    Beautiful Roof top lounge!
    Vanessa T.

    Beautiful!!! This roof top bar is so pretty, with killer drinks and delicious food! It was exactly what we were looking for. For parking, we found a parking garage behind the hotel, valet was expensive, even when visiting the restaurant. Head up to the top, and wow, great views, everything was wonderful! Drinks were great, the food was so fun and tasty! Those burnt ends were delicious! So seasoned and melt in your mouth! Service was also great, we really enjoyed coming here, might even come back for a drink out on the patio :)

    Out of 50% of the menu, took 36 min for one drink, wanted $200 min for the igloo...would Have taken 24 hours to hit that with the speed of the drinks. Quality of the drinks were horrible. Short on the burnt ends (served 5/6), sushi was worse than grocery store sushi, rice wasn't cooked, dumped sauce on it to hide the horrible quality. Plates were dirty. Skip this! Needs new management and new GREAT management will comment on this post and let you know that they know how to order food supplies for an extremely limited menu, for a Saturday night.

    I would like to check out the place when it's busy. The place had just opened, so the employees were chillin. The music was very low and not much of a vibe when being on the rooftop. The drinks were really good at least.

    Knoxville rooftop bar tour stop one. The views are simply amazing. 270 degree views. Our server let us know that the opposite side, that is more enclosed, is a great place to watch the sunset, but recommended reservations. Keeping that in mind for future visitors! It's open year round and the server said that in the winter, they have igloos to make it a cold weather experience. Definitely coming back to experience that! I got the Libation Free mock tail, and it was crazy delicious! They also had numerous vegan options like edamame, corn salsa, avocado hummus and a tofu poke bowl, which would make returning with guests a no brainer so we could get something to eat here. We got the avocado hummus with veggies and it was top notch.

    I love a good rooftop bar so I was excited to check out Five Thirty Lounge with some colleagues while in town for work recently. Even better, I was staying at the Hyatt Place so I didn't have far to go. I made reservations online but it wasn't busy at all on a holiday weekday. Our server was really sweet and gave us some good recommendations. The cocktail list is pretty small but everything sounded great. I went with the Farragut old fashioned, made with Buffalo Trace bourbon. It had a nice vanilla flavor which I really loved. Cocktails are $14-$15 which I think is reasonable for their location. It looks like they have a decent bourbon list. Small plates and some lighter food options are available but we didn't eat anything. The view is really cool, with scenes of the mountains and cityscape. We were there near sunset which was a bonus! We were seated by one of the fire pits, which was wonderful as it was a cooler evening.

    Reviewing based on at least 5-6 work and personal trips to the rooftop. Overall giving a solid 4/5 for the experiences I've had thus far. Food and drink: only ever had minor snacks but has been good. drinks have been good from my experience or others sharing the same Venue and vibe: definitely love the recent updates that have happened inside and outside, fun vibe for sure! Location and parking: there are garages, however, if you want to be really clever then just use the hotel valet Staff and service: it's about the only thing I'd say has been hit or miss, really awesome or mildly rude. When it's great, it's great! Will be back around sometime soon!

    Espresso Martini

    Best espresso martini in town easily. Such a swanky vibe and environment. Bartender was extremely pleasant and quick to recognize when other people walked up to ensure they did not have a long wait. I will definitely be stopped back next time I'm in town!

    The Five Thirty Lounge was exactly what we were looking for on a fair weathered Saturday night. The bar is on the rooftop overlooking downtown Knoxville. They have various lounging areas around the rooftop where you can dine or drink; we sat at the bar counter to watch the NBA playoffs but they aren't super strict about where you go. Service was good and our bartender was attentive and super nice!

    Interior of top level
    Lindsay H.

    After a work event, we wanted a serene spot to kick back and decompress with a drink. Yelp pointed me to Five Thirty Lounge (atop the Hyatt) and it was the perfect choice! Easy parking in the State St. Parking Garage-just park on level 3 and walk the bridge. You come out near Nama and turn left to get to the Hyatt next door. Head inside, walk past the lobby and turn left to the elevators. The top level is gorgeous. Modern, trendy space filled with contemporary mood lighting and abstract art. The outdoor/rooftop area is filled with comfortable outdoor chairs and couches with firepit tables and some hightop tables, along with their own bar, separate from the inside bar. If you are ordering food, I suggest a high top, as there isn't much table top in the firepit seating. We, however, just wanted to sip and relax. The view is wonderful and serene with the twinkle lights overhead and soft glow from the firepits. The service was fantastic-welcoming, prompt, and friendly. QR code at each table to pull up the menu and a unique offering of drinks, which were pricey, but tasty. We ordered the old-fashioned, margarita, and a Pimms. My friend/boss enjoyed his margarita, and my husband and I liked our drinks, with the Pimms as our favorite of the two. We will definitely be back here for a nightcap on a date and may try snacks next time.

Depending on which way you are coming, you may need to drive to the far end of the parking lot past the bakery to enter the lot. There is a closer entrance but it is angled for the opposite direction and not an easy turn. There are also several one-way lanes in the parking lot so you may need to drive extra to get to an open parking spot. We did find handicapped spaces close to the entrance, but you need to drive to the back of the lot to get onto the one-way lane that goes past them. While these are the closest spots, it is still a bit of a walk to the entrance of the building, although everything is nicely paved and even. Once you get in, the interior is bright and inviting. There are many centralized seating options throughout the interior, mostly high-top tables but a few normal tables arranged in cozy settings. There is a patio in the rear of the building for when the weather is nice. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The center is made up of all the various eating establishments. There is no specific seating for the individual restaurants, so you will order your food from whatever place strikes you fancy and then take the food packaged into To Go containers to a table in one of the many seating areas. Make sure you pick up utensils and napkins from where you ordered your food as there is nothing on the tables. We were there after the lunch rush so it really was not crowded at all. There were small groups of people wandering around as well as several eating a late lunch. We did notice the overhead background music was loud and made conversation difficult. I could imagine during lunch or the in evening the overall sound level would be high as the acoustics do not favor conversation. This is pretty much only a food court. We had heard there were various craft shops as well, but apparently those had all closed. While the food selection is quite varied, addition of something to do other than eating would make this a destination location rather than just a food stop. There is some renovation happening in one end, so perhaps other shops are coming in the future. Still, it is a clean location with great interior space and makes use of a building with a lot of history that was important to the area.

The dark, glamorous aesthetic is stunning--perfect for date night or for impressing out-of-town guests. I loved the gold accents, layered textures, and thoughtful lighting. Everything worked together beautifully. We chose to sit at the bar to watch the mixologists work their magic. They were incredibly helpful in guiding us toward drinks that matched our preferences. I absolutely loved my cocktail--even if I can't recall the name--because it delivered the spicy kick they promised. We also ordered several shareable plates, all of which were delicious. We tried the Carnitas Tamales (shredded pork, ancho mole, fresh corn, masa, cilantro, yuzu arbequina oil), the Vegetable Empanadas (house-made pastry, wilted kale, roasted sweet potato, Oaxaca and cotija cheese, black bean purée, and adobo & chile-lime aioli), and a salad. I'd happily order any of them again. I did find myself wishing for a bit more heat, but I've learned that's hard to come by in Tennessee. At least the staff gave us a heads-up that the spice level is toned down. I'm already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. The vibe is fantastic--and while they have a nice outdoor space, the interior is so eye-catching I'm not sure I'd want to sit anywhere else.
