All the bartenders are amazing and super friendly. I love it here. Seth makes a bad ass Patron margarita. Cortney makes great drinks and love jäger so buy her a shot!
Travis StevensMay 12, 2017Aaron and crew are amazing. It always amazes me the level of professionalism the entire staff keeps even when it's so packed you can hardly turn around.
PeytonMarch 26, 2014I love a wine list rich with Washington state selections. Staff is very friendly..that may not mean much based on the fact I live in Chicago..but they remember your name & use it. Fake name=fun.
Great food. Haven't had an item I haven't liked yet. Try it all.
Nini BoydJanuary 12, 2012APRIL is the best (and one if the prettiest) bartender in town! TIP HER GOOD! Awesome venue too!- Sofia O.June 7, 2014Be careful before take a seat! You may stick on the chair because of spilled and uncleaned drinks.
Jennifer WallenJuly 25, 2012Felt like I was the freak show in the middle of a three ring circus and did not appreciate being poohed out by the waitstaff as undesirables and should be put outside or against the wall, wont be back
Chris HillFebruary 16, 2011Get the Vesper Martini. Best darn martini ever. Plus, it's a James Bond classic.

Emily LDecember 17, 2013The small cheese plate is not worth the money. It had only four small slices of cheese and some fruit. They should call it the fruit plate, really.

Bethany SteevensJuly 24, 2014Don't let the waitress forget to bring you your credit card when she holds it as a deposit for a Moscow Mule. No apology from staff the next day. Pretty poor service.
Free live jazz Monday-Wednesday. It's a beautiful thing.
Great place, great food, sexiest bartenders/waitresses in town!
Salena SuJuly 6, 2013Slowest bartenders ever. On a busy Friday night, one of them was crouched down behind the bar doing her make-up.

"Beautiful venue and they host the best concerts in Knoxville. You get a good view in just about any seat. Try not to be on the outside seats to either side as you don't get the whole stage view there."
