    Hoptographer IPA & hot honey pizza
    Key S.

    Tailgate has a great rotating selection of craft beers, seltzers, and occasionally more. I appreciate how each location has its own unique atmosphere and offerings. I find them to be very consistent between locations with their great standards of food, brews, and service. The Hot Honey pizza is a staple in my book.

    TailGate Brewery HQ - Where Pizza Meets Perfection (and the Niners Have a Second Home!) If you're looking for a sign to order the ricotta pizza at TailGate Brewery HQ... this is it. That pie is so good it should come with a warning label: "May cause uncontrollable happy dancing." But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their varieties -- they're all made to perfection, crispy where it counts, melty where it matters, and absolutely, ridiculously yummy. The atmosphere? Think "fun, buzzing energy" meets "your new favorite hangout." The staff is friendly, fast, and incredibly accommodating -- the kind of people who make you feel like you've been coming here for years even if it's your first time. And let's talk seating. There's so much of it. Indoors, outdoors, tucked in corners, near a million TVs -- this place is basically a paradise for sports lovers. Even better? It's a 49ers bar. Yes, my fellow Faithfuls, our people have gathered. I cannot wait to watch a Niner game here, surrounded by red, gold, and perfectly crisp pizza crust. So grab your friends, grab a seat, grab a slice, and enjoy the magic. Head to TailGate -- and GO NINERS!!

    I love this place! A friend invited me out for dinner and I hadn't been to Tailgate in quite a while and it was a great choice! The Whipped Ricotta pizza is absolutely amazing - and be sure to ask for a little Hot Honey to go with it and it's perfection! It wasn't too busy on a Thursday night. The team was very helpful and nice, checking on us often to refill drinks and such. We also tried the French Fries which were perfectly cooked! A great evening out at one of Weay Nashville's hot spots.

    Lots of brews. Their pizza really is a standout- great crust and yummy sauce. Stop here when shopping. Each visit has been great.

    I've been to a couple of their other spots, but this was my first time at the main HQ--and I loved it. I stopped by last Thursday for their movie night on the massive patio (seriously, it's huge). The vibe was super chill, perfect for summer evenings. The beer, as always, was awesome. If you're not sure what to get, just ask someone on staff--they're really friendly and can help you find your new favorite. We also grabbed some food and went with the Detroit-style salami and ricotta pizza. Total win. Oh, and they sometimes have frozen margaritas, which is just a nice bonus. If you're reading this during summer 2025, they're showing movies every Thursday at 7pm. Great spot for families, date nights, or hanging out with your pup. There's tons of space, and the atmosphere is just right.

    Just a few options.

    We've only been to Nashville 3 times and yet I think we've been to this restaurant 4 or 5 times. The pizza is so good and the workers are friendly and helpful. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, the latter with a beautiful view and some big screens that have had sports being broadcasted. It is a great place for families that have kids that need to stretch their legs or dogs that also don't want to miss out. Oh yeah, the beer is also something to go for. There are a few stouts from which to choose (my preference) and numerous other IPAs, wheat, orange, etc. (my wife's choice). There is no doubt that when we come back in September we will be revisiting Tailgate.

    TailGate offers so much space, great spot for larger groups or events! In the past month I attended two events in the barn area and was very impressed with the staff's attentiveness and the ease of everything! After my most recent event, my friend and I headed over to the main dining area and split the Whipped Ricotta - so satisfying!!! And, I tried their "Pumpkin Spice Latte" Stout Beer and it paired well!! We were pleasantly surprised it was 50% off pizza night (Wednesdays - dine in only). I really enjoyed the liveliness of the space and authentic enthusiasm of the staff!! I regret not trying this place sooner and will be returning soon!

    Tailgate brewery is a popular pizza and brewery however their prices are high for what you get. Their pizza is just okay, the dough could be crisper, but it is made to order which is nice. Their elderberry beer was VERY sour. Almost un-drinkable with an overwhelming elderberry taste and no cherry flavor. The beach was sour too. The only beer we really liked was the dark lager (which was good). They have how to make beer on the walls in bright colors which was nice, but it is extremely loud and echoey. Service was good, and everyone was nice. I may go back but only for a beer, and I wouldn't get the pizza again.

    We went on a Christmas Friends Sip & Eat Adventure. Tailgate Brewery was our next stop. We were there as soon as it open. Christmas decorations every where. Great place to watch sports. Service was quick and friendly even if it's busy. Follow me on Instagram - @thecannyadventurist for a deeper dive into my reviews.

    Tailgate brewery was everything needed on a Friday evening. A place that is family and pet friendly that offers something for everyone. The service was efficient and they also offered single slices of pepperoni and cheese pizza that could be purchased starting at 6:30. They also have some summer events on various weeks including outdoor movies. They have ample seating both inside and outside. All and all it's a vibe.

    Small Burrata Margarita Pizza
    Honest R.

    I really wish I never came here, because now I'm going to be craving this place. I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to quality of food. A place has to have something special about it. It's so hard to tell sometimes if the food will be good based on photos alone. I really hesitated to order from here yesterday. I ordered the garlic knockers not really knowing what I was getting. I honestly just thought they were regular garlic knots, but boy was I wrong. They were absolutely delicious crunchy goodness. I truly hope they are consistent because I will definitely order them again! I also had a small burrata margarita pizza. It was also delicious! Please do not take this off the menu ever. I don't eat pork or beef so it's the perfect pie for someone like me. I will definitely be going back here in the near future.

    Met some friends out back at Tailgate on a movie night. Thursday's at 6 pm, they show a movie out back and last night was Secondhand Lions! It wasn't so loud that we couldn't talk, though. A wedding event was also happening under the big tent. We ordered a flight a ciders, each with intense and delicious flavors. My fav was the Champagne Cider, and Lucky Charms cider. Also ordered the hot honey pizza with added whipped ricotta, and the supreme pizza. Delish!

    Tailgate Brewery happens when too much beer was flowing and every spray paint canister exploded. Graffiti for the eyes and the garlic knots for the soul. Somehow this spot is expertly curated. Super casual microbrewery with the best service. Who's the artist? Please someone give them a Pulitzer. For garlic knots, if nothing else.

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.
