Knoxville's Brewery and Bar Scene is hopping (get it?). Here are some of the top spots!
Map
The location (an old car dealership!), the food trucks, the trivia, the drinks…this is a fun one.
Xül Brewery - 5th Avenue
Come for the castle and drinks, stay for the outdoor Biergarten, twinkle lights, and pretzels/pizza. Great way to take in a UT game or movie night!
Schulz Bräu Brewing Company
The outdoor patio here is magical at night with the lights! And it has igloos to sit in during the colder months. Beautiful rooftop bar at the Hyatt Place!
Five Thirty Lounge
I prefer this location to the downtown one (more space here!) AND the Hole in the Wall pizza here is great.
Crafty Bastard Brewery West
Everything about this place is unique…from the handmade/handblown glass tap handles, the custom artwork for each drink, to the atmosphere. Fun spot!
Pretentious Beer Co
An official “Packer bar”! 🏈 Great homemade food and my favorite pineapple radler in town.
Last Days Of Autumn Brewing
Wanna play board games, corn hole, or even pickleball with your brews?! This is the spot!
Orange Hat Brewing Company
Super chill spot with specialty drinks in really unique glasses! They always give you your receipt within a paperback book, which I think is a cool touch.
Tern Club
Another official Packer bar, home of the Knoxville Packer Backers. Very neat “community” feel here!
The Casual Pint of Northshore
Lots of space, board games, pool, PING PONG (!!))🏓, and trivia nights. Fun hangout spot
Hi-Wire Rooftop Brewery in South Knoxville
The vintage vibes here are AMAZING, right down to the disco ball and fun seating areas!
Fly By Night
The atmosphere here is so fun, and they have lots of special events, including improv comedy.
Barrelhouse by Gypsy Circus
Good food, fun atmosphere, great spot to watch a game or movie on the big screen.
Yee-Haw Brewing (Knoxville)
This is a favorite because you pay by the oz with a bracelet. Want to just taste something? No problem. Want to mix and match? Do it. Great variety!
Pour Taproom: Knoxville
I like this spot. It's more mellow, hidden away, with a great patio. Or, stay at the bar and take in the ambience with a great pretzel!
