Smith & Lentz Brewing

Smith & Lentz Brewing is a neighborhood brewery and pizza restaurant in East Nashville, pairing house-brewed beer with a food program centered on sourdough pizza. Its roughly 16-inch pies are made with Carolina Ground flour and fermented dough, with seasonal produce sourced from nearby Tennessee farms. The brewery also makes ice cream in house using local dairy. Visitors can choose from indoor seating, a beer garden, and an outdoor patio, making the space as much a full-service restaurant as a traditional taproom. The beer lineup includes styles such as pilsners and IPAs brewed on site, while wine and nonalcoholic options broaden the drink selection. For visitors exploring East Nashville, Smith & Lentz stands out for combining a working brewery with a particularly food-focused taproom experience.
