Peter Kern Library Reviews
The real speakeasy vibe was nonexistent.
They played music that you’d hear in a night club.
The drinks took forever, and I sent 2 drinks back, and left a full one on the table on the way out.
I’ve been to several speakeasy bars, and this place was a let down.
Nothing like it in Knoxville!!👍
The Atmosphere and ambience is incredible. The drinks were awesome. Our bartender Simon was very friendly and took great care of us. Enjoyed!

The Peter Kern Library is an intimate and exclusive restaurant that offers a unique speakeasy-style experience. The dark and moody ambiance creates a luxurious atmosphere, perfect for a night out with friends or a special occasion. The extensive drink menu features delicious and creative cocktails, such as the Holly Golightly, espresso martinis, and old fashioneds, which are consistently enjoyed due to the skilled bartenders' artistry and chemistry. The whiskey selection is also great, and the small bar and comfortable seating make it a lively yet not too noisy spot. The sliding door of the wall of art adds to the unique decor, making it a hidden gem in Knoxville. Customers praise the fantastic service, knowledgeable staff, and great cocktails, with highlights including the creamy pistachio Tom Ripley 1955 and the Appleton Estate rum daiquiri.
