I came here on a Sunday to watch my Panthers play against the Titans and was this place an amazing spot to watch it. The great beers that are on tap and great prices and friendly atmosphere made this place worth it for me. I think this place is definitely going to be on my go to bars if I ever just want to chill and hang out. Twisted Mike's is definitely low-key. It's neatly tucked behind a Hardee's and you'll definitely drive by it if you're not looking for it. I loved the atmosphere. Talked to the Bar tender Casey until he left and a couple other people that go there. I decided to come here over Carolina Ale House as I didn't want a crazy crowd and all that extra stuff. I ordered not only their beer but their chili cheese dog as well as their 1/3 cheese burger. What did I think? I wish that their cheese burger had some lettuce on it, but hey I can't have everything right? I'll take the beer over it though, that coffee milk stout that they have on tap right now was so bomb! Anyways, this place will definitely be on my list if I want to go to a bar. I just have to make sure they have the games I want to watch on tv. One thing to note, they don't have the NFL package this year (2015-2016). Happy Hour is my shit here. $3 crafts?! $2 domestics. But $3 CRAFTS?! WHAT? Unheard of. This is definitely my place now as far as bars goes. I'll be back for more.

The vibe is cozy and laid-back, perfect for hanging out with friends or winding down after a long day. We ordered the nachos- nothing Michelin rated, but the perfect snack when paired with late night drinks and pinball. We ordered the full serving, but next time would get a half since we were unable to finish it. We spent most of the evening chatting with the friendly bartenders. One of them was newer (I think her name was Cat), and when I couldn't decide on a cocktail, she offered to make me a surprise drink based on what I like. She came up with a sour cherry vodka creation that was absolutely delicious -- spot-on for my taste! The main bartender was amazing as well, I believe her name was Ophelia (it started with an "O"). The music, decor, and overall atmosphere make this place feel like a cool neighborhood hangout. Everyone there was super welcoming, and if we lived in Knoxville, we'd definitely be regulars. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great drinks, classic pinball, and good company!

We were looking for a tiki bar in Knoxville, and this is what came up. It feels like it has some of…read morethe trappings of some of the metropolis tiki bars I've been to but in a smaller scale (that likely didn't require hundreds of thousands of dollars in building renovations). Drinks are heavily poured and true to their tiki origins, service is friendly, and the place feels really relaxing. PROS: -Good selection of drinks! Tiki drinks tend to be approachable to most people with their juice-forward design. They're also just pretty. Most of the drinks here run on the sweeter side, but there were a few drinks that looked like they'd run spirit-forward. I can't confirm as we didn't order them, but it gives people in your party some options. -Drinks are well-poured. If you're driving yourself, even one full cocktail is probably going to be pushing it. Definitely don't order some of their "Limit of...." cocktails in that case. But it's nice to get my money's worth. They taste very approachable, but they're heavily poured. -Every drink was nice to look at. They do a great job with garnishing; it was neat to watch as the server tends to garnish the drinks while the bartender makes the drink itself. We didn't receive any drinks in tiki mugs, but I also didn't see if they had tiki mugs either. -It's really nice to see that they attribute their recipes to where/when/who originally made the recipe. Most tiki drink recipes are "classic" recipes at this point, but it's really cool to see that they specifically listed out the 1930's bar that made the original drink recipe. -A good mocktail selection! While most of the mocktails kinda felt like "mixed juice concoctions", the fact that they had a whole page, had them reasonably priced, and still garnished them as if they were full cocktails was a nice surprise. As a DD, it felt like I was still having a great time and part of the social experience. -They have outdoor seating in front (I think?) and in back of the restaurant. It was too hot for that, but quite a few people were happily seated out there. That seems helpful as the restaurant itself doesn't have a ton of space. Expanding outdoors lets them seat a whole lot more people. -An extremely inebriated individual popped in, and while the bar turned them down for drinks, they handed them some water and let them use the restroom. They were extremely polite to someone who wasn't a "customer", and that was really nice to see. -Two individual unisex bathrooms. One of them has cute bird sounds that play while you're in there, and that was a really surprising touch. Both have free information and supplies for things adults may be doing after visiting here. CONS: -I wouldn't say this bar gives me "tiki bar" decor. They definitely serve tiki-style drinks, but the decor feels more "I love plants and leaves" than tiki. I still liked it...it's just not what I'm used to compared to most tiki bars. -Parking is a gigantic pain in the butt. We circled the area for a good 15 minutes to try to find a spot that wasn't in an extremely expensive parking lot. We ended up finding a street spot, but those max out at 2 hours. Plan at least a drink's price just to park to get into Tern Club. (Not the location's fault, but definitely be aware before you agree to meet up here.)

Lots of bamboo and tiki drinks think all sorts of different kinds of rum zombies, my ties, etc. Staff is very knowledgeable about what they're pouring. The only caveat I would give is that they make their drinks very strong and if you're not careful you're going to get a big buzz from these babies. While the cocktails might seem a little pricey, you're getting a lot for your money nice heavy pores of alcohol House made mixers and shrubs, knowledgeable staff and a really great atmosphere. When there's nice weather they have a small patio so you can sit outside and people watch which is great on the 100 block of gay Street you're always with you some interesting stuff there and you can watch the sunset and enjoy your drink. Like I said, this isn't for everybody but you should at least try it once

There, not only was I contractually obligated to abstain from Loud Mouth Soup, my college was located in a dry county - *gasp* - meaning I couldn't easily get my paws on the stuff even if I tried. Suffice to say, bars were not a part of my higher educational experience. To lessen the vast cultural gap in our relationship, the man took me on a raucous weekend getaway to Knoxville where we bar-hopped, wore Pantone 151 C orange, and whooped & hollered in Neyland til I developed a very sexy vocal fry. Of the several bars we visited, Cool Beans was my favorite by far. The beer's cheap, the vibes are strong, and the atmosphere is one I wish I could claim as personally nostalgic. I tried the jalapeño infused tequila in a Bloody Mary, and I really shouldn't have done that because it's 3 hours away from me and now I want one everyday.
