Very rude doormen. Refused to let us in because I apparently stumbled and accused me of being “too drunk.” I had had 3 beers from 10pm to 1am when we tried to enter the establishment. We watched while waiting on our uber them let in people very obviously heavily intoxicated. It felt very pick and choose.

The large bouncer wouldn’t let us in because he said my wife was too drunk (she had 3 beers starting at 8:00 and this was at 1). Other security disagreed but said he was the boss. This ended our night and she went home crying. We don’t get nights out often for we have a baby.

I was with my girlfriends for a bachelorette night out. Being local, we thought this would be a great spot for music and dancing. I ordered drinks for my group and a man overhearing me claiming to be the owner was very polite at first, then he gave me the ick. He quickly reached creepy territory. Not a good vibe. Lady that was bar manager was no help! We quickly left!

If you’re looking to be the next victim of a bouncer with a god complex, definitely come here! You too can have your husband go to the bathroom after his brothers wedding with 30+ members of the wedding party in the bar and have a 22 year old bouncer kick you out for “swaying” after ordering two waters at the bar. I guess the girls doing cocaine in the run down bathroom wasn’t an issue for them, but a well put together guy in a suit “swaying” on his way to the bathroom is where they draw the line. My husband and I are both professionals in IT and have never been treated like that at any establishment, even in college, and we’ve traveled to every state along the east coast. Don’t waste your time here if you’re over 25 and plan on spending more than the $5 cover to listen to no live music and have two new buddies rubbing shoulders with you at all times.
Came after my brother in laws wedding with 30+ people. My husband, who had two beers at the wedding, ordered two waters at the bar and went to the bathroom just for some bouncer to be waiting for him outside the stall to kick him out for “swaying.” We had girls in our group VISIBLY intoxicated without issue, but my husband was kicked out by a security guard with a god complex who had a different story for every person in our group as to why he was being escorted out. Needless to say, we took our money elsewhere, all 30+ of us. This place is a cheap rundown piece of crap bar that seemingly loves to charge covers just to kick out guys who aren’t ordering their overpriced disgusting drinks. Go to Hanna’s, they understand how to run a business

As it turns out, if you come here, pay the cover, order a water, and decide to take a leak: Bob Dylan on Steroids will be waiting first in line to cause a scene and kick you out in front of your friends for absolutely nothing.
The bouncers here are so hateful. One of them ID’d me 3 times and still didn’t let me in. I am
34 years old and was trying to get in because it was one of my friend’s 40th birthday’s and he wanted to go downtown for his birthday. Women were supposed to get in for free and the guy at the door that kept asking to see my ID said I needed to pay cover, but did not charge my other female friends cover. One of of my friends paid cover for our husbands and the man at the door still wouldn’t let me in after my friend had paid cover for my husband even though he knew that my husband was with me. The staff here is incredibly rude and the bathrooms are repulsive. Even for a college type bar. I do not recommend going here.

Celebrated our 7-year anniversary at Wagon Wheel and couldn't have picked a better spot. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, the food hit all the right notes, and the service made us feel genuinely cared for. It’s rare to find a place that both a 21 year old and a 32 year old can agree is the spot—but Wagon Wheel nailed it. Thanks for making a special night even more memorable! Go Vols!!!

I love Wagon Wheel! The music is exactly what you want for a night out. The drinks are great and it is always the first and sometimes last stop on our night out. Watching games on the screen and TVs is so fun and vibrant!!! Always recommend to anyone I can!

Festivious Ambiance and General Refreshment await all who rotate themselves inside The Wagon Wheel.
The libations flow like the endless seas, and the bartender is anyways quick of wit, with a firm pouring hand.
Relaxation is all but guaranteed, with a fine selection of delectable and nourishing foodstuffs!

Honestly one of the best bars I've ever been to. Came from Oregon on a trip and took a chance with going here and it was worth it, the food was amazing and quick, servers were super friendly and energetic. I would highly recommend checking this place out of your in town!
