Corn Pone Tavern Bar • $

“Glad to see the new ownership taking over—the new owner is top-notch. It’s a solid, blue-collar joint where the drinks are priced right and the atmosphere is welcoming to everyone. We usually swing by for the free pool on Sundays. Definitely a biker-friendly staple that’s heading in the right direction“

“I’ve eaten at JC Holdway many of times over the last 4 years with my last visit being earlier this week. The food has always been delicious but this last visit exceeded expectations. We were so excited to eat we didn’t even get pictures of our food.
Of course the food was fresh and local but all elements of every dish we ate were executed at such high levels it blew my wife and I away. From creativity in plating to salt levels and acidity. Our dinner was phenomenal. Thank you to Chef Lenn and the whole team in the kitchen and at front of house.

What we ate:
Smoked fish dip (ask for extra chips if you run out before your dip is gone)
Pork belly biscuits (must order)

Grilled shrimp (my favorite)
Carrots (could have eaten 2 orders of this)

Chicken (stole the show)
Pork chop (amazing flavor)

PB&J tarte (fun eating)“

“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 have pool, darts, a poker table and probably more.

Courtney was an absolute gem- welcoming us as we showed up when they opened up. We enjoyed shooting some pool and hanging out til an event we were going to.

Highly would recommend if your looking for the definition of a dive bar ❤“

Yacht Club Bar • $

“Quaint little place, seems almost as if it were built in an alleyway between two buildings, which gives it its own charm and visual atmosphere. There's enough room for booth seating, and a porch area in the back. It's one of the closest bars to the local college campus, so the pricing is decent, the crowd is generally on the youthful side. Warning: the parking lot is oddly divided and some people have been booted for parking in the wrong section, just as for details if you're uncertain. The staff has always been friendly and accommodating, one of the bartenders even let us sample his barbecue and home-made sauce, which was delicious.“

The warm baguette was perfect, the cheeses were flavorful and thoughtfully selected, and the main dishes were absolute perfection. And the crème brûlée was hands down my favorite and easily one of the best I’ve had. We will definitely be back, and honestly, we’re a little sad we didn’t stop by sooner. If you’re looking for incredible French cuisine in Knoxville, I highly recommend Lilou Brasserie.“

“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.“
