What a vibe! Honestly such a great place that I'm so glad I found. The servers are excellent and honestly what a great location downtown. They have a beautiful patio to enjoy the weather or two floors inside for if the weather isn't quite what you're looking for. The pizza is honestly one of the best I've had, and the beer options are constantly changing and absolutely delicious. Love that they're family and dog friendly. They check all the boxes I look for and more, definitely give it a try! I know I'll keep coming back for more. read more

ok wait... TailGate Brewery in Chattanooga?? obsessed. this place is HUGE, like you walk in and immediately feel like you picked the right spot. super dog friendly, tons of space, and just overall a really fun, laid-back vibe. we had already eaten at a spot down the street (tragic, honestly) but after seeing the menu?? yeah... we should've waited. everything sounded so good. my boyfriend and I already said next time we're 100% getting a sandwich and a beer here because it just feels like that kind of place. our bartender was super nice and quick and can we talk about the bathrooms?? pristine. like actually clean, which says a lot. also the patio situation?? elite. big screen TVs, tons of space, and apparently they do movie nights out there which I didn't even realize at the time. now I'm fully planning a summer night here because that sounds like so fun...easy 5 stars. already planning my return. read more

Tailgate in downtown Chattanooga hoed the game with Harry themes! We stopped in during their first-ever Harry Potter-themed event, and they truly brought the magic to life. The atmosphere was fun, creative, and full of great energy. A huge shout-out to Grey, who was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. She walked us through everything from beer to drinks. I maybe took a few home. Her knowledge about the area made the experience even better. I have always loved the main TailGate spot in Nashville--it's my go-to brewery after Marble Fox--so it was awesome to see the Chattanooga location living up to that same great vibe and quality. The beer was fantastic, the service was top-notch, and the entire visit was . read more

Steve did a beer flight and enjoyed all the selections. We also tried the spicy vodka pizza, which was decent. As someone who grew up on Long Island, NY, and has high standards for pizza, I found the flavor pretty good overall. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. The staff kindly offered Luna a bowl of water, which is always appreciated. We sat outside under a shaded area, which kept us comfortable and out of the sun. We even ended up chatting with a lovely couple celebrating their wedding anniversary--it's always nice to meet new people. A solid spot for pet-friendly dining and drinks. read more

Customer service is there with patience and guidance is choosing something to drink and eat. Their wings, their beer and their pizza are too good. Fun to choose some flights or just a pint. A tad bit pricey but nice for a treat here and there. Also unfortunately you do have to pay for parking. A bonus is inside and outside seating read more

Great atmosphere on patio, we enjoyed the pizza and the beer selections also a plus that they serve cocktails.

Stopped in while visiting the area. We sat outside on the upper deck. It was a beautiful sunny day. The beer selection was large and a good variety of styles. I especially liked the black lager; very well done! We started with the garlic knockers...DELICIOUS! Then we went with the Detroit Style pizza. We got the meat lovers. It was soooo good. I generally prefer my sauce under the cheese, but this was good. The service was friendly, helpful and fast. I'll likely hit this place again before leaving town. read more

We were in town for a concert and looking around for a place to eat and have a beer before it, when we spotted TailGate. We've been to a couple of the Nashville locations, so we had to try this one! My husband got a full pour of beer, while I went with a flight. I get a flight whenever I can. The beers were tasty. For food, we chose the spicy vodka pizza. It was a party in my mouth! So flavorful with a hint of spice. The service was outstanding. So friendly. Looking forward to stopping back in the next time we're in town! read more

My trivia team came here to play trivia for a change of scenery. My teammates had played here once before, but this was my first time. You place your order at the bar, get a number and find a seat, so I placed my order. I asked for unsweetened iced tea with lemon. They had neither the tea, nor the lemon. What bar has no lemon?? I ended up with water and wings. There was no A/C on the second floor so we ended up playing trivia on the second floor patio in 90° heat, which was not pleasant. The patio is not covered and only has a few sunshades over some of the picnic tables. Sitting at a picnic table for 3 hours also wasn't very comfortable. My friends ordered small pizzas and they smelled delicious. My wings were great. Luckily we had access to a soda machine so we could all refill our own waters frequently. While there was staff around, they weren't there frequently enough on a hot day to fill waters. They were there mostly to clear tables and occasionally check in. The highlight of my night was the cannoli. They were the best I've had since I've been in Chattanooga! A couple of additional details about the place...it is not handicap accessible as far as I can see. There are tons of stairs which does not make it disability friendly. They use plastic utensils and Styrofoam to-go boxes. There are unisex bathrooms, which is nice because you don't have to stand in line. I gave it 3 stars because of the A/C issue and inaccessibility. The food is somewhat pricey, too, though good as far as first impressions go. Get the A/C fixed and earn another star. read more

Okay we probably come here at least once a month... and they're family friendly!! If you enjoy good beer and pizza this place is for you

Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Will definitely be back. We had the whipped ricotta pizza top shelf style and a build your own Hawaiian pizza. Both were great. Staff was very nice and attentive. Order at the bar and Pop was self serve. Cool place inside and has a great patio area. Pay to park behind the restaurant. (got lazy & copied my wife's review........but I agree with her.....cause I'm no dummy) read more

I'm not from here but have been here many times. Decided to let all visitors and Chattanoogans to know this place is very nice. I decided to comment on customer service (their food and beer speaks for itself self). Three exceptional servers that made me want to right this. Elizabeth, Katty and Audrey were exceptional. I had a stroller and they helped and they were so friendly and very attentive. Who ever reads this, give them a try!! read more

We wanted good pizza in Chattanooga but were having a hard time finding just the right place. Fortunately this place had Detroit/deep dish style pizza. The sauce was not my favorite but the crust around the edge and the cheese was perfect. I had a dirty soda and my husband had a beer. Both were great. Service was quick but it was not peak time. We sat outside in front of large screen TV. Would have been a cool place to watch the Super Bowl! read more

While I was super sad to see the former tenant of this building leave, Tailgate Brewery is living up to the history of good food in a fun venue. The pizza was absolutely delicious and the wings were some of the best I've had in the city. This is becoming the go to place for my bookclub when we're not having a meeting at someone's house because the space, food, employees are all great. 10/10 would recommend for the food and service. read more

Delicious beers, the Double IPA is amazing, my gf recommends the apple pie cider. Both on point. The staff is amazing! Riley was very welcoming right off the rip and gave hints to alternatives to sours. Caitlin was very knowledgeable and so sweet to stop and talk with us for 10 mins about local spots and trails. We personally want to thank Caitlin for recommendations on the area and Oddstory. We will definitely be coming back because of you guys! read more

Fundamentally, not clean. One of our servers was very nice, the other was not having a good day. Non of our food came out together which made it a bit awkward. I understand it's a brewery, but only plastic utensil dispensers and flimsy paper plates for eating. The glasses did not seem clean either. Unfortunate. read more

THEY DO NOT HAVE SALT How does a restaurant not have salt? I went here trying to be quick. It is not quick. It looks like this place has great reviews but my experience was bad food for a high price. I got the chicken nuggets (half buffalo half hot honey). The chicken I was served was barely warm and highly reminiscent of the boneless wings at my colleges on campus "sports bar." My husband complained after eating it of not feeling well and we had to end our night early. The fries were way too high price though they were fine other than they needed salt which this restaurant doesn't have. They must not cook anything and it must just be microwaves in the back. Otherwise they'd have salt. My husband also got a flight of beers and said the cups tasted of sanitizer. read more

In town for a brief visit and wanted to check out a local brewery. This relaxed venue was perfect to enjoy a beer on the upstairs patio and take in a brief glimpse of the activity on Station Street. Great selection of beers. My strawberry lemonade shandy was tart and refreshing and my husband enjoyed his Wizard IPA. All the staff were friendly, and helpful, but Kaitlyn kindly took extra time to explain the area and make us feel welcome. Kid and dog friendly. Check it out. read more

Everything about this place is fantastic. The service is above and beyond. Everyone is so friendly. The drinks are great, and the pizza is even better. We got a Detroit style pizza and it is the best we've ever had. They have plenty of large TVs and came to watch a game. It was a perfect experience! read more

The food is great, we loved the pizza of the month and the garlic knockers. Lots of TVs for football games and a nice patio, awesome music playing. The staff were very friendly, Jake gave us great recommendations for beers and seemed very knowledgeable. The double IPA and the cinnamon toast crunch beer were delicious! Katie came by and chatted with us, she gave us some good recommendations for other places to check out while we are in town. The vibe here is perfect. Bring Tailgate Brewery to Florida! read more

Great beer and awesome pizza!! Very casual and fun brewery, we really enjoyed our visit. They have tons of pizza options - make your own and also preset pizza choices. Their cider was great and I loved the pepperoni feta Detroit style pizza! Everyone was super nice and able to keep everyone's orders straight - could be a fun place to have a birthday party or work event as well read more

It's ok... I think you can find just as good of a local beer selection other places. The pizza is good but SO expensive. $30 for a large pizza that feeds 2-3 people. I know it's a sports bar, but the lighting is very bright and it gets loud in there. I wouldn't recommend this. For $15 a plate and $8 a beer, go somewhere with better food. The pizza was tasty, we had the hot honey. The spice does sneak up on you, not for those wary of heat. read more

I am so glad we stopped here! We were greeted immediately when we walked in and were given direction on menus, ordering, etc. The team was super knowledgeable and gave recommendations on both beer and food. Everyone who worked here was so friendly and helpful. Great music in the background and loved the vibe. Pizza was delicious. We got the Nashville hot pizza and the Mexican street corn pizza and loved both. Beer was great also! We had a few different styles. Overall, fantastic experience and we would come back next time we pass through town. So glad we stopped! read more

First off, the staff was amazing. The lady at the counter let us sample anything we wanted. She had a great taste for beer suggestions and didn't make us feel rushed. The wait staff were so pleasant and even gave us local recommendations for our next stop. The beers were delish and there was a huge selection! Highly recommend the Hot Sun cold IPA and the honey ricotta pizza was delish! We will be back! read more

TailGate Brewery Chattanooga - Beer flight - Breweries Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Our visit to Tailgate Brewery was so disappointing we left roughly an hour after arriving. We were in on Saturday night hoping to watch the Tennessee game. We walked in and we're immediately met with a line but with no explanation about what the line was for. A friend and I headed further in to see if we could get a table and we were told to find a table and the initial order had to go through the bar but then we would have "full table service". We are not at all sure what "full table service" means because we had no table service at all other than someone dropping off food we'd ordered. To order anything, including a cup for water, you had to get in the line. Once we got to the front of the line, all but one of the appetizers were unavailable and many of the other food items were sold out as well. It was 7:30 pm so too early in the evening to be out of so many items. My husband went to order a pizza and was told it would take at least an hour. For my first drink, I ordered the Harvest Amber. It was a nice medium amber beer but a bit sweet for my taste. It had a maple syrup flavor that I couldn't get past. For my second drink, I wanted my go-to which is a simple vodka soda with two limes. Alas, no luck. They had no limes. I ended up ordering the limoncello spritz. Please save your money. It was ridiculously expensive and the worst limoncello spritz I've ever had. I have to say that I feel for the bartenders here. The bar is tiny, disorganized and, with all the dirty glasses piling up, messy. There did not seem to a good system of who was doing what and it simply appears to have been set up by someone who has never been behind a bar. It would would of they just stuck to beer but by adding liquor, it doesn't work. The place is quite large and there were plenty of places to sit. If you'd rather a place that is quieter, this might work for you. It certainly wasn't the vibe we were looking for. There is a huge outdoor area where we sat. I'd prefer regular tables and chairs instead of picnic tables to be more comfortable but we were able to all sit together. Overall we were very disappointed in our visit and as mentioned, we left a little after an hour of our arrival. The space has so much potential but Chattanooga has many superior places to go right in the same area. read more

Service and beer has always been great at every location. Chattanooga is no different.

First, ambiance - 5 stars! Very cool place. The vibe makes you want to hang out. Second, food - 4 stars. Plenty of easy choices. A few inventive pizza combinations. It measured up pretty well (not the best I've ever had, but I'd eat here again) Beer - 5 stars! Lots of choices. Everything available. Bartender was helpful and nice. Service - 3 stars! The front counter guy was superb. We FINALLY got an attentive server walking around near the end of the visit. The timing in between - a service desert! I saw a few people walk by, but my empty beer glass sitting at the end of the table didn't entice them to inquire if I wanted another beer. I don't need constant check-ins, but I don't want to have to chase people down. Finally went to the bar to get my own beer. Ugh! Overall - I'll round to 4 stars. Try it. At least the beee and ambiance is stellar read more

Came to Chattanooga for a race and was meeting some friends of the child from college. Needed to be careful with diet before the race so pizza was a safe choice. I'm a pizza snob (New Haven pizza from childhood through high school) so it better be good. This place did not disappoint. They had traditional as well as Detroit style. We tried both styles. Had the veggie Detroit style with their extra seasonings/dressing and the hot honey traditional style. Very pleased with the veggie; the hot honey had the best spice, but a little too sweet for our taste. In any event I will definitely go back when I race next year as there were other specialty pizzas I want to try. Waitstaff was funny and cool, but courteous and friendly. Very cool vibe. read more

TailGate Brewery Chattanooga - Good place for friends to meet up! - Breweries Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

A great find in a town full of breweries and bars. I chose this place because it sits next door to the Chattanooga Choo Choo complex (total train tourist!!!). But this place was a winner even without the choo choo. Extensive beer selection. My friend did a flight and was excited about 3 of the 4 choices. I focused more of the food end. Great wings and pizza! The building is small with only a few tables. Being in a touristy area you will probably need to pay to park close by (we paid in the lot in the rear). While the Choo Choo seems to have some classier places, this was an absolute winner for us with a casual atmosphere. Definately on our radar if back in the area (or Nashville where they originate from). read more

Service is crazy slow here. I came here because I thought it would be a quick in and out,as I'm in a rush. I spent about 5 minutes standing in line waiting to order because they're only 2 registers. Then, I waited a solid 50 minutes for a small pizza. read more
