The beers were very well made and they have a good variety. They haveca full bar as well with some nice top shelf choices. The staff was amazing, went above and beyond. We had the giant pretzel and it was perfection, very soft and fresh and the beer cheese and mustard were perfect with it. We cannot wait to come back and try more things here. Oh, great live music as well .

If you are looking for a combination of super chill atmosphere, comfort, cool lighting, great variety of music (a lot of live music), quality food options with fresh ingredients, reasonable prices, and activities/ themed nights- definitely go to Wanderlinger! Ask for my favorite staff- Gabby(she’s in the picture holding the pumpkin)- she adds to the hospitable ambiance with personalized attention and a welcoming vibe that makes you feel like you belong. Amanda (she’s standing beside Gabby on the left in the pic) is another fav! Whether you’re in formal wear or T-shirt and jeans, you’ll feel a warm sense of kinship.
Fabulous Hospitality, yummy food, decent prices, great music, and tasty beer- of course we are on loop with Wanderlinger!

Nice craft brewery in the Southside area. Lots of seating inside and outside. There’s a play area for kids outside as well. Free street parking and paid parking lot available.

Came to Wanderlinger on Main by 24 for the first time at the new location. We had a great time, and the kids had fun too! I love that they are family friendly during the day.
Came back in over the weekend with my husband for a date night, and we had some great food and cocktails at the bar. The bartenders Amanda, Gray and Brett were awesome! We had a great time and appreciated the hospitality! We will definitely be back in! We highly recommend this place!

Folks, let me tell you about a dinner I had recently that just hit different. In a world where everything feels rushed and impersonal, this place stands out as a reminder of how good things can be when people care.
The food? Outstanding. Real, hearty dishes made with quality ingredients—tender meats, fresh sides bursting with flavor, desserts that are rich and satisfying. Everything came out hot, perfectly seasoned, and in portions that actually make sense. No skimping here.
The atmosphere is spot on: warm, comfortable, with that classic American feel—soft lighting, friendly chatter, a sense of community you don’t find everywhere anymore.
But the real standout was the bartender, Gabby. She’s energetic, knowledgeable, always one step ahead with refills. her menu recommendations were absolutely perfect!
Five stars, hands down. Go experience it for yourself—and make sure to ask for Gabby. You won’t be disappointed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at this cozy spot! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared—with generous portions that left me completely satisfied. Everything from the appetizers to the main course hit the spot.
Gabby served us. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and full of energy!
Highly recommend this place—I’ll definitely be back soon!

Wandering Brewing is an outstanding event partner. They recently hosted a YPC event for us, and everything was seamless from start to finish. They had every detail we requested ready to go when we arrived, and their communication throughout the planning process was prompt, clear, and professional. The staff was friendly, attentive, and their service was truly A-1. Our group had a fantastic experience, and I’d highly recommend Wandering Brewing in Chattanooga for any event or gathering.

Wanderlinger truly exceeded our expectations for this year’s holiday party! From my initial inquiry about a catered event for over 50 guests, Patti was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was incredibly responsive, answered all our questions promptly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had access to top-shelf bourbons and whiskeys for our discerning guests.
If you are considering booking a gathering at Wanderlinger, I cannot recommend reaching out to Patti enough. Her exceptional service made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free.
Thank you again!

Sat down around 6:00 PM with my spouse at the bar. Waited over 10 minutes. It wasn’t crazy busy. All three bartenders made eye contact when I tried to get their attention. They seemed caught up in conversation.
Not sure how bad or good the food or drinks are here but the service speaks volumes.
0/10 would not recommend.
