The Local Nashville Breweries We Can't Get Enough Of
"Panoramic views of and short walks to major attractions downtown are a plus, but the Broadway districts's only brewery draws with 11 beers on tap, delivered from tank to table. Discover tastes from the Southern Flyer, an American light lager, to Earl Grey E.S.B. (Extra Special Bitter) with malt and hop flavors with a dash of Earl Grey English black tea."
"From the happenings of Broadway to the lookout on the Cumberland, Rock Bottom Brewery has a very worthy patio view. Enjoy great pub food and a huge selection of brews as you enjoy downtown Nashville well into the evening!"
"Rock Bottom Nashville boost about fresh, brewed-in-house beer, and Nashville's biggest and best bar and dining patio in the center of the downtown Nashville strip."
"Opened in 2016 by friends and Murfreesboro natives Paul Vaughn and Kavon Togrye, the brewery focuses on hop-forward American styles and barrel-aged beers. Here, you can enjoy a flight with friends in the comfy taproom lounge with its plush antique furniture, speakeasy-style bar, and crystal chandelier. You can also purchase a select variety of mainstays and seasonals in cans to-go, and bring your kids, dogs, and food to the patio."
"Local cool kid brewery Bearded Iris is putting out some of the most sought-after, hop-forward beers in Nashville. Located in Germantown, its original taproom is also its production facility. Although Bearded Iris has successfully dipped its toes in other styles of beer, such as fruited kettle sours, lagers, and pastry stouts, it’s crushing the hop game by cranking out a steady flow of dry-hopped, imperial, and double IPAs."
"East Germantown, one of Nashville’s budding neighborhoods, mixes and matches lofts and warehouses as befits the city’s urban transformation. Comfortably nestled amongst developments new and old is Bearded Iris Brewing, which is itself styled on division. On one side, the taproom, where a classic, speakeasy-style bar holds the center, and on the other, the brewery itself, with all of its equipment open for visitors to see."
"We offer craft beers, British and American grub, burgers, salads, fish and chips, happy hour, poker night, dine-in, curbside pick-up, and much more."
"The internationally recognized makers at Corsair Distillery are always experimenting with something new. With a line-up of more than 25 craft spirits available, including standard and rotating seasonal offerings, they could easily stop exploring and work with what they’ve already made—beverages that have won them more than 40 medals at spirits competitions. But why would they stop?"
"Next up is Fisk - Meharry's Corsair Artisan Distillery, situated at 1200 Clinton St., Suite 110. With 4.5 stars out of 182 reviews on Yelp, the distillery has proven to be a local favorite."

"A staple in Nashville's art scene, Zeitgeist hosts visual artists from all backgrounds. Beyond visual art, the gallery also hosts "indeterminacies" where music and art collide. Tucked in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood, they're a must-see during the neighborhood's monthly Art Crawl."

"More amazing BBQ awaits you at Peg Leg Porker, and a kids’ menu helps make your little ones welcome. This must-try joint is an ideal place to stop if you want to pick up BBQ to take on a picnic or back to your vacation rental for a yummy dinner after a full day. Whether you love tasty ribs, mac and cheese, tender brisket, tangy slaw, or succulent pulled pork, Peg Leg Porker is waiting to keep you happy."
"Those who appreciate a good temple to meat respect pitmaster Carey Bringle’s dedication to the barbecue craft. Dry-rub ribs are the obvious meat move at Peg Leg Porker, but the pulled pork sandwich is another, less messy standard. Pro tips: keep an eye on social media for the call of whole hog being cooked on the front patio, and don’t sleep on the Memphis sushi/cream cheese and pepper jelly combo."
"Nestled on Gleaves St, Peg Leg Porker is possibly one of the best restaurants in Nashville for a good southern BBQ. Open every day except Sunday, it’s the kind of spot you visit when your starving and want to gorge. Once inside, make sure to try their pulled pork platter, it’s so good!"
