But there is one host that seems to be in a hurry and its makes it less fun- she hosted our latest trivia night 5/16/24 at Calhoun's at Turkey Creek in Knoxville. We started at 7and were through by 8:15? Very rushed not enjoyable.

A number of books that I have only made it half way through. And my to-do list always ends up with more additions to it than actually gets finished. Can you blame me? I want to do it all. Come on, people...is that so wrong?! Well, here's a testament to Knox Trivia Guys. Trivia with them has become my Monday night routine. And I don't see an end in sight. What makes it so great? They host trivia in cool locations all around Knoxville. Each night of the week they are in all of the bars that you frequent anyway. Their hosts have personality! Nena has turned trivia into karaoke on more than one occasion. My favorite thing about trivia with Knox Trivia Guys is that it's challenging without making me feel like a moron. Sometimes you do well. Sometimes you tank. The topics are diverse, smart, and fun. The bottom line here is that regardless of how you fare, you're going to have a great time. They're all over social media so find out where they are going to be and buckle in for a fun night.

We had to seat ourselves, but then we had no menus. Finally found a server and got menus. He told us that we could order from anyone on the floor - but the servers were literally indistinguishable from the clientele, so that one person who we talked to was the only team member we could recognize. We finally resorted to placing additional orders at the bar and we paid there bill at the bar, too. All in all I won't be making a special trip for this. It seems like it's probably a cool place to hang out at night for drinks.

My husband ordered the bacon and pimento smash burger which was just as delicious! Day two I had a chicken sandwich and he ordered the Cuban. Day three we had the soft pretzels and cheese dip. Those were bomb! My favorite cocktail was the Italian Spritz. It was so light and just a nice refreshing drink for the afternoon. Service was average. Nothing terrible or great. You can tell they get pretty busy each day. What I really loved was all of the photos of dogs framed on the walls! It was fun to see all the different pups that had been added over the years

It was fairly busy when I visited, and there was a line to get beer, which isn't a problem. I happen to see a friend of mine waiting in line to get a beer. I walked over to speak with him. We hadn't seen each other in probably five or six years. Another guy cut in line right in front of him before he could get his beer. Then, when it was my friends turn, the bartender (Josh) was less than friendly. I realize that they're just pouring beer, but the gentleman was decidedly unfriendly, he did not smile even once; he did not even indicate that he was ready to take an order in anyway by acknowledging us with a look or anything. Heck, he didn't even speak to us. Honestly, he was just rude & beyond unfriendly. I don't get it. If you do not like your job, get a new one. If you don't like pouring beer for people (which does seem like a super great job), get a different job. The fact that he would be there on what appeared to be a fairly busy night, which is good for the business, and be so unpleasant is beyond my comprehension. So, the beer selection is very eclectic, with something for everyone. It's super great that you can buy beer to go. The female bartender was awesome. I'm conflicted on what sort of review that I should give Admiral pub, because there were so many positive aspects to it, except Josh pretty much ruined the entire experience by his sour demeanor (although I adore sour beers) and persistent scowl.

Not a bad spot on a Tuesday night! Band was lively, and the crowd was friendly. Didn't realize at first that there were three(+) levels, so finding the arcade on the second floor (as well as another bar) and the roof patio (with yet another bar) made this place super fun. Lots of different settings depending on what you are looking for. The rooftop was great though - giving a view of the city, as well as a lot of interesting built in art. Also loved the artistic (signed decorated) washrooms - that was a hilarious and unexpected touch! If I lived in Knoxville, this would definitely be one of my go-to spots!
