Some meals call for a menu. Others call for a stack of empty plates and zero decisions.

St. Elmo's Popular Tap House Offers A Variety Of Beers, Whiskeys, And Good Food

Recently, I toured Gate 11 Distillery, Dam Whiskey’s Chattanooga location, and right next door the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery on Market Street. It made me a bit curious as to where I could go to sample locally crafted beers. What I learned is that Chattanooga has several microbreweries and places to try many varieties of brews. I live just minutes from St. Elmo, so I made my way to the Tap House.
