5 Best Bars near Bryson City

“On a couples trip to the mountains we had the pleasure of eating at Tommy's Paradise. The food was amazing and the staff was friendly as well. The Pesto Chicken Pizza was so great. We will be sure to visit again when we return to the area.“

“I and my family have been eating here for almost 30 years, and I have tried almost every menu item, the best Pizza, better than NY,NY. The Sherpa is always amazing and new Onion Rings with Whiskey Sauce is the best. No matter what you are doing Whitewater, Hiking, Mntn Biking or just visiting the food is always worth it.“

“It’s on my Bucket List for sure!“

“Had lunch there today. Our server was Toni. She did a terrific job & checked back often. My husband had the Hawaiian pizza & I had the lasagna. Food was way better here than at the Italian restaurant in town.“

“No food but there is food nearby before 9pm. A Locals bar above everything. If you want good pool tables to play on as of 2025, this is the best place out of Bryson City and Cherokee but the space is tight and many guests won't move nor should they. Otherwise Franklin,NC has the best pool tables. It's logistically a tight space for a pool hall. Don't come on Friday or Saturday to play serious pool. Come to have fun! The staff will even play on their breaks! The biggest complaints I have are they won't give non alcoholic guests a different type cup since it's out of the fountain and everyone leaves their cups everywhere inside and outside on the patio. So bring your own NA beverage or put your initials on your cup if you don't want someone reusing your drink OR if you don't want to accidentally take a sip of someone else's.“
