TREMONT TAVERN
1203 Hixson Pike Chattanooga, TN
-Mary Grace Ervin-
Every night at 5 o'clock, people begin to fill the restaurant and the line forms out the door.
The Tremont Tavern invites the community in with smiling faces, a welcoming atmosphere, and the best burgers around.
"It gets crazy around here at five every night.", says bartender and server Matt Floyd.
Located off of Hixson Pike, it is home to an assortment of huge burgers, the largest variety of beer, and entertainment including trivia and karaoke. The restaurant prides its self on being the "neighborhood bar". Regulars keep coming back and can't get enough of their favorites, such as the pepper jack and bacon gouda burgers.
Tremont Tavern is also known to have "crazy creations" each month paired with a beer. October's creation was appropriate for the seasons: the monster mash burger. A burger piled high with cheese, mashed potatoes, bacon, sour
cream, and a sprinkle of chives on top.
Customers like Tim say that they just keep coming back for more. He also loves the beer contests they have at the Tavern.
With an assortment of over 120 beers, you can get a mug and keep count of how many different beers you have tried. As you reach different milestones prizes are in store such as a boot of beer for reaching a certain number. This is why you will see mugs hung around the restaurant along with pictures of
the Tavern's loyal customers all over the walls.
The Tremont Tavern opened in 2006. A hole in the wall, the owners created a place in the community for all ages to come together over great food.
Over the years the success of Tremont has caused long waits at their tiny restaurant and they recently bought the adjacent space to create more room for patrons.
With TV's for the big games and arcade games for your enjoyment, the Tavern is fully equipped for fun.
There's a reason this place is called the neighborhood bar. Floyd says, "I know every person by name as they come in here and everyone knows each other. If I don't know their name, I will and you'll get to know everyone around this place.
Whether you're coming for the food or for the community, when you see the logo of the sunshine with a face, you'll know you're in the right place.
