Bad Tom Smith Brewing

Good beer selection at a nice bar. The appetizers were pretty filling for me and my partner. It was really cool to see the bank vault turned into a seating area away from other people when the bar gets noisy. I noticed that they have trivia every Tuesday and paint nights every once in a while. I also loved how they made popcorn in a popcorn maker.

Beers are good! Parking next door....check out Shawn's new DIPA. They do have food. Check out seating in their old bank vault.

I have a really soft spot for the old location. We took our French bulldog there a couple times and for his birthday (they even gave him a Bad Tom bandana). Also I had a surprise 40th Birthday party for my Mr. Last thing, I miss the vintage vinyl player we used to play every time we visited. When I heard that they opened a new location in Madisonville, I was happy that it's closer to home and I knew the inside is going to be spacious. Plus this location has more beers on tap than the old spot. When we walked in, the first thing I noticed was the bank vault. Fits in with the brewery. So bright, nicely decorated, plenty of seating/TVs, and a lounging section if you want to play board games. They are still pet friendly and this time they have a kitchen! Simple menus for both drinks and food. If you are not a beer person, they do have wine and their own signature bourbon. My stomach was not feeling the beer so I opted for red wine (Malbec). Here's what we ordered:Ghost of Bad Tom white ale Roasted cauliflower bites (Chile lime rub w/ cilantro lime dip)Cheese pizza Vampire slayer pizza (roasted garlic purée, ricotta with house cheese blend, Genoa salami, fresh basil, and cracked black pepper)Hazard's German LagerCoal Hearted Killer Russian Imperial stoutTombstone chocolate stoutEverything was perfect! The pizzas were amazing and my fave was the Cilantro Lime Cauliflower bites. The sauce pairs well with it. We were there for a couple of hours and definitely enjoyed ourselves. We even played some board games (scrabble and Yatzee). Beertenders were very laid back and down to earth. Service was great!Yes... I can see ourselves coming back for sure! Love the new location!

Both my lady and I were big fans of the original location. We had lots of great times there and brought our dog Billy a few times. My lady even surprised me with a great 40th birthday party there. So when they announced the new location, we were both happy because it was gonna be closer to us, and likely even bigger than the original. Is it? Absolutely! More space to sit, more brews on tap (as well as wines and their own signature bourbon), and a full kitchen serving up tasty bites (Zablong Pizza Kitchen).The location itself looks like an old bank branch, complete with vault, and it's very spacious and cozy. They have TVs everywhere playing different sports games as well as a plethora of board games. My lady and I grabbed a table nearby the bar. If you're looking to order food, there are cards at each table to fill out your order, and once you've filled it, just hand it to a bartender and they'll bring your order to you when it's ready. We ordered some drinks, a couple pizzas, and some roasted cauliflower (chile lime rub with cilantro lime dip). Everything was immensely delicious! My lady mainly drank malbec because she wasn't feeling like beer. As for me...1. Ghost of Tom white ale2. Hazard's German lager3. Coal Hearted Killer Russian Imperial stout4. Tombstone chocolate stoutAll the brews were excellent! Though next trip, I do wanna sample their signature bourbon.We liked it before at the old location, and I think we like it more at this newer location, so they're bigger AND better! They're still very dog friendly too. Bad Tom equals great times!

Bad Tom Smith is a cute brewery off the beaten path. The decor is rustic and a prohibition-like style / vibe. When you walk in there are a bunch of high top tables along with bar seating. There are some big famous quotes along the walls regarding whiskey and drinking, rustic lamps and everything is made from dark wood. The best thing was that there are little pamphlets on each table/the bar which explained each beer in detail - this was especially helpful as they have so many beers on tap! At least 20! I am not an IPA fan so that little pamphlet was my best friend when truing to build my flight. Although I did not get this beer, they had a beer special that was made with opera cream from BonBonerie and mentioned they do collaborations like that often - something I thought was cool. FYI: They used to have a kitchen, but no longer do. You can order Mazunte chips/salsa and a few other items from nearby restaurants, but NOTE: there is no BBQ there anymore.

Stopped in this brand new home on their second day open. The place looks fantastic and I expect this will become a great neighborhood brewery. The beer selection is greatly improved and many show real potential. The beers I tried were very drinkable and I look forward to seeing how they mature as this place comes into its own. Popcorn available to purchase and BBQ from a location in Anderson. Welcome and congratulations on the new place , Bad Tom's!

A favorite brewery of mine. Their popcorn machine is back, for those of you that remember it from the Eastern Ave location. I'm a happier patron again.

I had a nice chat with the owners, mostly about our dogs. Nice steady flow of customers, some regulars and some I don't know.Colin is always a wonderful bartender.

Beers my wife loves! And the coolest of warm welcoming retro pub environs with service from people like Kari that will blow you away and don't forget to taste the Bourbons they have crafted some Bourbons that will compete with the pappy Vanwinkle's of the world.

Awesome place. Great neighborhood bar. Brady the bartender would get six stars if I could give him that many. Food was awesome too!
