Tennessee's first legal cannabis restaurant is coming to Germantown this spring

Craft Cannabis founder Michael Solomon is expanding his cannabis empire with the addition of a soon-to-open restaurant.

Buds & Brews, an innovative, Germantown-based eatery on 1246 3rd Ave. N., is slated for a spring 2022 opening. Tennessee’s first cannabis bar and restaurant will have an American sports theme.

The restaurant will serveclassic meals that can be enhanced with legal, hemp-derived THC condiments that Solomon considers high-end. 

 "...our extraction process is solventless — like it’s fresh squeezed," he said.

But what does it taste like?

Using a coffee analogy, Solomon likens hemp to decaf and marijuana to its caffeinated counterpart. Condiments, which are manufactured and pre-sealed off-site, are designed to be mixed together.
