About

The Car Barn will transform your next party into a magical event to be remembered! From the time your guests set their eyes on the vintage exterior of The Car Barn, they will be greeted with the “WOW” factor…and will be overwhelmed at the fun and excitement the over 7,000 square foot interior space holds!

Inside the foyer, guests are immediately drawn to the vintage feel of a player piano and other antique furnishings sure to get the conversation rolling! As they round the corner onto Bentley Lane, the main dining and dancing area, they will be surprised to find the space has been transformed into a virtual city! As guests stroll down Bentley Lane, they are entertained and amused by the intricate landscape of downtown Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain, and the incline railway. Guests will be delighted to see The Blues Brothers perched on the back of a vintage truck complete with beverages and/or hors d’oeuvres to get the party started! From there, guests feast their eyes on the movie theatre complete with popcorn machine, and as they move down the paved brick lane, they are delighted to see the storefront replica of a Krystal restaurant, a local barber shop, the town pub, a replica of the Las Vegas Harley Davidson restaurant, and the winding streets complete with street lights through the rest of the town!
The Diesel Lounge, located upstairs, changes the pace for guests to relax away from the music and visit the large bar area complete with game tables, large screen TVs, fireplace, and relaxing couches perfect for a break from the party! For quiet chatting, relaxing, or feasting on the wonderful food prepared specifically for your event by The Car Barn, The Diesel Lounge gives guests an oasis away from the life of the party!

The Car Barn is a MUST-SEE, one-of-a-kind venue! The Car Barn is the hidden jewel of Chattanooga just waiting to be uncovered! Having a party at The Car Barn means having a party that will be talked about for years to come! Are you ready yet?

Fabulous food, service, fun for all ages! Hosted an after rehearsal dinner for 75, and we lived out of state. The Car Barn crew took care of everything. Shirley and Kaitlynn were so helpful and professional during every phase of the process.
Wonderful experience!

I would recommend The Car Barn to anyone who is looking for a FUN and UNIQUE venue to have their wedding in the Chattanooga area!! I was so pleased with the staff and their eagerness to help my husband, guests, and myself. They made sure everything was just how I wanted it. I didn't have to lift a finger before or after the event because their staff literally handled everything! There is no other place in Chattanooga that serves such delicious and well-presented food! It was amazing! My wedding day is one I will never forget, memories that I made at The Car Barn will last a lifetime! Thanks to all involved to make my day so special!

As a DJ we all have our favorite venues to work. The Car Barn has everything you could ask for. Decorations are already in place and there is plenty of room downstairs and then you have the bar area upstairs. Shirley Camp and her staff, are always friendly and helpful and will be more than happy to work with you on the layout and everything else you need. We have provided the music for private parties, engagement parties and so many weddings, I've lost count. We love The Car Barn.

The Car Barn is such a unique venue! Around every corner are great antiques, murals, and an amazing marquis sign to celebrate the honored guests - all of which has added such character to the events that I've photographed at the Car Barn! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and such a joy to be around! I've just had the honor of photographing a personal event for the owner - not only was she wonderful to work with, she knows how to pull together an amazing party!
