Hal and Mal’s Restaurant and Brewery

A really cool, funky restaurant and bar, which I gather also often has live music (although none on our Fridey evening visit). The place itself is fairly large, with some neon lighting casting a novel glow, and lots of interesting ephemera on the walls. The beer range isn’t bad at all. The server said they have about 30 different beers across draft and bottle. We had two MS beers on our visit, both quite decent. The food here is pretty awesome: enjoyed a seafood platter (deep-fried catfish, shrimp and mussels), gumbo (great), and a seafood bisque (good, if a little buttery - or maybe that’s always how bisque is; we don’t have it much). Excellent service. Good value. Overall, it seems like this place is one of the better meal options in Jackson. I would recommend a visit, as in addition to the good food you can enjoy a local beer.

Downtown location, food was pretty good with a few local taps, had Timber beast on, no longer brewing in house

This place has been around for quite a while and is really known more as a live sound venue than a restaurant/bar (i think) I always thought their house brewed beers were great when they were doing that and hate that they quit. FYI.. selection all over Mississippi is pretty skimpy due to the laws here.

No longer a brewpub - Ordered a SNPA from bottle and they no longer carried this either. Macro hell served in bottles only. Had to hang my clothes in the hotel shower and take a bath after I got out of here to rid myself of the noxious fumes. Sound like fun to you?

A little hard to find, a little on the grubby side.
