Mike's Hole in the Wall — Restaurant in Chattanooga

Quaint little watering hole we found when the husband and I came down to Chattanooga for our nieces wedding.

Stopped in late night on a Sunday night with 45+ in our party bus and was still very lively for being well past 1 AM. Very nice atmosphere, great music, and surprisingly great pub fare (the wings were phenomenal).

Staff was super welcoming and catered to all our needs. The young general manager Niko was extremely professional and came to all of our tables on several occasions to ensure everything was exceeding expectation. He is undeniably a rising star in the industry and will no doubt be a cornerstone to build around for that establishment.

The one minor issue we had was in regards to the lead bartender that evening... didn’t get his name.. middle aged gentleman that was wearing Oregon University gear. He seemed slightly disinterested in providing stellar service and would not offer us the beer flight menu upon request. Also seemed somewhat unknowledgeable when several in our group asked him about potential wine pairings for our main courses.

I wanted to edit my review to acknowledge the response by MHITW. I really appreciate the fact you acknowledged a terrible first visit and that you dropped the ball. We may be back, yet. Thank you.

The second one pictured was leaning toward over done. Very salty. They used the same set up for second plate so now the onion rings are stone cold. It took 40 minutes to get the first plate of fried fish and we were the only table eating at 5pm. Service was terrible. I had to wave down our server each and every time to get her attention to A. Let her know we are here. B. Take our order C. To ask for the bill and D. To get the receipt. Maybe because we were a married couple and not the regulars which look like old men that drink all day. It's hard to argue with the open air dining unless you are inside next to the open window where two smokers set up shop at the table next to you but technically outside. We were glad we tried it but...
