Abridged Beer Company (The Brewpub)

Best beer in town and I'm not much of a beer drinker. All the sours were my favorite. The burger was very tasty, a little greasy for my liking, but still very good. The asparagus with the crispy garlic on it was a nice touch. So good!!! I would definitely recommend and go back.

We were here on a super busy Saturday night and it was still fantastic. Amazing pot roast nachos, awesome burgers, really excellent beer options (get a flight!) and the atmosphere is family friendly fun without being too loud or obnoxious. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly and helpful. This is just a great place to spend a few hours with friends. Don’t hesitate to ask the staff what’s great - you might even find a hidden menu option like the pizza fries with tiny pepperonis.

Was in town taking my BJCP exam and asked for a good place to get a bite that has good beer. Abridged was recommended. Wife and I stopped in and we are glad we did. Food was fantastic and beers were good. Super cool place. Will definitely be back to see them our next visit to Knoxville

I've been traveling around and doing the Knox Ale Trail for a few months now and decided to stop at Abridged while running errands. The atmosphere was super relaxed and the dining room as well as the outdoor seating was bustling. It's sort of a deli style ordering system where you make your order and then sit anywhere you like. I ordered a flight to try all of the beers that I was interested in and really enjoyed everything I tried. I am a big fan of sours, so I was really excited to see 3 different goses on the menu.

This place is no joke and I’m seriously impressed. The Hill’s Pils and fried chicken sandwich (and potato salad) are the perfect pairing and absolutely delicious! If I were a local I’d no doubt visit weekly to have this pairing, over and over, and never grow tired of it. Wow!

Amazing!!!!!
The Abridged burger is a must!! And this "Mint chocolate chip cheesecake"....🙌
Why are you still reading this....? Go there! NOW!!
They also have a great selection of brews for all palates alcohol content is listed so you can decide exactly what sort of evening its going to be 🙏 highly recommend!

Good service, good burgers, and a decent beer selection. It gets a bit noisy. It also gets pretty expensive to have a burger and a couple of drinks.

Amazing service, quality beer, nachos were excellent with pork roast

Tasty products, but horrible pours - missing a few ounces here, making my 12 oz beer about 9.5oz (see photo - that was how it was delivered to me - this needs to be topped off before delivery to customer!).

They need to display a beer menu outside if ordering outside - you can't have customers walk up to order without having already seen a menu. Also need more than one person taking orders. Long line and it's located right where people are entering and exiting the location at. Have people wait elsewhere to order and pickup beer. Overall, the layout needs improvement.

Pretzels with pimento was on point - really tasty. Didn't feel like waiting in line for round 2, and being short changed on another short pour.

Overall, good product but could be better delivery of said product.

Been here multiple times, but I hate being short changed on pours and waiting outside in the sun just to have a beer or two. (Didn't need a table, was going to eat an entire meal or stay long).

The staff was friendly. Overall 3 stars.

Knoxville has plenty of places to get a good burger, but Abridged currently sits at the top of the list. Yes, even better than Stock and Barrel. Importantly, Abridged's food menu is not a one-trick-pony. Chicken sandwiches, appetizers, and sides are all excellent - this is a gastropub where the food is maybe better than the beer.

And, speaking of the beer, it's nothing to complain about either. Abridged products are generally high quality, and many are offered to-go. While the West Knox location doesn't have the breadth of funky options the Oak Room location does, there's still plenty of high quality drink at a reasonable price.

Just make sure you come at meal time.
