Fantastic selection of beers, and the owner was really helpful in offering suggestions and answering questions. The atmosphere had some nice character and felt cozy. This is the kind of place I could find myself frequenting if I lived in Memphis.

Kevin and David are great people with great taste in beer. My recommendation for going to this place - get to know Kevin and David. Chat with them when theyre not busy! Theyve really gotten to know my husbands and my very different taste in beer. I am pretty much 110% comfortable taking their recommendations without even looking at the menu.If youre looking for more info about this awesome place - mostly a great place to drink. Order at the counter and bring it to an indoor or outdoor table. Specializes in awesome local beers, but also serve liquors, I think wines, and canned sparkling seltzers. They have great snacks that span from light chips or nuts to great sandwiches, but its probably not a dinner destination, mostly just stuff to keep your stomach from rumbling while you drink. Only one bathroom, so dont wait too long in case there is a wait, but its clean. Nice people. Nice customers. Most importantly, nice beer.

Smal bar with a very good selection of beers and a small food menu with good options to choose from. I really like the presentation of their taster flights. On the night I visited the beers where changing so quickly they could hardly keep up with changing the board. The staff was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.

Great local spot for beer with an excellent selection. Walking distance to restaurants and a custom soap shop. Staff were very knowledgeable and provided wonderful service.

Low key & brilliant!! This is the kind of place Ive been looking for back in Louisiana. Music just loud enough to prevent awkward silence... environment just dark enough to be comfortable without being so dark you dont see who youre talking to... its the perfect place to unwind after dinner with a friend or two. The guys running the place were very gentlemanly, funny, and kind. If I lived in Memphis, I would definitely frequent this spot. Cheers! 🍻

Incredibly underrated, cozy spot in Memphis to enjoy fantastic craft beer. We love this place and are always surprised it is not more packed with people. Great way to visit all the Memphis breweries in one spot, plus sample beer youve never had. Great patio and solid selection of snacks to soak up the buzz a little. Highly recommended!

One of my favorite places to try local beers and some great food. Atmosphere is fantastic and the patio is the place to be in warmer months. Pimiento grilled cheese is the bomb but be sure to look on the board as the food options change occasionally. They do offer tasters if you just want to try something.

Excellent place to kick back with friends. Their patio area always has somewhere you can sit and relax...very dog friendly which is a huge plus for my wife and I. Great bartenders, great people. 👍🏽👍🏽

This place is really great. They have a large beer selection- 10-12 taps at least. The staff are very knowledgeable about the different beers and can help you try something new. They also will fill up a growler. The food selection is limited but its really good. Ive never had a bad meal there. The atmosphere is also great inside and out. They usually have a game on playing inside and they have an outdoor patio. Prices are also great, I have recommended it many times and never had anyone tell me they had a bad experience.

Lovely small space with about 25 different beers on tap. A limited food menu but so far, everything Ive tried as been delicious. Friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. Im part of a planning committee that meets there once a week now just because of the service, food and beer.

Solid beers, chill atmosphere, nice beertenders, dog friendly patio- what more could you ask for? Maybe some sort of shade for the patio, but hey, you can always have it all. Cheers!

Nice little (literally) place to taste test a wide variety of local beer. If you have someone to drive or get an Uber then you could get a better opportunity to enjoy more with one visit because there are a lot of beers to try.

Staff was an awesome mix of smart ass and friendly, the flight was a great idea to try several beers, and that pimento grilled cheese was awesome. My only request would be more vegarian options, but I know thats an niche thing.
