Springfield might be a small town, but when it comes to finding a great drink, it punches way above its weight. Whether you’re in the mood for a chill craft beer, an expertly poured glass of wine, or a cocktail that surprises you in the best way, Springfield’s Square has you covered.

Here are three spots proving that “nothing to do here” is just bad intel.

🍷 Wilde Wine Co. – Wine Without the Pretense

Some places just get it right right off the bat, and Wilde Wine Co. is one of them. This isn’t your typical wine spot – it’s a laid-back, unpretentious spot where the staff actually wants to help you find a wine you’ll love (no judgment if you don’t know the difference between a Cab and a Pinot).

For a small town, their offerings are incredibly expansive, yet thoughtfully curated, they offer everything from bold reds to crisp whites to funky natural wines and spirits. Plus, their curated monthly wine club gives you a chance to taste a little of everything, and the picks are tailored to you based on your feedback monthly.

Location: 508 S. Main Street. Springfield, TN 37172
Vibe: Cozy, cool, and perfect for lingering
Must-Try: They have free classes each week to help expand your palate, with cocktail classes each Thursday at 6 pm and wine classes each Saturday at 4 pm

🍺 BS Brew Works – The Go-To for Craft Beer (..and wine and cider and cocktails)

Springfield’s own BS Brew Works is what happens when people who love beer and love their community even more open a brewery. Their taproom is the kind of place where you can walk in once and feel like a regular, and their lineup of small-batch brews rotates semi-frequently—so you’re always going to find something new to sip on along with their incredible food menu. Whether you’re into something crisp and light, or has a bit more body to it, these guys know their beer. Plus, there are wines, ciders, seasonal cocktails and more to enjoy (including tons of non-alcoholic options). Plus, the taproom is family-friendly!

Location: 1010 South Main Street, Springfield, TN 37172
Vibe: No-frills/come as you are, all flavor, and 100% local
Must-Try: Their Tuesday Trivia nights are incredibly popular. If you have a know-it-all in the family, bring them to it and win! And the nachos…omg try the nachos.

🍸 Mystic Picnic – Cocktails With a Side of Magic

This one’s for the cocktail people looking for a night out. Mystic Picnic is small, intimate, and packed with personality. The menu is always changing though they have some incredible staples. The flavors are unexpected but never overcomplicated, and the entire space feels like a cool little secret you’re lucky to know about. Whether you’re ordering a classic cocktail with a twist, a great glass of wine, or something entirely new, Mystic Picnic will probably end up being your new favorite spot.

Location: 613 S Main St, Springfield, TN 37172
Vibe: Artsy, cozy, and effortlessly cool
Must-Try: Whatever the bartender recommends, seriously, just trust them.

So, What’s the Move?

If you’re beer-first, wine-obsessed, or cocktail-curious, Springfield’s got something for you – you just have to know where to look.

Next time someone says, “There’s nothing to do here,” send them this list. Then meet them downtown for a drink.

Cheers.
