12 South Taproom

Nashville


12 South Taproom is a true neighborhood hangout, with an extensive array of craft beers, an excellent patio and friendly low-key vibes. The rotating taps feature over 20 brews from across the United States, of varying gravities, while the bottle list is as long as your arm. Daily drink specials are good value.

The taproom also serves up a decent food menu should hunger strike – the Southwestern Cobb salad and the smoked chicken burrito are good choices. Oh, and sometimes you'll walk in and find a band playing.
