Written by Is this place still open? We think it might have closed, because its website stopped responding (checked 30 Aug 2026) and there have been no Untappd check-ins for over a year. Neither is proof, so the entry is still here.
Southern Strain’s Plaza Midwood location features a garage door opening for an open-air feel, pouring from 28 taps with a 10-seat bar and several tables. Outdoor seating is limited.
Cans are available to go, and there’s a cigarette machine dispensing odd trinkets. The art on the walls is for sale. The bathroom is in a shared business area, and the men’s room has no urinals (which makes you question if you are in the right place.)
Flights are available but priced as partial pours at variable rates without disclosing such. I was surprised to see my flight of 4 come to about $15 (but they are larger than normal, 6oz, pours).
