Good selection of cigars. Good sales as well. You can always get a good value on a good smoke. Decent selection of beers. They’re always trying to bring in something new. They have four beers on tap. They change fairly frequently and there’s usually something pretty good. Staff is very knowledgeable on both fronts. Woody’s is a smoke shop, so be ready for plenty of cigar and cigarette smoke.

Impressively big smoke shop with a great low alc beer selection and four taps. I picked up several things I can’t get in Knoxville and the staff was kind enough to hold a bottle behind the counter for me.

Most beers available in the Nashville area that are 6.3% and below can be found at this place. There are a few obscure imports but everything else is micros. The liquor store next door has a few good high alc’s and it’s increasing. Overall you might find a dozen or so beers that you haven’t had, so it’s worth it.

I’ve visited this place a lot over the last few years, but they are just now starting to get it with the craft beer scene. New brands/selections in all the time now, with singles available for those of us who like to try something once before we buy a sixer (or if you’re like me you try something once and then find something else you haven’t had and try it). The newer staff are knowledgeable and courteous (and are RBians). The high abv side is getting better as well. They definately have the right people now. They just need to continue to develop the beer culture.

Pretty nice shop. Decent selection of micros and imports. Staff was friendly and fairly knowledgable, both about cigars and beers. They have 4 rotating taps with some pretty tasty beers (currently, new belgum 1554 and fat tire, sierra nevada anniversary, fort collins chocolate stout) Happy hour prices are from 5-8pm and are about $3 a pint. They also have a fairly large selection (about 175) of cold singles that can be consumed on site or taken home. Additionally, they have a walk-in cooler of cold six-packs that houses about 100 different varieties of just micros and imports a separate walk-in houses the typical macros. The liquor side next door houses about 75 high alcohol beers: avery, stone, dogfishhead. Worth a stop if you are anywhere in the area, especially if you want to relax and drink a good beer while smoking a nice cigar.

This place is half cigar store, half beer store. The selection is ok, nothing worth going out of your way for. Thanks to stupid TN liquor laws and a crappy distributor. They do sell cold singles, which is not very common in Nashville. Singles are mostly regional stuff, along with Rogue, Abita, Sam Adams, etc. Anyone with over 300 ratings may not find much here they have not already had. They have a nice area upstairs, where you can lounge, have a cigar, drink your beer, and watch a big screen TV. Cheaper than drinking in a bar. Downside is that the cigar aroma makes it a crappy place to rate. The selection of high ABV beers next door is a joke. Stone IPA and AB, Sierra Celebration, Rogue OC, and that’s about it.

Nice upstairs and the cigar selection is a plus, but the amount of COLD beer available (bottle only) is limited. For a place to watch a game and drink/smoke - the tv is on the fritz.

Since the older guys quit/moved the service has gone down hill, the current manager would rather you get it, buy something, and get out. Primarily a smokes store anyhow.

The selction is OK, but i think they have had some of the bottles to long and are starting to go bad

This place and its companion liquor store next door are a decent stop. Large micro selection including about 14 different Rogue bombers. Liquor store leaves some to be desired...Frugal MacDougal’s in downtown Nashville has the better selection. However, I have yet to find a great large beer selection in Tennessee, it does beat my current state Alabama.

This is the sister store of Walker’s Wines and Spirits located next door. Woody’s has a large selection of macros in a walk in fridge, A great selection of micros; Rouge, Flying Dog, things like Belheven, Anchor, etc, etc, in the large glass fridge-chilled and ready to drink in the loft lounge with a cigar if you want. The shop also has a large cigar humidor, pipes, glasses, and pipe tobbacco. The staff are realy pleasant people who are also quiet helpful. The best part is the upstairs lounge with a widescreen TV, Pool Table, plenty of leather chairs, couches, and tables. You might find live Jazz music, local pianists, etc. I really like Smokes and Brews as a great place to enjoy beer or cigars, music, or conversation. I have been buying cigars here since I was 18 and come back every time I’m home. Due to licensing the above 6% beers are nextdoor in the liquor store (Orval, Rouge, Chimay, Stone, Ayinger, etc...)
