8 Best Pubs near Pigeon Forge

“Loved the atmosphere while we stayed at the hotel. Honestly made the hotel stay enjoyable. Hotel staff was terrible. The bartenders made up for it. Would stay here again only for the location and the bar/food at casual pint.“

“Of all the places I've visited in the US (Canadian) over the years. This bar is definitely one of my favorites. The greatest atmosphere. Great people. Great bartenders. Just a great time. So glad I was able to enjoy a couple nights during my stay in town. Can't wait to come back!“

“Would 100% recommend to anyone. Our sweet waitress Jess (I think was her name) poured the best Guinness!! The burgers and atmosphere were phenomenal. We will definitely be back.“

“We had a great time at karaoke! Puzzles Entertainment were terrific hosts! Great atmosphere, drinks and food!! Happy we found you guys while on our weekend getaway to the mountains! We’ll definitely visit again when we’re back in town! 10/10 would recommend!“

“I stopped into Tennessee Cider Company on a recent trip to Gatlinburg and had a great time. The vibe was laid-back and welcoming, and the staff made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. Special shoutout to Ryan Rees, who was behind the bar—he was super friendly, helpful with recommendations, and just made the whole visit better.

The tasting setup is great: you can try a couple samples for free, or pay a modest fee to taste through everything they have on tap, including some fun seasonal options. Every cider I tried was solid, with the Peach Mimosa and the Black & Blue standing out as favorites for their refreshing, well-balanced flavors.

The Pumpkin Pie cider was definitely a seasonal highlight—sweet, spiced, and festive. I really liked it, though I think it would be even better with just a little less flavoring to avoid the candle-like aftertaste. Still, it’s a cozy fall drink worth trying.

All in all, this is a spot I’d definitely recommend if you’re in Gatlinburg. Between the friendly service, the variety of flavors, and the relaxed atmosphere, conscience of access close to Anakeesta and Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, Tennessee Cider Company is an easy stop I’d make again.“

“What a fun place. Bec’s had some great draft beer, great burgers and sides. Equally great was the welcoming environment created by Becky. We had a fun conversation. We for sure will be stopping at Bec’s whenever we come to the area.“

“We stopped in for lunch today. Actually, this place was the reason we drove out there in the first place. The Shepherd’s Pie and the Poacher’s Roll were excellent. We shared a Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert and loved every bite. They were very friendly, and this place is the real deal. We will be back.“

“Service is very slow. Food just ok. Won’t be back“
