“Fantastic girls getting it done! They should play Fail Army on tv,that’s funny.Not as many guys as you think watch sports at all.I know because I go there a lot.“

“Amazing food and great staff. Always a good experience.“

“We found Barrelhouse by Gypsy Circus on Google while heading to the airport, and we’re so glad we did, what an awesome place. We only wish we’d had more time to stay and enjoy it.

The vibe was fantastic, with live music, board games, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolute perfection. We ordered the Vaudevillian Smoked Brisket with mac and cheese and coleslaw, the house salad, and the butter rum mulled cider, everything was spot on. Huge shoutout to Millie, Mitzi, and Kellie for the excellent service.

There was live music by Chris Morel, who was a great artist and really elevated the experience. If we’re ever back in the area, this will be a must-return spot!“

“The food was great, and Gretchen was an excellent server. It’s the second time I’ve eaten here this week.“

“This place is AWESOME!! From the cleanliness of the place as well as indoor and outdoor seating, courteous staff to the incredible flavors of ice cream, donuts and I especially love the pretzel. The best I've ever had! the ice cream is so creamy and fresh every time I've been there! My whole and extended family love this place and my 16 year old granddaughter says the ice cream is the best she's ever had...and that's saying something! Everyone..please come and see what all the hype is about!!“

“Mooyah...burger joint par excellence! Everything I have ever eaten there is fresh (prepared after you order) and perfectly seasoned. Service is friendly and engaged with the guests. But wait, there's more. I challenge you to try their chocolate shakes which are not dispensed out of a machine. I'd be shocked if you didn't say, "The best I ever had!"“

“I’ve had friends recommend Hello Tea House many times. Today my husband and I finally tried it!! The gal who waited on us - I think she’s an owner - was so helpful and patient with us newbies!! 💕 We got savory spicy chicken crepe sandwiches and bubble teas to start. It was cool to watch the sandwich making process from beginning to end! And both the teas and sandwiches were DELICIOUS!! Of course, we saved room for dessert. Thankful we did!! The wild berry sweet crepe - recommended by the same gal - was A-MAZ-ING!! We both agreed we should have started with THAT!! Next time!! 😜“

“We love their macarons! Grabbed some while dashing through the mall- so happy we stopped! Duche De Leche, Dark Chocolate!! Mmm so good!“

“We stumbled upon this place while we were looking for a local place to grab breakfast. You do want to be there early as it is a first come, first serve - one man shop. The blueberry breakfast sandwich and blueberry biscuits were buttery and soft. Excellent experience and we will be back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend!“

“The ORIGINAL!!! Character, great food, ALWAYS great!!!“

I will be back as long as they are here, which I hope is forever!!“

They always have a great selection of drinks for any pallette. the rooftop is a great spot on good weather days. Definitely recommend checking it out.“

“My granddaughter brought me a drink when Covid was really bad on Mother’s Day of 2020 and that was when I first fell in love with Hey Bear. I’ve had so many wonderful family memories there with my grandkids and one son and daughter. They also make the best Boba tea that I’ve had in either Sevier or Knox County. I love that they have the swing for the kids and the outside entertainment and the fire pits and outside heat for when it’s cold.“

“We love pour! It’s our favorite place to get drinks and spend time together relaxing and playing games. I love getting to try new flavors without having to commit to a whole glass. The food is pretty good, it is all like reheated as they don’t have a kitchen but the quality is good and it’s yummy!“
