39 Best Bars near Powell

“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“

“We had a fantastic evening - first we were proactively moved from a table next to a large group and therefore noisy to a quieter space in the restaurant- where does that ever happen - secondly our dinners were exquisite- creativity and quality above the price - one of the best meals we’ve enjoyed in a while - had the tuna crisp - burrata salad -osso buco - chicken and trout - financier and olive oil cake - we would happily order any of those again - thank you for a wonderful evening - we will be back !“

“I am visiting Knoxville TN for work. I was looking for a local Kava bar to get a Kratom mocktail. I came in and immediately felt at home and very welcomed. The owner was super nice and knowledgeable. Her puppy Moose was too adorable! I had the Kratom Piña Colada, the NK Sunset, and the Summer Haze. All absolutely amazing. I will be back again for work and will most definitely be stopping by at Noble Kava!!“

“A wonderful local Pub with great staff that makes every moment enjoyable. Highly recommend you drop in and have Ailis Ito pour you a pint of your favorite, or even better, a dram of your most enjoyed spirit and soak in the atmosphere of a Pub with heart and soul. Music isn't too loud, plenty of comfortable seating, and always something going on to keep you entertained. Bring friends and your thirst!“

“sam and carly were so phenomenal they did me so good. please come to scruffy if you want to have a good time.“

“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!“

“Been waiting a loooong time for the irs to get the proper funding so they can be a more efficient service to the American people. Its about time! That Ed Polecat can pick out a mop sink faucet, but when it comes to knowing how our federal government works, that fella dont have a clue. He’s taken john moran from tripping balls to just plain trippin over his own feet. #fakenewstwins“

“Had an awesome experience at this brewery! This was one of the two breweries I went to in Knoxville and the beer was excellent! I had the Italian Pilsner and a Brown ale I believe. The bartender and patrons were also real fun to talk with and friendly. I really love the charming atmosphere of this old brewery and this is definitely not the kind of brewery I would see in Charlotte (where I live), so was a real experience drinking in an old historic looking building in the Old City.“

“We went to enjoy the Christmas buffet yesterday and enjoy we did!!! The seafood was fresh and delicious. The prime rib was succulent. Everything else was equally amazing!!! The staff was so friendly and helpful. It was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had in Knoxville. We'll done and thank you!!!“

“The name says it all. OUR PLACE“

“Been going here for yrs n we love Mitzi Wallace Kirk.“

“Service 10/10Drinks 10/10Food 9 /10Really enjoyed the Monkey Finger and Johnny Appleseed drinks. The 8:55 PM ritual was fun and the free sample was tasty. Burger and chicken sandwich were great and the side salads were well worth the upcharge. Waitress was attentive and friendly. worth the visit.“

“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 best bar and bartenders around! Great vibe and people!“

“Will be back again this is our 2nd time here so good.“

“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.“

“Last night we decided to give Lilou Brasserie a try, and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we sat down, the experience was wonderful. 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.“

“Great place. Great bartenders. Good beer selection. Only downside is smoking is allowed and it smells horrible.“

“Mackenzie and Nathan was awesome. I had the cheese steak. Best cheese steak in knox. My wife had the grown up grilled cheese. She loved it. Nathan gave us samples of his broccoli cheddar soup. delicious. He is working on a new lunch menu. Get in there play some pool, have some drinks and try the food. You wont regret it. if your doing laundry next door. Perfect spot to wait. Highly recommend. Will he back!“
