Rhythms & Brews

Went there while vacation in Chattanooga and we loved it!!! Great venue, we went there on friday night and they had an unplugged session with two bands, both bands were really good! Very intimate feeling and great sound system! Would have loved to see more shows there! Only had drinks but the pizza looked pretty good! If we ever go back will definitely go back!

Terrible bar with terrible staff and terrible beer. The food tastes like cheap plastic and the bands booked are usually total shit. I wouldn’t recommend this bar to even the worst of my enemies. I can name ten other bars in Chattanooga that are better than R&B and for that matter, any bar in Chattanooga is better. IF you are a musician or beer lover, please go elsewhere.

Great place in Chattanooga to come to and listen to a good band play. It’s fun watching them too. Some of my favorite bands that play here are Fly by Radio and Breakfast Club which are unbelievable 80’s bands. Catch them and you will have a fun night.
My secret place to sit at is up stairs in the middle. You have to get here early like before 9pm to get the good seats.

This is my kind of bar!
Medium sized, warehouse feel. Gritty, but not dirty. Good beers on tap and a stage and killer PA.
The night I was there we saw a Van Halen tribute band that was awesome! If I was a booking agent, I’d send bands to this place all the time, great venue. The crowd was a little thin the night I was there, but I am willing to bet it gets pretty wild in there at time.
Nothing fancy here, but they did serve beer brewed next door, which is very cool.

The Good
Well they do get some pretty good acts with regularity. I’ve seen Cornmeal, Sam Bush, Slim Pickin’s, Drivin n Cryin among others. They also have pretty middle of the road craft beer. Not saying that is a bad thing, but they are definitely playing to the middle with their beer. They are increasingly having non smoking shows which is A-​OK with me because you don’t wake up the next day reeking of smoke with a head ache.
The Bad
My biggest problem with RnB is somewhat beyond their control. The floor space is like a rectangle. If you imagine a basketball court the stage would be where the commentators and score keepers sit. I could be wrong but I honestly think it has a negative impact on the sound quality.

A neat place to see a show.
My only complaint was the bar — I don’t think they were putting alcohol in the drinks. After spending upwards of $ 80 on drinks for a few people, you expect to at least have a buzz. We left stone-​cold sober feeling a bit cheated!
I’ll see another show when I’m in town again, but I’ll avoid the bar.
