According to an article from Murfreesboro Pulse, Mr. Brews Taphouse will expand to its first location in Tennessee, located at 5525 Franklin Road.
“Our official opening date will depend on when construction finishes, but as of right now, we are looking at December 11th for our opening,” co-owner Marty Bell told What Now Nashville.
“The journey to opening Mr. Brews Taphouse was a significant career shift for me. Previously, I had a 19-year career with Hertz Corporation and a total of 26 years in the rental car industry. I stated I would only be working for two more years, and after that, I wanted to do something in the community or open my own business.”
“I had a two-year stay in Southern California during the pandemic, and that provided the opportunity to visit numerous breweries and taphouses. The vision became clear to me then – a taphouse or pub was the desired path. My wife, Mindi Bell who is the other co-owner, and I considered multiple franchises, and we ultimately felt that Mr. Brews stood out as a welcoming and family-oriented establishment, which we wanted.”
“We take a lot of pride in being female-owned as well as veteran-owned. We also are locals, with my wife being originally from Woodbury, and I originally from Nashville, and we have lived in Murfreesboro for the last 18 years,” Marty added.
One of the highlights of Mr. Brews Taphouse is its extensive beer selection, boasting a variety of 60 different craft beers on tap. The establishment aims to offer a menu that encourages patrons to stay and dine, avoiding the need to look for meals elsewhere. While the menu is not overly complex, it emphasizes the use of house-made sauces, multiple hours of preparation by a dedicated team, and a commitment to using only fresh, never-frozen Hereford beef for its burgers.
The menu features a range of options, including wings, wraps, burger bowls, salads, and a Wisconsin favorite – cheese curds. In addition, the Bells are considering the introduction of a locally inspired Indiana pork tenderloin, with each pub customizing some menu choices to cater to the tastes of the local area.
