Another of my favorite tap rooms in the Nashville area. This is similar to the Filling Station in East Nashville, but far more intimate. In 12 South, the Filling Station is a small little cottage on a side street (right behind Edly's BBQ. There are a few garden tables in front for outdoor seating and 3 or 4 inside. The inside has a bit of a small family-owned bookstore with the beertender standing behind a counter in the back. List is on the wall behind you, written in chalk so it can easily be updated. He blew two kegs while we were there last time and ended up putting on a beautiful hazy IPA from Xul. Beer is divided into styles and is well curated. There is no food, but I can see grabbing a bite at Edly's before and possibly bringing some over to enjoy with your brew. The Filling Station also has a selection of beers for purchase, but I would be more inclined to go over to Craft Brewed on South 8th if you want a better selection. read more

Super fun little spot, just accidentally happened upon it- can even get to go craft brew- fun merch and so many micro brew options! With a little local vibe! read more

We love this place to have some beers! So many different flavors. We met some nice musicians.

Amazing cozy vibes with indoor and outdoor seating. For a neighborhood spot this place has one of the best selections of craft beer I've seen in awhile. So many options and a knowledgeable and kind bartender. Very reasonable prices as well. I had a very good smoothie sour and hazy IPA. I'll be back for sure read more

The Filling Station - Beer and inside - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This place is amazing! It's literally a pit stop to rest your bones and sip a beer while doing some people watching. No meals here, just salty and sweet snack options. There is no hard alcohol sold here, but they do have about 15 to 20 beers on tap. This doesn't include the many tall boys, boozy kombuchas, and seltzers that they sell by the case or individually. They also offer walking beers. What's a walking beer you ask? Well, that's a beer you purchase, they pour in a plastic cup, you walk your ass right out on the street, and start sipping! Yes, I was the guy sipping a beer and pushing a stroller on my way to Butter Milk Ranch for a late brunch. Not gonna lie, it was a pretty good little Sunday. If you're in the neighborhood make this place a must stop in between window shopping and beating the summer heat. read more

Lady working earlier was so chummy! Dude working when we stopped back by was kind of a scrooge. Got a 6 pack to go and asked for a beer walking and he asked if I just "assumed they did that" Lol. Ya got a sign out front advertising that bro? Anyways no tip for grumpy and the only reason I took off a star but the lady is a sweetheart. Small spot with a good selection of local brews. read more

The Filling Station - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The Filling Station in the 12 South neighborhood is one of those unique Nashville spots that is fun to stop by. You can either grab a pint on tap and stick around for a while or you can grab a six-pack or growler with beer to-go. They have a pretty good selection of different craft beer. The interior is pretty small but they do have a few tables and also some games to play. They also have a bit of seating outside as well. Definitely a cool place if you're in the area or if you grab dinner at Edley's next door then I like coming here for a drink after. read more

Cool little beer shop where you can grab a pint to stay or snag a fix pack or fill up a growler to go. We came across this on a little stroll through the 12 South area and came back later in the evening to try a special Kolsch they had. This is a beer lovers dream with loads of options and even the option to taste something that's on tap. You can get 32 or 64 oz growlers of anything they're tapping. We snagged a front patio spot and drank a beer before dinner, watching everyone out and about. read more

Don't miss this spot! Fantastic beer only eclipsed by the service. Casual place to get away from the shopping crowd. Great selection of beers on tap as well as growlers and 4packs/6packs to go. Don't forget to take a "Walking Beer" on your way out the door. read more

This place is awesome! I was just walking around 12 South shopping and asked the barista at White Bison Coffee around the corner where I could get a local beer and chill and they recommended here. Great choice! I went at 5pm on a Sunday and while there were a handful of people here, I easily grabbed a table to myself and had the chai solstice beer (EXCELLENT!). I also wanted to get my dad a couple single local brews for Christmas and could only find 6 packs of craft brews, but I was able to purchase single beers here. Great little joint and love the ambiance/aesthetics. Looks like an old gas station but is super chic and clean. read more

Lots of places sell beer. Grocery stores, gas stations, even Target. But this place is way cooler. Lots of taps and new choices often. Good selection of cans and bottles and refills for those who have the right kind of container. Several tables inside (small space) and several out (weather permitting). Great spot to sit and sip and think and visit. read more

Stopped in on our way the Ederlys for barbecue. Grabbed a to go beer along with a six pack for later. The staff was super knowledgeable and friendly. They gave great recommendations and had an excellent selection of local beers. The outdoor sitting area was really nice and shady and quiet. Would definitely recommend stopping in. read more

Cool little beer store/bar! We popped in here after seeing the sign out from of the BBQ store next door. None of us wanted a beer at that exact moment, but we enjoyed perusing the beer selection and pointing out all of the ones from San Diego. Nobody was in the shop when we went, but then again it was like 3pm on a Monday afternoon. Would love to go back when there's some people in and have a beer. read more

In the 12th South area, The Filling Station is a must. It is located right next to Edely's BBQ. They have a great selection of craft beers for sale in 6 packs and a small group of beers in tap that you can drink inside or take home a Growler. The decor is old wood and makes it very cozy and the staff member was attentive and really took the time to explain the history of this quaint building and if the beers we were trying. It is not an all night party place. If you want to stop in and try a new beer or two, this is a good place. We will be stopping and getting some growlers for the road so we can have them back in Indiana. read more

"I spotted a couple of broken burglar bars underneath the back door to Bean's secret cider cellar." -- Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) Just a little corner spot to get your drink on before walking 12th and hitting some spots for food (or more drink). But if you blink, you might miss it. My friends and I stopped in on a Saturday to grab a drink (hard root beer for me, cider for one friend, beer for another) - so the options are great. We grabbed a high table in the corner and hung out for a bit while chatting and enjoyed the space. It was a reasonable price and the crowd was good. The line was good and steady, so they definitely have a following. They have growlers and outside seating as well. read more

The idea of a place selling craft beers in growlers to take home sounded fantastic but I was still skeptical with how picky I am with a good brew. Sure I drink the basic domestics like most other beer drinkers but only when I have to. There are way to many exceptional choices available in this world to waste my time and money on mediocre food and beverage. Other places have said that they set the bar high but fail in the execution. The Filling Station however achieves exceptionalism with a simple idea of providing their customers with anything but a mediocre beer drinking experience. I walked in to see a wall of growlers on the left, chalkboard with the beer list sitting above the 24 taps, and the shelves of bottled beer to my right. For such a small space it was momentarily overwhelming. The selection of both draft and bottle beers was quite impeccable. Their selection is constantly rotating but the standards of excellence don't seem to waiver. There is a notebook on the counter where you can request beers for them to have on tap in the future. The staff knew the beers very well also and really seemed happy to be there. It was a great experience and I recommend others to try it out. read more

The Filling Station has had a soft spot in my heart for years, since they opened actually. Strolling along 12th S. one could easily miss it. Tucked behind Edley's is this genius water hole of beer. A place were the draft taps are always on rotation and change weekly/monthly. The staff is always friendly and informative when asked questions. On many occasions I have bumped into someone that literally walked down the street in their house clothes and growlers in tote to get a quick and friendly refill of brew. You have the option to fill your growler, grab a pint, or create your own six-pack while visiting. Don't miss out on a visit to this unique local establishment! read more

We made a quick pit stop here after we left Edley's BBQ (right next door) - what a fun place! There was only one employee there, working hard and stocking the shelves. I never got her name but she had dark hair and was very helpful. She answered all our questions and was cool to chat with. We didn't get a chance to actually buy any beer because we had only had carry on luggage to take back on the plane - had we been able to, both my boyfriend and I would have made a few purchases. The selection and variety is incredible! And may I add, some of the most colorful, visually appealing bottles and cans I've ever seen. My boyfriend bought a couple empty growlers with their logo on it - only $5 and a great gift to give any beer enthusiast. Stop by and give this place a look, you won't be disappointed! read more

I like their ever changing taps. I bring my growler for them to refill when I have a need to have some cider. They have a great selection of both microbrews and limited editions brews. You're also able to enjoy a pint or a tasting here. Prices are on point with the market. read more

Now officially one of my favorite bars in Nashville. It's this super cute and cozy little hole in the wall off of 12th south that's a repurposed gas station. They have a good selection of beers and a really intimate and chill vibe. Great vibe for when you're looking to enjoy a beer in a more chill context and have a conversation without it being too noisy. I also love that they have a variety of board games you can play at no additional cost! The music they play is great, very good throwbacks and I've had a great experience every time I've gone. They don't have a ton of seating area because it's a tiny establishment so peak hours are probably less desirable for sit down (3-7). However, the Evenings here tend to be fairly quiet and I would highly recommend it! read more

Great watering hole on 12th. On first glance it is very easy to miss, but if you turn the corner you won't be disappointed. I do wish they had a larger patio, but we were lucky enough to snag a table on a nice sunday afternoon (on a Open street Nash day/pre-halloween weekend too! to top that one off!) Was really wonderful to play some chess, and most importantly dog watch while enjoying a nice afternoon out. read more

What a fantastic addition to the Nashville beer scene! Here's how it works - pick up a growler, hand it over to an employee & tell them what you want inside. Easy as that! I think I remember seeing a few options in bottles as well. My favorite part -- they have Goose Island! Be still, my heart. read more

The Filling Station is a great place to stop and grab a drink before dinner at the numerous nearby restaurants. We stopped here to grab a few drinks, relax and enjoy the lovely Saturday afternoon weather. They have a large selection of craft beer on tap as well as CIDER! I'm not a beer drinker, but I do love my cider. It was fairly cheap to get our drink on here. The Filling Station also has growlers so you can get your fill of some awesome beer to go. read more

I agree with Justin R., how can anyone ever give The Filling Station a bad review. The Filling Station is a To-Go beer shop. Within the comfortable confines of the joint, one can get one's growler filled or buy single bottle craft beers or buy six packs of craft beers. There is a large variety from whence one can choose of on tap and bottles. Don't own a growler? Then I recommend that you purchase a growler from the fine gentlemen at The FIlling Station. Growlers are just $5, and then you can get it filled from one of roughly 20 taps of a variety of good wholesome craft beer. And, all of the craft beer is not just local (don't get me wrong, I love supporting local craft breweries like Jackalope, Yazoo, and Blackstone). You can find great choices like Goose Island as well. Not interested in a growler, but rather enjoy something about pouring a beer from a bottle in a tall cold glass at the house? Fantastically, the gents at The Filling Station can solve this too with their bottles and six packs of beer. Gluten-free? The guys have you covered as well. You can get something beside just cider (which they also have) and beside ginger beer (which they also have) and get some fine gluten-free beer. My favorite is Omission. Now a haiku about the The Filling Station: the first filled growler even the Taproom seems to want a gift from Edo read more
