Bearded Iris is in our top two breweries in Nashville. All of their in house brews are delicious. They do offer cocktails, wine, and even frozen drinks if beer isnt your thing. They have a food truck- cabin attic out front most days. Recently bad luck burger club has been outside which I am not upset about at all! I definitely recommend bearded iris for pool, beer, and a good time on the patio with friends.

Great service - plenty of parking - plenty of seating and fresh beer variety-. Nice to be off Broadway and have a solid beer! Will definitely return!

Quality/Quantity - The best breweries are the ones that do not sell food. But they did have a food truck. What a great find. My daughter tricked me into coming here because she wanted boba from Ying Yang Tea, see other review. Decided on the Dreams of Tomorrow - A different unique sea salt and oyster beer. You just have to try it. Atmosphere - What a cool spot. Shot some billiards and drank beer, like I was at home. Oh, no cost to play. :) Also, I am not as good as I used to be, getting old... Indoor and outdoor seating, see pictures. Evenly divided today with the patrons. Cool antique bar, sorry, there were too many people so I was not able to take a good picture. Even the bathrooms had an antique theme. See pictures. Service - 5 stars, friendly and inviting. Price - $7 a beer + generous tips. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016 here and with your two locations.

Very glad we checked this place out. Popped in to have a couple of beers after dinner with friends and it was the perfect place. Plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating, and plenty of beer options to choose from.

This place is phenomenal! Between the amazing selection of fresh drinks and amazing Cabin Attic burgers, this is a great environment to hang with friends. They have indoor and outdoor seating, so it's great for any crowd. Bearded Iris Brewing gives a local feel, for being in a city! If you try the Cabin Attic food truck you HAVE to get the surf shack style fries. Amazing!

Cool brewery In Nashville. I had to stop in because we don't see much Bearded Iris in KC. The tap room is huge! There's plenty of seating and they even have a large patio. Dogs are welcome and I was happy to see some puppers since I was missing mine. The staff were also friendly and helpful. There is a food truck outside but I didn't hit that up. It's a great option though and if I hadn't already had food plans, I would've given it a try because the food looked pretty good. They don't do flights but you can get half pours. Which we did because we wanted to try everything. They have a wide variety of beers that span several styles. I would say they are above average and I'd definitely go back. I really enjoyed the oyster porter.

This might be the best all-round brewery in Nashville. While it's not the best in ambiance (that would be Monday Night or Fait), nor the best in beer quality (that would be Smith & Lentz or Barrique), or service (that would be Jackalope)...it's just very above average on every one of these aspects. It feels more like a brewer's brewery than most places in town. It's in an industrial part of town and it's in a big boxy warehouse building. On my unofficial ranking scale of the culture of their beer with a 1 being most traditional and a 10 being marshmallow-aged IPA milk sours: I would give this place a 6! They play it safe but aren't afraid to get a little innovative. The ambiance is like a factory that's been converted into your grandfather's rustic library. My only regret is that this was my last stop and I didn't get to sample more of their beers. I was in Nashville for Taylor Swift and I saw a few people IN THE CONCERT with cans of it but... I have no idea where they got them!

Hey! Another great brewery in Nashville! We Ubered here after delicious burgers at Joyland. We arrived right at opening and got dibs on their pool table. We ordered their flagship ipa which was pretty good. We then had 10oz pours of a few more, played a few 9 ball sets and walked all the way back to our hotel a little off Broadway. Super nice people here, great beer a must visit place! Cheers!
