So Emporium might be a stretch. Maybe Small Corner of Beer on Emory would be more fitting? This place is misleading in a couple of ways. First of all, it's in one of those Vape stores. And it seems like the people who like to go here to vape (is that an actual verb?) just wanted to be able to drink beer while they were here. They have a couple of couches in this dark den-like space. They also have beer on tap, but I didn't investigate them. As far as beer that they have available for purchase to take with you, their selection is super limited, but what they do have come from some good breweries. We walked out with 2 6-packs and it was like $20-ish.
There are way too many places to buy beer in Knoxville to make this any sort of destination, but if you happen to be in the parking lot and need to grab some beer, you can likely find something that will suffice. read more
