Proof Brewing Company

Proof in Railroad Square is one my go-​to places. Not only are they brewing up their own beers but they always have a great selection of other Florida breweries. I love coming here to grab a drink on a Sunday afternoon or early evening. They have an awesome patio /​yard area for hanging with friends. You can grab some chairs and chat, play bocce ball, cornhole or ping pong!

What can I say? This place makes me happy. The staff members are friendly and knowledgeable. The beer is so, so good!
I especially love this place in cooler months. It is mainly an outdoors venue. In Tallahassee, with mostly mild winters, you can head out on a January evening with a sweater or light jacket and sit outside in a beer garden. Proof is one of the best places in town to enjoy this kind of night.
The beer these folks are brewing is superlative. On my most recent visit, I had the Ghost Totem — a coffee porter that had just the level of coffee flavor.
I order Proof beers when I see them around town at other places. Last week, at a Midtown watering hole, I ordered Proof’s Assassin Caterpillar. The name is super cool, of course. What is better is how this beer tastes. A ride to flavor town, folks. Order it. You will thank me and praise the beer Gods that Proof is thriving in Tallahassee’s beer scene.

As the first bar/​brewery I ever visited in Tallahassee after I moved here, Proof holds a special place in my heart. It is one of those places to continues to get better and better every time I go there, whether it’s a new beer on the menu or the amazing new and improved outdoor biergarten, complete with bean bag toss sets and bocce ball. The bartenders are always kind and welcoming, sweetening the experience of grabbing a good beer here in the evening. Occasionally, Proof offers special events like yoga or art classes. No matter your taste in beer, Proof has the perfect one for you. I look forward to my next visit soon!

When we lived here for college, Proof on Tennessee opened and we immediately loved it! They had great craft beers that weren’t available in many places. So when we heard that Proof had opened their own brewery in the Railroad Square district we were excited to try it out.
We came up for the FSU vs Chattanooga game (late Nov 2015) and afterwards headed over to Proof Brewing Company. The weather in late November is usually pretty chilly, but this has been an exceptionally warm Fall in Florida. However, this weekend’s weather was perfect: mid 60s.
If you’re not familiar with the area known as Railroad Square, it’s a little bit off the beaten path along Gains and Railroad and is the home of Tallahassee’s local art scene. There are monthly festivals and activities held here which makes it the perfect spot for a local brewery.
There is plenty of parking located around the brewery’s building (which is unusual for Tallahassee). As you walk, up you’re immediately greeted with the large outside seating and gaming area. There is a large artificial turf lawn with plenty of tables and seating areas. Twinkly lights live above and creates this soft lighting. There are several cornhole boards set up and a couple bocci ball fields off to the side. The inside hosts a large bar with ample space to grab a beer and lots of seating at a few long tables.
As for the beer, there are a bunch of choices. I had the Creatures of the Dark (milk stout) which was delicious! Everything was reasonably priced (around $ 6). They had other brews outside of their own like Cigar City.
I can guaranteed that we’ll be coming back every time we come up for a visit!

Probably one of my favorite breweries… Ever. And that’s saying a lot being from Cincinnati… A city with 14 breweries and counting. Its Not just for the amazing and wide selection of beer. But the atmosphere here is so fun and casual. I absolutely love the outdoor area and all it has to offer.
Personally, I’m a gamer which is another reason why I love Proof. It has bocce ball, cornhole, and ping pong. Not a gamer? Then that’s okay. Comfy furniture, nice lighting and ambiance AND pretty tropical plants potted throughout to just take it all in, sip, and relax.
Occasionally bands play here too. I would not recommend coming here on first Fridays however, because then it’s just a cluster. Any other day, this is the best place to enjoy a brew on a nice, outdoorsy type of day.

You have to visit the Proof Brewery! This place is beautiful and, if there is good weather, the outside space is very relaxing. I highly recommend getting a flight to taste several of the different Proof beers. You will not be disappointed.

Ah, just what I needed during my brief visit to Tally: A brewery!
I visited the brewery with the beergarden (I have been told there are two Proofs). I adored the outdoor seating arrangements, though my company and I sat at the bar inside. They have a wonderful selection of house-​brewed and outside beer on draft. While I can’t say that the beer I tried was the best craft beer in the world (I’m from Jacksonville and spoiled with excellent breweries!) It was pretty good and reasonably priced.
Proof offers an affordable and relaxing brewery experience. Definitely recommend!

Sitting here now. Haven’t gotten around to the cornhole, but it’s set up and ready to go, and the rest of the patio is great for enjoying one of Proof’s fine brews! Super chill brewery, and I don’t say chill lightly. I’m here by myself and the bartenders are friendly and easy to talk to. Also, they play great music, according to my taste, which is a crucial component of any bar’s atmosphere.
Oh, and the beers are delicious too! I’ve been in TLH for a couple days, and this is the best watering hole here for sure! Trust me, I know these things.

I had one of those home beer making kits and thought I was really doing something until I tried a flight from Proof. When I got up the next morning (yes, 11:22am is technically still morning) the kit and all related paraphernalia went straight into the rubbish bin… Why bother with the trouble and expense when all you have to do is pop into Proof for a pint or take a growler back to your place. The old saying the proof is in the pudding has officially been changed to the Proof is in the beer. Try one today and I think you will agree. This is Tallahassee’s premier brewery so if you are local or just visiting make sure Proof is on your itinerary.

Love it. Awesome beer selection. Very cool vibe. Really like the open view into the brewery. Great place to enjoy some really good beer. The outside area is going to be awesome in the fall.

Can’t say enough great things about our group’s experience at Proof Brewery thanks to Bryan! He and his team are amazing as is the whole vibe at Proof. Such a fun spot inside and out. Thanks for helping to create a lasting memory for our family!

This Proof location has an amazing outdoor space, which will be ideal in the Fall/​Spring months. The beers are, as usual, delicious and served at the perfect temperature. I’m a fan of the Mango Whit beer, but I have heard that all Proof beers are tasty from my fellow Proof-​goers. The inside is small and has few tables, but I think that this spaces serves more as only a place to get your beer, whereas the gathering should happen outside. My only gripe, for now, is the parking situation. Railroad square is a disaster for tires and parking in general, with most businesses posting «tow» signs even when closed. My suggestion is to carpool here!

I really like this location for Proof! I love the Mango Whit beer, for one, as it is very crisp and has that mild mango flavor which makes it perfect for warm summer nights. Secondly, it has a great outdoor area with lots of different games such as bocci ball and ping pong which makes it a fun option for a low key night out with friends. The only thing I would alter is they could use a bit more music or turn it up a little louder. That’s not usually something I would say, but I remember thinking the last time that music was missing. I would certainly recommend checking out Proof at Railroad Square!

First of all, you had me at beer, and I really enjoyed some samplings from the original location…
But this Proof location has it doing on… taking the warehouse brewery and adding just a few seemingly minor touches that make a very cool, and huge impact.
Amazing outside seating, complete with astro turf and typical brewery (and fun) games, this is a super spot for grabbing an amazing local brew and enjoying some Florida weather. (And, if it’s a little too hot for you, there is some canned air inside.
And don’t forget Fido, this place is pup friendly! Yay!
I’ve had a few flights, and as an IPA girl, I can’t get over the Guru, with it’s boldness an hoppy finish.
If you are a craft beer lover, support this local brewery and head on this way.

The first ever event for Tallahassee’s CA Matt. He picked a newer brewery for this event. Now this place is cool even for a non drinker. The place is more then sweet. They have a bunch of big (6 – 10 tops) and a bunch of smaller one on the make believe grass back yard. They have a lot of string lights to make this a smooth drinking and game playing hag out. They had corn hole games some
Lawn bowling, ping pong, and some stuff to. The bar area has a ton of beers on tap and you can look right into the spotless brew house. They even have a restaurant close by and a restaurant that will deliver. How cool in that. We drank a fair amount and enjoyed some of the fine cuisine of a local food truck Kubana. The food was great and the venue rocked. Hey Matt you pulled of a great event for your first one. Great job

My favorite place to drink in Tallahassee. All their beer is DELICIOUS. Great service, good prices, awesome atmosphere. Due to parking and crowding, I like this location much better than the Tennessee Street one. Proof is certainly a Tallahassee gem.

I was here for a private event in the brewery area, although we did experience the bar too. They were friendly to work with and set us up with corn hole in the brewing area. They charged us for an open bar, but only allowed us 4 beers while the bar offered far more at the same price. We asked about it and they said we would have to pay extra. .. should’ve asked more questions in the beginning.
We were allowed to bring in a caterer as they do not have food.
They do have an outdoor area with boche ball (league on Thurs nights), but it rained when we were there so no outside. The brew room area is plenty big for a group of about 40. It does get steamy, no a/​c in the brew area. .. they do have a couple of fans, but make sure they leave the big roll doors open or you will bake.
They offer tours too, but it is not much … typical craft brewery. Nice to have in Tally and the bar area does carry other beers from around the state.
If you are looking for a unique venue, give it a try. Enjoy!

I’ve been to both Proof locations, and this one is my favorite. The one on Tennessee tends to be crowded and full of college kids. This one, in Railroad Square, has a lot more room – especially outside both in the covered patio area and in the fenced-​in backyard with lawn chairs, tables and games. This location has a mix of ages, and on weekends some parents bring their kids and let them play in the yard. If you want a breather between drinks, you can walk around to all the little shops and sights on Railroad Square.
Since this is where Proof Brewing Co does their brewing, you can watch the process from the tasting room while trying their various offerings. You can also purchase growlers and «crowlers».
My only complaint is the seating, outside and inside, is limited; and, outside, if you’re in the yard area, the lawn chairs are cheap and wobbly and the tables don’t provide much traction for your beer glass (the yard is on something of a decline).

The Proof Brewery and Tasting Room in Railroad Square is one of the must visit spots if you are in Tallahassee. The tasting room generally has between eight and ten of Proof’s own beers on tap, and another ten or so from some of the best breweries in Florida. The room, patio and yard are very cool to hang out, and the staff is extremely knowledgeable. The owner, Byron, is usually around, and you will not meet a nicer guy. You can actually see into the production brewery while you hang out in the tasting room.
Also, their beer pretty much rules. My favorite is the Assassin Caterpillar Rye. So try one.

We find ourselves in Tallahassee quite a bit because we have family here. So we were extremely glad to find out that this little town has its own craft brewery!
We decided to visit this particular location because it seemed larger, and we were going the night before an important football. We anticipated a crowd, and boy, were we right! There is plenty of room at this location — especially outdoors — and it was still packed to the brim.
They have lots of large tables inside and outside. There are even couches outside. For games, they have a ping pong table, bocce ball, and cornhole. The outdoor area is seriously super pretty.
Beer-​wise, we liked most of what they had available. None of them were insanely spectacular, but we did enjoy the Keep Sweet Wheat, Mango Wit, and Sweet Potato Wheat. We wanted to try a couple of their other beers, but unfortunately they weren’t available.
I look forward to being back in Tallahassee to check out their other location and bottle shop.
