Exciting news, Nooga. After being first announced in January of 2022, Shady’s Corner is officially open for business.

The 21+ all-day deli and bar located on Cemetery Avenue is the work of Unknown Caller’s James Heeley, but folks can expect a different taste on this side of the street.

Featuring three sitting areas including a pup-friendly beer garden + outside bar, the spacious location has no shortage of places to hang in the shade.

James said they couldn’t be opening up at a better time with the warm weather, and after 16 months of labor + love, he can’t wait to share it with the public.

The menu offers various deli sandwiches, hot or cold, including a “Fancy Grilled Cheese” + even one inspired by Thanksgiving, “The Gobbler,” (think: all the good leftovers on bread). Want to have a little bit of everything? They’ve got you covered with a “build your own” option.

With the tagline “happy hour all day, every day” you can also expect cheap, quality cocktails + beer — yes, they have beer. Pro tip: spin the “Wheel of Misfortune” to see what the drink deal of the hour will be.

A few other note-worthy items include a weekend liquid + food brunch menu as well as drip coffee and cold brew for those early in the day hangs.

This spot has a coin machine so folks play pool and other games.

If the menu isn’t enough to entice you, try your hand at the arcade games in the back. Editor Haley personally enjoyed playing a classic round of Mortal Kombat.

Bonus: Food trucks are wanted — folks can inquire about how to get their truck spotlighted by contacting James via email.

“What Shady’s is, what we want it to be, is a place for everyone. Whatever you want Shady’s to be, it can be. Whenever you need it, it will be here for you” — James Heeley

The Chattanooga Lookouts have returned to AT&T Field for the 2023 MiLB season — so we thought we should pitch some tips on going to a game.

Before you go, make sure you read the stadium’s policies on being cashless and more. From there, you’re set to plan a day of fun at the field.

The team hosts several promotions throughout the week such as Thirsty Thursday where folks can enjoy $2 beers + Firework Fridays to enjoy a fireworks show, win or lose.

Bring your shades until the sun sets + a mitt so you can lookout for foul balls in the stands.

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack — you can never go wrong with ballpark food, but Editor Haley swears by the hot dogs + adds diced onions. Enjoy new menu items this season, including a black bean burger.

Now that you’re ready to play ball, see the team’s full season schedule to catch a game.
