Cool low-key spot on the river with a lot of billiards. Very friendly staff !!!

Aaron was great! We came in on our second trip and he was so nice. Aaron greeted us on the elevator and we had no clue he was the bartender at the time, he made sure we knew our way around from our first step in. Aaron made sure we were taken care from the time walked in until we decided to call it a night. We will continue to come back because of Aaron! Thank you brother

This place could be so cool, yet it fails. The place is dated and a bit grungy in the daylight, though they are painting the outside which should help. The burger we ordered was not bad, the chicken sandwich was so tough you almost couldn't chew it, the same for the chicken on the salad. The best thing was the kids chicken fingers (standard frozen ones you fry) however they came a good twenty minutes after the adults were served....that was a disaster. I so wanted this place to great.

Do you ever wish your Grandma lived on an old riverboat? Do you also wish you could go head to head with her and 83 of her closest friends in darts? Well look no further! The boat sits right on the river. Couldn't ask for a better spot. The boat was eerily quiet as we walked up, but we pushed inside. On the first floor was a gift shop with an alarming amount of souvenirs. Thousands upon thousands of boat themed items. But this was 3rd deck burger bar, we wanted to where the action was. We took the elevator up to the 3rd deck, stepped off the elevator and back in time. It was 1990 and I was back in my grandmas basement again. Same smell, same couches, same carpet, same everything. The 3rd deck is one large room with tables in the middle, a bar at the end, and tvs lining the outside. About 5 or 6 big screens on each side with couches surrounding each tv. The place is silent. The 80s soft rock is on the lowest possible setting almost as if they're are whispering sweet words to you. Perhaps it was nap time before bingo kicked off and they'll be damned if Hall and Oates disturbed their guests. On the outside edge of this room were a few dart boards. And by a few I mean at least 25. Maybe this is where the World Series of Darts is, I don't know. The lighting came from the tiny windows on the side of the boat which was nice. Especially since I enjoy drinking alone in the dark on river boats. The area leading to the outside deck had ping pong tables because why waste more deck space with outside seating? The outside deck was nice. The river breeze was great. It's what you would expect if you were on a boat or something. Had a beer and left for greener pastures. I gave it three stars because everyone around us seemed to like their food. Also, i think this place has huge potential. Open it up, get natural light and a fresh air in the boat, play loud music to bring people in. Because who doesn't love a boat party?!

This place is a hidden gem!! Kaitlyn was so fun and welcoming, and the snacks were so on point! Perfect girls lunch!

The entire staff is extremely rude! We showed up with a reservation and they stated we did not have said reservation and were not nice about it! We went to the back about 10 minutes later and sat down not realizing we had to order up front (I admit that's not their fault, just would have been nice to know). Finally went and we all ordered (we were a large group) and the guy taking orders was again rude! I mentioned to someone in our group that it's ok it's all going to be ok, and his response was that's debatable. I even got up from my seat to open the door for a server with food and he walked right past me without even acknowledging me. No napkins, no silverware. And when we were missing three meals he looked at me like I was crazy and said ok. 10-15 minutes later they finally arrived. Basically if you want to wait on yourself, pay for crappy service, and still be expected to tip 20% be my guest but we won't ever be back!

We enjoyed a late lunch on a beautiful 'Nooga afternoon. Got a burger and wings. The burger was pretty darn good, without being pretentious. Topping selections are the norm so the burger itself could shine. The wings had a really tasty sauce, but I thought they were small. Bartender was friendly, helpful, and attentive. I look forward to going back and watching some football in the little living rooms. Hope there are more folks there. It was pretty empty when we went. (Not always a bad thing)

The view from the 3rd Deck BB on a beautiful Chattanooga afternoon.

20 minutes for a order of loaded fries on 3rd floor burger bar. It was loaded for sure, loaded with olives. Very dissatisfied for 10$ loaded fries

I had a bad experience. I don't want to say too much about it other than you should probably stick with beer.

We had a fantastic experience tonight!! We were a little worried when it was so empty... But we quickly realized it is a hidden gem!! The food was fantastic, the service was great and the kids had a blast playing air hockey and fooseball!! And to top it off... They gave us a golf cart ride back to the parking lot!!! Definitely recommend this place!!
