Chili Cook Off At Keg And Barrell

Amazing food. I love the whisky pimento sandwich, and the drunken veggie burger! Yum!! The space is clean and cool and has a wonderful front porch. Bar tender makes a great martini! I come here about every time I come to Hattiesburg. They also have fun events and live music.

This is probably my favorite non-fancy bar in town. Pours strong drinks, has a good bottle and draft selection for very reasonable prices, and remarkably solid bar food. It's my burger of choice in Hattiesburg, though looks unassuming at first glance. My one suggestion would be more consistency in how the beef is cooked, sometimes the burger is more done than other times.

Premier music venue in Downtown Hattiesburg with some terrific live music, and a great restaurant and bar in its own right! One of my favorite hamburgers in the Pinebelt, especially when topped with their whiskey pimento cheese. Their red beans and rice are tasty at The Hippo or at Live 5, and their red bean hummus with fresh veggies is the perfect appetizer. The back room makes for a perfect venue for luncheons, workshops, etc. Great spot in Downtown Hattiesburg.

This is about the best locally-owned, laid-back bar to hang out in around these parts. There are admittedly not that many such establishments to choose from, but I'd likely hang out here even in a bigger market. There's a good selection of beers, a few craft cocktails, and the food is very good. I've had almost everything that's vegetarian (by choice not design), and everything has been quite tasty. I don't think you'll go wrong as a carnivore as well. The only downside is the service can be a little slow--keep that in mind when ordering food or your next round.

Good food, good music, good atmosphere. Their pimento cheese has a major kick that's unique and something you haven't tried before, and the red beans taste as though they've cooked all day long! They bring in live acts from across the region and country, and you'll find some great gigs right here! Diverse crowd, safe environment, great stop.
