TerraMáe Appalachian Bistro

TerraMáe Appalachian Bistro Sophisticated Regional Cuisine featuring local ingredients.

122 East 10th Street (423) 710-2925 terramaechattanooga.com

When you order a cocktail from TerraMae Appalachian Bistro, you get more than just a glass of alcohol mixed with some complementary ingredients. You get a taste of Southern culture served with a side of history.

Head Bartender Justin Stamper elevates the basic Bourbon bar by experimenting with different ingredients to prepare delicious craft cocktails that evoke a sense of the season. The drink list offers a variety of flavors that create a unique experience and recall sensations such as eating smoked foods at a neighborhood barbeque.

His drink inspirations come from many sources, naming a mid-year cocktail after a summer constellation visible in the Southern sky, or from the names of songs heard on the radio while lost on backroads trying to find his way back from bartending a wedding in Alabama. “Ramble,” for example, is a cocktail he envisioned while listening to the Allman Brothers’ classic “Ramblin’ Man” in his car on such a drive.

TerraMae’s restaurant, led by Executive Chef Shelley Cooper, is known for frequently changing its menu based on the availability of fresh ingredients, as well as inspirations derived from her experiences traveling the globe to taste the foods of other cultures.

Stamper keeps this in mind when developing the cocktail platform. He says the restaurant experience with Cooper is the best he’s ever had

22 • The Pulse • drink • Spring/Summer 2014 • chattanoogapulse.com

because of the inherent responsiveness to the best ingredients available and the constant reinvention of classic dishes. If a customer asks for a recommendation, his first question will be, “What are you are planning to eat?” Every cocktail on the drink list aims to complement a flavor profile.

TerraMae cocktails accent the restaurant’s familiar cuisine with a worldly twist while also highlighting its culture and history. When you order a margarita, you won’t get something contrived from a pre-packaged mix with too much sugar to mask a cheap liquor.

Stamper will describe how bartenders historically prepared the cocktails in a way that is deeply informed yet never pretentious, and the cocktail itself will be infused with its origins. The staff prides itself on product knowledge and sharing stories to advance the cocktail culture, one sip at a time.

Stamper says, “Creativity, accessibility and palatability are the key concepts driving the bar operations at TerraMae.” First and foremost, it is a Bourbon bar, but it transcends that simple description, incorporating botanical ingredients plucked from the patio or fresh melons from TerraMae’s dedicated farm outside of Nashville. Put simply, it’s a place where you can feel comfortable enjoying a cocktail with friends on a long, hot summer day but also leave having experienced new and inspired flavors.

The Big Chill & Grill When it comes to drinks, The Big Chill and Grill has a multiple-page menu that covers—well, just about everything. Yet mixed drinks aren’t the only specialty of the bar.

The Big Chill and Grill is the place to go if you’re looking for some Southern comfort food.

Now located on Cherokee Boulevard, The Big Chill and Grill has not only has grown in size, but also features extended food offerings. The “semi-famous” Chicken Salad Melter, a house-made chicken salad sandwich served on sourdough bread with melted cheddar on both sides, is a popular choice.

The menu also features items like country-fried streak, chicken-fried chicken, and fillets served with hollandaise sauce. Everything is homemade, including their sauces and gravies.

Three popular beverages are their sangrias, the Bush Whacker, a frozen cross between a White Russian and a Mudslide, and the St. Croix Joy, made with pure grain alcohol. Featuring 15 flavors, from strawberry to mango, The Big Chill and Grill also specializes in delicious frozen daiquiris.

The Big Chill and Grill also caters to beer drinkers. With 20 drafts, their beer selection includes a variety of lagers,

porters, IPAs, and craft beers like Left Hand Milk Stout and Sweetwater 420.

After a long day at the office, stop by The Big Chill and Grill and chill. Happy Hour is every day from 4-8 p.m. Domestic beer bottles are $1.50 on Wednesday night and Miller Light drafts are $1 on Sunday night.

Music isn’t the only event happening at The Big Chill

and Grill. On Thursday nights, at 8 p.m., try your hand at trivia with Club Quiz.

The Honest Pint More irish whiskey More irish beers on tap

More local music More feasting and fun times The Classic

Irish Pub reinvented

OPEN MONDAY - SUNDAY 11AM - 2PM 35 patten parkway | thehonestpint.com | 423-468-4192 facebook.com/thehonestpint

24 • The Pulse • drink • Spring/Summer 2014 • chattanoogapulse.com

One of four local haunts (along with Hair of the Dog, Terminal Brewhouse, and the brand-new Beast + Barrel) owned by Ryan Chilcoat, Geoff Tarr, and Matt Lewis, The Honest Pint is, as Lewis calls it, “an Irish pub in a New World setting.”

That setting is the former Parkway Billiards space on Patten Parkway.

Lewis and his partners transformed the former dive-y poolhall into a gorgeous pub, replete with custom woodworking, bold balconies and dueling grand chandeliers. Foodies, beer lovers, whiskey lovers, and, of course, hibernophiles pop into the Pint for a touch of Dublin in the Scenic City.

The Pint’s menu is filled with Irish-influenced modern dishes, from the colcannon, boxty, and pimento cheese fritters, to house corned beef—found in both the scrumptious Sully’s nachos and one of Chattanooga’s best reubens—and the otherworldly pomme tots, which are fried in duck fat and served with three dipping sauces.

The full (and then some) bar features an impressive selection of Irish whiskeys and Irish draft beers, a 22-oz. bomber list, house-infused liquors, specialty Bloody Marys on the weekends, proper pours, and a

professional bar staff who can make any classic or neoclassic cocktail you’ve ever heard of—and many you haven’t. Well drinks are always $4, and you can get PBR on draft for $2.50.

Lewis and co. are strong supporters of local music, and have strived to pair the city’s premiere local acts with the likes of Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, The Features, Dead Confederate, and other top regional and national artists who’ve graced the stage at the Pint.

“We truly appreciate being able to offer local musicians a place to play and build their audience,” says Lewis. “We want to help them succeed and we hope that will help us succeed also.”

You can catch live music at The Pint every Thursday night at 9 p.m., live dinner music Sundays at 7 p.m., open mic Wednesdays at 7 p.m., and test your knowledge at pub quiz on Sundays at 4 p.m.

Seriously, though, try the tots. And take your time. The kitchen doesn’t close until 1:30 a.m.

Beast + Barrel

Owners of the Hair of the Dog, the Honest Pint and the Terminal recently introduced a new venture to Chattanooga: Beast + Barrel. Opened in April, Chattanooga’s first gastro smokehouse offers an atmosphere and menu that are both impressive and unassuming, providing Chattanoogans with an “elevated” pub experience, as co-owner Matt Lewis describes it.

The space—with décor that incorporates industrial, modern and luxurious elements—is at once elegant and relaxed. The owners have managed to create a space in which both tux and cut-off jeans (patrons’ choice) seem appropriate.

Beast + Barrel’s best asset, however, is the menu. As the name suggests, the unique, French-influenced menu is focused on charcuterie and craft spirits, beer and wine.

Matt believes that bartending is a notable profession to be taken very seriously—and they do. “Our bartenders enjoy crafting drinks,” he says. True to the belief in craft products, there are several spirits aging in-house, a long list of craft cocktails consisting of both “old-school, preProhibition-style” drinks and modern variations, and all juices and bitters are made fresh. The substantial beer

list includes 12 beers on tap, six of which are from Tennessee, as well as many bottled domestics and imports.

An equally extensive list of more than 50 wines also includes six wines on tap.

The talented kitchen staff is no less passionate, says Matt. All meats are cured in-house and as many locally sourced ingredients as possible as used. Even condiments are made from scratch. Like the décor, the creative menu is a blend of class and comfort, offering an array of delicious and unique dishes, such as roasted marrow, a pastrami salmon BLT and a chickpea burger (yes, even vegetarians are at home here). “We want people to come in with high expectations and to want to know what we’re doing,” he says.

To top off the many reasons to visit Beast + Barrel, there is Happy Hour Monday through Thursday from 3 to 6 pm, during which time selected drinks and food items are more than 50 percent off, and guests in the bar area get their fill of the “popcorn of the day” for free. So why wait?

Come. Eat. Drink. And be merry.

Hair of the Dog Hair of the Dog Pub is a bit of a dichotomy. It’s a quintessential Englishstyle neighborhood pub, yet it’s set on the corner of Market and 4th streets, smack dab in the middle of one of the most touristy parts of town. It’s also, as Matt Lewis, one of the pub’s owners, points out, “both masculine and refined” and “clean but with a worn-in feel.”

Above all else, though, Hair of the Dog is very homey, welcoming, and affordable. A diverse range of folks ages 21 to 91 come from all over— whether to just chill for a minute over a cold beverage or to spend the night hanging out on the back patio.

The staff is quick and knowledgeable. Not sure which beer you want?

They’ll walk you through the choices.

Want to buy a round for some friends upstairs? They’ll send it up on the (very cool) dumbwaiter.

Hair of the Dog has a full bar with a great domestic craft and import beer selection, a small (but good) wine selection, and premium liquors. They offer mixed draughts, half-priced wines on Thursday, and $3.50 well drinks and $2.50 High Life drafts all the time. There’s no live music—conversation is big at the HOTD as a result—but they do have a “pint night” glassware giveaway on Tuesday nights and pub quiz every Wednesday at 9 p.m.

The menu consists of elevated

26 • The Pulse • drink • Spring/Summer 2014 • chattanoogapulse.com

(read: really, really good) pub food, including fish and chips, beer cheese soup, buffarolls, burgers, sliders, pitas, salads, sandwiches, and a whole slew of entrees. They offer weekly specials, locally sourced sides and proteins, and, of course, Sunday brunch, complete with discounted mimosas and bottles of champagne, as well as a Bloody Mary bar.

Pro tip: Get the reuben rolls. And come for dinner during the week. It’s not as crowded then.

Moccasin Bend Brewing Co.

MOCCASIN BEND BREWING CO.

In January, Moccasin Bend Brewing Company closed. As the doors were shutting at its 4015 Tennessee Avenue location, brewer Chris Hunt threw out a request on Kickstarter: If the people of Chattanooga could fund the micro-brewery to the tune of $20,000, MBBC could continue to brew.

The Kickstater campaign worked.

And the door at the former K-ration packaging plant has been open for the last few weeks. More than that, MBBC has roared back in a larger version of its previous self. The rebirth of Moccasin Bend comes with double its former production capacity. Hunt ssys, “We now have enough volume to do some packing,” shipping out Moccasin’s brews.

The reopening comes with work done on the interior, increased seating, renovated bathrooms, and the micro-brewery is looking to serve food alongside its drinks. But the beer is where the two brewers try to keep up the most buzz. Unlike German brewers who, by law, must stick to combinations of hops, barley, yeast and water, Hunt and Guy explore the limits of brewing. Hunt likes

to think Moccasin Bend is the most innovative brewery in town. “We want to try anything,” Hunt said. “We get excited over the possibilities.”

Take, for example, its German-style Berliner Weisse. Hunt describes the drink as a refreshing, summertime beer. “It’s orange in a glass,” he said.

Brewed in the springtime, the beer uses the same probiotic bacteria as yogurt, which is unusual because brewers usually try to discourage that type of bacteria from working in their brews, Hunt said. On the other end of the spectrum, MBBC has created “The Dozer,” an explosion of hoppy flavor that will “obliterate your taste buds. But not everybody is ready for that,” Hunt said. Of course, MBBC will continue to offer its favorites, like the Lookout Mountain Lager.

Moccasin Bend is open Monday through Friday from 6 p.m. to midnight. On Saturday, it opens from 1 p.m. to midnight and Sunday from 2 p.m. until midnight.

Chattanooga Brewing Co.

The old Chattanooga Brewing Company mainly focused on selling growlers and kegs to restaurants, but the new location, which opened about a month ago on Chestnut St., is bringing about change.

It’s a brewery first and a restaurant second, but Chattanooga Brewing Company features a full menu of bar food. Simply put, they are “pub grub done right” and “quality food done simply”.

Offering local food, their menu consists of dishes like the pretzel with beer cheese, and the Rivers Sandwich, noted for its Vidalia onion jam, that, when paired with bacon, gives the sandwich a sweet and salty taste.

Chattanooga Brewing Company mainly sees itself as a brewery.

With ten taps downstairs and three upstairs, they have a variety of German-, English-, and American-style beers. Those on tap include Imperial Pilsner, Two Taverns Pale Ale, Hill City IPA, and Hill City Stout.

CBC rotates their beer selection throughout the year. The newest addition is the Chestnut St. Brown Ale. This new selection has been a favorite choice. Additionally, their Black Lager is making a summer appearance. Usually available only in winter, it will be back by popular de-

28 • The Pulse • drink • Spring/Summer 2014 • chattanoogapulse.com

mand in a few weeks.

Chattanooga Brewing Company is a great spot for anyone looking to hang out, whether it’s to catch up with friends, or watch the game on one of the couches upstairs. Soon, customers will be able to drop by to play a board game or work a puzzle.

For out-of-town visitors or those who enjoy spending time outdoors, the brewery will also soon add a brewery library, filled with local works, books on Chattanooga history, and outdoor books like trail guides and hiking maps.

CBC is located across the street from Finley Stadium, and during football and soccer seasons, offers $3 pints and $5 Pretzels and Beer Cheese when the games are playing. And for World Cup fans, they have “futball” specials as well. They also have racks for those traveling on bikes, and occasionally offer “meetups”, where bike riders ride up to the brewery, meet up and have a beer.

Bring your friends and family out to Chattanooga Brewing Company and enjoy some of Chattanooga’s best beer and food.

212 Market Restaurant When you think of 212 Market Restaurant, many things come to mind: Delicious, locally sourced food.

Upscale yet accessible atmosphere. Knowledgeable and engaging staff. Dedication to sustainability and green business practices. Enormous wine list. The many wine dinners, cooking classes, tastings, benefits, and other events 212 hosts each year.

One aspect of 212 that’s often overlooked, however, is its bar. Described by manager Jesse Pyron as a “locals bar for non-locals,” it serves as the home bar for a stream of regulars from around the city, as well as the home bar-away-from-home for a growing number of business travelers.

212’s bartenders are experts about the food menu, as well as which wines, liquors, and beers to pair with it. And they make a killer drink, too.

They tend to a generous selection of single-malt and blended scotches, small-batch whiskies, cognacs, and brandies. They’ve responded to an increased demand for regional and craft beers, and offer a rotating assortment of seasonal specialty drinks. And

then there’s that wine list. The winner of Wine Spectator’s annual “Award of Excellence” each year for more than a decade, 212 carries more varieties than you could ever possibly try—more than 350 wines in total—with select bottles and glasses half off on Tuesday nights.

If you can’t find a spot around the cozy bar, grab one of the nearby tables for a front-row seat for 212’s live Friday-night music offerings or jazz brunch with the Dave Walters Trio every third Sunday of the month.

Twenty-two years ago, many folks thought owners Maggie, Susan, and Sally Moses were crazy to open a fine-dining restaurant in a such a then-sketchy part of town. And for 22 years, they’ve been proving those critics wrong.

The next time you stop by, raise a glass to them.

In February, the new kid on the block in Chattanooga’s bar scene celebrated its first birthday, and raised a glass to a successful year filled with new friends, delicious food and craft beer.

Georgia Winery

Wine flows more abundantly than water at The Georgia Winery, located only six miles south of Chattanooga. This family-owned-and-operated business has serviced the greater Chattanooga and North Georgia area for 31 years, and with just one sip of their wine, it’s easy to understand how they have survived for so long.

Since there are more than 30 different wines available for selection, choosing the right label may be a difficult decision. Thankfully, every customer is allowed to taste up to eight different wines. Among these are the ever-popular Chattanooga Blush, which won “Best of the Blush” at the 2007 Wines of the South competition, the Southern Sangria, made with hand-picked blackberries and blueberries, and the Muscadine Gold, which offers a incredibly smooth and flavorful taste enriched by 100 percent organically grown muscadines, a type of grape found only in the South.

Do you like cheese with your wine?

Well, the Georgia Winery offers

many different types of locally produced cheese to complement your wine of choice. If the summer heat has you beat, there are Sangria Slushies on sale for only $5. This treat will re-invigorate your energy and leave you feeling refreshed.

It should come as no surprise that with all this homemade wine the Georgia Winery knows how to party. Each year, they provide our area with many different events and celebrations, and on June 28 they’ll host a Luau Wine Fest, featuring fire dancers, a tiki lounge, hula girls and a live performance by Chattanooga reggae musical legends Milele Roots.

The Georgia Winery prides itself on the wine they create, and their hard work has paid off. Each sip of wine explodes with fresh fruit. Come to Ringgold, Georgia and experience a wine shop like no other.

The unofficial headquarters of karaoke in Chattanooga, Sing It or Wing It on Market Street, caters to audiences and performers of all ages and skill levels. Folks from miles around pack the place to entertain and be entertained.

The venue has played host to everyone from professionals like Lauren Alaina, the Forester Sisters, and Big Time Rush, to talented locals and brave souls who’ve never before graced a stage.

Whether you’re looking to kick back and have a good time, or are simply in need of some liquid courage before grabbing the mic, the bar at Sing It or Wing It is the perfect accompanist, stocking more than 60 bottled beers and a dozen drafts, a generous selection of wines, and 18oz., crowd fave fish bowls.

There’s also a veritable “greatest hits” worth of drink specials, including weekday happy hour from 4 to 8 p.m., fish bowl Long Island Ice Teas for $5 on Tuesdays, double wells for $5 on Wednesdays, dollar beer night on Thursdays, PBR and Rolling

Rock tall boys for $2 on Fridays, $1 off drafts on Saturdays, and a Bloody Mary bar and mimosas for $4 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays.

The celebrity-inspired menu is also filled with star power. The wings are available in variety of flavors and heats, and the burgers are hand-patted and fresh.

Looking to jam out with some appetizers? Try the Aretha Okra, Pickler Pickles, or B.B. Skins. They’ve added a huge smoker, and now offer pork sandwiches, platters, and “Baby Got Back” ribs.

Service from the top-notch staff makes each visit complete. Owner Gina Bennett says, “Not everyone can listen to karaoke all day and night and keep a smile on their face,” but the bum notes are worth it if they can help find the next big star. Will you be the one?

The menu boasts a selection of casual bar foods, including classics such as the mushroom burger and new twists like the strawberry tomato jalapeno chicken sliders. Food served till 2:30am nightly.

Raw’s owner, Jim Striker, takes pains to make Raw the perfect place to enjoy any kind of entertainment.

Whether you want to listen to a good local band or enjoy your favorite sporting event on TV, Raw is just the place to do it.

Upstairs, the atmosphere changes. Nights at Raw become an intense swirl of sound and color, featuring live

music acts and big-name DJs. DJ Spicolli and DJ Reggie are regulars at Raw’s nightclub, setting the dance floor on fire with both original beats and fresh remixes. Patrons can enjoy karaoke with a live band to create that authentic rock star experience.

Southern Burger

How do you improve on the concept of a “burgerand-beer joint”? How about gourmet burgers and craft beer? That was the approach adopted by Christian Siler when he opened the Southern Burger Co. in Ooltewah almost a year ago. The concept has

trivia

been a winner.

With 40 different craft beers available in 29 bottles and 11 rotating taps, Southern Burger Co. defies stereotypes. Varieties like Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro and Son of a Peach dominate sales.

Craft beers are only a part of the bigger picture at Southern Burger, where everything is either made in-house or locally sourced to ensure the highest quality. Southern Burger is the epitome of “keeping it local”, and the result is a product far superior to the fare offered by national chains.

Want your burger with fresh avocado and jalapenos? How about a side of sweet potato fries? You’re in the right place. Condiments like the housemade bacon jam, habanero jam and utterly delicious sri-

racha mayo provide the perfect complement to the perfectly grilled beef or turkey burger.

Tuesday nights, Southern Burger offers $5 domestic pitchers, $12 half-carafes of wine and live trivia with weekly prizes and a tournament. Thursday night is Pint Night with $3 pints and a free pint glass when you order the beer of the month. Dining room seating, a burger bar and a spacious patio mean there’s plenty of room. The smooth, clean lines of the restaurant have a feel of fusion between old and new, ’50s diner and boutique.

Siler started out with the goal of building a superior product from the ground up and thanks to his dedication, inventiveness and excellent staff he has achieved that and more, elevating the humble “beer and burger” to a place of class and refined taste.

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 and exceedingly friendly and warm 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.

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 at the tap-

room 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. On Saturday, July 5, Heaven & Ale will unveil its new outdoor beer garden at their one year anniversary celebration with music, food, and FREE BEER! Heaven & Ale 304 Cherokee Blvd.

On The List Catering On The List Catering is leagues ahead of any other catering option that Chattanooga has to offer. OTLC only provides fine dining, but also fine drinking. Run

by Sarah Love and Beverly Wright, two intrepid woman entrepreneurs born here in the South, On The List strives to offer an innovative catering experience.

They are, for example, the only catering company in Chattanooga that offers a full mobile bar service.

At their client’s request, they can set up a cash bar at any event, complete with expert bartenders and a handsome selection of top-shelf liquors.

Gone are the days of “bring your own beverage.”

On The List designs their service to provide their customers with everything they need to create a special dining event.

On The List puts its emphasis on creating a different breed of catering. They don’t offer the same old frozen fried-chicken-and-green-beans; they prepare all food on-site using their mobile grills and fresh, local ingredients from Chattanooga producers. Their

clients are guaranteed a restaurant-quality meal no matter what they order. Sample menus range from down-home Southern style cooking, like pulled pork tossed in their handmade bourbon barbeque sauce, to Italian bruschetta served on a sliced baguette.

More unique selections include Thanksgiving Sliders, (cocktail croissants filled with cranberry sauce, havarti cheese, and smoked turkey), as well as peach tea chicken and berry-glazed pork loin. Sarah Love explains that she never wanted to serve the “usual” kinds of food. The items on the OTLC menu all have a distinctive twist.

Everything from On The List Catering includes that little something special—and is made with true professionalism and pride.

Mike’s Hole in the Wall draws a crowd tailored to the bar itself. For the past six years, Mike’s has been serving to a crowd that loves affordable beer and made-in-house food.

This is what owner Big Mike says keeps them coming back to the Cherokee Boulevard location.

When these regulars talk about the Mike’s Hole in the Wall menu, the first item mentioned is usually the wings. Considered by many to be the best wings in town, this item sets the tone for the hand-made pub grub that is the Mike’s menu. But no sports bar is complete without a juicy burger, and at Mike’s the half-pound patty burger is guaranteed to satisfy any carnivore. And, the kitchen stays open until 2 a.m., so these and other delicious dishes are available for the late-night diner.

The weekly specials highlight the accent on affordability at Mike’s, with deals every day except Friday and Saturday. Enjoy $1 drafts every Monday, and $1 tacos on Taco

Tuesdays. On Wednesdays, $2 16oz. Rolling Rock cans complement a hand-made quarter-pound corndog.

Thursdays, come stuff your face with the famous wings for only 50 cents a wing. Sunday at Mike’s offers customers two-for-one appetizers, including the renowned Southwest chicken eggrolls. The deals don’t stop there—happy hour is every day from 4-7 p.m. with half-price drinks and apps, plus $2 Natural Light pints all day. Every day.

Mike’s Hole in the Wall is about more than food and drink. There’s a sense of community. The sports bar hosts dart leagues every Monday and Wednesday nights, along with a blind draw every Friday night. With all that’s going on at Mike’s, there’s never been a better time to become a regular at this great “hole in the wall”.

The Bitter Alibi Welcome to the Bitter Alibi.

Around here, we believe someone should have a good reason for opening their mouth.

Good Reason #1: To drink.

And let’s shoot square: with all the shady business going down in the Gig City, it’s best to have a good story for where you were and when.

Good Story #1: You were at the Bitter Alibi. Drinking.

It’s air tight.

Nestled below the bricks right next to Chattanooga’s most illustrious venue, JJ’s Bohemia, you’ll find all the makings of a good time, and

an even better story.

To put it simply, we like to drink.

And if you’re cut from the same cloth, you’ll feel right at home. Craft, domestic, imported--you name it.

Tapped, bottled or canned. Not to mention a menu of scrappy delectables that’ll have your tastebuds doing donkey kicks on your tongue.

Get down here. The vibe is right and the suds are cold.

Oh, and whether you decide to drop by or not, feel free to use us as an excuse for not attending that one sort-of-friend’s experimental performance art thing you were invited to on Facebook.

We’ll vouch for you.

This is the Bitter Alibi, and you were with us the whole time.

Weren’t you?

Signal Mountain resident Travis Close has brewed up a tasteful new business idea that’s ideal for catering your next party or event. The Tap Wagon delivers kegged beers, bottled beers, and even mixers in a refrigerated trailer. The beer is brought to you cold and ready for drinking, anywhere within 50 miles of Chattanooga.

The Tap Wagon is a 5-by-8-foot trailer with six beer taps connected to the outside. The Wagon plugs into your home outlet, or a generator can be provided for outside events. The Tap Wagon trailer has the technology and equipment to store the beer at the optimum level of carbon dioxide for that individual beer. This allows Close to serve a large variety of beers perfectly.

The Tap Wagon’s menu offers both beers brewed by major distributors and locally brewed craft beers; customers have their choice of more than 100 beers, from Budweiser to

Chattanooga Brewing Co. Party planning can be a highly stressful job, and though food catering is a standard for most parties and events, catering beverages is a new concept for many. With Close’s innovative idea, that just might be a thing of the past. Travis Close believes the Tap Wagon will make event planning much easier and more fun.

MoonPie Moonshine

Recipe: Bananas Foster Moo nshine De

There’s nothing more Southern than Moon Pies and moonshine, so it’s not surprising that the seventh generation Limestone Branch Distillery based in Lebanon, KY and the fifth-generation bakers known as the Campbell Family of Chattanooga, TN came together to see a vision.

They developed a taste profile in their quest for liquid perfection.

If the proof of the whiskey was too high, the flavors became too bitter.

Too low, and they became too syrupy. And the flavor ingredients had to be of the highest quality to stand out, such as Madagascar vanilla and Dutch-process cocoa.

Steve Beam, one of the Beam brothers of Limestone Branch Distillery, said it was like, “two great Southern traditions are in every jar.”

And that is how MoonPie Moonshine was born.

The original marshmallow treat is now available in three classic fla-

vors: chocolate, vanilla and banana but Beam says that Limestone has big plans for the MoonPie line, including “strawberry, orange and lemon, which are in development.” These flavors can be served over the rocks, or used in classic or non-traditional drink recipes. It’s time to get creative with our cocktails!

Beam suggests, “They also mix extremely well in coffee or sodas. Orange or root beer with vanilla, cola with the chocolate, and cream soda with banana. Or try adding chocolate to a MoonPie martini or vanilla to a White Russian instead.”

The jars are printed right here in town by Chattanooga Glass, with the logos fired directly on the jars, making them collectibles. MoonPie Moonshine is available in most Tennessee liquor stores.

Be sure to include the shine at your next summer get-together because it’s sure to be a hit.

1885 Grill

1885 Grill Bringing a Southern Coastal twist to Saint Elmo.

3914 Saint Elmo Ave (423) 485-3050 1885grill.com

Rows of liquor bottles line the back wall of the bar at 1885, including Chattanooga Whisky and the staples like Grey Goose and Captain Morgan. On the top row amid the bottles sits a silver cup that reads “Brewmaster Brawl Champion.” Bar Manager Heather Jennings earned the cup when several Chattanooga-area restaurants held a bartender competition.

During the last few weeks, the restaurant at 3914 Saint Elmo Ave. has prepared its summer menu, its summer entertainment and its drink list.

Diners who come to 1885 and sit on the patio—one of the nicest patios in Chattanooga, according to the restaurant’s manager—have the opportunity to try the restaurant’s barrel-aged spiced rum and its fresh, fresh seafood.

Jennings said 1885 will be mixing up beer infusions for the summer—beers with fresh lemon.

This lightens the beer and makes it refreshing to drink, she said. The beer list, sourced from local breweries from here to Atlanta, will rotate frequently, Jennings said. But the signature drink of the 2014 summer for 1885 will be their barrelaged cocktails.

Jennings said 1885 is the only Chattanoogaarea restaurant to do barrel-aged cocktails.

She takes liquor and adds flavorings, like blood orange liquor or rosemary. She then seals everything in a barrel to let the flavors meld and deepen for two months. “Like a chef uses spices,

I’m using a barrel,” she said.

Managing Partner Miguel DeJesus says the restaurant bills itself as a “Southern coastal grill”. Alongside its famous shrimp and grits and fried flounder, the restaurant gets fresh seafood shipped to it three-to-four times a week.

Chef Charlie Loomis creates a special, and the restaurant posts pictures of the specials on their Facebook, along with any daily drink specials and that day's live music performer.

Monday and Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m., the restaurant has live music from local bands. Some artists, who have signed record deals, will perform during special events. The lineup is posted on their Facebook page as well.

On the weekends, 1885 offers brunch specials.

On Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., diners can get brunch offerings like fried chicken and waffles, with spicy maple syrup or steak, eggs and hash.

A mimosa special and a Bloody Mary bar accompany brunch. Of course, the full menu is also available at those times. And for your listening enjoyment on Sundays, there is live music on the patio from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Entrees run in the $15 range. 1885’s signature cocktails undershoot comparable restaurants by about $2 a drink and run in the $6.50 to $8 range, DeJesus said. “The whole idea is to have two, not one.”
