Everyone who lives in Knoxville and likes to party has been to Cotton Eyed Joes at least once. They offer something for everyone with Ladies Night, Men’s Night, Family Night, College Night, best-dressed contests and more. College Night is especially packed because of all the students from The Un…

The Crown and Goose is a new establishment that is half restaurant, half bar. It’s a good place to grab dinner as well as drinks. It's more upscale than your typical bar and yet relaxed at the same. Many patrons visit just for the food, although it’s a bit overpriced for what you get. The fish…

The Downtown Grill and Brewery is a favorite bar of Knoxville locals. It’s located on downtown Gay Street. They brew their own beer and have a great menu selection. A local favorite is the soft pretzels with beer cheese dip. This place is sure to be busy most nights, especially during football…

4620 is a jazz club/martini bar that’s easy to miss if you aren’t looking for it. It’s located in a strip shopping center and the sign blends in with the rest of the shops. 4620 attracts patrons of all ages and is very welcoming to the older than average bar crowd (30’s-50’s). If you’…

The Carousel is one of the premier clubs in Knoxville for the LGBTQ population. Believe it or not, it’s also popular for bachelorette and birthday parties. The club is within walking distance of The University of Tennessee; so many students frequent the establishment. It’s actually located be…

TABLE 15 HAS CLOSED.
This wine bar/restaurant is located in the Turkey Creek shopping center. The food is good, but nothing to rave about. I tried the Club Med salad which had baby greens topped with pine nuts, feta cheese, strawberries and blueberry pomegranate dressing. It was served with toa…

I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about. There is no admission charge except for live bands or risque burlesque shows, it seats 95 people over 3 floors, it's on the National Historic Registry, the food is limited but fresh and they have a 95 health department rating. DJ on Thurs/Sat pl…

You’d better really be into karaoke if you’re going to Big Mama's Karaoke Café. Otherwise, there’s no point in going. The food and atmosphere are both mediocre. However, it is the premier place for karaoke in Knoxville and I know people who swear by the place. Those people also own karaok…

The Irish Times is a restaurant/pub located in the Turkey Creek shopping center. During the day, it’s a family friendly restaurant. At night, the live music starts and the drinking crowd comes out. The pub is still clean and nicer than most bars since it’s fairly new. The food is average at …

The Old College Inn, or “OCI” as it’s called by locals, is a small college bar that’s located on the strip at The University of Tennessee. OCI serves food earlier in the day, but I don’t suggest eating there. The tables are sticky and the lighting is bad. If you’re over the “I just …

***I just read a news report from 4-16-09 stating that Cool Beans made a 43 on their health inspection. Yuck!
Previous Review:
Cool Beans is located within walking distance of The University of Tennessee. It’s one row back from “the strip.” Personally, I hate the place. It’s a small …

They just got a really low health score rating. I'd stay away. Eww.
Sapphire is located downtown on Gay Street right next to The Downtown Grill and Brewery. It’s no wonder the Brewery always has a crowd and this place sits half empty. To be honest, I really wanted to like this place. I wen…
