Hey y’all! Here is a list we have compiled of some of our favorite local places for you to check out during your stay! In the state of Tennessee you must have a valid ID to consume alcohol regardless of age! We recommend everyone 21-99 to BRING YOUR ID! Knoxville is big foodie city. Summer months get very busy downtown. We recommend to make reservations as often as you can to avoid waits.
