Fountainhead Taproom, on Chattanooga’s Southside, has announced its closure after operating since 2019.

Owner Burt Casey thanked all of his customers in a social media post, where he shared the news.

“Many of you have stuck with us through a global pandemic, rising inflation, supply chain and staffing shortages, and much other chaos,” he wrote. “Your presence, support and kind words have been such an encouragement to us over the past five years.”

Casey hinted that a new business would be opening in the space soon but did not provide details.

Fountainhead was known for being a self-pour bar that offered craft beer, wine, ciders and a menu featuring hamburgers and food bowls.
