Fait la Force Brewing

If you’re checking out Nashville breweries, Fait la Force is an absolute must. The Gilded Age vibe paired with true to style crisp lager and Pilsner options quickly endeared me to today’s treasured find. Put the super kind bar staff on top and you have yourself a superb brewery experience.

Lovely place to grab an exceptional beer and take in the views looking over Nashville. The bar has cozy French bourgeois vibes. Their patio is gray to get some fresh air hang with friends. If you're hungry they have the most amazing sandwiches.

Lovely brewery! Had two beers while here; a saison and a kellerbier collab with Barrique…both were tasty for their style. Space has an old timey charm yet also feels modern. Great views that are made even better with the ‘windows’ rolled up. I’ll definitely visit again as the beer and vibe match my kind of vibe.

Had a great evening with friends who as locals suggested this meeting spot just outside the city. Great patio with views of the city. Cosy eclectic interior space (it was trivia night during our mid week visit) with a good selection of craft beers on tap and sandwiches for food. We decided to grab a pizza and eat on the patio from the Italian restaurant connect to the building. Also the coolest vending machine I have ever seen! Great spot away from the hustle & bustle of downtown Nashville!

Phenomenal service, clean beers, cool atmosphere. The sandwiches are also delicious. This was our first Nashville brewery stop and we started out with a great one.

I recently visited this brewery and was thoroughly impressed. The beer selection was diverse, offering great choices at reasonable prices. The atmosphere was fantastic, with cozy couches perfect for relaxing and playing board games with friends. What set this place apart was its genuine dog-friendly policy – welcoming our furry friends inside, just not on the couches of course. The bartenders were not only skilled but incredibly kind, making the experience even more enjoyable. A unique feature was the option to order delicious brick oven pizza from next door and bring it over. To top it off, the sound of rain falling on the metal rooftop added an extra layer of coziness to an already fantastic night.

I love this place. The beer is delicious, the vibe is chill, and the people are great. When I think about community in Nashville, I think of this place because it’s welcoming to all. I’ve been to a lot of events here, and every time I leave, I can’t wait to come back.

This place is a gem! Nice location that overlooks downtown Nashville. The beers here are amazing. Very comfortable tap room that is kid friendly. Every style of beer from German lagers to IPAs.

I've been wanting to come here for a while. Finally had a chance and I'm so happy I did. The selections here are going to be European styles - My favorites were the Golden Belgian and French Pilsner. I love you can buy half pours. Interior was large with eclectic seating. We sat on a beautiful couch that looked antique. Servers very friendly and helpful - we couldn't way this time, but they have Jambox sandwiches to buy which I know are very delicious. They are dog friendly which I love. I always stare and oogle at every dog I see like a crazy person. We will be back!

Fait La Force Brewing is a relatively small taproom area. However, it was very nicely decorated and had cool vibe. There are multiple seating areas with cool ascetic choices that I bet would make great Instagram pics for people into that. The beers I tried were good. Unfortunately the Belgian Tripel I really enjoyed I killed the keg on so I was only able to have a tiny sample of it. Sad face. Fait La Force also offers multiple sandwich options to choose from thanks to a partnership with Jambox Sandwich Shop. I ordered the "Cool Mo Dee" which comes with ham, white American cheese, bacon, jalapeno mint slaw, and apple bourbon jam. I found it to be quiet tasty! I especially liked the mint slaw which was refreshing. The bread the sandwich was served on was also very nice and fresh.

Hidden gem alert! A friend recommended we check out Fait La Force on a Friday afternoon, and I'm thrilled to say that this may be one of my new favorite breweries in Nashville. There's free parking nearby, and the vintage vibes inside are on point. From the cool couches to sparkly chandeliers and the historic cafe menu, you can tell that the owners really paid attention to every detail. While they don't offer flights, you can order half-pours of different beers you'd like to try. Although I love Belgian style brews, I always like to ask the team what their favorites are. We were recommended quite a few fun offerings, and I think the Saucy Ballerina was my favorite of the four we tried. Fait La Force does have a small food menu, but they also allow you to pick up takeout from the nearby Il Forno to eat inside their taproom. We chose to do just that, and loved being able to enjoy the hilltop views inside the brewery while eating pizza and pasta. If you haven't stopped in to Fait La Force yet, what are you waiting for?!?

Love this spot. It's tucked away in Wedgewood Houston. It's a great brewery, giving major local vibes. It's very aesthetic, with beautiful vintage furniture and decor. Their menu is simple but delicious. They recently added a sandwich vendor. I haven't tried it yet but have heard great things. The service is friendly and kind. Highly recommend this spot. For my non beer drinkers, their canned Paloma is quite good. And my favorite part about this place is the convenient and free parking out front!

Stopped by for silent book club. Let's start by saying the service is sweet and personable. The decor is immaculate. And not only is this place super pretty, it's also super humongous. The drinks don't fall behind either. My drink of choice was the new prismatic colors hazy pale ale. The fruity taste was right up my alley! Thoroughly enjoyed every sip. Can't wait to come back to try some more of their selections!

Having tried nearly every brewery in Nashville, I can say Fait La Force is perhaps the best!

Some girls from my bookclub and I went for horror trivia night and had a blast! The space is so cozy and antique and their beer selection is great. I'll be having my birthday here later this year and I cannot wait

Came here with our daughter and grandson after the zoo, amidst a downpour. Great, unique ambiance. Good beer, friendly service. The food available from the sandwich shop is very tasty (it's got a jam theme which is a bit unique, but portions are plenty to share) Nice views and would love to go back in better weather and enjoy the outdoor deck.

Fait La Force was a fun stop. They had some comfy seating areas if you don't want to sit at a standard table. We enjoyed a few of their beers and even tried some of their snacks. The sausage roll was really good. The crust flaky and the flavor was decent. Their pretzel sticks and cheese were a welcome addition to our day. We only tried three of their beers (in the pic), but they were all great. The lighting is a little dark inside, but place is cute. If you're looking for a place with a lot of character and good beers, you won't go wrong here.

Talk about the cutest breweries in Nashville! Location is great and the view is stunning during sunset. There have tons of parking available and the entrance is just up a few steps and you are greeted with outdoor patio seating. Inside there are tons of table along with beautiful looking couches. You can order local beers or can cocktails and enjoy your day/evening.

Of the many breweries I visited in Nashville, this one has...by far...the best ambiance. The outdoor area feels like a superhero base. It overlooks Nashville and has a massive open-air deck. The interior is completely different. A little ornate, a little opulent and very stylish without coming off even a bit tacky. The beers here remind me of one of my favorite breweries in Anchorage: Cynosure. All their beers fit into two categories: 1) Belgian Ales: spicy, yeasty, peppery, phenolic beers of higher than average strength. 2) Lagers: pale and crispy chugger beers. I'm not a fan of #1 anymore (why? I don't know. In my early 20's Belgian beers were my favorite, not I'm not into those phenolic flavors that I largely percieve as "musty") but I am a bornagain Lager Boi. The lagers here were fantastic. Crisp, clear, and refreshing. Most breweries seem to only have one or two lagers on tap, here they made up half the taplist. Definitely give them a try!

I was invited to a Special event hosted by Nicole Bailarina and it was absolutely wonderful! This Latin Night had a dance class by a Special guest followed by social dancing and even Performances by artists visiting from Atlanta as well as Nashville's own Kyla Harris with a Guest DJ from Minnesota. There were multiple IPAs, Lagers on tap, a good selection of non alcoholic drinks and snacks at the bar for those who had the munchies from dancing all night. This is not your typical evening at the brewery so I can't comment on the usual but I had a great time regardless.

a chill microbrewery with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, lots of good vibes, and tasty brews. The perfect place for me to grab a few hours of work before I left Nashville, while enjoying a couple of tasty pints. Will definitely look to return next time I'm in town.

You can find Fait La Force Brewing at 1414 3rd Ave S, Ste 101, Nashville, TN 37210 in South Nashville. This is a somewhat commercial or old industrial manufacturing area - the brewery occupies space in what appears to be an old warehouse or factory (there are other interesting occupants - you could see into the spaces but it was so late when we arrived the others were closed). Parking is along the edges of the building, either on the street or in some designated areas - you'll probably need to climb stairs to enter the brewery (unless there's an entry towards the high ground end of the building but that wasn't the entry we used) The taproom is a really large space that makes you feel like you're outside - I liked it a lot. It's also filled with traditionally framed art and some amazing light fixtures that will remind you of a Parisienne Boudoir - comforting and on the verge of luxurious rather than kitschy. I came in with my friend Will H. who had visited the brewery the last time he was in Nashville with a few of my other beer-nerds. Looking over the menu (an older light-up from the 60's or 70's) I saw some items that you don't typically see around the Music City including a Euro Pale, Belgian Golden, a Farmhouse/Saison, a Belgian Tripel - the emphasis was very European and it's rare locally to find so much along the Belgian style (my preference). We tried the following: * Orchestral Fanfare Farmhouse Ale 4.2/5 - Well done saison with typical Belgian yeast banana nose, nearly creamy somewhat earthy/peppery body and smooth sweet finish with a hint of clove. * Heathen Philosopher Belgian Blonde 4.3/5 - I do love a competently made golden, this has a warming coriander body with a good dose of Belgian yeast nose, great mouthfeel and a sweet finish. * Frosty Pop NEIPA 4.2/5 - Nice NEIPA with fruity tropicals, notes of papaya and guava, in a hazy body, finishes well balanced and dank with low bitterness * Guest Tap: Yazoo ETF Open-Bootleg Dark Wild Ale 4.5/5 - Loved this, nice tart fruity body with dark fruit notes of plumb and dark cherries, barrel somewhat vinous with a tannin hint, crisp sweet funky finish. We sat at the bar and conversed with our server who was very knowledgeable regarding the beers - service was exceptional. Really loved this place and wish we could have stayed longer, unfortunately we arrived pretty late and they were close to shutting down.

Had lunch next door and we decided to check out this place, so glad we did. Greeted when we walked in and not sure if it was staff or owners at the helm, but they were so nice and walked me through a few choices. Selected a half pour of the Euro Pale & Hazy IPA and neither disappointed. We did have our little guy with us, so 1) It's kid friendly during the day & 2) we didn't get a chance for another pour (but we are definitely coming back). Great seating options: bar seating, table seating, few fun couch options (totally hope guests don't spill beer on that fabulous blue couch) and even this barstool seating by the large window that has a great view. Prices are reasonable, fantastic beer, great customer service and nice atmosphere! All in all a great experience. FYI: You can order food from next door (Il Forno has amazing pizzas) or from elsewhere, which is a plus!

A new brewery has come to the Chestnut Hill neighborhood! They had their grand opening this past weekend and while I was there, it reached max capacity so there was a line waiting to get in. They signed a least on 2019 with the plan to open mid-2020 and then the pandemic happened. It's been a long road and I am so happy for them finally getting to open their doors Feb 2022! There's parking on all sides of the building but limited. Ride sharing or taking an Uber/Lyft are always recommended. You walk up some steps and there's an outdoor area that hasn't been prepared for guests just yet. Kids were jumping in the pools of water. You walk straight in and turn right to head to the bar to order your drink. Currently on tap are pale, Belgian golden, saison, and a couple IPAs. I was very happy to see they also offered Diskin too. There are several different sitting arrangements from tables of 2-6 and beautiful blue vintage couches in the center. My friends and I were lucky to grab those seats and they were super comfortable. I felt like it was Monell's bc we sat next to people and shared the space. Everyone was friendly. They had a DJ spinning for the grand opening (BeewNCircles) and you can order pizza from Il Forno that is conveniently located next door. I look forward to coming back when it's not too crowded and so happy to see more establishments opening up in my neighborhood.

I almost don't even want to write this review because I love the hidden gem vibe of Fait La Force! A brewery that has good beers, tables open, and a parking lot?? Too good to be true! The staff is friendly, the beers are great, and in good weather, there is a very excellent patio. I go here often and have a great experience every time!

He Said: We don't usually review breweries, but I'm compelled to today. We're just a couple of out-of-towners drinking some beer at breweries and saw this one near enough to our hotel. We got here on, what we thought, a random Saturday at 1pm and it was PACKED. Turns out it's nearest to the Nashville SC stadium and it was the first match of the season. The staff was awesome and handled the crazy lines with smiles and efficiency. This is a really cool spot with fun decorations like my grandma's sitting room. She Said: As He noted, the "Grandma's Parlor" vibe is awesome while the space somehow still retains the brewery-in-an-industrial-area thing. It's nice that the beers are good, too. Potty Points: 4 out of 5 potty points. Though there was plenty of paper products that had fallen to the floor, that was the extent of the mess. Plenty of space so that even when the brewery is packed, there's no wait. Plus, I got to chat with a baby while she got her diaper changed. Always a plus.

Fait La Force opened earlier this year (2022) and it is one of my favorite new spots. Sits on Chestnut Hill between 2nd and 4th on the south side of Nashville. First, the atmosphere. One of the most eclectic breweries in the area. Bearded Iris is another one (older furniture at Germantown, more art deco in Sylvan Supply). But, Fait La Force brings it to a new level in some ways. Very light and open place with its French royal furnishings (I guess technically Belgian royal?). Behind the bar there are a plethora of old photographs and an old style cafe menu board for their beers. When it first opened, they only had a few of their own on tap, but that has been rectified with only a cider and some other style they are not going to brew on the board. The bar has ample seating if you prefer to sit at a bar. They also have an outdoor space with picnic tables and will open up the "garage door" windows on temperate days (more airflow). Sitting on Chestnut Hill, you have a decent view of downtown only partially obscured by trees. And, if the windows are open, you can stick you head out and see the Woo Girls on leaving party bus central as they turn right on 4th for downtown. :P Service: All of the beertenders do a great job. For those in the scene for any length of time, you might recognize Zach, who has beertended at both Tailgate OG and Various Artists (RIP). The owners/brewmasters are often on site and willing to have a nice beer chat. Beer: Their primary style is Belgian, ranging from dubels and triples to Saisons and Farmhouse ales. They also have the requisite set of IPAs (hazy) and they have RESIST! (Ukranian beer with donations for Ukraine aid) and a hoppy pils (India Pale Pils is how I would describe it), as well as a baltic porter (less common style). Overall, I feel they have pretty much nailed the styles (for those on Untappd, beers in the upper threes with a few low fours, so decent for the Nashville scene). Beers served in full and half pours. Food: None directly on premise, but you can order from Il Forno next door and have food brought over. Did not look at the menu on premise, but think it was focused on pizza only. If you have not tried Il Forno, it is a very nice Italian restaurant. Bringing the food over gives you a better view, however. Overall? I have been thrice thus far (said in my best Shakespearean English - yeah, I know, not Belgian) and it has been a good trip each time. And I am sure I will circle back again.

It is absolutely beautiful inside, but the drinks were not at all what I would consider my or my husband's taste. I think if you're a sours fan or someone who really like authentic Belgium beer, then Fait La Force is for you. Us on the other hand, we were more of a single drink type of visit and done. They do have food with their neighboring restaurant that you can enjoy while visiting the brewery. I would encourage you to partake if you want to dine and drink. We simply drank. The 3 stars reflect the drink selection. Service was fine and accompanying.

Cutesy brewery tucked in next to a few other adjoining businesses. Could be a cool spot to watch a game as the projector screen that rolls down is large. The beer was good. The food was apparently where they make their money, as it was slightly overpriced. Nice staff, no complaints. Easy enough parking.

Absolute 10/10. The beer was phenomenal, and the atmosphere was even better. The beertender working the night I went was super helpful and really knew his stuff. We ordered a pizza and pasta from IL Forno, and it was also great. There's plenty of parking too. Y'all, this brewery deserves to be pretentious, but it's not and that's the best part!

This has to be one of the better brewery atmospheres in Nashville. The indoor decor is quirky/comfortable and the outside keeps a neighborhood brewery feel! Beautiful views of downtown. Drop by during sunset for the view!

Great little local brewery. Cute inside with a good variety of their own beers, mixed with other breweries and non-alcoholic drinks. Basically no food (some chips, etc) but you can order from the Italian restaurant below. They have recently opened and are lacking some outside decor but have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating which is nice! Pet and kid friendly.

Chill mode engaged. Awesome place to just relax. Great Euro beers and and a great atmosphere. Bartender super cool and personable. Environment is off the charts for relaxing. Open concept ndustrial paired with Victorian. A step up on the brewery scene. Highly recommend for a relaxing afternoon.

Perfect local brewery for a beer and a pizza! They have pizza from Il Forno next door which is also delicious. Plus the atmosphere is great, I'm excited to enjoy the patio in the spring!

What a vibe! Wonderful beers in a cozy setting. Definitely coming back and bringing friends! Love all the outdoor seating too.

Great atmosphere, great beer, great service. All around 10/10! If you are in the area- fait la force is a must!

This place is an absolute hidden gem! What a rad little place. Super cool vibes and decor here. Outstanding beers to boot. The only negative was that the beertender got our beers reversed, twice. That's a little hard to understand, considering you work at the brewery but whatever.

I heard about this new brewery and that they'd done a collab with two other breweries to make a Ukrainian beer so we had to check them out on a warm Saturday evening. There's parking along the street and a lot across the road from them so we didn't have to walk far. The building is a large grey structure with several businesses inside. We walked up the stairs onto their enormous patio with a view of downtown over the treetops. Inside was so cool- both literally and figuratively with the air conditioning providing a respite from the evening heat. The decor is a perfect mosh-up of modern industrial and grandma's attic. Plenty of places to sit whether you want a table or comfy old sofa. The walls are decorated with old photos and the beer menu is right from my childhood- a light up sign weathered with age and absolutely perfect in this setting. We noticed the beer menu is strong in European brews but was varied enough to offer something for everyone. We approached the bar, was warmly greeted and was offered guidance in making our selection. We tried Admiral Of The Seas: Baltic Porter and the Resist: Ukrainian Anti-Imperial Stout. I thoroughly enjoyed the Porter, smooth and full bodied without leaving a bitter aftertaste. My husband enjoyed the Stout which was more full bodied with a slightly more hoppy finish. They do offer a few snacks but don't have a kitchen, they're very open to you ordering from local restaurants nearby or bringing in your own food. Definitely a plus having such a large covered patio up off the street. Not sure why the place wasn't hopping on a Saturday night but why question perfection?

Great new brewery. Well rounded offering, fairly priced and awesome atmosphere! Beautiful view of the city too. Highly recommend.
