    Our last stop on our tasting tour. Here they were pretty busy but space opened up along the small tasting bar. We were able to specify which moonshine we wanted to try. They had good flavors. Paul was able to juggle more than one group as new folks came up. There was also merchandise for purchase.

    A fun shirt that I got there tonight!!!

    This is my favorite distillery in TN hands down! The best moonshine ever! Also with the friendliest staff ever! The service is impeccable by any others Ive ever encountered! Fun atmosphere with a moonshine, Rum and Cream liqueur tasting stations! They also have a great indoor bar serving up some delicious cocktails and during the summer they sometimes have an outdoor bar as well!!!

    Delicious Old Fashioned's

    Sitting outside and enjoying these delicious Old Fashioned's on this beautiful Friday evening in the Smoky Mountains. Great bartenders too!

    P'gin Fizz!

    Tastings of moonshine and creams! Awesome. Got ourselves a p'gin fizz ahead of dinner at the Mill next door! Plenty of souvenirs to buy (we got the funny coasters, maybe the p'gin fizz working on us!!) Nice establishment off the beaten path. Check it out!!

    Lots of distilleries in Tn but this one was so cute and smelled wonderful. We tried the cocktails and it was great especially for the price. I loved how the bartenders provided suggestions for folks depending on the percentage of alcohol, flavor profile and what they are lol. Fun times at Old Forge!

    Free tastings of various flavors of moonshine and creams. We've stopped at a few of these throughout our trip and they're always enjoyable. It's interesting to taste the variety of flavors they come up with. You have to show an id, no matter your age. Please leave a tip, since there's no charge for the tastings.

    There seem to be a distillery on every corner of this area and this was on our walking path so we stopped in. They had a lot of different flavors on the moonshine and I think I liked the peach the best. They also had a bunch of merchandise so I picked up something that was there but didn't buy any shine.

    This is a must when in the area, because how can you not. This has to be one of our best highlights of our recent trip to smoky mountains! Tasters? Yes!!... Let me rephrase .... FREe Tasters for days!!! Brian? I think... Was awesome .. energetic, with tons of fun related jokes and facts about the distillery and its spirits. cant wait to visit again when in the area. As if one tasting station wasnt enough., They had multiple stations throughout the distillery. And cool little items for souvenirs. the other stations had small fees. One minor thing...wish they had travel friendly little samplers for sale. Would totally have bought them!! Thank you again for the awesome samples, outstanding customer service and delicious moonshine!

    Come with me to Paloma Scratch Kitchen & Bar, located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I was driving…read moredown the parkway and wasn't sure what to eat when I glanced to the side and saw a building with my name on it. With a cool interior design, Paloma offers some delicious Mexican food. To start, I had the Paloma Guacamole, fresh and tasty. They give you the choice of blue or yellow corn tortillas, which you can taste and are freshly made. I also tried their white sangria, which was refreshing and delicious. I had their Yuca Fries and a Pork Carnitas Taco. Their food was delicious and had great flavor; however, I found their prices a bit steep, $6 for a single taco was kind of wild to me. Overall, Paloma was good. The service was kind and the food was good.

    So, day 2 of our experience at Paloma wasn't quite as good as day one. Luis is terrific. However,…read moreon day two... we were seated sort of quickly with a bit of a not-as-friendly welcome. It wasn't that busy but the 3 workers were running around...I mean 3 seated tables! Eventually, our order was taken (also breakfast). We asked 3 times for extra cream for the coffee. The coffee arrived after the food without extra cream. Wife likes a lot - we let it go. I specifically asked for no syrup on my french toast. Well, you probably know what happened here - syrup on the french toast. We did mention the syrup and the server offered to change it and claimed he/she did submit our request. I declined...I used to work in the food business and it's burned in to my brain to not send food back. The food was pretty good and the server was trying but seemed overwhelmed.

Bad assumption! We almost had to sit at the bar (which would have been OK, but we kind of wanted more privacy) but the hostess found us a high-top table. We had to drive up a big hill to get to the restaurant, so I assume the view outside is super nice, but we sat indoors to get away from the heat :) In general, our server did an OK job, but I do think she could have checked on us a little more, and the service felt quite slow. Our meal started with some complimentary spoonbread (which was pretty tasty!) and a Dylan cocktail for me, which took forever to come out. The Dylan was not really my cup of tea, it turns out - I guess I'm just a beer drinker at heart :) My wife got the Caesar salad for an appetizer and then we split the Beef Wellington for a shared entree. I sampled my wife's Caesar and it was very tasty! The Beef Wellington also took a long time to come out, but the wait was worth it, as it was very good! The beef was cooked medium rare as expected and the pastry was tasty. For our side, we chose broccolini and it was seasoned well. Despite the service hiccups, we had a good experience here. I would definitely consider coming back, and I'd recommend the Greenbrier to others.
