Chattanooga: brew pubs or pub grub?

[PhillyStyle]

We're in Chattanooga for the weekend. Any tips on local bars or brew pubs with great food and a cool vibe? Fresh microbrews on tap would be a plus. Thanks!

Big River downtown has good beer and really good pub food, and it's local. Blue River has the same beer and decent, though not great, seafood.

Gordon Biersch has two restaurants downtown and one by Hamilton Place mall. Big River is a brew pub and Blue Water is seafood. Both brew there own beer. Hair of the Dog is also supposed to be ok, but I've never been there
