Best Nightlife in Knoxville

"A rustic mountain lodge is where you’ll enjoy your Park Grill meal, and it is a stunning one. Get a taste of what Southern Appalachia has to offer here, and see what both locals and travelers have been raving about. Right next to the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this is a great place to stop on your way in, or on your way out of the park."

"The Park Grill is one of the best downtown Gatlinburg restaurants to order a steak. Located on the Parkway at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you’ll be able to enjoy a true taste of the Smokies. After your day of hiking one of the trails or taking a scenic drive through the park, stop by The Park Grill for a hearty meal."

"At first glance it might look like Local Goat as a menu like other Pigeon Forge eateries: huge burgers and beer. But this is one of Pigeon Forge's only kitchens with an emphasis on the sustainable, using homemade and locally sourced ingredients. Look for local and craft beers, high-end cocktails, table service with cloth napkins (a rarity in these parts) and giant portions (that's the Pigeon Forge way)."

"Local Goat has quickly established itself as one of the best places to eat in Pigeon Forge. Everything is the restaurant is made from scratch. They order all of their food from locally sourced and sustainable farms."

"The food was great and the service was outstanding; Matthew (our server) was very attentive and polite. The burgers were delicious and cooked exactly to ..."

"If you’re looking for some good Tex-Mex cuisine, Loco Burro Fresh Mex Cantina serves up a large variety on their menu. Located above Johnny Rockets in the middle of downtown Gatlinburg, Loco Burro is also one of the top places to eat in Gatlinburg outside because of their handmade flour tortillas and 3 signature salsas. The best thing about them is you can enjoy their delicious food atop their rooftop patio which offers great views of the Parkway and the Smoky Mountains."

"If the craving for Mexican hits you while you’re in town, go to Loco Burro Fresh Mex Cantina. This is a great place to eat in Gatlinburg on the strip with its unique atmosphere and wide range of dishes. You’ll find classics like rellenos and fajitas."

"Outstanding/delicious food (taco salad and chicken fajita salad) not to mention fantastic chips and salsa!!. The salads were so fresh with fresh crisp lettuce... (865) 430-5624Order online"

"Offering a sports bar scenery that is family-friendly, Blue Moose is perfect for a relaxing dinner with the family while watching a game on one of the restaurant’s 20 flat panel televisions. Blue Moose is one of the best places to eat in Pigeon Forge on a budget, with not a single menu item price over $20 except for the 25 and 50 wing platters. They also have specials throughout the week including half-priced nachos on Monday, half-priced appetizers after 8 p.m."

"Popular among the locals, Blue Moose Burgers & Wings is a family sports grill with something for everyone. Guests will love this restaurant’s speciality burgers, such as the famous Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger (which replaces hamburger buns with two grilled cheese sandwiches). The Wild Ranch Wings are also out of this world!"

"Another great place for burgers and chicken wings is Blue Moose. This is a casual Pigeon Forge restaurant that will make you feel right at home. Share a platter of hot wings with the table and choose from a variety of sauces."

"The Fox and Parrot Tavern is the region’s only authentic British pub and offers a selection of 31 different draught beers, including ales, lagers, stouts, and porters from the British Isles, Germany, Jamaica, and the United States. This family friendly establishment offers a safe, comfortable, and smoke-free environment where you can enjoy a tasty meal and a pint without the distractions of loud music and rowdy guests. While visiting the Fox and Parrot Tavern, watch the big game on the large-screen television or challenge your friends to a fun game of darts!"

"When you need a break from shopping, head over to the Fox and Parrot Tavern for a relaxing meal. This traditional English pub offers 31 beers on tap and a great selection of British dishes, including fish and chips, steak and mushroom pie, banger and mash, and bread pudding. The Fox and Parrot prides itself on its authenticity and even sends team members over to the UK at least once a year to study the local pub scene."

"For 90’s jams and country music, head to Hanna’s in the Old City. You’ll find a variety of folks here, which always makes for an…interesting night. There are always tons of people gettin’ down on the dancefloor here."

"This is a fantastic spot for some quick, yet amazing food and drinks. LOVE the atmosphere. Perfect for lunch or dinner!"

"Before dinner, we made our way to World’s Fair Park to check into the Tennessean Hotel, which just opened in April next door to the Holiday Inn. The rooms are airy and gorgeous with some stunning works of art, and we had a view of the park below us. We were also just a five-minute walk from Market Square, so we left our car valeted at the hotel for much of the week and explored Knoxville by foot."

"Just 3 blocks away from the fine dining, local shops and entertainment of downtown Knoxville, this hotel offers traditional southern hospitality with contemporary amenities, including an on-site restaurant and bar. Free WiFi is available. Every room at The Tennessean Hotel provides a 55-inch flat-screen HDTV with premium cable channels and a radio with Bluetooth connectivity."

"The Shops at Carousel Gardens offer over 45 different galleries and artists featuring their artwork, furnishings and more. You will be able to find original artwork relative to the area, so you can take a little bit of the Gatlinburg art tradition home with you. It’s the perfect place to shop when you’re looking for a Smoky Mountain souvenir to hang on your wall back home."

"As the founder of Knoxville, James White’s name is all around the city: the James White Parkway, the James White Greenway, and the James White Memorial Civic Coliseum. His house is a simple log structure surrounded by a stockade fence, which he built in the 1780s. He then donated the land around his home to create the city Knoxville, which then became the capital of the Southwest Territory and later briefly the capital of the state of Tennessee."

"The founder of Knoxville was a man named James White, so it’s no surprise that one of the best options for Tennessee attractions is the James White Fort itself, especially if you’re looking for historical stuff to do. The James White Fort is essentially the former home of James White. White earned a large grant of land after the Revolutionary War, which he used to lead an expedition to find a fort site."

"History buffs visiting Knoxville should make a stop at James White’s Fort. This historic museum portrays how frontier life was like in the late 1700s. This historic home was the living quarters of Knoxville’s founder, James White."

"Head back in time to see the story of Knoxville firsthand at the beautiful Blount Mansion. The home belonged to William Blount, most well known for signing the U.S Constitution and for being the Governor of the Southwest Territory. The house dates from 1792 and William Blount’s presence here is actually the reason why Knoxville is the capitol of Tennessee."

"From the outside, the Blount Mansion doesn’t strike visitors as anything too remarkable. It looks very modern for a house built in the 1790s. It was the home of the Southwest territory’s only governor, William Blount, and served as its capitol building; Tennessee’s constitution was drafted there too."
