    Great wine, wonderful atmosphere, awesome service. My husband and I sat in here for hours with wine and a cheese board because we didn't want to leave. The vinyl records were great to sit and listen to. Truly a hidden gem in Chattanooga

    Cool place!!!!

    What a TRUE FIND this place is!! Pouring rain before a concert at Soldiers & Sailors, we were running by to find a place for a snack ... looked in the windows.... J Mac's ... we went right in!!! THIS is the coolest place! 5***** Ambiance! The bar has record albums and a turntable... Love it!! The music is great!! Eclectic little private seating areas with sofas and chairs. The owner is awesome. Lovely wine collection and charcuterie boards filled with goodies to please everyone.

    Window seat + a lovely glass of Lambrusco

    The perfect nook downtown to relax with a glass of wine. Great bartender and great service! This is a go-to spot if you're looking to peacefully unwind, have a chill night out with others, or even enjoy a book.

    Stopped in for a glass of wine after dinner. Was pleasantly surprised to find fresh truffles from Downtown Dough, which were perfectly paired with a nice Spanish wine. They both were quite a hit! We loved the non-pretentious feel of JMac's. So many times, while traveling we encounter wine snobbery, but not here. The workers are extremely knowledgeable in wine and can direct you to something to please your palette. Looking forward to returning and trying a cheese and charcuterie board.

    Great ambiance

    This bar is a great find! The wine selection is eclectic and delicious. We did not try anything that we didn't like and found some new favorites. The bartender is very knowledgeable and friendly; he was able to recommend choices for flights and tell us a bit about each wine. By the end of the night he knew enough about our taste preferences to make some spot on recommendations for glasses. The atmosphere is fantastic. There is a lot of space to spread out and socially distance while spending time with friends. There are many couches and comfortable chairs and the outdoor patio is very inviting. We will absolutely be back next time we are in Chattanooga.

    WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO BRING SOME VINYL AND CHILL-OUT TO SOME GREAT CLASSICS!

    If you're in Chattanooga this is definitely a must visit "wine destination spot". JMAC has a well thought out, non-commercial, fairly priced and extensive per pour wine list. Their charcuterie plate selections are amazing to pair-up with these wines. This was a nice surprise to find! Most wine bars seem to be carbon copies of each-other with run-of-the-mill big name producers, typical varitals, "going through motions" wait staff and the ever tired Spotify "cafe jazz" live-streams....NOT HERE! Atop the extensive wine list, the staff are engaging, well versed with these wines and are there to help educate you in the process. Its a fun open environment where you can actually learn about wines while you drink them, kinda like a free wine class with every glass poured. Too the decor is really fun! The bar is full of functional Mid Century Modern pieces which give it that cool, edgy retro "Rat Pack" vibe with all sorts of classic Sinatra, Big Band, Blues music in the background along with an old school turntable and vinyl thats played. So Its like you stepped back in time here. The vibe here is great! Not too "sceny" all different age groups with both locals and visitors. IN SUM Whether you're a local or visiting, this isn't just a wine bar its a destination place.

    The ambiance was amazing and the owner had amazing recommendations! Would definitely come back here often and would also like to try their other nights!

    Just a great place to hang out

    Our date night perfect spot. Walking in the door the weeks stress drops away. Everything about this place makes me happy. We really enjoy the chefs choice charcuterie platter. The music, the location, the vibe and the people are all just spot on. The wine list is excellent, the cheese selections are awesome and I heard tonight they are adding oysters to the menu next week. An intimate yet very social experience that feels like a snapshot from the past. Every time we come here we meet wonderful people. Cannot recommend this spot any more highly. So glad JMacs exists in Chattanooga.

    This place is amazing! Definitely recommend stopping here for some glasses of wine and charcuterie. We went in and the staff were able to recommend wines to try which were all great. Definitely make it a stop - and they can recommend anything to do in the city!!

    On a recent trip to the area, we decided to stop here for lunch after reading the great Yelp…read morereviews. I must admit that the reviews were spot on. Everything about this experience was top-notch! From being seated quickly upon entering, to explaining how the ticket validation thing worked (more info at the end), customer service was some of the best I've been shown. The ambiance is chic but casual-great for both cozy date night or fun family night. Our server was so friendly and patient as we asked questions about the menu. I ordered the grilled salmon with spicy crab remoulade and my guy ordered the smoked wings with a side of fries. I was happy that I was able to select my own sides from the ones on the menu so I opted for the fried Brussels sprouts with maple and bacon and the buttermilk whipped potatoes. After a short wait, our food was brought out. This was truly one of the best salmon dishes I have ever eaten! The salmon was cooked to my liking, the potatoes were soft and fluffy and the fried Brussels sprouts were absolutely divine and perfect. The remoulade was a little salty but it may have been just been my taste. The potatoes helped with that so it was not a deal breaker. My guy was pleased with his food as well and I could tell he enjoyed everything he ate. We agreed that we would take this trip back just to eat this meal again. It was truly a wonderful experience, from beginning to end. I highly recommend trying this gem out! Pro Tip: The restaurant validates parking. If you park in the lot across the street, do not prepay on the app or online. Ask the servers at the front to validate to save the $18 parking fee before you order and within 15 minutes after entering. Unfortunately, we didn't do this and the restaurant cannot reimburse the money after you've already paid. You've been warned!

It's always nice when visiting from out of town when you can get a variety of local beers all in one place. The server was also so nice and talked with us about the area, which was thoughtful. The inside was huge! But we sat outside under their covered porch. They have TVs, but there weren't any fans. If it's hot, I'd opt for inside! Will def return again especially on their special nights during the week!

    Went there a number of years ago but could not remember tge place. My wife on the other hand knew…read moreexactly where it was and even where we sat. She could have told me anything and how would I know? Anyway, we were seated very quickly and our server was there before we knew it. He took our drink order and have us a few minutes to check out the menu. When he came back we asked if we could do half Demarco and half sausage and pepperoni. Said yes so that's what we got. Pizza came quick and it was prolly one of the best pizzas I've had in a long long time. Although I can't remember the last time I was there, but pretty sure it was good then too. I will say that there was one very serious problem and we could have handled it better. You see there were 4 of us with one being our 9 yr old grandson. Pizza had 8 slices, so we each had 2. Now tell me how fair is it that Grandpa only got 2 and the kid got 2. We should have ordered a 2nd pie. Great place, great food and great location downtown, so join the community and have a great slice!

After watching Sooooo many pizza reviews, we decided to try the Neapolitan style pizza. Thin crust and cooked in a wood fire oven. So.... First and foremost pizza was good. Being a Neapolitan style, I was expecting a bit more crunch with the slight char. The tomato sauce was very good. You could tell it was fresh crushed tomatoes and basil. Bartender and our waiter were awesome. Talked to us about the local brewery, the styles of pizza, etc. very friendly and cooperative with all the questions we had. We were both pleasantly surprised by this local downtown place. Good atmosphere and good food. A must try when downtown Chattanooga. They do offer Detroit style and New York style pizza as well. It all depends on the way YOU like your pizza cooked! VERY good pizza! I would probably give this pizza, on a pizza scale; an 8.2 which is pretty high. A little flop on the crust, but the crunch, char and the amazing tomato sauce, partnered with the atmosphere and friendly staff made it a must visit pizza place! We finished it off with the local made gelato. I had milk and honey and my wife had chocolate. Both were very flavorful and refreshing on this very hot day. Community Pizza is fitting as everyone either in or around this community should stop by and try this pizza! Thanks for a great afternoon experience!

We tried a few beers from Five Wits and per her recommendation got the creamsicle shake as well. Solid beverage choices. The shake tasted part float part milkshake and it was absolutely delicious. Would order again. The food on the other hand was a bit eh. We ordered the Asian q burger and the mushroom melt burger and it took quite a while for them to come out and when they did they had unfortunately been left on the grill for way too long and were charred and crunchy. One set of our fries was cold and the bun to burger ratio was extremely off. Luckily, the staff agreed that our burgers were accidentally overcooked and they remade them no questions asked. The remade burgers were moist and better but still not fantastic. They were just burgers with minimal toppings on them. Not really seasoned and the flavor came from the toppings themselves. The buns were still too big for the burgers so there was a lot of extra bread and they have potential to be great but they were just average. Would have probably been a three star review but the staff and drink selection really earned the extra star. Would go back to drink and maybe snack but probably not order a burger.
