What an absolute blast of a place to hangout at! Finally came down and checked out this bar and couldn't have had a better time! There is tons of space on their wrap-around deck with seating and walkways along the railing if you prefer to hangout outside, and if you're more in the mood to sit indoors, there is plenty of seating inside as well. You'll have tons of options for beers, and the staff here couldn't be more friendly. Outside, there is even an outdoor stage environment where they host local events and entertainment. Definitely recommend checking out this place if you haven't stopped in already. read more

Hi Wire Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

‍I was charged $4 for Oktoberfest beer last week, because after Sunday's yoga class 1st beer is 1/2 off. Today I was charged $5.48 for the same beer after the yoga. I really want to keep supporting this business so I asked the bartender about it and they gave me refund. read more

Hi Wire Brewing - First beer 1/2 OFF after yoga class! Whaaaa?! - Breweries Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Not much to it. We went on a Sunday afternoon and that probably contributed to the lack of people and entertainment.

Very cool place. Love the vintage signage to list the beers. The Monday 20 oz drink special is awesome. Outdoor seating is a plus in addition to the large number of seats available inside. read more

The place is big and nice inside The beer mainly the sours are awful they have not taste Definitely will not be back

Great selection of beers ... and I didn't need glasses to read the beer menu. We ordered food from Red Bud just nextdoor and brought it in. The bartenders were very friendly. My only complaint would be the parking situation, it kind of sucks. read more

I just paid $7.5 for a pint of flagship / core beer from a growing-corporate nearest to here but not here brewery. I loved Hi Wire. Beers were solid--not epic--and affordable $6-6.5 for core beers. Mug club tripled in price. Prices up by 20%. It's good, but not that good. Heart breaks to say that a 3yr regular just got priced out of the game for a not-local beer shop. read more

I was happy with my visit. Good beer, cool vibe, located next to a few other breweries so in my opinion good location. I liked that they sold single cans so you could try a variety without needing to buy a whole 4 pack. Nice spot! read more

Pet friendly, even inside. Great beer. Lots of fun games. No complaints here. A great place to escape the summer heat while we were camping. We are Asheville locals and are partial to the RAD location, but like I said, no complaints! read more

Love this place! Such a large, open space with fun games that has a rooftop patio, and both indoors and outdoors are dog and kiddo-friendly. They host quite a bit of events and activities, including trivia, markets, etc. The restaurant downstairs will bring you food to pair with the fantastic beer on tap. SouthCoast pizza is also a few doors down. To top it off, you can enjoy the locally-created murals on the walls and the fantastic service from the bar staff. Two thumbs-up, y'all! Note that parking is tricky when busy. You can park in front of the elementary school across the street when not in session. read more

Huge venue, nice menu. We popped in to do some work. The Wi-Fi is free but you need to request the password. For beers, after a few samples, we settled on the seasonal Oktoberfest and the Broken Nails Brown Ale. There's a lot more beer to try, so returning is a must. Until next time... read more

Nice place, animal friendly. Website scan very difficult to navigate. Bartender knowledgeable, if a little short on words, but good at his job. Free table games, ping pong etc, nice to have. Try it out. You will not be disappointed. They make the most delicious sour beers. Yummy read more

Hi Wire Brewing - Flight of sours! Yum - Breweries Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Having taken countless trips over the mountains to Asheville, I was excited to hear HiWire was coming to nearby Knoxville. This venue is a wonderfully raucous beer circus. The noise level will tell you that much and don't be surprised to let out a mild shout occasionally. However, they have plenty of patio seating lining the back side of the building to relax. The beer menu can be seen as soon as you enter and their brews are a welcomed sight in E Tennessee. Their IPAs are stellar and they pride themselves on their lagers. Not as many dark beers but they will certainly have time to rotate the list. The "bed of nails" brown is a standout in my opinion. They also have a few Togo package beers available also. My group enjoyed the ping pong and footy-billiards in the open area. I spotted a few disc golf baskets that will get some use in the coming months as well. No TVs but I've heard they will break out a projector for the Saturday College football crowd. They have a rotating food truck schedule so that will solve the 4th beer weary eyes situation. The inside is a great wide-open rustic space to socialize. Cheers! read more

I don't frequent breweries often and wanted to kill some time on a Wednesday afternoon at 6 PM and had my dog with me so I decided to go have a beer and hang out for a little bit. There were about six people in the entire place and the environment looks pretty nice and I bet it's cool when there's a lot of people. I got served #1, a lager, and asked what sizes they had and I went with a 10 ounce. The standard size is a pint. But was a bit taken aback that the 10oz was $8. The beer was good but it wasn't eight dollars worth of good and definitely not for a 10oz. I just hate feeling like I got robbed. It doesn't leave a good impression and I will not likely be coming back. The gentleman that served me was not very friendly either. And didn't even acknowledge my dog or asked if I wanted a water bowl for my dog. I had to get my own out of my car. read more

Dropped in on a Saturday for a few Hi-Wire IPAs. Pleasantly surprised to see Well Station BBQ setting up. Get in line early if you're hungry. Great indoor, outdoor space and easy area to park. read more

First - they have a TON of beers. I'm an IPA guy. I love the fact they have several different IPAs on draft - all pretty delicious. They also have coolers of canned beers available for purchase. Prices are similar to stores like Kroger that sell Hi-Wire around Knoxville. During COVID, it seems like they're taking all the precautions: there are 6-foot distance markers on the floor when you're in line, plexiglass at the bar between the customer and the staff, and everyone is required to wear a mask unless you're at your table. They have a large indoor space and 2 separate outdoor spaces. Finally - they use a really cool app called "arryved" that you can download to your phone. It links up with their point of sale system. Once you set up your profile and enter your card information into the app the bartender just needs your name in order to add your beer to the tab. Whenever you're ready to close out you can just do it through the app. LOVE Hi-Wire's beer. So thrilled they're in Knoxville. read more

It's hi-wire. They are everywhere and you know what you're getting. They have some cool games around and were fairly busy for a cold January Saturday night. read more

Fun environment, industrial feel with lots of space. Ping pong and air hockey (I think that's what they are called) games, a great variety of beer, indoor and outdoor seating. This place is really awesome! read more

An actual brew pub, but honestly family friendly. Not your typical snotty, "we're cool, don't you wish you could be' Honest to gosh, I was dragged here; but once you walk in, it's amazing. Product quality is very good, huge selection with ABV clearly displayed so you know the buzz factor and can make smart decisions;and guys behind the bar truly know their product...and family friendly? They have a small area devoted to future beer drinkers, or grownups who like to play in the sand. read more

I had trouble deciding 4 or 5 stars. I was close to going 5, based on the "it is what it is" philosophy- meaning I don't judge lunch diners the same way I do a high-caliber full-service swanky restaurant. In this case they don't have food offerings but after all it's a brewery NOT a restaurant. So anyway I went with 4 since some breweries do have great food and some have at least snacks (which they may have but nothing special, I don't think). However,- it's very easy to order from Redbud, downstairs, and Redbud is pretty awesome. All that to explain why just four stars when there are so many positives. Great variety of beer types, great wide-open space (even the most covid-careful folks could go there and keep good distance the entire time) and great staff, always friendly and helpful. They seem to have activities just about every evening-- although we've usually been there when they were just setting up for music, or trivia nights, etc. I don't know if they have happy hour or specials etc. but I hope to go again and find out. read more

Joel and Bre were so kind and fun. They rocked tonight and we really appreciated the conversation and quick drinks. I've been coming here for a while and it's great to see familiar faces who remember my name and give great service. Besides that, If you want a good beer, this is the spot! read more

I'd had Hi-Wire before, them being one of the top tier breweries outta Asheville. I knew once they popped into Knoxville, the quality would be there. They carried over the wealth of selection, and I love that they keep with the seasonal selections. If you're a heavy beer fan, it's hard to go wrong with the 10W-40. Gotta say, I am blown away by how massive the space is. There is plenty of room to bring a lot of folks, or have some alone time with your sweetie. They also have a bunch of different games to play, including my new favorite: soccer pool. It's level of difficulty is pretty high, but it's such a great bar game to play. read more

Hi Wire Brewing - two men playing a game of pool - Breweries Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Super cool place!! Loads of seating. Wide beer selection to fit palates across the board. We loved the ping pong and shuffleboard games. Haven't seen the pool/soccer games in Ohio. They looked really cool. At a busier time parking could be tricky, but maybe not for a local. read more

Great atmosphere with fun games to play. Service was great and there was a good selection of beer on tap. Fun spot.

It's like Chucky Cheese with no pizza! The games need to be removed and replaced with more tables! Seems like parents drop their kids off to play while they go somewhere else! We had one round and left. If you like to drink beer in a day care center, come on down! I warned the bar staff that it's only a matter of time before they end up with a lawsuit over an injured kid! read more

Really nice place, you can bring your dog which is very nice. They have a lot of stuff to do. Their beers are fantastic. The place is clean a the restaurant are also very clean. They have a large section of beers. I like that you can get different size pours. We will be back read more

Great beer and broad variety. The IPA family is well represented and interesting. Big location with a ton of outside seating so that it is easy to social distance. Staff is excellent! Everyone very beer-competent and helpful. H-W is an wonderful place to spend a delicious and lazy afternoon or evening. read more

The entire staff is great I think I've had the pleasure of meeting everyone. And I will say Joel, max, and Cody are amazing bartenders and really make hiwire special. Not only does hiwire Knoxville have amazing beer but they have even more amazing customer Service. Joel and Max have been the cornerstone of my great experiences at hiwire for around 2 years now and Cody who just joined is a great addition to the team. The other staff are great as well but I don't remember their names off the top of my head. read more

Great place with plenty of space for distancing. Awesome venue for visiting with friends again but responsibly. Oh, and some great taps. If you like 'Em dark, avoid the other options and go straight for the Chocolate Macaroon stout. #trust read more

Super cool place! Tons of space, good beer, good vibes. Also super affordable - would definitely recommend for a casual night out

I like the atmosphere here, it's a good place to meet with friends and in a cool part of town. Only problem is the couple times I've stopped by I seem to get sub par service - based on the other reviews it may not be the norm so I may try to give it another shot sometime in the future. read more

Great beer selection! Open floor plan is kind of awkward but the south Knox area is really cool so hi wire is a great stop when exploring the area. read more

I absolutely love this tap room! Every time I visit, I have a great experience and the beer never disappoints. My favorite part of visiting is how friendly the staff is and how they remember me! I live in NC, so it's refreshing to visit TN and have friends that remember me and love talking with me. Lesley, the manager is especially friendly and always asks me about my life and how things are going. She definitely knows how to make a customer feel warm and welcomed. Max is another bar tender I've seen here for many years and I love his fun personality and it's so nice to see familiar faces. This must be a cool place to work, since they've both been at this location so long!! read more

I am so excited to have Hi-Wire in Knoxville! They have 20-23 beer choices including sours, lagers, IPA, and porters. There is plenty of seating inside, limited seating outside for now. I hear a roof top is coming. There are currently two food trucks outside. It is a great place to grab a beer and chat or come ready to play the giant games. The noise level is extremely high, but everything else was fantastic! read more

First of all, this is a great place for young people who aren't going to get out of hand with beer-drinking. It is a place for engaging with people and having fun. I had two flights (four 4 oz. each) of varying brews and liked them all. The bartenders were helpful and polite. They don't serve food, but have food trucks after 6:00 PM, which makes the place DOG FRIENDLY! The facility appears to be and old warehouse. Concrete floors and a range of tables from seating two to eight-ish. There are foosball tables, ping-pong tables, and a very interesting-looking thing called soccer-pool. It's a wooden frame with six soccer-ball sized "pockets." There are balls marked up like billiard balls and a cue. It's got astro-turf, and is about 6' X 15' or so. I intend to try it out on my next trip there. read more

Hi-Wire Brewing has great atmosphere, great staff, great craft beer and provided an amazing time with friends!

Hey Hi-Wire management, I went to your location in south Knox tonight. I am part of a social and charitable organization (that I won't name here. However, it's organized through facebook and we have 6,000 members. The only reason I mention our membership is because we have shirts with your sponsorship on the back. I just joined in March and got my first shirt late spring. On our organization's website your sponsorship and discount is listed for all 6,000 members to see. There's was a small gathering at your facility tonight for the ladies in our org, approximately 20-25 people. Several of us wore our t-shirts with the understanding that the discount was still intact. When I asked about the half off monday through thursday on pints (per the discount agreement), I was told that deal was no longer available. Why should an organization with 6000 members sell t-shirts with YOUR HIWIRE LOGO on the back not qualify for a discount that was agreed upon between HiWire and our organization?? I will wait until our group makes new shirts WITHOUT HiWire logo on the back before wearing one in public again. Also, I lived in Asheville when HiWire first opened. I was a huge fan when you all opened a location in my hometown of south Knoxville. However, now that I have had such a poor experience with HiWire, I will be taking my south Knoxville beer business to a true local-- Alliance. read more
