Samantha DammerJuly 9, 2012Wow great food and a good value. Nice energetic vibe in old Knoxville. We will be back. Weird that I am leaving the first tip...
Andy AlexanderApril 20, 2011Great beer and food, but by far the best service I have had in years. Ricky and Tiffany provided some top notch service to all. If I make it back here, I will be back. IPA a must.
Tom MoynihanNovember 11, 2020Had wings and IPA, food better than beer, had 6 Caribbean dry rub and 6 hot, fire and brimstone. HF&B lingered. IPA, woodruff, was good, not great, old school ipa style
Krissa Swain RandolphApril 11, 2018Ambiance and location - lunch before or beer and burgers after your downtown Knoxville event.
Happy hours here can't be beat. Great service, amazing food. My personal favorite is the chicken cordon bleu. Great honey mustard sauce!
They have pecan pie and pumpkin pie empanadas for the Holidays... Get them... Get them now.
Always a great place to hang out and drink good beer. Reasonable food prices and free pool on Sundays!
KristenMay 13, 2013Patio has both heaters and fans - yay! Pretzels and beer cheese aren't anything to write home about; if you want that go to Smoky Mtn Brewery in Turkey Creek.
Mitch NortonNovember 24, 2011The Cheese steak is awesome! The fajitas are amazing! Their pizza is scrumptious, and their burrito will feed a whole family (not really, but it is HUGE)!
Bess SmithDecember 26, 2012Join the mug club and get extra beer for pint price. Plus specials for members on Wed. Alt is the best beer offered!- Don't cop out and get a "traditional" Bud or Coors--get one of their own brews. Between Nut Brown, Blonde and IPA, you can't go wrong! The LITs are also worth getting, especially at happy hour.
Ive got a drink I call "Black Sunshine"; mix the IPA & the stout 50/50 and it makes a real strong black and tan. Its not a bad beer for the fall and winter months.
Daniel BennerNovember 28, 2010The apple empanada is by far better than any apple pie I have ever tasted! Get it! They have phenomenal ice cream too. Beer cheese pretzels are great also.
paul shiverSeptember 11, 2014The Cajun chicken pasta was great, the smothered burger was thick and juicy. Service was awesome too!
Be sure the tip the bar staff well -- Taylor is particularly great. Beer is excellent and food is delicious!- Great place to hang out with friends-but don't plan on having an intimate conversation. Try the pretzels and beer cheese!
Try the White Mule instead of having your typical Bud Light. Great beer, even BETTER happy hour prices!
Shane RhyneJune 19, 2013The loaded potatoes are excellent express lunch options if you only have a short time to eat.
Drink an IPA and Come to see Ryan Singer and Jarrod Harris 1/30/13 at The Pilot Light on the Organic Comedy Tour https://www.facebook.com/events/514655485232501/?fref=ts
Erin LouxJune 11, 2013Best place in knoxville. My fiance practically live there. Long islands and pretzels with beer cheese.. Amazing!!
Carol FloresAugust 25, 2012Sit at the bar! Fish and chips are great and so are the shrimp quesadillas!!
Prime rib sandwich, one side and a drink, $7.95 most Mondays during lunch.- Mexican Thursday is the bomb. Get the chicken enchiladas and a drink for $7.95.
Brian BlackOctober 29, 2011The captions sirloin is the best. Great food and atmosphere. Would give 5 star recommendation.
- Alexander LoebAugust 5, 2010Definitely get one of the home brews. Blonde and nut brown are my favorites. Also dirty blonde is a mix of the two.
- Tip the awesome bar staff. Check out the Rocky Top Comedy Contest Fri October 14th just two blocks away at the Square Room http://www.rockytopcomedy.com
- Al Krusen and Tommy Higdon are the best brewmasters on the planet. The IPA is the best anywhere in the world.
Dustin PerkinsMay 23, 2013Finally a new big screen in the upstairs bar area, maybe a few new couches now!
Growlers of Woodruffs brew are the greatest thing known to man!
Natalie CramerFebruary 16, 2013Yay! Free salsa and chips so excited!! Eating together with friends for Heather's bday! :D
Ericu DesuApril 8, 2017Great selection of beer and a place to watch some sports. The food was okay, but they messed up my order.
Beer cheese pretzels and dan's chicken pasta are AMAZING!
If you stop by in the afternoon ask for Jennifer, superserver extraordinaire!
