Chattanooga Billiards Club F
or the past 35 years, one of the most popular places in downtown Chattanooga has been the Chattanooga Billiards Club, the city’s oldest original location sports bar. Opened in 1982 on Cherry Street, CBC Downtown has long offered the best in food and spirits along with pool tables and dart leagues. Featuring fun, food, and spirits seven days a week, they are conveniently located only minutes from all local area attractions and hotels. And they now offer a smoke-free dining room on the first floor serving lunch and dinner daily (with some very tasty daily lunch specials). And let’s not forget that CBC is home to Chattanooga’s best bartender, the one and only Tommy Stanley. But wait, there’s more. A decade after the downtown location opened, Chattanooga Billiards Club opened a second, much larger location. Tucked in just off of Shallowford Road and Lee Highway on Jordan Drive just four blocks west of I-75 at Exit 5, it is known not only as a place for billiards, darts and good food, but also as a unique location for banquet and conference functions such as business meetings, receptions, reunions or themed events. CBC East features twenty professional Brunswick and Dia-
mond pool tables and a large dart room, along with the same great food and spirits. And both locations cater to daytime and nighttime patrons, staying open to 3 a.m. nightly. And while we could go on and on about the great food, drinks, pool tables and dart boards, CBC East has now opened the city’s newest “beercaid”. The “I’m Game” room combines ‘80s style arcade games, pinball, skee-ball and foosball along with modern X-Box and PlayStation games. Located inside the former Tropicana Room at CBC East, “I’m
Game” is open from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. Tuesday through Sunday, with private and corporate parties on Mondays. All the games use tokens, with just one token needed for most games up to four tokens for the newest, state-of-the-art pinball machines which you have to see to believe. Food, spirits, pool, darts, and now a huge room filled with classic and modern games—what more can you ask for when looking for a great night of entertainment? Come see what CBC has been the gold standard in Chattanooga for decades.
The Scoop Chattanooga's destination for biliards, darts, games, spirits, great food and fun.

Matilda Midnight
I
f you’re looking to spend a night out on the town, enjoying fine dining and unique drinks, look no further than The Dwell Hotel. Inside, you’ll find not only a hotel, but also the recently-revamped restaurant Terra Mae and the eclectically-styled cocktail bar Matilda Midnight, which has undergone some substantial menu additions. Before this month, you could only order tapas and small plates to dine on at Matilda Midnight; now, however, the bar has started serving full plates for their lunch menu. They’ve also revitalized their drink menu to include an allnew list of cocktails boasting extended ingredients, according to Melanie Novack, Marketing Manager at The Dwell Hotel. Some of the drinks new to Matilda Midnight include The Empress (fresh banana vodka, orgeat, and black walnut bitters) and The Moon (Sandeman sherry, muddled blueberry, sweet vermouth, and Campari), among other extravagant choices. Lunch options include the Falafel Sandwich, the Dwell

Salad and Abodo Chicken, to name a few. In addition to the menu changes at Matilda Midnight, there’s also been a newly-renovated space for patrons to socialize and relax in: The Rainbow Room. “We created [the Rainbow Room] to be like a cocktail lounge before you go eat at Terra Mae. We have this new menu that is specifically for the Rainbow Room, and it will have cocktails, beer and tapas,” explained Novack. The space for the Rainbow Room formerly consisted of tables for regular dining, but it’s since been turned into an upbeat, fun and colorful area with couches and chairs to chill in and enjoy your drinks or tapas before venturing to Terra Mae. These new changes at The Dwell Hotel give you the perfect opportunity to come in early for dinner at Terra Mae, order a few drinks and relax in the Rainbow Room before dining and then spend your evening under the stars, sampling some of the delicious new cocktails at Matilda Midnight.

Southern Burger Co. S
tarting out as a local Chattanooga food truck in 2011, Southern Burger Co. has transformed into a food service powerhouse. With its restaurant location stationed in Ooltewah, just minutes from downtown Chattanooga, Southern Burger Co. has become a local staple. The company strives to consistently provide its patrons with delicious food, top class service, and a warm inviting environment for family and friends alike. Taking great pride in the quality of their food, Southern Burger Co. utilizes only the freshest ingredients. They grind their own beef,
cut their own fries, and make all of their sauces in house. What they do not make in house, they use locally sourced goods such as buns from local Nieldov’s Breadworks. Outside of their phenomenal food, environment, and service, Southern Burger Co. hosts weekly events such as College Night on Wednesday and Thursday Pint Night; giving it that social aspect that is often craved by restaurant patrons. They do a fantastic job of getting people in the door, and once inside they are provided with a great experience. The food choices are unmatched. They have all of the fixins’ one
could want for a burger or chicken sandwich. They even offer lean meat bison, and turkey choices for the health minded, and an eggplant option for the vegan munchers; but the all-star selections lie in the traditional burger choices. The stand-out burgers are the Chorizo, Raleigh, and Big & Spicy Burgers. The stand out chicken sandwiches are the Nashville Hot Chicken and the Chicken Philly.
It is often hard to pick, so several visits are the only way to truly experience this outside of the box establishment. With so many cookie cutter restaurants flooding the eatery market, it is often hard to find places that break the mold. Southern Burger Co. has no idea what a mold even is, so it is a safe location for foodies that are looking for great food, and a fresh take on eating out.

Fireside Grille W
hen it comes to Fireside Grille; it’s all about the smoke. At Fireside, they smoke their own barbeque, including pork, brisket, ribs, wings, and even bologna. The juicy, smoky, and tender barbeque from Fireside Grille is sure to make any barbeque lover a repeat customer. And it’s not just the barbecue that keeps customers coming back. High quality steaks and tasty seafood dishes have made Fireside Grille a local favorite for well over a decade. Located on Cummings Highway in Lookout Valley, Fireside Grille was recently taken over by new owners, Gene Cowden (GeneO) and Mike Chapman (Chappy) this
past September. With tons of experience both bartending and managing restaurants, you can tell the new owners know what they’re doing. Gene-O and Chappy, along with their stellar kitchen staff, servers and bartenders, are sure to make your dining and drinking experience both fun and satisfying. One of the best things about Fireside is the variety. Your drink options are endless, with a full service bar that has a large selection of liquor, domestic and imported beer, and a few options on tap. Fireside Grille also has a lot of very diverse food options that include steak, seafood, barbeque, burgers, and salads.

Basically, there is something here for even the pickiest of eaters. Some of Fireside Grille’s specialties are their flat iron steak, grouper basket, smoked buffalo wings, and their daily “meat and three” lunch specials. Fireside Grille isn’t just a place for good food and drinks, but it’s a place to have a heck of a time with old and new friends. You can always count on
some killer karaoke nights during the week, and some live music on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Fireside Grille is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. At Fireside Grille you can always expect consistent food, weekly drink and food specials, and a large variety of liquor and beer.

You are greeted with friendly faces, who immediately make you feel as if it’s your home away from home, where you can sit back, relax and enjoy some good food and drink.
Most people know Brewhaus has great drinks, but their food is great too, especially their flavorful new Sunday brunch. When it comes to food, it’s all about being seasonal. Brewhaus has some very unique dishes, including a German cottage pie, and bangers and mash. The German cottage pie, inspired by the classic shepherds pie has seasoned ground beef and pork, sautéed with onions, peas, carrots, and corn. Topped with a wildly delicious Granny Smith apple mashed potatoes with melted cheese, it’s a culinary experience you won’t soon forget. Brewhaus’s bangers and mash has
34 • THE PULSE • MARCH 16, 2017 • SPRING DRINK GUIDE • CHATTANOOGAPULSE.COM
the same unique Granny Smith apple mash, with two grilled brats all topped with haus-made gravy. These two dishes are more than enough to satisfy anyone interested in trying a classic dish with a German-southern twist. But it wouldn’t be Brewhaus without talking about beer. Brewhaus is all about pairing your hearty and flavorful dishes with a cold brew. At Brewhaus the options are plentiful, affordable,
and ever changing. For St. Patty’s day, Brewhaus will be featuring the local Oddstory red ale. Along with the local Oddstory, you can expect some tasty dry Irish stouts to quench your thirst this St. Patty’s Day. Or if you’re in the mood to try the tasty German bottles available, you can never go wrong with a Schneider Weisse that is smooth, creamy, and has hints of banana.

The Casual Pint W
here Beer Lovers Meet! The Casual Pint Craft Beer Market in Hixson, offers a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere much like a coffee shop, with a focus on Craft Beer. The expert “Beertenders” can serve up Craft Beer by the pint from 30 taps to enjoy in the store, or help you select some for home. Local owners Judy and Dan Kearnaghan, invite you to come in and enjoy a beer and/or dinner with friends, neighbors, and other craft beer enthusiasts. A great pub menu is also available including, Seasonal Beer Soaked Brats, Sidewinder Potatoes with Beer Cheese,
and a selection of wraps and flatbreads. An active weekly schedule commonly includes live music, trivia on Monday nights, pint nights, throughout the week, Brewga, and other fun activities. With 22 quickly rotating taps, the staff works hard to make sure that your last taste of beer is just as fresh as your first taste. The system is a direct draw tap system that has very short lines to prevent beer from sitting in the line too long. The lines are cleaned thoroughly with every keg change and are usually poured into a nucleated pint glass. Best of Local & Best of Craft are two phrases that come to mind when de-
ciding what to choose as you will commonly find great craft beers brewed right here in Chattanooga, as well as the best of craft beers brewed in Tennessee, around the U.S., and around the world. There is even a private room avail-
able for events such as a corporate training, birthday party or just getting together with friends to watch your favorite team. Growler Fills, Mix-A-Six Packs out of a well-stocked bottle & can cooler, or packaged beer is also available to go.
