This place is located right on the main drag running through Gatlinburg, about a quarter to a half mile from where the road goes to enter Smoky Mountain National Park.

Really a great place to go if you are looking for a nice variety of beers. Also if you head there during happy hour (4-6pm?) you can get great deals on the beers.

This brewery has too levels, the top one containing the bar area. There is plenty of room and whenever we went we were able to find a spot in the bar right away. Has a slightly rustic, outdoors feeling to it. Several TVs to watch any sports that might be on.

The service was nothing to rave about, but also nothing to scoff at. Their brews were really good. I have had them before and in my opinion they have improved over the last year. I was surprised by the quality consistency across such a wide range of beer styles.

Whenever I am in the area, I intend to drop in and have a few.

Stopped by for a few pints and dinner. We ate on the second floor at the bar.

The space is a bit dated but still pretty cool with some nice views out the 2 floor windows. Lots of TVs and various sized tables, and there is a stage on the ground floor for music.

Standard beer selection was pretty was pretty much classic older brewpub which I am ok with. However, they also offered a mild, a black IPA and a bock, so that was nice. Quality was fine.

Service was good and made sure we were taken care off. Food was standard pub grub and the menu is large enough that you should be able to find something you like.

Not a bad stop in a town that doesn't seem to offer much in the way of craft beer spots.

Visited on Monday mid-afternoon 10-10-22 after a day of touring the park. Found people sitting and waiting for tables so we opted for a high top in the bar on the 2nd floor.

Vibe was more family restaurant than brewpub with lots of kids and non-beer advocates taking up seats LOL!

Quality of the beer was pretty good. I had the WCIPA and Da Boss had the Helles which we both thought was pretty good.

Service was very friendly and not too slow given how busy they were.

Selection was pretty good as there were about ten or so base offerings available with all being pretty straight up.

Food was rock solid as i had the Ruben and Da Boss had a big salad which she really liked.

Overall a decent stop in the tourist trap town of Gatlinburg.

Visited Gatlinburg location. It's a pretty standard brewpub with a lot of TVs on sports channels. I ordered a helles which was not good. Service was fine and courteous. They had 10 of their beers on tap. All fairly standard IPA, red ale, etc. We ordered pizza which was thinner crust, but still chewy and it was easily better than the beer. It is air conditioned, free of second hand smoke and generally a better place to be than the street in town.

A decent variety of beer. All the choices we tasted were good examples of the type. The stout, porter, IPA and brown were all typical. The red was not up to what I expected. Take this with a grain of salt. I am from Michigan where there is a brewery in every city with more than a thousand people. I was not expecting great beer.

The food was very good. We got chicken fingers and loaded tater tots for an appetizer. The tots were outstanding. These are not tots with cheese and bacon bits sprinkled on top. A mixtures of potatoes, bacon, cheese and seasonings formed into a ball and them fried. All the other food, chicken and burgers were very good and cooked the way they were ordered.

I visited this brewery with my wife and son, while camping and rafting nearby. It was our first trip to Gatlinburg, and the crowds made parking and finding this brewpub a bit of a challenge. The restaurant has an outdoor theme, with a cabin-like feel. The service was friendly, but also a little slow and disorganized, and he got a few things wrong with our orders. However, the welcoming atmosphere made up for the errors. The beer was solidly good, but not outstanding. I enjoyed the IPA and the Stout, which had a smokey quality. The food was typical pub fare, and I had a reasonably good burger. Worth a visit, but not really worth raving about.
