Vibe: Artistic, Trendy, Independent & Lively
Southside
Main Street eats, Station Street music, and a famous old train station.
The Southside is Chattanooga's creative and culinary playground, known for independent restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, live music, galleries, and historic industrial architecture. Centered around Main Street and the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo, this district offers some of the city's most memorable dining and nightlife experiences.
What makes Southside special
Old warehouses and rail lines have become bakeries, butcher counters, music halls, and art parks. Start at the Choo Choo's grand 1909 terminal, slip down Station Street for live music, grab bread at Niedlov's, and finish with sculpture and kites at Sculpture Fields.
