A great place to grab a beer. Other patrons were friendly and it's very dog friendly. Not just beer, pretty much a full service bar. They also had a vendor selling pizza.

This weekend was our first time here and it definitely won't be our last! We LOVED the vibe and all the four-legged friends we made. Dillon was a wonderful bartender, and the food truck was delicious. Not to mention, a sauna at a beer market?!? ..Yes, please!

Always a good place to hang out. Whether in or outdoors. They have the best bar staff and my favorite patio in Knoxville. There's usually a good food truck option OR you can literally bring anything you want and cook it on their grill for free. How cool is that? The beer is always changing, but anything you see on the sales floor is available behind the bar, too.
