Stopped in on both sides. The under six side is small since it is just beer. Growler fills off about 10 taps, some singles. Great selection for TN. The over six side is huge, but mostly wine. The selection was lacking but I picked up a couple things. Prices were fair.

Best selection I’ve seen in Tennessee, and being able to buy in singles was a nice bonus.

The liquor side of the store had very few bottles of beer, and nothing I’d go out of my way for. Good for the area though I suppose. The beer side had a lot of sixers and singles. Help here was pretty bad, the guy working didn’t seem to care about us and when I asked him a simple question he snapped at me. Maybe he was having a bad day, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Prices are good and I stocked up on some local beers from the GA/TN area.

Out of the way location has a nice relaxed ambiance, and a mostly-friendly and knowledgeable staff. Typical limited TN high abv (6% and above) selection on the wine and spirits side - maybe 100 bottles. Separated below 6% beer section has probably 200 different selections, but some are the BMC stuff. Nearly everything available in singles though, which is nice.

This is the best place I found to buy beer in Chattanooga. Due to bizarre TN liquor laws, higher ABV beers have to be sold in the liquor side of the store, while lower gravity beers are in the other half. The bigger beers include whatever Stone beers are available in the market and a few Belgians for the most part.. sometimes they have 3Ls Stone stuff. The lower gravity side, as mentioned below, has build-your-own sixers, with a lot of regional stuff and solid US micros available. Service is always friendly on both sides.

This is a pretty good beer store for micros. The beer side has tons of micros that you can break up to make your own six pack. The beer side has North Coast, Highlands, Duck Rabbit, some Great Divide to name a few. The liquor store has beers over 6% due to some crazy backwoods law in Tennessee. Decent selection of Trappist beers, Stone, Unibroue, and a few Dogfish Head. I was pleasantly surprised to see Vertical Epic Ale here. I paid $12 for a Rochefort 8, and the price for 90 minute and anything else by Dogfish is $3 a beer. A little pricy for my tastes considering I bought a Rochefort 8 for $5 in Atlanta last week. This is the second best beer store in Chattanooga behind Beverage World in Fort Oglethorpe.

2nd best selection I’ve see in the Chattanooga area (check out Beverage World in Fort Oglethorpe). Liquor side has a modest selection of brews, Stone being the one I was most interested in. Beer side has a better selection of micros (stoked to see some Duck Rabbit), including singles which is great for sampling different brews without spending too much money. Prices are competitive, and the staff was helpful and friendly.

Pretty decent beer selection, especially considering the area. The high alcohol side carries most Unibroue stuff, Stone, some miscellaneous imports. There is not very much American beer here over 6%, which seems to be the general case in TN. The >6% side has a decent selection of single 12oz. beers with more of a balance of imports and micros. I actually left without buying anything since I live in TN and most of this stuff is readily available throughout my area. But it’s nice stop if I were staying in Chattanooga and the prices seemed just a bit better than Knoxville.

A very good beer store with a nice selection of domestic micros / craft beer offerings and imports, some of which I’ve not been able to find anywhere else. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
