Flying Squirrel Bar

From ceiling to floor, the Flying Squirrel is a work of art—as is every drink made behind its 40-foot-long wooden bar. Boasting an incredible cedar-and-steel façade, exposed trusses, and dangling star-like lighting fixtures, the Flying Squirrel is a decidedly unique experience. Business partners Dan Rose and Max Poppel broke ground for the Southside’s Crash Pad: An Uncommon Hostel in 2011, and before long (2013), they opened the adjacent Flying Squirrel. You won’t find any televisions or pool tables at the Flying Squirrel, but you will find an open and relaxing environment to focus on socializing and drinking with your friends. Above all, it is a dynamic atmosphere, demonstrated by its ever-changing food and drink menus. The Flying Squirrel uses local ingredients from vendors like Crabtree Farms and Main Street Meats to create distinctive offerings that change with the season. As for the drinks, even The Flying Squirrel’s house martini changes based on seasonally available ingredients, and their drink menu is original and playful without being overly complicated. One popular drink is the Traveling Mule. As the Flying Squirrel’s take on the classic Moscow Mule, it features your choice of vodka, American Born Moonshine, Captain Morgan Rum or Chattanooga Whiskey. This drink also contains Habanero Ginger Beer made by Pure Sodaworks exclusively for the Flying Squirrel. They also use an impressive array of infusions, which, like everything else at the Flying Squirrel, is seasonally based and always fresh. With everything from cucumber-infused vodka to jalapeño-infused tequila to basil-

infused gin, the Flying Squirrel knows how to mix it up. And, of course, the Flying Squirrel loves to represent the Southside with its well-loved Southside Cosmo: orange-infused vodka, cranberry syrup and a dash of lime juice. Another favorite is the cheekily named Son of a Sailor, which features Sailor Jerry Rum, George Dickle Rye and Carpano Antica. Or, if you’re feeling nostalgic, give the Squirrely Temple a try: its cherry-infused vodka, grenadine and lemon soda will leave you thirsty for more. If you’re looking for a local beer, look no further than the Flying Squirrel’s impressive selection of the best craft brews available. Their beer selection is constantly rotating in an effort to offer you nothing but the freshest of beers, and many of their beers have never been tapped anywhere else in the state. Recent menu offerings have included everything from Octupus alla Grecco (made from octopus with onions, red peppers, fennel, garlic and tomato) to Quail Egg Crostini (French green lentils, smoked onion, fennel and Crabtree Farms sorrel) to Duck Tacos (confit duck, cabbage, golden raisin salsa and bacon avocado mousse). Perhaps one of the Flying Squirrel’s most unique features is Sunday Brunch: the only day of the week when they are open to the whole family. Sundays at the Flying Squirrel begin at 10:30 a.m. and continue until 4 p.m. with live music featuring a rotating cast of local musicians. Even the drink menu is different for Sunday Brunch, including delicious mimosas and Bloody Marys. With its local, seasonally based ingredients, it’s hard to beat the Flying Squirrel if you’re looking for a truly Chattanoogan drinking (and eating) experience.

“Their drink menu is original and playful without being overly complicated.”

Kitchen At Union Square

The bar inside Kitchen at Union Square restaurant is situated near the front door. This is a good thing, as it means the bartender will have fewer steps to retrieve some of the ingredients used in Kitchen’s cocktail offerings. The restaurant is already known for prominently featuring food sourced from local farms in their menu, but you might not be aware that the freshest-possibleingredients theme also extends to the bar. According to General Manager Eve Markowicz, herbs grown in the garden in front of the restaurant are used in their Signature Cocktails. One example is the Stone Fruit. “We start with Four Roses, which is a wonderful bourbon. We use fresh peach puree, lemon juice and we muddle mint from the garden,” explains Markowicz. Muddling, she says, helps release the oils and flavor of the herbs. A tequila-based martini called the Pepino is another beneficiary of the front garden. Using Jose Cuervo tequila as a base, the staff at Kitchen add fresh pineapple juice, cucumber and run out to the garden for some fresh basil. A cucumber-sage martini uses Hendrick’s Gin, cucumber and muddled sage picked fresh from the garden. And the Sangria, served by the liter at Kitchen, also uses fresh herbs. While Markowicz doesn’t grow pumpkins in her garden, she did roast a 15-pound specimen recently and enlisted the help of Chef Gauthier to create a pumpkin spice ingredient to be used in a new concoction. They pureed the roasted gourd, then strained and reduced it

to a potent liquid. With that effort, the Pumpkin Spice Martini was born. “It’s basically October in a glass,” says Markowicz, who describes the cocktail as having a pumpkin-whiskey base with the pumpkin puree, a little cream and a little brown sugar simple syrup. This kind of imagination when it comes to creating new cocktails is now a hallmark of Kitchen at Union Square in a program called Bartender’s Choice. The head bartender and staff will come up with a series of new cocktails or will think of ways to put a new Kitchen at Union Square twist on an existing recipe. This outside-the-box thinking also extends to their wine list with “Wines We Love.” According to Markowicz, she will pick wines (by the glass or by the bottle) the restaurant would like to feature, pair them with entrees and offer them as a package. It’s a continuance of something the restaurant has done successfully before. Twice since its opening, the restaurant has hosted “Wine Nights,” in which guests are treated to a threecourse meal with three different wines, each paired to a specific food. Both sold out and left diners with a new appreciation of the art of choosing the right wine for a meal. In fact, the wine nights were so successful, that starting October 6, every Monday will be a wine night. Diners will be treated to a different three-course meal each week with three specially selected wines. The $30 deal will sell out fast—reservations are highly recommended.

“This kind of imagination when it comes to creating new cocktails is now a hallmark of Kitchen at Union Square.”

Hair of the Dog

Enter The Hair of the Dog’s door, painted as the Union Jack at 334 Market Street, and you enter not only Chattanooga’s English pub, but Chattanooga’s local pub. In “On The Road,” Jack Kerouac lamented, “An ideal bar is something that’s gone beyond our ken. In nineteen ten a bar was a place where men went to meet during or after work, and all there was were a long counter, brass rails, spittoons, player piano for music, a few mirrors, and barrels of whiskey at ten cents a shot together with barrels of beer at five cents a mug.” But the description “ideal bar” could be of Hair of the Dog, for owner Matt Lewis worked hard at making his pub welcoming, like the bars of 1910. He planned this pub for 10 years. “In Europe,” he says, “they’re far less specific whether it’s a restaurant or a bar. It’s your all-purpose meeting place.” Lewis said he wanted 28 • The Pulse • fall drink 2014 • chattanoogapulse.com

to create a place where a Chattanoogan could “both afford it and enjoy it,” a neighborhood pub in an urban setting. Dark wood panels the walls. Iron work gives it an Old World feel. The pub staff use a dumbwaiter to haul food to the second floor. Lewis hung dartboards on the walls, put in pool tables and installed a jukebox. Highlife is the house beer. The list Hair of the Dog offers includes over 50 beers, a list started when the craft beer movement was just getting underway, and created when only a couple of other restaurants carried such a selection. Many who frequent Hair of the Dog come for the food. What would an English pub be if it didn’t serve fish and chips? But Hair of the Dog also offers “new age” pub food, such as sliders and quesadillas. Added up, “to us, that’s what a pub means,” Lewis says. Come on by and find out for yourself.

The Honest Pint More irish whiskey More irish beers on tap

More local music More feasting and fun times

An Irish pub is a place someone goes to bask in Irish culture. And it cannot have the Irish stamp of approval unless some requirements are met. “People want very specific things in an Irish pub,” says The Honest Pint owner Matt Lewis. The Honest Pint breaths an Ould Sod flair even before a patron pushes past the wide, wooden doors. It begins with the walls of natural stone, accented with red windows. The “Irishness” is not a façade. Irish beers like Guinness and Harp flow from its spigots and 10 Irish whiskeys, like Kilbeggan and 2 Gingers, stand by to whet throats. The Pint puts its own twist on Irish food. Shepherd’s pie becomes “Herder’s Pie” because the pub uses lamb, says Lewis. Putting a modern twist on Irish food is why the pub fries tater tots in duck fat. “We wanted to do tater tots, but we wanted them to be memorable,” says Lewis.

One of the biggest differences between an Irish pub and an English one is the live music, according to Lewis. And so, the Honest Pint is the place to hear the local bands. House band The Molly Maguires play the last Sunday of every month as part of their Sunday night regular lineup. But Lewis says the venue is also the place to listen to local acts like The 9th Street Stompers, Chattanooga’s swing and blues band, and old-time string bands. On Thursday, the electric guitars are plugged into the amps and rock rules. Lewis wants The Honest Pint to be the place to hear local music, but he also books bands from Atlanta and Nashville. A friendly wait staff, says Lewis, also helps the Honest Pint creates an Irish vibe. Those who frequent Irish bars are loyal, returning again and again. And for those who loyally seek a piece of the Emerald Isle, “This is where they’ll find it.”

Beast + Barrel

Let’s be clear about what Beast + Barrel is not. It is not just another barbecue joint, nor does it dish up everyday food. Its mission is to push the boundaries of food culture in the city. Opened in April, the Northshore “gastro-smokehouse” located at 16 Frazier Avenue specializes in meats and charcuterie. The idea of a gastropub was “born out of the idea that bars were rough and grimy hangouts,” says Beast + Barrel owner Matt Lewis. With Beast + Barrel, the restaurateur created an upscale restaurant specializing in house-cured meats and charcuterie, the art of preparing meat in ways historically used to preserve it. And the restaurant pushs the boundary on what can be done with a beast, serving up bold flavors in its dishes. Not only does B + B smoke its meats, but it throws veggies in the smoker. It even produces smoked ice. The staff of Beast + Barrel includes a pit master for the smoker, butchers, a cold-side chef and a bar chef. The chefs highlight the “flavor profiles of meat,” trying new combinations and new ways of presenting. It’s hard to tell exactly where Beast + Barrel draws its inspiration, says Lewis. Some of it is Southern cooking—but it also draws from the Jewish delis of New York City, and the meat-curing tradition of Italy. It offers its version of a Philly Cheesesteak, first created in the City of Brotherly Love, and a Reuben-style house pastrami sandwich, named “The Big Katz” in honor of the NYC deli where one scene from the movie “When

Harry Met Sally” was filmed. Lewis said the restaurant tries to be approachable, food-wise. Yes, it’s fine dining, but it’s not a restaurant only for special occasions. Its crab cakes are “very approachable,” but the B + B menu bridges out into adventure, with offerings like bone marrow, something that’s “super healthy, good for you,” Lewis says. On Sunday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the restaurant serves brunch. During that time, it offers its version of “Southern comfort” food, like eggs benedict served, instead of on an English muffin, on a piece of grilled cornbread. For drinks, Beast + Barrel has a Bloody Mary bar and a “Bubbles Bar” that mixes up mimosas and bellinis. Every day, Beast + Barrel hosts happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m., featuring drink and food specials at prices ranging from $3 to $6. And while every watering hole in the city has beer on tap—only Beast + Barrel offers tapped wine, six wines, to be exact. The staff at the restaurant is professional, Lewis emphasizes. They are all about their craft and B + B focuses on what the chefs and bar chefs create, from the classic cocktails to the rib-eye steaks, which are butchered in-house. “If I were traveling to Chattanooga, this is the kind of place I’d want to go,” says Lewis. Multiple gastro-pubs dot other cities, such as Nashville and Atlanta. The addition of Beast + Barrel adds to the growing culinary sophistication of this city, he says.

“Yes, it’s fine dining, but it’s not a restaurant only for special occasions.”

From its wings to its drinks to its karaoke, Sing It or Wing It has everything for a fun night out with friends. As Chattanooga’s unofficial karaoke headquarters, it’s the city’s only restaurant where you can karaoke anytime. The stage is open to anyone, from talented locals to nervous first timers, but Sing It or Wing It has played host to several celebrities like Lauren Alaina, Brantley Gilbert, Big Time Rush, and B.o.B., to name a few. If it’s your first time singing and you need a little liquid courage, the bartender at Sing It or Wing It has your back with more than 60 bottled beers, a dozen drafts, and a diverse wine selection. Be sure to try out their famous 18-oz. fishbowls, especially crowd favorite Long Island Iced Tea fishbowl. Sing It or Wing It is famous for its wings, which are smoked and grilled instead of fried. Try their new Honey BBQ wings or check out the

popular One Hit Wonder sauce, which is a delicious combination of sweet and heat. If wings aren’t your thing, give the burgers a try. Sing It or Wing It serves 8-oz. Black Angus burgers that are always hand pattied and never frozen. On Sundays, treat yourself to Sing It or Wing It’s delicious brunch. With a menu including Etta’s Eggs Benedict (English muffins, Canadian bacon, and poached eggs with hollandaise sauce), Hank Hams It Up (country ham, scrambled eggs, home fries, and a side of toast or bacon), and Eggistential Elvis (scrambled eggs, a side of bacon, home fries and toast), there’s something for every member of the family. Enjoy your brunch to the fullest by sampling the Bloody Mary and mimosas bar. Stop by Sing It or Wing It any day of the week (except Monday) to join the party—and don’t forget your singing voice.

Southern Burger C0. Southern Burger Co. in Ooltewah has built a reputation on an innovative and tantalizing menu, the highest level of quality in the ingredients they use, an immaculate and attractive building and a friendly and efficient staff. Those elements already make Southern Burger stand out in a crowd and yet there’s more…In an era when microbreweries and regional beers are the trend, Southern Burger has managed to stay ahead of the curve. Tucked away in the Cambridge Square development at the corner of Ooltewah-Georgetown Road and Lee Highway, Southern Burger features a selection of beer unmatched by anyone in the area. Christian Siler won’t say, “I told you so,” but it’s hard to miss his grin as he relates how he was warned, “No one in Collegedale or Ooltewah is going to drink anything but Bud, Bud Light and Miller.” The restaurant’s ever-expanding following of loyal customers and aficionados of fine brews says otherwise.

trivia

Southern Burger boasts four nitrous-charged taps (more than anyone else in town) for the purveyors of favorites like Guinness and Founder’s Oatmeal Stout. Nine standard taps bring the draft selection to 13. The restaurant also features over 40 different bottles, including stouts, bocks, ales, lagers, Hefeweizens, porters and IPAs. On Tuesdays (one of Southern Burger’s two free trivia nights) pitchers are $5. On Thursdays, they celebrate “Pint Night,” when customers can have a pint of the “beer of the month” for $3 and get to take home the glass. Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday from 2 to 6 p.m. and features half-price drafts and half-price appetizers. Siler intimates that the one problem with the upcoming Oktoberfest celebration is that it’s over too soon. So, Southern Burger will be extending the holiday to “Novemberfest” on November 1. For more details on the event, follow Southern Burger Co. on their Facebook page or better yet, stop in for a beer and a burger.

Brewhaus Brewpub Northshore’s Brewhaus is Chattanooga’s favorite German-American pub. After celebrating its three-year anniversary on September 17, Brewhous is moving forward at full speed. A new cocktail menu just rolled out. Now you can try the Blueberry Smash or a bacon Bloody Mary titled “The Boar.” Come in on Tuesdays for trivia nights or Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. to listen to local musician Danimal play live. Mondays bring you $3 half-liter drafts, and the drafts are constantly in rotation. If you sit at the bar for half an hour, you’ll probably see a tap or two switched out. Along with its great draft selection, Brewhaus has outstanding German food—schnitzels, bratwursts, spaetzles. The pub’s got a killer view outside on the deck. There’s not much better than downing a draft, eating a brat, and looking down at the greenery of Coolidge Park and the not-so-distant moun-

tains in the background. Oktoberfest started September 20, and Brewhaus is rotating Oktoberfest drafts. There will be a party in the parking lot on October 11 to finish the fest—party sponsored by Samuel Adams. Beer trucks and live German polka music will kick things off. A stein-holding contest will be held around 9 p.m. and anyone’s free to enter. Specialized T-shirts and steins will be available all night, alongside, of course, a star lineup of Oktoberfest brews. Local band Function With A “C’” will be playing from 8 - 11:30 p.m. Brewhaus manages to be both familiar and unique at the same time. You won’t find this kind of food or this selection of beer anywhere else. When you sit down, you feel at home, except home doesn’t have juicy brats and fresh craft brews. Brewhaus is the pub you need to try, and Oktoberfest is the perfect time to visit.

Grocery Bar Grocery Bar—a local store on Chattanooga’s Southside—is a chef-driven grocery and café that exists to empower home cooks with local, seasonal ingredients and provides a place to gather around fresh, delicious food. “The store offers something for everyone,” says General Manager Eric Landrum. A favorite hangout for the local lunch crowd, Grocery Bar is also the best place to start your evening—enjoy a bottle of wine from the Wine Shop on the patio or a bucket of beer with colleagues after a long day’s work. Purchase wine and beer at retail prices (about 1/3 of what you’d pay at any bar or restaurant) and enjoy them with friends and a full meal in the café or on the patio. The extensive beer selection—available

in singles or six packs—offers great pairing options whether you’re enjoying their housemade sushi, New York Style Pizza or smoked chicken wings. The kitchen recently expanded its menu, which includes made-to-order breakfast, lunch and dinner along with appetizers and a selection of kid-friendly plates. Not to be missed are their fresh-made 100% Organic juices. Grocery Bar is both a food hub that anchors the Southside on Main Street between Broad and Market and a destination for out-of-town foodies or those heading home to one of Chattanooga’s nearby mountains or suburbs. It’s more than just a grocery store—it’s Chattanooga’s local place to gather around deliciously simple food and drinks. Let’s meet for groceries.

Heaven & Ale

Heaven & Ale has quickly become one of the hottest craft beer destinations in Chattanooga. It’s a combination tasting room and retail shop with 24 carefully selected craft brews on tap, which rotate regularly to focus on freshness, seasonality, and variety. When owner Joe Winland created his tasting room and growler shop concept, his primary goal was to give customers the opportunity to sample a variety of beers in the spirit of a wine tasting room, and to allow people to taste the beer before buying to ensure they are taking home something they love. But since opening in July of last year, the hip-but-casual atmosphere has actually made the tasting room more of a destination than Joe ever anticipated. People may come in because they need a growler refill, but they almost always stick around for a flight or a pint. And with a recently-added deck and spacious beer garden, more and more people are heading to Heaven & Ale for flights, pints, and a comfortable outdoor space to enjoy them in. 42 • The Pulse • fall drink 2014 • chattanoogapulse.com

So what’s a growler and why drink beer this way? “A growler is a 32- or 64-oz reusable container for draught beer,” Joe says, “and because our beer is always fresh and our growlers are properly treated, it’s as close to a tasting experience in a brewery’s taproom as you can get. I think I’m like a lot of beer drinkers,” Joe adds, “when I’m given a choice, I almost always choose draught beer. Growlers let you take fresh draught beer anywhere.” Another thing that keeps Heaven & Ale customers coming back is the staff’s sheer enthusiasm for craft beer and the pride they take in serving it. When Joe and his staff are recommending selections to beer lovers new and old, their passion for craft beer is evident and contagious. And the meticulous care that Heaven & Ale puts into filling growlers is unparalleled in Chattanooga. Events to look out for at Heaven & Ale are Tuesday night pint nights, with deeply discounted pints and food trucks; brewery tap takeovers, with specialty brews, giveaways, and lots of craft beer chat; and seasonal beer-pairing dinners.

Terminal Brewhouse

The Terminal Brewhouse Craft beer. Crafty food. 6 E 14th St. (423) 6 E 14th St terminalbrewhouse.com

Every time The Terminal Brewhouse owner Matt Lewis visits a different city, he looks for local beer. “’Hey, what’s the local brewery?’” I ask that when I go out of town,” he says. “We wanted to fill that spot [in Chattanooga].” Before The Terminal became a fixture on the local scene, Chattanooga already had a couple of craft breweries, but Lewis said The Terminal’s mission is to make traditional beers as good as possible. “We’re just trying to make Chattanooga happy,” he says. Enter the building on No. 6 14th Street, next door to the Chattanooga Choo Choo, and you’ll see the large, steel vats of fermenting beer. The Terminal’s version of a Belgan White is the most popular beer, with the Southsidenstein Stout and Magnum PA (their West Coast IPA) following closely behind. But Lewis’ favorite drink at Terminal? It’s their version of American pale ale, Terminally Ale. It has just the right amount of malt backbone and plenty of hops, according to Lewis. Lewis likes it, in part, because it’s a “session beer,” a beer where someone can drink a few and not destroy their taste buds or get too tipsy. The building that houses The Terminal has a history of its own. It once a hotel that boarded travelers using the train station next door, owned by a man who worked on the railroad. But the building fell into disrepair. When Lewis and his fellow business partners acquired it, it was on the demolition list. They had, essentially, bought three walls and a basement full of debris.

Once the picture of urban decay, the building is now a gorgeous example of urban renewal. The aged brick walls remain, but sunlight filters through the glass whiskey bottles at the bar. The moist air smells of wheat and the twang of country plays over the hustle and bustle of the brewpub. “A brewpub to me is a small, local place that brews beer,” Lewis says. But The Terminal is more than just a brewpub. It is also a restaurant, a deliberate choice on the part of Lewis, as few restaurants operated on the Southside when it first opened. It features a kids’ menu, and the adult menu splits itself evenly between lunch and dinner offerings. Lewis says the bison burger is popular, as is the lamb burger, billed as a “Philosopher’s Burger.” And what’s a brewpub without its pizza? Like most of The Terminal’s food, the pizza ingredients are locally sourced, the dough from Niedlov’s Bakery. The tender dough gives the pizza that yeasty, wheaty flavor that any pizza pie coming out of New York City would be proud to have. To add to its pizza offerings, The Terminal creates stuffed sandwiches, “a smaller, more grabbable calzone,” Lewis says. For its fine-dining options, The Terminal also offers dishes like pepper-smashed steak and salmon cakes. With its food, drink, and popularity with regulars and people visiting Chattanooga, The Terminal Brewhouse has become as much part of Chattanooga’s identity as a Chattanooga locomotive.
