers for every brewery I visit, they did not have any when I visited. Overall, good location and look forward to heading back. read more

The food is good and the staff is nice, and I love having something close to the house like this, but the owners refuse to be considerate of the neighbors and consistently have extremely loud live events that we can hear down the street inside our home. After multiple visits from metro PD, repeated noise complaints to the city and meetings/requests to find a solution from the brewery, they simply continue to have events that are very disruptive and ignore the multitude of neighbors who have been bothered and filed noise ordinance complaints. As a professional audio engineer and musician, I'm the last person to misrepresent sound decibel levels and have issues with music and outdoor speakers and events. But this is a wildly unreasonable degree of volume and is extremely disruptive in our home and the homes of every single person within several hundred feet in any direction. For a brewery/restaurant to choose to operate in a neighborhood with families, and then decide to act as a live event venue - is outright disrespectful to the people who bought homes here and want to enjoy their afternoons and nights without feeling bass and hearing speakers clearly inside their walls. They are simply not being good stewards of families in the neighborhood regarding their presence and sheer volume on the patio and in the event space. Until this issue is resolved or made to be more respectful of the area they chose to plant their business, I simply cannot support them. read more

Yes to Fat Bottom Brewing! From their beer, to their outside space, to their kind staff, you all are doing it right! We popped in here on a Saturday night and got seated right away. We would have sat outside because the space was so welcoming but it was actually chilly and rainy on the day we visited so we grabbed a high top inside. The day we stopped in, there was actually a wedding upstairs (I think- correct me) but we saw people all dressed up with cards heading upstairs. Anyway- that's pretty cool if they do weddings and special events because the atmosphere was a lot of fun. I have to say their ordering system was seamless. Using the QR code on the table, we were able to order everything right there online and they brought it out so quickly to our table. I ordered a flight of beer and my husband grabbed a few beers. Our favorite was Ida- the golden ale. It was crisp and light and overall had a great taste. We got the corn to start which came with an aioli and crumbled feta on top. Okay, this aioli I ended up dunking my tots in because it was that good. It was creamy and just loaded with flavor. We also ordered the Fat Bottom burgers which came with the tots and another incredible sauce. Omgggg. The burger was cooked perfectly, the tots were also cooked just right, and the sauce on the side elevated it. Their apparel/shopping section was full of some goodies. From t-shirts to koozies and more, there was a bunch to choose from and it was well stocked. We took home a fun tin sign and a few shirts. Overall, the service here is great, everyone we encountered was professional and welcoming, and you can't go wrong with the food & drinks. Can't wait to come back when we're in the area again! read more

Beer was great, the atmosphere was so fun! They have a great patio area and the staff is so friendly!

This is a fun brewery with a nice atmosphere. My wife and I came here back in July for the Nashville burger week and we enjoyed our meal. The burgers were cooked well and the tots were a good compliment to the meal. The flight we got was just okay, but the barrel-aged beers I've had previously were better. We only came here the one time, but it's worth a stop if you're in the area and are looking for a place to eat with fresh beer on tap. read more

Went for the smashburger and fries last week. Great food and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. Would be great if they could switch to a 21 and up restaurant format and add a PA system on the 2nd floor to do live music with local artists at least 1 night a week! read more

Had a great Sunday brunch here! We enjoyed all the food options (the bacon was excellent, as was my made to order omelet and the salad station). Prices were reasonable and the service was excellent! Everyone was very accommodating of our group (and our children). I was a little unclear what beverages were included in the buffet pricing so maybe the menu should reflect that for clarity. Otherwise it was a wonderful experience and we will be back! read more

Good beer with plenty of places to hang out. I didn't try the food, but the Ruby is is cold and smooth. read more

I originally came here during the weekend when The Mac Shack made their debut as part of FBB. For my original trip, I got the Memphis Mac, which had Memphis style bbq pork and coke slaw with their Brussels sprouts app. My second trip, I got the pesto mac which of course had pesto, sun dried tomatoes, and goat cheese. Both were VERY good options! As for my drinks, I went with a Southside cocktail made with gin, mint, lime, and bitters as well as their IDA Golden Ale. VERY good Mac and cheese and well worth the price!! A great place to hang out with friends on the weekends and perfect as a cheat meal read more

One of my favorite breweries. Great selection of beer and the food is tasty as well. Great outdoor and indoor space.

Nice atmosphere. The first table that we tried to sit at was super wobbly so we had to move to another one. Not a huge deal but can't imagine why that would not be fixed or replaced immediately. The beer was good. Everyone got a flight to start with. All of the beers were good. My favorite was the "Office Bad Boy" so I had a couple more of those. We shared the triple dip. It was fine. The salsa was a little less liquidy than I prefer but the guacamole and queso were pretty good. Later I ordered the chicken strip basket. The chicken was average and the tots were good. The best part was being able to order and pay from our phones at the table. Super easy way to order by scanning a QR code.Service was fast as a result. Overall, a pretty cool spot. read more

We were in town and decided to stop here on Yelp's recommendation and neither of us had ever been here before. It was well worth a stop, and we will be back. The atmosphere is chill with an outside patio that feels like you are in someone's backyard. It is a very comfortable place to sit for a while, chat with friends, and enjoy a good beer. The service was excellent. The waitresses working when we were there were all extremely friendly and eager to help. I am not much of a beer drinker, so I often have trouble finding something to drink at a brewery. However, my waitress recommended I try the Bravazzi hard Italian sodas. They are excellent! I had a peach, and I absolutely loved it. My beer loving boyfriend tried a few of their offerings,including the Sandy blonde ale, and said they were all really good. The food is good, but not great. The pretzels & beer cheese came highly recommended both on Yelp and by our server. So, we had to try them. They were well worth it and I definitely recommend those. My boyfriend got a burger which he said was "a good burger". I just got a side Cesar salad and side macaroni and cheese. The macaroni and cheese is excellent...it's made with their homemade beer cheese (which also comes with the pretzels and is yummy). I loved it and wish it came in a bigger size. I would eat that for an entire meal. the Caesar salad was just OK. We also got an order of the cookie dough eggrolls. They were good but not my favorite. The eggroll wrapper was a little thick. I wish that they had used a thinner wrapper. The filling was excellent, though. Overall, we had an excellent time, and will definitely be back when we're in town again! read more

We have been to Fat Bottom Brewing a few times in the past and always had a good experience. Knowing that they had a full food menu, we stopped in specifically to eat (and grab a beer). We sat at the bar and had great service from our bartender. I ordered the Tempest Burger and the BF ordered the Pulled Pork sandwich. My burger was delicious - a little sweet from the caramelized onion and the jam. I can only guess that the BF enjoyed the Pulled Pork sandwich because it was gone by the time I had even cut into my burger. I snuck some of his fries and they were delicious. Perfectly crispy, just the right amount of salt and piping hot. Yum. We do wish that Fat Bottom would change up their beer offerings more often. There were not any new beers since the last time we had stopped in (a few months back). I like that if you are not a beer drinker, there are plenty of other alcoholic drink options to try as well. Highly recommend Fat Bottom! read more

Fun bar/restaurant lots of good food and the service was great. Plenty of stuff to keep yourself occupied if you drink outside.

Very kid friendly patio area. Our kids (aged 11/9/9/7) played giant jenga and bags while we sat at a nearby picnic table. I ordered the nashville hot chicken sandwich, and it was amazing. I enjoyed their Hazel Hazy IPA as well. Would highly recommend! read more

Not dog friendly other than outside. Given an attitude at the front door when they saw our dog. No service in the outdoor area so we were given a hard time when one person had to go in and order two beers. Had to show two IDs and the bartender was not that friendly. If you have a dog, know all this before you drive across town as a tourist to a supposed dog friendly place. read more

We love the food, beer and always have a great time! The staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone has fun

A real brewpub! Great atmosphere, great people, and we had a great time. Reminded us of the brewpub scene in Portland, OR.
