Proof is a small brewery/bar, but when I saw those pictures of growlers, as well as a fairly comprehensive list of house beers on Ratebeer and Beer Advocate, I started to get a little excited. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations.
It's a perfectly pleasant place to partake. Spacious and clean, young crowd. I'd call the selection here decent, but something was missing. I was looking forward to trying the house brews, but they only had ONE on tap. Come on, if you're a brewery, even a tiny one like this, you have to have more than one of your beers on tap. As it stood, it was a competent pale ale, but the lack of other Proof beers was a bit of a letdown. Hopefully, this was a rare oversight, or me just hitting the bar on the wrong day.
When I first came to Tallahassee, I didn't know anyone here. Not a soul. I was building my life and social network from scratch.
I live nearby Proof and would go down 2-3 times a week, just making friends and getting to know my new environment. The bartenders were (still are) extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating in a time where I had no idea what I was doing, in life or in beer.
Since that time, my tastes in beer have swelled, I am way more adventurous with beers, wines, ciders, and liquors, and I've learned a lot about brewing.
I may not be able to go out much anymore due to my busy work schedule, but I still love Proof and all the friends I made this last year.
5 stars, for excellent service, amazing beers, and awesome memories.
I'll keep this review simple.
Slick, modern bar that feel warm and homey at the same time. Â Great selection of beers and pretty much has something you like or would like on tap. Â But another big plus is that they also accommodate non-beer fanatics with a full bar. Â
Bartenders are knowledgeable and down to earth.
So simply put, it's an awesome bar. Â Pretty popular on any night I've been.
Oh, they've got a small parking lot in the front so either come early or just park at Starbucks next door (they're closed anyways, I'm sure Starbucks wouldn't mind).
My favorite bar in Tallahassee. It is modern and hip, yet casual and confortable. Fantastic beer selection, fair prices, and they list the prices of every drink they sell in the menu-- a pet peeve of mine.
They have a number of televisions and a projector but it doesn't at all seem like a sports bar.
Been coming here since it opened and it is always a good time with reliable beer selections. The prices are very reasonable and for Tallahassee, this place is always a good spot since they only let in people over 21 years old so you don't have to deal with the younger students at FSU. My only issue with this place is that while it has a good selection of beer for being in Tallahassee, I feel like it could be better. Additionally, the parking is terrible. There are only about 6 spaces so you have to park at Ruby Tuesday. Other than that, I will keep coming here as long as it is around.
Review Source:When i go home (to crawfordville) my friends and I will drive to tally town just to come here. They have a HUGE selection of draft beers. Its possibly the cheapest craft beer pints i have seen anywhere. Its a fun college environment. Dont pass it up for some of the other places around, especially if you are into beer.
