I am addicted to their cauliflower crust specialty pizzas! YUM!! I'm not a beer drinker, but my friends seem to love their crafted brews. Friendly staff and lots of space to accommodate large groups or parties read more

First time going and I was very disappointed. Prices were way to high for what I was getting and the pizza crust seemed like it was old. Super chewy and hard to bite off read more

Tailgate Brewery has some truly adventurous beers on tap with the option to try four beers in a flight. I like that! It's allowing me to try new beers without having to commit to a large glass. As much as I've enjoyed the beer, the reason I've turned into a fanboy is the delicious pizza. There is something magical in the Hawaiian pizza that transcends the sum of the ingredients. The toppings are flavorful and liberally applied. I think it's the light thin crust that separates this from other pizza I've had. Is that a hint of rosemary oil??? I've taken friends to Tailgate who all voted their pizza as the best they've ever had. I agree...(I'm a Chicagoan so I should be rooting for my home team but I can't honestly do it) There are other pizzas to enjoy at Tailgate, and one day I will try one. As soon as I get the Hawaiian pizza monkey off my back. But...I do love him so. read more

We always love coming to Tailgate! They have lots of beers on draft and today there are 15 different pumpkin beers to choose from The outside area is large and awesome! Their pizza is also amazing- very cheesy, buttery and moderately priced! Tailgate is a fun place to hang with friends and out of town guests! We will certainly be back! read more

TailGate Brewery - Enjoying pumpkin beers in this beautiful day! - Breweries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Best damn brewery around! Love the people, the board games, the pizza (omg Caprese pizza), the barn, and of course, the beer! There's a great Groupon right now...$28 for $50 in pizza/apps and it's definitely worth it. Also, get the beer flight. You select 4 sample beer, and they've always got new beers to try! Their special events are great! read more

I love Tailgate. We first went to Tailgate for a Yelp Elite event a year ago and had a great time. The pizza is great and the Peanut Butter Milk Stout beer quickly became my favorite beer. No surprise that it's an award winner. We said we'd go again sometime but we didn't until the Predators where in the Stanley Cup playoffs and Tailgate showed the games. The pizza was still as good as we remembered and the Peanut Butter Milk Stout from the tap is so delicious. I'd been getting it in cans at Kroger. The beer is still good in cans but there's something to be said for it straight from a tap. We've made it to Tailgate more since that Predators game. In fact, we've gone to the last two Yappy Hours, where people bring their dogs and hang out in the back. Chris and I don't have dogs, so we just tell people were there to put other people's dogs. Luckily no one thinks we're weird and is very nice. Of course the dogs are cute and sweet. Yappy Hour is the first Wednesday of the month, so Chris uses the opportunity to try the pizza of the month. He's enjoyed all so far. This month, we joined the Mug Club, which has many benefits like $3 for each beer, discounted growlers, discounts on merchandise, and other things. We just know we'll be going enough to make the $60 membership worth it. Tailgate events we plan to go to in the near future: October Yappy Hour where there will be a costume contest for the dogs and the October Movie Series, specifically Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus. read more

I visited Tailgate for the first time on July 3rd for the fireworks and had the best peanut butter milk stout. Came back for Yappy Hour and had an even better time! Made lots of new dog friends, had the garlic knickers (delish) and the caprese pizza (super delish). Also tried the chocolate puff milk stout which was great too. Can't wait to go back! read more

The garlic knockers are so delicious I will drive miles for them. Definitely worth the wait read more

Our experience was very strange. We had a party of about 20 people and for the most part the staff seemed annoyed to have customers. They were very attentive to take empty glassware from us at the bar but getting a drink took forever. I finally figured out (via a giant "beer" sign and arrow) that there's a line down at the end of the bar to order. Generally those areas are reserved for servers to do their thing so I wouldn't have thought to do that. There's got to be 50 signs throughout the place that shout at you. Super odd. I will say the beer was fantastic. Had the grapefruit Witt and the Salted Caramel Porter. read more

Awesome brewery! My husband and I go out to the Charlotte location every chance we get. They have a ton of selection, back yard area that is dog friendly, and ample seating and yummy pizza and soft pretzels inside. My favorite brewery in Nashville primarily for the amount of variety and great location! Can't wait until they open their East Nashville location! The only thing they could do to improve their service is have severs instead of having to go to the bar to order read more

I love tailgate brewery! They have delicious pizza and beer with a unique vibe. They often have different events throughout the week. On fridays in the summer they show a movie outside which is super fun and beautiful! read more

service amazing! beers delicious, choices a plethora! ambience, not too noisy also inviting, showed the titans game while we were there as well. Ruben sandwich was 10/10. only negative, stay away from the pork rinds. stale, not freshly cooked as one would think for a $10 app. the hot honey they put on them, un real how good. next time I'm trying it on the wings. read more

Best brewery in Nashville...Great pizza and one hell of a craft beer selection. Friendly staff. Great place for big parties.

Update to original review: the general manager took the time to reach out to me to explain the miscommunication. I understand how things can be misspoken. The general manager, out of his busy schedule, took the time to correct this error. I greatly appreciate all that he did! He is very sincere to the customers and I look forward to many more visits to the brewery when ever I'm in Nashville. This is a must go to brewery for anyone in town because the beer is amazing! Well the experience started off ok but every Brewery I have visited has always sold they glasses. I collect the glasses of the different breweries I visit but I was told the "don't sell their glasses". I will not be back. So all the brewery visitors that has a collection of glasses BEWARE and do not visit this one. read more

Not enough good things to say about this place. Either locations. The beer is fantastic and huge variety, food is AMAZING (a little expensive but worth it- taco pizza is FIRE), staff is always attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. GREAT place for dogs and kids. A ton of room to run around. Have yet to have a less than positive experience at either location. read more

This place has the best service ever. Tons of different beers to choose from, all locally made My beer was cold and refreshing. Our pizza and dessert was yummy and reasonably priced. Having board games to play while we hung out was fun and unexpected honestly. We will definitely be back. Also FREE PARKING read more

This is our all time favorite brewery!!! Awesome ambiance! The artwork on the walls is neat and interesting to look at. The pizzas are goooooood!!!! The goo goo cluster dessert pizza is delicious!!! Great selection of craft brews that are amazing and sooo tasty. All of the staff is friendly, helpful, professional, and knowledgeable about beer. This is by far our favorite brewery to frequent. read more

Great IPAs, and the pizza was stellar. I got a medium but I should have ordered a large!!!

Stopped here with friends after a couple hours of doing the adventure park. I always love breweries and the tours. We didn't do the tour because obviously we all were starving. This seems to be a great place for coming to watch the games. They also have another room for seating if you just want to eat or if you want to play one of their many board games. The staff and service were both great. The pizza was surprisingly good. I'm not usually a fan of the NY style pizza but it was really good. The only thing that was disappointing was the beer. I had the pick 4 tray and I didn't enjoy any. Maybe it was my choices, but just for the pizza and atmosphere I will definitely return. read more

TailGate Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Cool atmosphere and art on the walls, some is even for sale. About the food: Our pizza (hot chicken) tasted bland; fairly thin crust, dry, with chicken that tasted like freezer bag Tyson's chicken. The garlic knockers also taste like cheddar bay red lobster biscuits over-seasoned with Italian seasoning. About the experience: The way the place is set up tabs transfer between bar spaces. Boyfriend and I bought the food above at one place and hopped over to the outdoor area for frozen cocktails (not bad actually). When we approached the food bar where we ordered about a refund (barely ate any of the food, just wasn't good at all) we were told the guy couldn't process a refund because the tab was closed. Then he offered two free drink tickets (mind, our food tab was about $50 lol) since he couldn't "re-open the tab" to refund it (makes no sense) but was happy to "close it out" when we offered to tip. Verbatim he said he could "close it out" right after telling us he couldn't offer a refund since the tab was already closed. I'll be calling back tomorrow morning to discuss it with the manager and get it straightened out for good (with a refund for sure). No reason to have fabricated such a non-sensible story when we ate less than 4-5 bites and it tasted like garbage. Highly disappointing experience. Would not recommend for anything other than drinks; didn't get to try the beers but the list seems decent. read more

TailGate Beer is on the right track. Nashville lacks a cool brewery where you can just... hang. TailGate helps fill that void. It seems that their location is an old bowling alley of sorts. It's a huge space. They have a large, private party room and plenty of space in their tasting room. They also have a large outdoor barn with games, corn hole, and giant jenga. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind. They greet you right when you walk in the tasting room and offer to help. There are plenty of beers to choose from. And though we didn't grab any food - they do have a large snack menu. They are family friendly and it really does feel that way. A few downsides: The space is so large it can feel empty and strange if it's not super busy. The outdoor area is a great start but there are no heat lamps, no way to turn the ceiling fans off, no music or speakers, and a lack of staff present to take away dirty glasses or offer any help. TailGate's decor is overly eclectic. It just seems so easy to go with the TailGate theme that they sorely miss the mark. Overall - they are a great family friendly venue and an easy place to bring a large group. Their current venue seems to be under construction and it seems that they are making efforts to improve their space. That is always a big plus in my book! read more

Me and a group of guys went here for a fantasy football draft. While the guys liked the craft beer, the food was VERY over priced and not good at all. I ordered the Rodeo boneless hot wings. They were $16 and they honestly tasted like wings that I get from the local gas station. I also ordered the loaded BBQ chicken fries. It was burnt on the top and basically covered in BBQ sauce. The sauce actually had a good taste to it and the dish may have been decent if it had not been burned. These two items with a glass of water cost me $39. Pretty ridiculous! And very disappointing! My friend ordered the pizza of the week. And it tasted like a generic pizza from a box. Myself and my large group of friends were not impressed with this place at all. And if you are thinking it was just what we ordered......that is close to the only food choices you get. It is so bad that one of the guys that had been there before, waited to eat somewhere else after the draft. This is not a good family eatery. More of a craft beer bar with some less than tasty over priced food. Don't choose this place if you are looking for a good food choice. Unless you like to give a lot of money away for food you could get at the gas station. read more

I'm the 50th review! Awesome and not awesome. 'Awesome' in that I like silly milestones like that. 'Not awesome' in that so many more more people should be reviewing this place. Is it the location? It's gotta be the location. Forget the address: TailGate is well worth the drive from the city. Not only is the beer fun (imagine that, fun beer! Drinking can be fun? Huh?), the vibe is exactly what you want from a brewery: laid back and beer-focused. I'm mad at myself that it took me so long to come out. From the beginning, TB stands out. The A-frame lodge is distinct and tells customers that the brewery doesn't take itself too seriously but it respects what was here before it. The powers that be could have leveled the building. They didn't. That means something. Secondly, the space is fairly large (and this is not counting the outdoor area). There's the main tap room, private rooms, TVs, video games, etc. You're more than able to bring a large group of folks here for carousing, eating and wifi-ing. Yep, there's free wifi. I didn't see that coming. What I *did* see coming was all the beer drinking. There are THIRTY taps of TailGate Beer to try. Being Nashville, there's an over abundance of IPAs (this trend has to end) but there's also so interesting depth to the perma-taps and the seasonal varieties are impressive as well. Seeing as I was there in mid-spring, the Watermelon Wheat was a timely - and tasty - choice to make. I was impressed with the balance, nose and expertise in putting together this beer. It could have gone very wrong but I was psyched with the order. I was even happier with the fact that M-F from 3-6, pints are $4. Yes, please! I never experienced the old menu so I'm not going to get involved with the moaning and wailing. The pizza smelled (and looked) delicious and my garlic knots were exactly as advertised and filled my belly quite nicely. As I enjoyed my beer and bites, I noticed the soundtrack was all '70s -- unexpected but very welcome. Also (sadly) unexpected: such nice, chill workers. Unfortunately, Nashville's still at a stage of craft beer life that pretension and standoffishness (is that a word?) can trump the camaraderie that should come from brewing, discussing and drinking beer. The TailGate crew missed the memo that they have to be jerks. I'm glad to say that everyone with whom I interacted was nice, loose, fun, and all about having a good time. Many thanks to TailGate for adding some fun, skill and depth to Nashville's beer scene. If you haven't been and you fancy yourself a beer drinker, you need to fix that. Just come ready for a good time. read more

My wife and I have been here a few times now and I absolutely love their beer selection. Plenty of seating and TVs, good food, incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Being a lover of darker beers, I am sure I'll be back many more times as they have the best selection of porters and stouts in the Nashville area, hands down. I'm excited for next summer because apparently around the backside of the building they have picnic tables and lawn games set up -- sounds like a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! read more

Hanging at the picnic tables for sunset!! Best beers, best service!! Rock on Tailgate!!!

Potential, but massive problems this weekend as I watched any sort of flow grind to a halt as there was one point of sale machine and three bartenders attempting to use it. 20 minutes to get a beer, kind of line chaos at the bar, they were out of what I wanted so I chose something random, also out. However, I think this is surmountable. Another POS register, some sort of "order here" sign to get some sort of line order as there was none, covering up mention of out of tap beer, would have made this a very very cool place. I wandered out around back, not so much by choice as by chasing something caught in the wind, looks like the outdoors back area will rock when they get to fixing it. They're a good place to go, but they're not ready to be popular yet... I think that will be soon enough though read more

I love this microbrew. The beers are always fresh, great selection and staff quick to help with selections or tastes. The food has never disappointed. From great wings, garlic knots or pizza, everything tastes great. With several locations in town, I prefer West Nashville location. read more

Gave this place a second run after not great experience at the downtown location and average experience here at the main brewery. Nice that the management acknowledged my review, shows an awareness and care. Nice day out, found myself here, so stopped in. Since the bar was full of post-work crowd, I sat at a table in the back and picked a sampler of stouts. Some solids, some okay, nothing bad. Kinda weird sitting by myself like creepy unibomber loner. Since It was a beautiful Spring day, I asked if I could sit outside. Wow! Great, simple areas out back! A large covered area for rainy days and picnic tables for enjoying the sun. Met some of the employees who'd finished their shifts and chilled. Tried several beers based on their recommendations. After the sunset, moved inside and had a pizza. Beers still solid. Pizza not bad, nothing exceptional, but I would try again. The outside adds a solid point for a great, quiet area to enjoy a beer and the sunset. Nothing fancy, just a relaxing chill spot. Give it a try. read more

Came back because they are so dang close and again, love that the building is being used. Son ordered the Pizza 2 thumbs up. Garlic knots...Oh my....I know too many carbs and feel me here. I do NOT care. I don't. Some of us need carb drug. As the city gets more crowded, this place is not too far out. Have you seen the condos going up on Charlotte closer to Bellevue, they won't stop. This place is great meaning great for beer drinkers. Again, I don't drink beer, but pizza, location, activities and they look like they are doing something in front. Should be interesting. I think we are going to keep this on rotation now that son likes it and it is on the way to and from school. Wish our Alumni group would choose this place as our next go to for games. i think someone should, seems like the perfect place and has the name built right in. GO STATE! WE ARE! read more

I LOVE TAILGATE. The atmosphere, the beers/ciders, and the food is amazing (hello, garlic knockers, my old friends). There are games to play and the employees treat you like family (in a good way!). They regularly host events that are incredibly fun (hello, FREE, AMAZING 4th of July fireworks display!!!) and everything is reasonably priced for the quality. Would recommend every time read more

Absolutely unreal, amazing staff. They will go out of their way right to make sure you and your group have what you need, outside or inside.

TailGate will forever be my absolute favorite Nashville brewery. We've lived not even 5 minutes from there for almost 3 years and go just about once a week at least. Their pizza is incredible. So. So. So. Good. Amazing sauce, perfectly crispy but still chewy crust, and lots of cheese. we get pretzel bites and beer cheese a lot too. Those are also incredible! I honestly haven't tried a beer I don't like there. Their creativity with their flavors is unlike any other place you'll find in town. Get a flight your first time to try a lot of different ones! They have trivia every week, tons of board games, movies in the barn during the summer, and the best 4th of July and New Years celebration around. (: we love the whole staff there and definitely would recommend joining the Mug Club! You'll get a great deal on their $1 beer night if you join. The barn out back and picnic tables outside have a beautiful view of a great big grassy hill and field. It's family and dog friendly too! Bring your pupper out back and make new friends. TailGate is honestly one of the big reasons we want to stay on this end of town. I think you get the point. I freaking love TailGate. read more

The beer selection is great, the atmosphere is fun and family oriented, the food menu has some fun items I'd love to come back and try, like the Reuben. I didn't get it this time because of this massive salad I under estimated they've got a few liquor selections and a nice road soda cooler. The Pilsner is a great execution and I wish I had the stomach space to try all the beers. read more

Love this place! I was so excited when they planted their roots here and they've done nothing but exceed my expectations. Awesome beer selection. Great staff. Just all around awesome place. If you haven't been here, well, you're missing out! read more

ITS PEANUT BUTTER MILK STOUT TIME, PEANUT BUTTER MILK STOUT TIME. If you only get to try one beer at this place make it the PBMS, there is a reason they are expanding at such a huge rate and it is because of this beer. It's one of Nashvilles best original beers and they sell in in Draft and in Cans at local grocery stores, making it easy to grab on my trips to Kroger. The food at this brewery is also very good, the Lasagna pizza is even better than Lasagna and pizza separately and the garlic knots are great too! read more

Haven't eaten here yet, but I purchased a growler. The staff was very friendly and helpful and let me try a few samples to see what would be the best option. (I was making a pumpkin chili and the recipe called for a pumpkin beer) I do plan on returning here to dine in one of these days! read more

This place is a hidden gem right down the street from us. We walked in and were surprised by how much space there was in the brewery area. They had a great selection of beers and the food was delicious! We took a brewery tour and our tour guides were so friendly and the tour was actually very interesting. They also have tons of board games which made for a fun Saturday, battleship, beer, pizza, and garlic knockers (which I highly recommend)! The vibe here was very friendly and easy going and it is a family friendly establishment. We will definitely be coming back here for some great IPA's! read more

TailGate Brewery - Pint of Tropical and grower. - Breweries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

As a few others have mentioned, this place has potential. Only potential right now. We came for the official grand opening day, although this place has been soft open for a few weeks. We didn't do the free brewery tour they were offering, because we've done so many others across the country and they all end up being about the same. Had local live music going so that was cool. We headed straight to the bar to get a drink. That turned out to be next than impossible with the amount of people at 2 pm. Can't imagine the nightmare it would have been later in the evening. We knew it was opening day so didn't bother us too much. We grabbed our beers and sat down. They have picnic tables and other outdoor furniture inside their concrete walls with no natural light. They have outdoor game like corn hole, buts again, it's inside a dark room. I find it strange that a beer markets itself as "tailgate" beer but no patio. No windows. Straight dungeon. They definitely could have utilized that space better with more seating! We looked at the food menu while sitting down and immediately decided against ordering anything. It appears that a five year old made up the menu with Nutella sandwiches and BLT with peanut butter. That's not creative; it's nasty. Made the decision to leave and find a bar with a nice patio to celebrate the beautiful weather we were having Saturday. Getting our tab was horrific. I know it's busy. I know it's opening day. But you have 3 people trying to get beer for hundreds with 1 register that is also an iPad. And one waiter who doesn't know how to work it, thus slowing everyone else down. This place has a lot of good ideas, just poorly executed. Hoping they can turn it into something better, but my faith isn't too strong. read more
