12 Best Bar & Grill in Knoxville

“I took my son here for a birthday party, and he had an absolute blast! 🎉 There was so much for the kids to do, and the energy was amazing. I even had a great time myself playing some of the games and enjoying the fun hangout spots. Everything was clean, well-organized, and super family-friendly. We’ll definitely be coming back for more fun soon! 💙“

“Great service and AMAZING wings! Easily the best in the area.“

“This is a nice locals bar. If you don’t go often, you do get looked at by the patron’s and workers with a why did you just come into my home glance, but after the awkward millisecond you feel comfortable. It is a smoking bar, so for those that don’t smoke, prepare yourself. Don’t ask for a non smoking section. If this is a problem for you, go home, us smokers want to keep at least one bar not banning it“

“They have the best teriyaki-pineapple wings & lettuce wedge. So fresh! We weren’t a big fan of the gravy on the meatloaf or the salsa on the neyland nachos. We will def be back for more wings and wedge salad!!“

“Chris is one of a kind. Great person and loves to see people happy“

“The sum of all the parts here are what makes it worth a try. This marina location has been different names over the years, with different types of food, and I'm pretty sure I tried all of them. This iteration seems to be more fitting for this area than some of the past places. I, unlike many it seems, thought that there was actually pretty good value for what you pay for here. Another thing that was noticed is how solidly executed everything was: nothing was necessarily spectacular but everything we ordered was tasty and worth trying again. Service was cheerful and sufficiently attentive.“

“Was very good pub / food and service . Met Nic and Paul the owners and the wonderful staff Matt and Emily! I will definitely be back! Thanks again guys..“

“great food“

“The absolute best bartenders in town!! Love Hannah and Sarah always getting our drinks as we walk in the door!! The staff is excellent at handling the volume of people especially on Vol game days. Always be our favorite neighborhood place.“

“I absolutely adore this place and make it a point to attend every event I can! There's always something special happening that keeps me coming back for more.“

“If you ever find yourself at Cool Beans and don’t end up at Kevin’s bar… you’ve done the night wrong. Kevin is the undefeated GOAT of bartending — the mastermind behind the legendary Purple Hooter (beware, it goes down smooth and hits HARD), and the silent assassin responsible for more blackouts than a citywide power outage.

Whether you want to sip something sweet, dance on a table, or forget your ex’s name, Kevin’s got your back (and your next drink). Cool Beans wouldn’t be Cool Beans without him. Tip him big — trust me, your night depends on it. 🍸🍻💜

“Everyone there is enjoying there time . I like you can sing what you want and no one judges you. They cheer you on instead. The owners are very polite, and people are awesome ! I'm older now , and more mellow , social than was years ago. I like to do more things where I have some fun in an area around others. To me , that's how you learn about others, and in an environment where people like what's in Armstrong's are great to be with.
Instead of just seeing people at work all day, or places where things just don't happen like this. It's fun and good to get out . Because life needs more than your day to day life to some. Singing there is an advance from just going into my phone song app. , after 4 years . I like that I can almost completely sing with almost 100% calm or having an exuberant experience instead in this place. No one wants awkwardness , and they are with you. I like seeing others sing too. You see how they sing and might learn from them and make friends and understand things you didn't understand before. 🙂“
