    I haven't tried the brews here but this is one of my favorite coffee shops in East Nashville. The cold brew and iced vanilla latte are top notch and I love how they serve it with a big whiskey ice cube. The vibes are amazing to get some work done, catch up with friends, business meetings, etc. It is such a well designed, aesthetically pleasing coffee shop with such chill vibes. Its like a elevated library with good music. Service can be inconsistent and they seem to take their time here so not the spot for a quick grab and go coffee drink. I can also recommend the breakfast burritos here- the chorizo is delicious. Definitely a favorite I rotate through so check it out if you are in the area!

    Amazing coffee and amazing staff. Been looking for a brew bar and came across this gem. My goal was to try different varieties of pour overs, and LWB did NOT disappoint. Gabby (Gabi?) was so helpful in helping me make a selection and was so knowledgeable. Always afraid that at "real" coffee shops, the staff will be snobs but that's not the case here. As for the coffee??? Superb! Like I said, a lot of different varieties, and the pour over menu rotates monthly. Atmosphere? Work environment friendly, with appropriate music. Not too loud, but enough noise to have a personal conversation without the person next to you hearing. Ample seating, clean restrooms, oh and it's next to a record store. Win-win. Based on customer service alone, I will go back, but I'm stoked to see what they have next month!

    Half brewery half cafe and done right. Cute spot out in the Nations that had tons of seating to hangout in. Staff was friendly and a damn good latte was made by the barista the day I was in.

    Ambiance 10/10 great place to settle in and get some work done with relaxing. Music was on, but not too loud. Plants everywhere and just all around calming. Service, meh. Maybe the guy was having an off day, but it seemed like I was a bit if a bother to make my coffee. $7 for a small ice vanilla latte with one large ice cube. I get the appeal and maybe I'll be back when I can sit longer and enjoy the space.

    Three coffee shops in and I have found the place. Thanks to my son, the finder of great places. Wide open, chill music, chill people, a great place for meet ups or just getting some work done, lots of spaces to sit, good cup of coffee. Bar tender is relaxed and helpful, unpretentious. They are here to serve two things: coffee and beer. A great keep it simple recipe. Ahhhhh. What a peaceful place - dark colors welcoming you to settle in. Couldn't recommend it higher. No political messages or virtue signaling served here: refreshing and peaceful. Thank you for giving the community some living waters.

    No flights allowed. You can only do 2, 5 oz pours per person. I waited in line for 30 minutes, got to the front and when I tried to order 4, 5oz pours I was asked who the other person was. I was confused. The server told me she could ring up all 4 though, and I could come back. "Wait, so, I would have to get back in line for 30 minutes to get the remaining two samples?" "Yes, I"m sorry" So if you want to try multiple beers here you have two options: - Buy full 16oz pours and get DUI-drunk (how silly is it that you can buy a 16oz pint but not 3, 5oz pours..which amount to LESS beer at 15 oz?) - Lie and say you are buying 5 oz pours for your friends Beer is very good, it's too bad the service is so aloof and pretentious. Not a fan of their logo either, looks like a pool filter company.

    Super cute spot! Visiting from Portland, I was hesitant about the craft beer scene in Nashville but this place did not disappoint. There appeared to be a lot of locals doing work on their laptops and taking meetings. We just came in for a casual drink so it was great! There were good options for beer lovers and non-beer lovers or those adventurous to try a sour. The flavors were balanced and accurate to their descriptions. You should note- It is a brewery and that means it smells like they are brewing beer... I love that smell but a few folks in our group aren't used to it and so they had some aversion to the hop smell. Next time I'm in Nashville, I can't wait to go back!

    Awesome brewery and coffee shop. Friendly staff and funky indoor outdoor space. They have cans of brews to go, great IPAs for sure. I got few beers and continued my brewery tour of Nashville. Definitely worth a stop and they open earlier than others.

    While Living Waters Brewing gets most of its press as a brewery, don't sleep on their coffee selection. Their chai with oat milk is one of my favorites in the city. I regularly stop by after yoga and it makes my morning. A sweat sesh and a chai is a perfect morning for me. Make the stop, get a coffee and if you're lucky they'll have a delicious food truck, burrito selection, or baked good.

    Only been there for the coffee And it was great Not sure how much they have invested in their coffee equipment,, but they use it a coffee is great!! Beer selection is good too.

    You can find Living Waters Brewing at 1056 E Trinity Ln Ste 101, Nashville, TN 37216. This is in East Nashville which is more a region of the city than being east of Nashville proper. There's some limited parking out front and an additional lot in the back - I've come here on different days and times and haven't encountered a time where I wasn't able to find parking. Living waters has an interesting concept that I love - they do great coffee and they do great beer. I'm not sure how they staff with such a broad scope of business as they open quite early and close quite late. Whatever sacrifices they make are well worth my time, regardless. They have a great variety of beer, all good in my opinion, and they take a lot of care in making sure your coffee has the best quality standards. Yesterday morning I hit them for coffee - it was an espresso with milk - that was simply perfect. Coffees of this quality takes both skill and time but well worth it. Previously I've enjoyed quite a bit of beer from Living Waters. The other night I tried these: Highgate Imperial NEIPA 7.5% ABV - Well executed NEIPA with hazy tropical body, notes of coconut with a clean, slightly bitter dry finish. Multnomah Fruited Gose 6% ABV - Gose double-fruited with blueberry purée and blueberry muffins. A great poolside crusher this refreshing gose is sure to remind you of your favorite blueberry pastry and sweet tarts. Mille Imperial Milk Stout 9.3% ABV - This could get me drinking coffee stouts again, low bitterness roast coffee and sweet chocolate notes produces the perfect balance in this creamy thick stout. The service here is always quite good - they're always willing to make suggestions based on your likes. Kudos to this great brewery.

    This spot was awesome. Love the chill coffeshop vibes while we were having beer. Would absolutely come.back to try some of the coffee drinks and cocktails. Their beer was also pretty great. In the top of Nashville brews thus far, esp for IPA lovers. Wish we could've taken home a pack but they were all sold out at the time. Will be back for a future release! The staff was nice and helpful. Would recommend a visit for sure!

    5oz pours (max of 2 per person at a time)

The tasting started and it out of 5, only one did not have a nasty and strong hoppy/bitter after taste. The select were Passion fruit, Hippies and Cowboy, Southern Wit, Urban Hiker, and Wildwood. As we spent our time no one seem to as if we needed anything or if our selection were ok. We got some "why are you in here type" looks. I was not impressed by this brewery. The customer service and my sensing of being not welcome was high. Note we were the only patrons. I would not return.

Meanwhile, the other members of my group, all around the same age and carrying valid IDs, were able to order drinks without issue. As an Asian customer, I left this establishment believing I was racially profiled. I was singled out, denied service despite presenting valid identification, and never given a legitimate explanation for why my ID was supposedly unacceptable. Since the incident, I have found multiple reviews from other customers of color describing experiences that raised similar concerns about profiling and disparate treatment. The entire experience was humiliating, unprofessional, and unacceptable. There are plenty of businesses in Nashville that can verify IDs without treating customers this way.

Now that Southern Grist has been acquired by XUL Beer Company in Knoxville another Amazing brewery I've visited several times and watched grow. This feels like two epic forces coming together. Think of it like two legendary bands collaborating on a "Greatest Hits Mixtape." I can't wait to see what comes next from this powerhouse combo! Today I went with a couple of flights and here's how it shook out: Engywook - Wild stuff. The cinnamon and nutmeg absolutely jump out at you. A small taster was perfect for me it's definitely a conversation starter. PG&J Mixtape: Grape - This is my jam (literally). So good. Sweet, nostalgic, perfectly balanced. In my opinion, one of the best in the country. Freezes & Hoverboards - Solid beer, well made, just not my personal favorite of the lineup. Peach Black Currant Strawberry Hill - Very good. Big, layered fruit flavor with great depth. Strawberry Delight Hill - Sooooo good! This is a must-have. Bright, flavorful, and dangerously easy to drink. Peanut Butter Copra - A stout with peanuts and a hint of toasted coconut. Let this one warm up a bit and the flavors really open up. Rich and smooth. Batch One Theory: 10th Anniversary Stout - Very good anniversary brew. I caught a subtle barleywine note blending into the stout character -- complex and interesting. Overall, this is a great place to sample some seriously creative beers. Plenty of space to sit inside or out, relax, and work your way through a flight. If you're a fan of bold flavors and breweries that aren't afraid to experiment, this is your spot.

This time, we switched things up and hit it for lunch instead. Good call. We grabbed seats at the bar, where Todd was holding down the fort. The guy was outstanding. Drinks never sat empty, food came out smoothly, and he somehow managed to be attentive without hovering over us every five minutes asking if everything was okay. My wife started with the Nashville Margue, which goes down way too easy for something packing moonshine. Light, refreshing, and carrying enough kick to remind you you're in Tennessee. Then Todd introduced us to a Bloody Mary made with a new pickle-infused vodka. Now, that sounds like one of those ideas that should either be amazing or a complete disaster. Turns out it's amazing. My wife loved it so much she's already talking about coming back tomorrow for another one. For food, we started with the pretzels and beer cheese. Simple. Warm. Soft. Salty. Exactly what you want while settling into a Nashville afternoon. Nothing fancy, just done right. Then I went all in on the mac and cheese topped with Nashville hot chicken. Yee Haw. Creamy mac and cheese. Crispy chicken. That signature Nashville heat. Comfort food with a little attitude. Just the way it should be. The best thing about The Stillery is that it knows exactly what it is. Good food. Good drinks. Good people. No gimmicks. No trying too hard. Just a fun place to sit down, relax, and enjoy yourself.

A bit mild for the serious hot chicken fans, but the flavor is there. The chicken tenders are fairly standard. And the crinkle fries are mid. I enjoyed both of the drinks. At $14.50, they are at least $1.50 less than the standard Broadway cocktails in the star bars, so iti s a less expensive option to get a drink. I don't think they ever have live music, unlike some others here, so you are going for the food, not the noise. Service was great, as always. The staff is always prompt and knows their menu. It is more bar food and the menu is limited, but what they do, they do well.
