Best Breweries With Food in Nashville: Where to Eat in Nashville

Nashville is known for its food scene and its fast growing craft beer culture. The good news is that at a handful of standout spots, those two worlds meet in the best way. While we love breweries with food trucks and quick bar snacks, this guide focuses on the places where you can really chow down. Think full meals, fresh ingredients, and kitchens that put as much care into the food as the brewers put into what’s in your glass.

Below are the top picks when you want great beer and a plate of something worth sitting down for.

TennFold Brewing

TennFold is a dependable favorite in Donelson with a full kitchen, great pizzas, and a rotating seasonal menu that makes it worth stopping by throughout the year. Each season brings new dishes, new pairings, and a reason to return.

Bar Jackalope

Sharables include Crooked Antlers, their Bavarian pretzels with beer cheese and mustard, Jack’d Up Taters layered with beer cheese, jalapeños, and bacon, Whispering Buffalo Dip, Mythmaker Brats, Pimento Poppers, and Flaggerdoot, their house pickled veggies with ranch. Their flame broiled quarter pounders cover the classics and the creative. The Legendary Beast is the house burger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and sauce. The Wild Hare adds pimento cheese and fried jalapeños.

East Nashville Beer Works

This is one of the strongest full brewery kitchens in the city. You can expect toasted cheesy bread, beer cheese nachos featuring their Miro Miel, a hearty hummus platter, a classic calzone, several salads, and a long list of ten inch pizzas. Their vegan pizzas are some of the best vegan friendly brewery options in Nashville.

If you bring your BrewPass, get a one time visit perk: a free five ounce taster.

Crazy Gnome Brewing

Crazy Gnome’s weekend brunch program is a standout. You will find focaccia French toast, crispy loaded tots, breakfast sandwiches, and seasonal comfort plates depending on the week. It is the kind of brunch that makes you want to stay for a second beer and linger on the patio.

If you bring your BrewPass, get a one time visit perk: a free five ounce taster with any drink, food, or merch purchase.

Smith and Lentz

Smith and Lentz keeps things simple with wood fired pizza that is consistently good. Fresh ingredients, a relaxed space, and crisp lagers make it an easy choice when you want straightforward food that hits the mark every time.

Bonus: Rice Vice (Proper Sake)

Rice Vice is not a beer brewery, but the food and sake pairing make it too good to skip. Their kitchen partners serve Japanese comfort food, dumplings, rice bowls, noodles, and creative pop ups that rotate through the seasons. It is one of the most unique food experiences tied to a beverage producer in Nashville.

If you bring your BrewPass, get a one time visit perk: twenty percent off your first tab of Proper Sake drinks.
