In the area celebrating Friendsgiving. One of our crew picked this spot and it was a hit. The menu had a good selection for all types of eaters. Loved the rustic and old school vibe. The service was great and the food was delicious. The portions were huge and the prices were reasonable. Good location for a quick spot to eat.

The presentation of the food was great. The problem was the food was not that good. They used cheap ham and turkey and really cheap probably Kraft like cheese and a wrapper. If they had a better ham and cheese in Turkey it would have been really great I really did like the bread. The salads were good and the ranch dressing was homemade. That’s why they’re getting a four-star. The atmosphere and the little location is a great unique place. Along with a second level like rooftop. A very unique design in the building. Just wish the food was better. The wings head good sauce on them and the ranch and bleu cheese were good. But they were just like lukewarm when they came out. We asked for extra crispy and they were not extra crispy.

I don’t know if they were short handed. But the hamburger didn’t have the jalapeño pepper jelly on it like menu said. Was charged for a small cup of it. Was told onion rings were the best ever, they were just ok, the pickle you couldn’t chew threw the skin gross. It was a very neat place to go but I thought the food was not up to par at all. Service was a little slow the girls were running there butts off. Between upstairs and down stairs. Maybe they were short staffed on a Sat. But I don’t think I’ll go back. But it was really neat to see.

We had a blast trying this restaurant / bar out. Looks like a super cool place to have a few beers with good company! My wife really enjoyed the quality of their pickles. The mango wheat beer I tried was amazing as well! The atmosphere was a solid 11 out of 10! Super super cool! We will be back if we visit this area again in the future

What a great place! The atmosphere has a really cool feel, including the spiral staircase to the open air deck upstairs. Our bartender was friendly and accommodating, and the food was fantastic. The whiskey selection is very comprehensive and will surely have something you like. The Reuben sandwich was the best we’ve had. Don’t miss the Pickle Barrel on your adventures to downtown Chattanooga.

You are not secure in your papers if you go there. The doorman scans your driver’s license into a database if you go there. Who knows what they do with that information. I have no problem showing my identification but I do have a problem for it to be scanned into a computer database without my prior knowledge until it was happening. BEWARE.
THe staff took 45 minutes to bring a menu then another 15 minutes to take our order due to them being focused on trying to flirt with female customers. Once food finally arrived waited 15 minutes on salt and pepper to be able to start eating our Now Cold food. Sandwich was supposed to have thousand Island dressing on it but it didn’t have any on it so I asked for some in the side to correct the problem myself but then was charged extra for something that it was supposed to have on it. Brought it to the attention of the employee and he said he did not know but failed to offer to correct the extra charge went ahead and paid it other than having to mess with it. Their signature house roast beef for the sandwich was like fillet of work boots very tough and not very flavorful hence the need for a lot of salt to be able to eat it. The couple shining stars of food are the pierogies and the french fries the french fries are like a petal-shaped fry that is very unique. $26 for one person another table got the mozzarella cheese sticks and they were huge at one point stretched out 3 ft wide as they pulled apart the cheese unfortunately did not catch that one on camera. This is a older building with some great unique options the second floor is not accessible due to spiral staircase access only and a step that you may trip and fall when entering onto the upstairs patio use caution

It is really cute and cozy. We went upstairs and sat outside on the patio. No kids running around, just adults who want to have a peaceful meal and drink.

The Pickle Barrel is such a fun spot with a unique twist that makes it stand out. The highlight for me has to be their perfectly fried pickle spears—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. They’re the kind of appetizer you keep reaching for until the basket is gone.
To wash it down, the drinks are just as creative. The spicy pickle margarita is bursting with flavor and has just the right kick, while the pickle back shots make for a perfect pairing if you’re in the mood for something bold.
Between the great vibe, friendly service, and one-of-a-kind menu, The Pickle Barrel nails that balance of fun and flavorful. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in town and want something memorable.
