The famous cotton eye joes! It was very fun to come here with my friend. It makes you want to learn…read moreall the dance steps and I'm sure they have classes but since I do not live in Tennessee I wouldn't be able to attend any classes. Although I would if I lived here. The service was like a normal bar type where they had multiple places where you can order drinks, they had a fun little Photo Booth. Plenty of seating and places to stand near tables for your belongings. It was a pretty young crowd which was fine since I really don't look my age anyways. Hahaha. Overall it was a fun place to experience.

I have been to the Joe 4 times in the past months. Dance lessons with Sherry were fun and…read morechallenging. She taught for the full hour and a half with a packed floor. The nights Bubba taught were awful. Two weeks in a row he went through the motions of teaching the same three basic dances with breaks between each dance. No effort at all. Not worth the $10 cover fee if Bubba is there.

The best place to be In Knoxville Tennessee…read moreIs Club X-Y-Z. The drag is so nice and the bartenders are so friendly and even though it's a smoking bar it's still got plenty of space for you to be separated from the smoking and still be able to enjoy the show. It's a a very bohemian atmosphere where people from all walks of life are able to stop in and have a great time! Definitely recommend on a list of "best places to stop by while in Knoxville"

He's fast, kind gave me a lot of information about Newport Tennessee. GREAT service, great drinks & great music! Misty & Cassie are 2 other bartenders. Always smiling, never forget what I'm drinking. I feel special here. I love this restaurant/bar. Oh! Such comfort sitting on the bar stools. The chairs have a thick, padded seat and padded back. Those bar stools can put me to sleep if I sit back too long! The bar is shaped like a octagon so many can sit at the bar... They also have a lovely patio with a fire pit & a waterfall. It's very nice. Im staying in the area for an extended period of time. And I'm spending many of my meals and late night fun here at Michael's! Thank You all!

So, I'm going to give this place a three. It was cool because it was free and because I'm the last…read moreperson to rate a club since I really don't do it. Anyway, we made it there after 12a which for me I'd good since my usual Friday night shenanigans are spent looking at the back of my eyelids. Since I'm working hard to get my life together (weight wise people), I thought ok let's go dancing and get some exercise. Well, ever since Hurricane Harvey the weather has been different (hella cold...okay maybe not cold but chilly). We get to the door after walking from the parking lot, which wasn't all that far but hey I had on a sleeveless vest and shirt. Before getting out of the car I grabbed what I thought was my drivers license turned out to be my weapons license but hey same damn difference since the same info is the same. Anyway, I hand my ID to the guy and he looks at it then me and says I can't use this...I'm like y not? He looks again and says yeah nah, I can't. You got another ID? I'm like in the car...but I'm thinking why can't he use this ID, my picture is on it, name, address and my damn weight (excuse me). So now we have drawn attention am I'm like great now I'm looking like the chick with a fake ID. I tell my friend I can't get in and tell her I will just go to the car and get my license and I will be back. Because she's a good friend she wouldn't let me go alone. Anyway, got the ID, came back, tried to hand it to asshole door guard and he just says oh go head. Didn't take it didn't look...nothing. Now I'm ultra irritated...did he work for Fitbit and think I needed extra steps or what? It's too late to be playing games. Anyway, determined not to make this ruin my night we get it, everybody is well under 30...hmmm. I'm not a drinker just regularly tipsy on life so I'm in groove mode. I did take one shot of Jamison (I think that was the name) and it was strong so I will say the drinks were good. They played some good music to groove too but as unlearned early on lames hang in clubs. My friends got approached a lot by guys and girls...I must have looked old to everyone except asshole door guard because nobody approached me...or maybe they just saw me get turned away at the door and thought I was low key underage? Well that makes me feel better. Anyway, I was a little upset that night but the more I think about it...im gonna halfway chill on being pissed at asshole door guard since I'm damn near 40 getting turned away from a 21 and up club. IDK, I choose to see the positivity I guess so yeah since I can't rate half stars a three is what I will give it

I was out with my friends celebrating the 4th of July and we decided to go to Southbound. I was…read moredressed nice (khakis and a nice t shirt) and they refused me at the door because I was wearing birkenstocks. They claimed that I could not enter because of my open toe shoes. As I walked away I noticed three girls walking out and they all had on open toe shoes. When I asked the guy at the door why they were allowed in and why I wasn't, he told me it was because that were women and they had different standards for what they were allowed to wear. As an immigrant, this was very disheartening seeing the blatant sexism and double standards. I would never come here again and I hope the management takes a moment to realign their mission at this establishment to keep this situation from happening to someone else.

It's definitely a notch better than anything else in Old City. But not that great. The music was…read more"eh" better than Carleos forsure but the brightest and biggest highlight is their patio area. It's pretty chill and nice enough to have a bit of peace and calm if being inside isn't what you are in the mood for. I don't have anything bad to say about it. Overall a fun place to dance and hang out if dancing isn't your thing. I would come back forsure.

This is the worst bar I've ever been too. It's dirty there was food in the bathroom. No soap no…read morepaper towels. Women walking around in their bare feet.. I mean several people. Bartenders over serve. There's no person limit you can't walk. Waited 45 mins for the bathroom because again no person limit I think there was 1,000 people , no joke. Place is rachet as f word. Staff is not friendly everyone is dirty and un clean. Drinks are 10 dollars for a tiny plastic cup. Pathetic use of old city. Old city could really have potential if it wasn't for disgusting bars like this. Do better Bouncers had 4 extremely drunk people. I mean throwing up on the floor drunk. I watched a woman fall 3 times and told the bouncer she was over served and should be cared for and removed, he completely ignored me. This place is a liability and should be shut down. Absolutely pathetic lol
