There wasn't live entertainment, just karaoke, which is offered in many places downtown for no cover. It was also not posted which, from my experience in Atlanta, they always post that there is a cover outside. Just feels scummy. It's a very average bar that offers literally nothing special. There is no great view, the service is the same as any bar, it doesn't even have a nice decor; there is no reason to be charging an entrance fee. Enjoyed the visit but will not return.

Also the place is kind of big and they also have a stage for the live bands. The bands that played that day were pretty rad I think all of them were local bands. I think it's great that this place supports local bands. I really like that they had collection of skateboards on wall. Addtionally I would've given this place a 5 star but they don't serve mixed drinks only beer which is a bummer for me. So I didn't get to drink because of that and also one of the reasons we left. They also had a cover charge which was at a decent price. Furthermore if y'all are looking for chill place I recommend trying this place out.

There are no matts behind the bar for the tenders to stand on, I already have knee problems and if I fall because they don't care enough to provide standard slip protection, along with Management sexually harrassing me every 8 minutes, it might just be my bar n grill by the time its over. The karoke is the worst part, we have to pretend like we enjoy that bs, in hopes whoever is up there thinking they can sing, get blasted enough to tip well when they pay their tab, because if you wonder why your server is being a bitch, its because they dont pay enough to live on much less put up with all the bs that comes with it.

It was an extremely tacky and disappointing experience especially since I loved tiptons when I was a college student at ETSU. I will not fight to spend my hard earned money anywhere therefore I will not be visiting a bar that discriminates against my nationality and identification. Very unwelcoming and disheartening... so much for supporting local businesses. I am a world traveler and have NEVER being denied entry anywhere else in the world. Pathetic.

This place was close to where we were having dinner at so we walked over to the place. Just walk in to the building and someone will greet you and they'll take you behind the bookshelf where you can't seat yourself. We took some of the low seats. Nothing wrong with that we were greeted with water so we had to decide what we wanted to drink. Highly recommend that you use your phone since the menus are QR code. Prices were pretty fair for the speakeasy. Restrooms were absolutely clean. A few things I noticed that kind of dropped a few Stars was that the Speakeasy was absolutely cold!It had to be about 60° inside. It took a long time for us to be served. Lastly, I noticed some of the staff drinking behind the bar. People here are absolutely friendly , you got all walks of life here and everyone here is having a great time. The staff are dressed for the occasion and it does feel intimate being inside this speakeasy. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back here again. After leaving, you leave through the back door. I do believe that the prices were a bit High compared to other visits of speakeasies I've been to but that's more so on Tennessee's part for the way they Factor checks.

Naturally I bought a ticket weeks in advance and got out my "Janet" costume. Rocky Horror is my not so secret secret love and I've been to dozens and dozens of performances throughout the southeast and in the UK. A girlfriend joined me and we met up at Capone's. The bar itself was really beautiful. A wall of booths lined the left and the substantial bar was parallel. The bouncers checked us in online and we got our wristbands with no issue. Drinks were up first and as I had a 30 minute drive back to Kingsport, I limited myself to one, but it was really good! Top shelf gin and soda with extra lime (to cover up the gin flavor - haha!) We moved beyond the bar into the second lower level space which was a mini/performance venue. The kind I frequented in high school and college (before kids, really...) and we staked out a place at the front so we could see the whole thing. Partially because I freaking love Rocky Horror and partially because my girlfriend is super petite and wouldn't be able to see over anyone's head if we didn't. I was delighted that there was an opening band. Having no idea what to expect I thought it was a bonus. However the bigger surprise was that the opening band was part of the Rocky cast! It ended up being a fantastic musical rendering of the movie and musicals I have seen before, complete with costumes and a word for word script recitation along with all musical numbers. We were blown away. I wish I could have gone back again for a chill evening at the bar, but I give it my full approval. The drinks were good, the aesthetic is really sumptuous and pretty, the restrooms were clean and the show was super fun!!! I'll make it back next time I'm in Kingsport or JC.

While this is in the hotel, I feel like this is a local bar or at least that's how the bartenders treat it. If you're a hotel guest you're ignored and get less service. Yet you get to watch the locals get preferred service. I sat and watched an older female guest go behind the bar, one bartender follow a Middle Aged man out of the bar and when they came back together about 15 mins later, she only talked to him and the other gentleman he was there with not making drinks for anyone but the 2 of them. I saw the bartender who took my order stop making my drink to take care of people she knew. I've had that same bartender when I stayed her before and she was unpleasant last time too, so she must night like out of towners. I wasn't overly hungry so just ordered the fried green tomatoes. They were tasty but very dry. I told her I didn't want remoulade, so got ranch instead, for an additional dollar even though I didn't get the remoulade (and I actually didn't even like their ranch). I may eat in the restaurant again if I stay at the hotel in the future. However I'll look to see who the bartenders are and if it's either of these 2 ladies, I'll probably save money and not give them my business.

This restaurant is like a mix of appalachia, middle eastern cuisine, and european techniques. The corn dogs were good, but not the table's favorite. Everyone raved the fresh ricotta with the roasted currants and pine nuts on fresh bread. The mushroom terrine was my mom's favorite dish of the night. The beef keema curry was delicious and a perfectly hearty winter meal. I loved the lamb hand pie, and the puff pastry was perfect and the filling had lovely warm spices. The beef tartare was different from what you may expect, but it was really good when you had a bite of everything, especially the sourdough chips. The ambiance could be best described as a hipster hunting lounge. It felt clean, the chairs were comfortable. Our server was really sweet and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. I look forward to coming back and seeing what's new!
