I really come for the excellent mixed drinks. Favorite place to get a smoked old fashion in town. Great flavor and presentation. I recommend substituting Buffalo Trace for the company seismic rye. Super friendly staff and a home town bar feel. No food but sticky rice cafe next door delivers. I have taken to swinging by for an after dinner drink whenever I go out in west Knoxville. If coming west turn like going to Trader Joe's and cut through the bank parking lot. There is no left turn from Kingston Pike.

We had no expectations, but were pleasantly surprised at the chill environment. Our bartender was so friendly! We played shuffle board until our table was ready. At the time we hadn't finished our drinks, and the bartender told us we could take our drinks with us next door as long as we brought back our glasses. I think that's the way to go, and I was honestly surprised more people didn't do this while they waited.

Our pup travels everywhere with us, so finding these spots is important to us. It was very spacious too - so we weren't on top of other guests. They have an extensive menu and the same with the beer list. There is something for everyone, from hoppy IPAs to fruity sours. Not sure which beer you may like - get a sample. Or try a flight! For lunch, we got the deviled eggs to start - something that is a go-to for us. They were solid and enjoyable. For the main, we opted for the Abridged burger and the Chicken club. Both were solid as well. Fries were crispy, but a bit over-salted, and I enjoy some salt. So made a note for next time to "go light". Service was good too. Overall - really only a tiny detail to 'complain' about, but easily taken care of next time. We will be back for sure - I want to try their pizza!

I'm have YET to be disappointed at Abridged on North Peters Road., Knoxville. Any appetizer or…read moreentree ordered has been delicious . If you want a personal pizza, try the vodka, pancett, pepperoni, yummy Also love a burger or the chicken nachos! Whether bar or table service, servers do stop and ask anything needed. There are times that it's really busy so if you're ordering a personal pizza and sandwiches make sure your sandwiches are ordered first, I say this since they have a kitchen and a pizza kitchen, so I have had pizza come out first and friends at the table waiting on a sandwich for sometime. The ambiance is inviting, cocktail bar as well as beer tap bar, and several areas of tables to enjoy a meal. Worth stopping in!

Love Bob's! I'm just starting to get in to bourbons. What I love about the store is that they…read moretake time to figure out what you like and will give you some suggestions based off what you tell them. Also, their selection is as good as anyone's in Knoxville. Their prices are fair. They're higher on some stuff and lower on others, but they're in line. I haven't been in a store yet that is any different. The store is nice, clean, bright and well laid out. The staff is incredible. I'll go to other places just to see what their store picks are, but Bob's is where the majority of my money goes. I would say the only drawback to Bob's is they don't have many bottles to sample from. It seems only the store picks have tastings available.

The best part is that the service is friendly and the pricing is surprisingly reasonable for a non-big box shop.

My wife and I went to this West location on a Tuesday night. The space felt more industrial and…read morewithout a lot of people felt large and empty, lots of tables in there so built for crowds. I counted 23 taps of beer at the bar, virtually every style is covered, an impressive number and the three we tried were excellent. I had the West Coast IPA and my wife had the Oktoberfest and the Black Rice Lager. The service was excellent. Instead of going for the pizza, which they have a lot of, we went with the Pretzel and beer cheese which my wife liked better than I did. The real star was the Muffuletta sandwich which hands down was the best version of this sandwich I've ever had. The Olive spread had diced jalapeño in it so pretty spicy and oh so good. So between the many taps and that sandwich, CBB West gets a five star.

I assume they call themselves 'BIT' because they have old arcade games. It came with tater tots. I think I paid extra for the tots. Tasty cheesesteak. Somewhere along the way, Tennesseans decided green peppers belong on a cheesesteak. We liked our beers. Crafty Bastard was hosting some kind of event. It was a little distracting. That could be why I have very little video of the beer. And/or, it doesn't look like Jordan is enjoying herself. KIDS!!!

The food was OK, but i expected some English pub type food, but it was just the same type of sandwichs prepared differently. The service was bad. I ordered my food and had pay for it right there just like at a Burger King. They dropped the food on the table and left. Nobody ever checked back to see if it was made correctly or if I needed anything. So many other places with better service and food - definitely a hard pass on a return visit...

I would like to update my previous review from Nov. 16, 2025. I was contacted by someone from…read moretheir corporate office to discuss my detailed review. He apologized profusely and asked me to give them another try. I live nearby and thought I owed them that since they were obviously very concerned about my previous experience. I went there again about December 2, 2025. This time I took my wife as well and we sat at a table instead of the bar. It was a totally different experience. The girl that served us was great and quick. We both ordered their Baby Back ribs as well as salads this time. The portions were huge and the quality of the ribs was the best we have ever tasted. That is saying something since we both do order Baby Back ribs at various places. The prices were also less than I had expected since I had not really studied their menu previously. I don't know what happened that previous terrible visit, but this one was great. I hope that they have permanently solved that problem.

We visited on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and to watch the UT Basketball game. Our server greeted us with a large smile and she was super helpful. I went big for lunch and ordered the full rack of ribs. The ribs were perfectly cooked and they were coated in a tasty BBQ sauce that perfectly complemented the ribs. It was delicious and the sauce was tasty, not sweet. My sides were Cole slaw and mashed potatoes. Both were very good. It was a lot of food and it was better than most food at other sports bars. This is a really nice sports bar with better than average food. I definitely recommend Carolina Ale House.
