Culinary Jams | The Best Places to Eat and Drink in Chattanooga this Summer

A long day of play calls for indulging in some delicious summer culinary jams. Fuel up for your next PLAYlist with everything from “Stir Fry” and “Red, Red Wine” to “Peaches n Cream” and “Cherry Pie.” Check out the best seasonal cuisine made with the freshest ingredients, locally crafted beer, and the best restaurants in Chattanooga that will make you say, “Mmmmm, that’s my jam!” just like Guy Fieri.

For Your “ONE MORE CUP OF COFFEE” PLAYlist

Wake up and start your day off with a small batch selection from Rembrandt’s Coffee House and a homemade Nutella croissant, a perfectly crafted cup of Joe taken through the entire production cycle in the Southside at Velo, or a “Chattahooligan” latte from Be Caffeinated. No matter how you take your coffee, grab a cup and some brunch to help kickstart your PLAYlist.

For Your “PARTY ON THE PATIO” PLAYlist

After hiking a trail or paddling the river, pair your outdoor adventure with an outdoor patio for the best of both worlds. Pop up to one of Chattanooga’s best rooftop bars for a cocktail with a view or grab your pup and settle on a dog-friendly patio. Add a little bit of spice to your PLAYlist and hit up all the best patio dining in Chattanooga.
