To our surprise they had a little playground in the super cute backyard area. There was a delicious peach wheat beer in the beer garden (not available inside), and the live music (JR Ward) was fantastic. The flatbread pizza from Gemini Provisions was excellent, my picky kids devoured it! We didn't spend much time inside but it looked like a nice, new building. Will definitely be coming back next time we're in Townsend!

Arrived on a Thursday shortly before noon. There were a couple of other customers but we were…read moregreeted upon walking in and offered excellent personalized service. Very nice cocktail Menu. Small, but good food menu. Food was delivered to us at the bar in short order. It was well prepared, hot, and delicious. The smallish bar is very nice and while there is outdoor seating, we did not partake today. Perhaps on a warmer future visit. The spirit selections are all good, with something for most anyone. We will be back! Thanks for the military discount.

We visited all three Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery locations during our trip, and this one at The…read moreIsland in Pigeon Forge was hands down the BEST! The vibe here was unmatched--fun, lively, and just an all-around great atmosphere. What really stood out was the staff. While the deals were consistent across all locations, this was the only one where the team truly took their time with us. They explained everything in detail, made the experience feel personal, and got us excited to continue the scavenger hunt to the other locations. Their energy and enthusiasm made a huge difference and turned a fun stop into a memorable experience. If you're planning to visit multiple locations, start here--you won't regret it!

Coming to Pigeon Forge for the first time, I definitely wanted to try a moonshine tasting. I wasn't…read moresure what to expect, but once we arrived, they explained the two tasting options. We chose the one where you get to try all of their available moonshines for $8 per person, so my mother and I decided to do that. The tasting itself felt very rushed and hard to keep up with. I wish they had taken a little more time to explain the flavors instead of just handing them out quickly and moving on. The employee helping us didn't seem very enthusiastic and gave off the impression that she didn't really want to be there that day. On a positive note, the inside of Ole Smoky Moonshine was very clean. They wiped down the counters after every tasting, which I appreciated. One downside for me was that you couldn't choose which flavors you wanted to sample -- they just served whatever was included in that tasting lineup. I felt that was a disadvantage because I don't want to buy something if I'm not sure I'll like it, and there were a few flavors I was hoping to try that either weren't available or just aren't carried at that location. I did enjoy the deals they had going on, which honestly caused us to buy more than we planned -- but the offers were too good to pass up. We ended up getting the cooler that came with two mini six-packs. I do wish we could've chosen the free sixth flavor ourselves, but I wasn't too upset since I did like the butter pecan. Still, it would've been nice to have more choice. When we went to check out, I still needed to pick three more flavors and asked for recommendations, but the employee didn't give much guidance and just said to get whatever I liked. I understand they were dealing with a very busy time, and she did mention that, but I wish there had been a little more enthusiasm and helpfulness overall. That said, the moonshine itself was good, and the tasting experience was enjoyable enough that I would definitely do it again. It convinced us to purchase moonshine that same day, which was a win. Overall, the experience was decent, but the staff interaction could have been much better.

Lizzy was our bartender--super friendly, made excellent recommendations, and handled our group like a pro. She was especially patient with Marsh, who had a real gift for asking the most awkward questions. We both walked away with a bottle of the kettlecorn whiskey--it was that good. Not too sweet, with a subtle saltiness that really nailed the kettle corn vibe. Also, shoutout to the master distiller for the cool 3D-printed props on display--seriously impressive. Definitely worth the stop.

Tasted like a light espresso drink with no alcohol taste! * Peppermint Mocha cream liquor was weak on mint but strong on chocolate. * Pineapple rum was standard flavored rum, enjoyable! * Salted Caramel whiskey was good and had a nice sweet flavor. * Smoked Apple was flavorful in apple but lacking the smoke flavor. * Orange creamsicle moonshine was gross, it was citrusy (but like a raw flavor not a fine tuned flavor) and not creamy. * Blackberry moonshine was weak on flavor. * PB Cup Whiskey had a gritty taste kind of like just eating the peanut butter insides of a Reese's cup.

We ended up going on a Friday night and had a total blast. Ace was our guide, and she was super fun and knowledgeable. She had an engaging way of telling us about the beer-making process, and I learned some cool stuff. Fluffy was our driver/pourer, and transported us around safely; it was so great to get a little drunk and not have to worry about transportation. I liked that the tour is built around the interests of the people on it, which means every tour is a little bit different. There were plenty of snacks on board, and I definitely appreciated the endless supply of water. The only thing I wish is that we could have had a little more time at each brewery, as it felt like we were rushing from spot to spot. One thing that's really great about this tour is that it gives a bit of a taste of lots of different kinds of beers, beginning with mild and easy ones and working up to darker or more experimental beer. I even found a few new favorites! I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves beer or who isn't so sure but is interested in trying out what Knoxville has to offer!
