Ashlee DoughertyJuly 30, 2018This is a cozy (tiny) spot full of who I can only imagine are locals. I had a very good sour beer inspired by a Moscow mule, and all the bartenders I encountered were super friendly!

Erik RowleyJuly 21, 2016At first glance this local dive doesn't look like much, but it's the best bar in Nooga. Pull up a stool downstairs, order an Ol' Seoulful for food, & try a wide variety of local beers.
Upvote2Downvote- Alexa Jane BrooksMarch 15, 2016Delicious brunch till 2! Get the kale bowl with sweet potato and soft boiled egg. Also, a carafe of your favorite mimosa. Don't forget to drink it on the porch!👌Upvote1Downvote
John CanfieldJanuary 13, 2016I really enjoyed the coffee stout they had on draft. For dinner I had the Kermit's Sandwich. It was nothing short of amazing. The Texas Caviar is addictive. I'm craving it right now!UpvoteDownvote- Great ownership and excellent beer rotation on tap. This place is open for brunch during the week and they have food at night.

Brett WiseSeptember 29, 2015If there is one bar in Chattanooga where everybody knows your name this is it. Seriously this is one of the top local haunts in the city. A no non-sense sort of place.UpvoteDownvote- SherJanuary 14, 2017Tried the special today, sweet potato and Brussels sprout hash. I highly recommend this dish along with a killer "Z Russian" drink.UpvoteDownvote
If they still have it as the special, try the Nelly's Nachos! Great ingredients, and surprisingly light and refreshing.UpvoteDownvote
Alex GrismerJuly 8, 2023I enjoyed the environment a lot. I liked the food that I got but no one that I was with enjoyed their food. Particularly disappointing was the pho.UpvoteDownvote
Denson LigonApril 23, 2017The drinks are great. I recommend the grapefruit mimosa. The Korean inspired dishes are great.UpvoteDownvote
KaitlinMarch 28, 2016Love the basement bar! Cool vibe, lots of great beer, and good food, too.UpvoteDownvote
Melissa MDecember 15, 2017Decent food and cozy environment for brunch. It gets busy around 11 on a Sunday, so be prepared for a long wait.UpvoteDownvote
Robin AdamsMay 12, 2018Awesome breakfast burrito! Not too busy at 10 on Saturday. Friendly staff, quick service.UpvoteDownvote
Andrew SoltisMarch 2, 2020Hard to go wrong with the Asian fusion dishes and any of their cocktail choicesUpvoteDownvote- Jeffrey TDecember 15, 2017Decent brunch. Gets busy after 11am, so expect to wait a bit since the kitchen is super small.
