Nashville Scene | Best Donelson Watering Hole 2016

I never thought I would say this, but there is a new bar that has me consistently driving out to Donelson for a pint. Homegrown Taproom – which opened its doors last year – has quickly put Donelson on the map as a craft beer destination and established itself as a beer bar without the overkill. As most establishments enter an ongoing arms race for the most draft offerings, Homegrown takes full advantage of their modest tap system and finds an upper hand through thoughtful curation, offering one of the most diverse beer lineups in the region. Also, with a full food menu featuring ingredients from local farms and various coffee offerings from Eighth and Roast, it’s a one-stop shop that is appropriate for all ages and palates. Homegrown is a down-to-earth taproom with food worth tasting, bands worth hearing and pints worth discussing. And that’s worth the drive to Donelson. MATT FOX
