Tonight’s the night! Swing by for our final service as Flying Squirrel. This is a bittersweet end to an era, which couldn’t have been so special without all of our amazing guests and staff over the years. Much love and thank you for everything 🙏

Now, let’s clear out this bar! Y’all have nearly sold us out of brewskis over the weekend, but we have a ton of fun spirits and wine to choose from, as well as our full dinner menu available. See you tonight for one last toast! 🥂

- 😋 Let’s talk about Okonomiyaki 😋 -
This is one of our longest standing and most unique menu items! Inspired by the Japanese street food, meaning “grilled as you like it” - this savory pancake can be found with just about any toppings. We serve ours loaded up with cabbage, carrots, pork belly, green onion, sesame, pickled ginger, Japanese mayo, and katsuobushi flakes to create the most delicious umami bomb.

CONGRATULATIONS, SARAH!

(Our front line were so excited, they asked to write the copy for this post, how sweet is that!)

Sarah started at Flying Squirrel in 2021 as a server and immediately won over our hearts.

She was quickly promoted to our "ambassador of happiness," or more officially our Director of Hospitality. She is truly a Renaissance woman - she can do anything and everything. She's the epitome of poise and maintains it throughout any obstacle.

We couldn't be more excited to announce her new role as General Manager.

We look forward to seeing her flourish in this new position.

We ❤ you, Sarah!

Our Story

Since the day we opened our doors to the Southside, Flying Squirrel has been a fixture in the local community. The exposed trusses, giant cedar beams, and hand blown glass showcase Chattanooga’s local craftsmanship. Seasonal cocktails and the local-farm driven menu celebrate the natural beauty of Chattanooga. 20 ever-changing craft beer taps and an array of wines offer the best in both modern and classic styles. The Squirrel is your friendly neighborhood bar where the conversation is as fresh as the food and whether you’re a local or a visitor, you’ll always feel welcome.

We are 21+ with no exceptions besides Sunday brunch.
