26 Best Beer Bars in Knoxville

“First time In was November 16th what a cool place the music was so good the food was great and the service excellent I will be back.“

“Maybe it’s because the owners are friends, but every time I walk through the door, I feel like I’m welcome and at home. Now imagine that feeling when you don’t have ties to this place, that’s how they make EVERYONE feel. Amazing food, but even more amazing people and bonds. Knox Vegas wants so bad to be a big city, but we’re just fine with what we have and establishments like this that still bring that small town comfort and love. No matter the name, it will forever be one of our favorite places to just exist.“

“They say you should never meet your heroes, but clearly they’ve never met Candy. I ordered a simple unsweet tea, macaroni, a burger slider… and she turned it into a five-star experience. Halfway through my meal, a flock of rogue pigeons somehow burst through the front door (long story), and one made a dive straight for my slider. In one fluid motion, Candy blocked it with a cocktail shaker, slid me to safety, and single-handedly negotiated peace with the birds. She refilled my tea before I even knew I was thirsty again. Her tea pouring technique should be studied in hospitality schools, and if she ever writes a memoir, I’ll be first in line… assuming she isn’t too busy saving the world. 5 stars, no notes“

“Our first visit for dinner won’t be the last! We ordered steak and burgers and were very very satisfied-great quality food! Charity, the manager, and Lily, our waitress, went above and beyond to provide amazing service. It was obvious that that is the standard to which they do business. We were very impressed and will definitely be back!“

“Relaxing for early afternoon, fun and entertaining! A great variety of adult beverages!!! HIGHLY recommended for girls weekend!“

“A wonderful local Pub with great staff that makes every moment enjoyable. Highly recommend you drop in and have Ailis Ito pour you a pint of your favorite, or even better, a dram of your most enjoyed spirit and soak in the atmosphere of a Pub with heart and soul. Music isn't too loud, plenty of comfortable seating, and always something going on to keep you entertained. Bring friends and your thirst!“

“Great place to hang out, chill and and hear awesome musicians.“

“Great drinks and amazing staff“

“Nice but not pretentious. interesting selection“

“We’ve been going to “The Pint” for over a year now, at least weekly on Wednesdays to play trivia. The staff here is so friendly, including the owners and especially Taryn. They make you feel like it’s a place where everybody knows your name. The food is good, especially the flatbread and they change up their menu specials seasonally, which is fun!

If you’re looking for a neighborhood hang out, this is your place!“

“Really Awesome place!! All the folks who work there are really friendly and I felt like I was family. Really nice bar inside as well as an outdoor bar and stage for live music. While I was there I saw two terrific bands, the opening act was great! They had a female singer who was very talented and the other members were just as exceptional. I didn't catch the band name however the headline act was The Blues Machine and I have to say they are one of the best blues bands I've ever seen anywhere! They are a three piece band with a drummer/singer who's voice is unbelievable! The guitarist is probably the best player in the region, he can play anything and make you feel it down in your soul! The bass player was solid and kept the groove in place.“

“Really enjoyed the experience here. It took less than 30 seconds to check me in. All I need to do is give my ID to scan and a card to put on file (they said I can pay cash when it’s time to pay if I wanted). Just like that I have a wrist band and can pick what ever beer I want. It’s cool to pour 2-5 oz to try something with a low cost low risk opportunity.

I had 21.8 oz total of different kinds of beers and it only cost me $10 bucks before tip. I was checking out and someone else had a party of 5 and their bill was only $56 with beer and food and they thought it would be at least $30 more. It seems like if you can navigate drinks and food well you can really get a great value.

Although it’s tough not to have parking in front of the store I did learn that the parking lot near the bridge is free after 6pm M-F and free on weekends. Definitely will choose to park here. I did have to pay when I came but for 2.5 hours I only paid $3.45 for parking

Totally recommend!“

“Absolutely Love this place, Fin-Two! They have an excellent team and delicious food. mt most favorite are the poek belly ramon bowls, brussel sprouts, poke' salad, chefs choice sushi roll and more!“

“Cool little brewpub/glassblowing studio.

Good beer selection, friendly staff.

I didn't have much time as my concert was coming up but I enjoyed my beer and conversation.

Here's the Breakdown:

Cool concept with cold beers +5 stars.

I will go back next time in town.“

“I love their house made syrups. It is my favorite place to get a latte and have some alone time or meet up for business.“

“My server, Alex was polite and attentive. He gave us refills in a timely manner. The chicken salad sandwich was delicious. Best baked squash also.“

“Yes great food and cold beer. I recommend eating here. The staff was on it.“

“Great atmosphere, drinks and vibes!“

“Best Korean menu outside Seoul. We are regulars on the Friday lunch special. Can't find the words to express my enjoyment at dining there.“

“We hired Lisa only about three months before our wedding after another caterer changed prices on us, and I’m glad we found her. Lisa and her team provided us with a great Italian buffet for our 100 guests. We never sampled it beforehand, but it was warm and yummy! We never really spoke in person on the day of, she walked by me once and didn’t say anything, but she was clearly busy, so I didn’t take it personally. Overall, she was exactly what we needed, nothing fancy.“

“the new owners definitely lost the magic. the brisket in the ramen used to be so good, now it looks like shaved lunchmeat. and the salmon bowl my partner always got wasnt quite up to par either. kimchi wasnt as flavorful. and they got rid of so many pinball machines(and im pretty sure they dont have a free pinball night anymore). they basically got rid of everything that made this place special. would still come for the drinks but i think ill go somewhere else to eat next time. i used to recommend this place to everyone but after going with family who had been there a couple years prior and were really looking forward to it..we left disappointed. if you havent been there before it would still be enjoyable, but knowing what it used to be the standard was set high&they didnt deliver.“

“First time eating at this restaurant, great service, Jose Guzman was our server, very kind, efficient and knowledgeable. The food was really good, great margaritas! Wish they would play Mexican music, would really liven up the place. Mariachi music would be awesome.“

“Great coffee every time, love the natural light and the homemade syrups. Banana bread lattes are killer.

I will say though they are ALWAYS OUT OF STUFF and I keep hoping it'll get better. Things like homemade syrups I totally understand. Things like to go cup lids (told me after I had 3 hot beverages ready, had no solution for me) or matcha... This is the 6th time they've been out of matcha. I am super snobby about my matcha too, but I still find ceremonial grade Japanese matcha on Amazon or at Earth Fare across the street...so I really don't understand that one.

There are other businesses that use softwares or have experience managing their supply chain, and I'm hoping honeybee can adjust what they're doing! I'm a huge fan otherwise.“

“Brought my whole family. Including the dog. All were treated wonderfully. Food was fantastic. Will definitely be back.“

“Great price for food. We had forgotten our phone there and the waitress had put it aside for us. This is now my go to restaurant and we now have a favorite waitress. Thank you very much.“
