🎶 Don’t stop believin’… we’re officially in our 80s era tonight. 🎶

Join us for 80s SINGO, grab some grub from Tin Can Diner, and prepare for a soundtrack full of big hair and even bigger singalongs.

Not your thing? We open at 2pm every day now—come enjoy a quiet pint with Shank before the leg warmers arrive.

🍺 Pouring 2-10pm
🎵 80s SINGO
🚚 Tin Can Diner 5-8pm

Welcome Home, fam.

Yesterday was for cruising. Today is for coasting.

We’re slowing things way down with cold beer, good company, and Bratfolk on the patio from 5-7pm serving up their Appalachian-Celtic fusion sound.

Hunter + Ireland pouring 2-8pm. Come squeeze the last drop out of your weekend with us. 🍻

Shank’s got his hands on a Brewery Ommegang Oak-Aged Watermelon Kölsch, the sun is shining, and downtown is about to be buzzing. Sounds like a pretty good Saturday to us. 🍉☀️🍺

The Downtown Cruise-In rolls through from 3–8pm, and the Bluegrass Jamboree takes over Covered Bridge Park at 6pm. Bring your favorite lawn chair, check out some classic rides, and enjoy a day full of small-town summer vibes.

One quick heads up: our back patio is reserved for a private party starting at 5pm, but the taproom and front patio will be open and pouring all evening long.

Tonight (06/12), Shank trades taps for tunes and takes over the patio from 7-10pm with guitar in hand and questionable levels of musical mischief.

Then on Sunday (06/14), Bratfolk returns from 5-7pm to deliver the chillest Appalachian-Celtic vibes this side of the mountains.

Add in a whole lineup of fresh drafts and cans hitting the menu, and you’ve got yourself a pretty solid excuse to avoid your responsibilities for a few hours.

Come hang. We’ll save you a seat. 🍻

First Friday in Downtown Elizabethton is HERE and the summer vibes are in full swing! ☀️🎶

Downtown is alive after hours, so grab some food, check out the shops and pop-ups, then make your way to the third block for the late night festivities where the music will be rolling from both Riverside and Jiggy Ray's Downtown Pizzeria.
