Restaurant Build-Out & Interior Design in Chattanooga, TN

CCI Events designs, builds and installs restaurant and bar interiors for Chattanooga owners and operators, from a single custom bar to a complete dining room. We handle the concept, millwork, furniture, signage and installation with one team.

A full interior team for Chattanooga restaurants

Chattanooga's dining scene keeps growing along the riverfront, on the Southside and across the North Shore. Whether you are opening your first restaurant or bringing a proven concept to the Scenic City, we design the space, build the pieces in our shop and bring our own crew to install them.

What we build for Chattanooga restaurants

  • Restaurant, bar, brewery and café interior build-outs
  • Custom bars, back bars and host stands
  • Booths, banquettes and upholstered seating
  • Custom dining and communal tables built to your specifications
  • Commercial millwork, wall paneling, shelving and cabinetry
  • Patio and rooftop bars, planters, screens and pergolas
  • Signage, menu boards, murals and feature walls
  • Temporary and seasonal interiors for pop-ups and events
  • Custom props and themed decor for bars, breweries and family venues

Where we work around Chattanooga

We serve Downtown Chattanooga, the Southside and Main Street, the North Shore, the Riverfront, St. Elmo, Highland Park, Hixson and the Hamilton Place area, plus Cleveland, Ooltewah, Signal Mountain and Lookout Mountain.

Planned in advance, installed fast

Pieces are built and pre-fit in our shop, then delivered complete and installed in a tight window, which keeps time on site short and your opening schedule on track.

For permanent build-outs that include permitted work such as electrical, plumbing, mechanical or structural changes, we work alongside your architect and a general contractor licensed in your state, or bring in licensed trade partners, so your design, millwork and furniture package fits the permitted plan.
