The Scenic City Shines After Nightfall

Unique bars and acclaimed event venues promise a lively evening for any night owl.  Leave the idea of a sleepy mountain town in the past and explore the exciting entertainment options on offer in the Scenic City.

Breweries

Over the past 30 years, the Chattanooga brewery scene has blossomed into a hoppy hive where beer-lovers can sample drafts of all types – from floral to funky and sour to sweet. Taprooms populate the Southside district all the way to the riverfront, while several restaurants keep local brews on tap. Many breweries boast food as innovative as the brews, so you are sure to find a new favorite, no matter your taste.

Cocktail Bars

Are mixed drinks more your thing? Many Chattanooga venues boast well-crafted cocktails, both tried and true classics and distinctive new imaginings. Specialty bars focus on specific spirits, like whiskey or bourbon, rum, and tequila, while others feature a well-rounded assortment of artisanal cocktails. Casual connoisseurs can find speakeasies, Christmas pop-ups, boutique bowling alley bars, and other specialty venues that promise ambiences as unique as their drinks.

Pubs and Bars

There’s something for everybody in the impressive lineup of bars and pubs in Chattanooga. Cheer on your favorite team or hit up happy hour for deals and savory shareables. For the truly adventurous, sightsee while you sip on a trolley pub or test your mettle at karaoke. Many local favorites feature trivia nights, arcade games, darts, and pool to make the evening last.

Music and Entertainment Venues

Small in stature but not in spirit, the Scenic City’s thriving music scene draws some of the nation’s top entertainers. Midsize venues boast top-of-the-line performers on Chattanooga’s Southside, where The Signal and Barrelhouse Ballroom feature local favorites and national touring acts. At their new Main Street location, the Songbirds museum and venue host intimate concerts and music history exhibits. Broadway shows, ballets, and symphonies are featured at the Tivoli Theatre, The Walker Theatre, and Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium throughout the year. Outdoor concerts are popular during the summer, while local musicians are regularly featured at smaller venues and bars.

Social Clubs

Whether gathering for business, community events, or grand galas, there are several social clubs in the city that offer sophisticated hospitality services. The iconic Mountain City Club is one of the oldest clubs of its kind, dating back to 1889. Catch sky-high views and luxurious facilities at The Walden Club, or make connections within the dynamic, historic space of a restored YMCA at the Common House. 

Tennis, Golf, and Country Clubs

Sprawling greens, tennis and pickleball leagues, and packed social event schedules are guaranteed at Chattanooga’s elite country clubs. Historic facilities among breathtaking mountaintop views provide clubgoers with a stunning backdrop for fine dining, recreation, and entertainment. Among the most noteworthy are Black Creek Club, Chattanooga Golf & Country Club, Cleveland Country Club, Lookout Mountain Club, Manker Patten Tennis Club, McLemore, The Ooltewah Club, and Signal Mountain Golf & Country Club. Hixon’s Valleybrook Golf & Country Club is also slated for revitalizing updates to the greens and amenities in the coming years.

Yearly Events

Chattanooga has a vibrant urban scene with events scheduled year-round. The city provides dynamic venue spaces – both indoor and outdoor, black tie and casual, glitzy ballrooms and dive bars. Look out for concert series, seasonal festivals and markets, holiday parties, and a variety of social and charitable happenings to fill your social calendar.
