Venues in Knoxville, Tennessee

My friend and I met her for dinner at 6 on a Tuesday. Thought it was cute and their happy hour was decent. Didn’t have the hotdogs but we did have the oysters and sprouts as an appetizer. I would not order the oysters again simply because of their size. The sprouts were good but the curry sauce wasn’t for me. The scallops were delicious with the coconut rice though.

Best experience ever. As soon as we stepped in the door I was amazed by how beautiful it was, everyone was so sweet and our server Anthony was the best! Props to the chef because me and my boyfriend both agreed it was the best food we have ever had. Would love to make coming here a routine! Loved the vibes.

Cool sports bar near the Old City! Kind of a no-frills sports bar, but it’s done right. It’s big, it’s open and seemed like a cool hang. Definitely skew towards the younger crowd. However, I think just about anybody could hang out here. They have a pretty good setup with TVs, seating and bar service. They have pool tables in the back and a stage with live music in the front. It’s so big they were people playing cornhole inside! Just a short walk from Central St in heart of the Old City, but definitely worth it.

If you are college age this is the perfect place for you on game day! I am 58 so not really my crowd but what a loud and fun atmosphere! Everyone was having a great time! We just came to meet someone and have a beer. Even though I was wearing a Bulldog Jersey everyone was so kind to me! There are two bar areas. The bartenders were great!

THIS PLACE IS SO COOL! I have been twice now and absolutely love it! The experience starts from the second you walk in! I was actually shocked at how delicious the food was! And they have so many fun drinks that are very good! The atmosphere is so unique. A great place to go for dinner with friends, a date, or drinks with co workers. I honestly didn't want to leave!

This venue provided the best birthday weekend a guy could ask for! Brought my fiancé here with 6 friends, 8 total people drinking nonstop and only cost me $436, and worth every cent! Service was fast and attentive. Never went more than 15 minutes without a drink. And let me tell you about the drinks! They were delicious and fun and a real show worthy instagram post. Check it out, you won’t regret it.

Although we weren´t that amazed by the drinks and food themselves, I think it´s still worth checking out. The place has its own uniqueness and originality, especially with the drink menu and its interesting storytelling touch. And the girl who served us was just too nice.

The Vault is such a laid back vibe. The ambience is nice and the food was great! I wish they would play a little more variety of music, but other than that I would say it was a good vibe. Make sure to try the Martini Lemon Drops!

Great atmosphere and view on top of the Hyatt in downtown Knoxville. Angus sliders and avocado hummus were delicious. Also tried the Farragut old fashioned, had a nice vanilla hint to it. Recommend this spot!

Beautiful rooftop bar. The margarita I had wasn’t anything to write home about. The ambience was incredible. Beautiful views of downtown.

The Pilot Light is one of the few remaining gems of performance spaces remaining in the southeast, or anywhere at this point. If you live in Knoxville or are just visiting, you haven’t completed your time here without visiting. It stands on its own as one of the best music venues in the country.

One of, if not the last independent venues in Knoxville. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive and they always have some very talented musicians performing.

Suttree’s High Gravity Tavern has a cool, eclectic vibe with vintage pinball machines, arcade games, and live local music that gives it a fun, throwback feel. They’ve got a great selection of craft beers and some really unique ramen options. I had Matt’s Ramen (Regular) and the broth was bold and full of flavor. I added smoked brisket, scallions, and a poached egg, which made it even better. To drink, we tried the Cup PB&J Mixtape Sour. It seriously tastes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! Sweet, tart, and super nostalgic. Definitely not your average beer. We also tried the spinach and artichoke dip, quesadillas, and Rise & Shine Ramen.

We have been coming here for years and always get the outstanding Ramen and local meats you can add to the Ramen. Today we ventured out and got a quesadilla with added jalapeños. It was absolutely delicious as well as the homemade salsa that comes with it. It has an amazing splash of roasted garlic and honey! It is amazing what the little splash of honey does for the salsa! The staff is amazing and very friendly. If you are a local or just in town for a night and love ramen or want to snack this is a must try place.

We stopped in for the a bite before a play at the Tennessee theater. We had the beer cheese pretzels for an appetizer and the we quite tasty. We ordered two hot dogs and fries and the food was delecious. We liked the service and the atmosphere and will be back soon to try other menus items

Clancy’s is a fantastic tavern! Excellent atmosphere, super helpful staff and delicious food! My go-to meal is the bangers ‘n mash but the fish ‘n chips are wonderful too. Highly recommended business!

The mixologists here are clearly masters of their craft, whipping up drinks that are both delicious and inventive. Whether you're a classic cocktail aficionado or looking to try something new and adventurous, Brother Wolf delivers. The staff are attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do, making every visit a truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!

Such a cool restaurant! We went to Brother Wolf last night for a date night and absolutely loved it! Our food and cocktails were amazing! We both ordered the Hot Honey Peach cocktail. For food, we ordered the Focaccia Osteria Stella, the Arancini, and the Salumi e Formaggi. Everything was fantastic and full of flavor. The atmosphere was perfect for our date night. We visited on a Saturday, and it was busy. This didn’t affect our service at all! Our server was super attentive, friendly, and helpful with the menu. The menu has a great variety of authentic Italian cuisine, and we were both impressed. Our food came out in a timely manner and was delicious! I highly recommend Brother Wolf. We look forward to dining here again soon!

Went on a Saturday night and it was completely closed and dark inside! I'm new to the area and have heard good things but if this place is permanently or temporarily closed I wish they would update that on google so I didn't have to waste my time driving there ):

This is the best bar in Knoxville if you like a good hole in the wall and a good time.

This is a wonderful place to visit as a couple. It is so clean. The music is fantastic. This is a BYOB so remember that when you're arriving they do provide all the mixers. Theme nights are definitely the best.

It's a wonderful place for like-minded people to go and have unadulterated fun. A very respectful establishment.

The roof top bar was sooo cool. Affordable and nice enough bartenders. The decoration is the selling point for me. Tons of big crystals and cool (somehow) not cheesy fake trees. I would definitely make this a frequent haunt if this was my home town.

My husband and I have always enjoyed coming to silent disco night on Wednesdays for its atmosphere and drinks, but my recent experience with the bartending staff was unprofessional and discourteous. There were two young ladies working one of the side bars on the rooftop, I didn’t catch their names one was short with black hair and the other was blonde. While I understand sometimes it gets hectic working at a bar, there was a relatively short line when it was our turn to order. From the beginning there was no friendly smile or costumer service. I had just a few questions and the blonde girl answered me quite rudely and fast like i was annoying her. Once I got my drink I asked for extra limes and the other girl started giggling and grabbed a few with her bare hands while the tongs were right there. I just walked away without my limes. The whole experience made me feel uncomfortable as a guest. While I won’t be coming back, I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for others and you all can actually hire some professional bartenders. There is no reason two girls should be giggling at me while i’m simply asking them things that pertain to their job. This must not be of much importance to them because they didn’t seem to care much about customer service or their tips!!

This is by far the best drinking experience I ever had. Josh their manager set us up!! I set up a reservation to celebrate my fiancées birthday and he reserved me a cabana and even gave us a bottle of champagne to celebrate. The views, the scenery, the atmosphere, the staff and service are as high as the place sits in the Knoxville skyline. Out of this world service and cannot wait to go back!

Radius is one of my FAVORITE bars in Knoxville. 1000/10 for atmosphere. They have good mocktail/ non alcoholic options. I went with my friend on a Monday night and it wasn’t crowded. We were able to grab a couch by the fire. It’s much more crowded on the weekends, but not to the point of being overwhelming. They also have a dress code. That is something to consider before coming here.

I had a fantastic time ! I felt safe ,its clean and the ac works great. Nice mix of music too ! Also , no liquor just beer and energy drinks available. Cover is $20 per person.

Jesse runs a great business. Miguel & his security staff made my group and I very safe during the whole time. Tables are first come first served basis. Only beer is sold on property but if you want to bring a bottle, you can - however notify the front desk upon entry. Normal nights is a $20.00 cover, $30.00 buckets. Cash / card - GREAT TIME, all the best !

Well if security is better than when I was there..about 2018..I might come back. Me and hubs went. We were waiting on a cab. I closed my eyes and rested my head on my hubs shoulder. And big Bruno was like ..get out. I said we're waiting on a cab . I was tired ..he thought I was wasted..no.just a lil inebriated..hence..cab. He bounced us outside in the cold..it was February To wait for our cab

Their hearts' are indeed in it; I've seen major improvements over the last few moths. It's a long running alternative night in a college town in the bible belt. Blue laws keep it more tame than in big cities for you fetish peeps. Mostly covers the major sub genres of goth in its music and style. LGBT friendly. Cosplay welcome. It really doesn't become a happening place until midnight.

Bit of a small place but the atmosphere was great. The bar staff was friendly and quick. Great drag show while we were there .

First time visiting with a coworker for their 21st birthday. It was nice. The greeters were nice and engaging. Drinks were top notch. Feeling nice, nice after two of those Blue drinks. People were nice. Good vibes!!!

Went for the midget wrestling. Had a blast. Service was great for how many people were there. Definitely going back to check it out when there isn't an event going on.

Great place to go line dancing. And so thankful for the amazing staff. Josh (like Josh Allen) was so professional and kind when my friends phone was lost. He help us get it back. They go way and beyond to keep customers happy...Thank you again. She would of been lost without it. Your establishment is top notched. Can't wait till the next time I get to Tennessee to visit again. This is my 25th year loving this place.

Bartender short female with brown hair at the bar near the bathrooms charged me for 2 coronas when I ordered a margarita. She charged me $13.99 for a single margarita and when I brought the mistake to her attention she said she voided it and charged the correct amount and I believed her. Almost 2 weeks later and the $14.99 charge ($1 tip since she overcharged) is still on my card. Their drinks are always priced above average but $14.99 for a single margarita and then lying to me is unacceptable. She basically stole from me and then lied about it. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS THE BARTENDERS TRY TO SCAM!!!!! And watch them make your drinks since they seem shady! Also the pricing is NEVER consistent. I will add 2 photos showing the charges from southbound and I ALWAYS get either a double margarita or a single margarita and the photos show all of the different prices I’ve been charged.

This place is so disappointing. Security guards are complete trash, they treated us like if weren’t even from the US (I’m a Hispanic male) and within 15 min of being here, my friends and I watched them CARRY out a man for accidentally fall over while dancing (he is gay.). Was looking for a good time as a tourist but was found with immediate disappointment. Your “security guards” are unprofessional. Edit : oh and the the bald bouncer did not wash his hands after using the restroom
