I'd spotted their food on Yelp and decided to order a couple of burgers online for takeout. When I walked in, it had that classic college dive bar feel--only a handful of patrons, all probably in their 60s, which made it clear the college year hadn't started yet. I imagine the atmosphere is completely different when the students are back. I ordered a whiskey while I waited. The bartender mentioned they just switched to a new online ordering system that's a bit clunky since receipts only list confirmation numbers, not names. The burgers were a pleasant surprise--served on thick, buttery toasted Texas toast, cooked to a juicy medium, and packed with flavor. Simple, classic, and exactly what I was craving after a day of moving. The white mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and the perfect comfort side.

Our waitress let us sit in the window seat for some peace and it had a great romantic atmosphere there. We started out at the bar and had drinks and an appetizer then moved to the table after the wait. We had the herb and cheese bread appetizer, state street fancy burger, creamy wood smoked tomato linguine with chicken and a cherry bomb pizza to split. Everything was perfect. My burger was cooked exactly to my liking and the chicken was tender in the pasta dish. The pizza is very flavorful but not overly greasy and "heavy." We also split a fantastic, fresh and monstrous wedge salad as we were trying to sample a little of everything. All this combined with a great value in price compared to the quality of food. We can't wait to go back.

My wife enjoyed the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, 3/5. The meat and peppers were cooked well and seasoned wonderfully, but the bread was pretty dry and there was no sauce on it. I slammed down the Skrimp Pope Boy, a sandwich I will be thinking of for quite some time. The grilled shrimp was seasoned to perfection, the sauce was a delicacy; just thinking about it has my mouth watering. 9/5 There was live music playing outside, the band was pretty great. We sat outside after it had rained, so the wooden table was pretty wet. Unfortunately some of the rust on the sides of the table rubbed off on our clothing. Their stools were not comfortable and definitely not made for leisurely sitting in.

Nothing fancy but just a place for great food & cold beer. The owner / manager stopped by and chatted with us as we left. Very nice. We decided we would return! Thank you! (Sorry no pictures!)

Walked in at 6:30 Saturday evening with a party of 6. There was no hostess nor any sign about self-seating, so we walked up to the bartender to ask about seating, and he was a bit rude, but told us to sit wherever we wanted. We sat and waited for more than 20 minutes. As can be seen in the photos, the place was far from busy, with many empty tables. We finally left after receiving no service. This place is a gimmick for college kids, not a serious cocktail lounge, save your time and spend your money elsewhere.

Depending on which way you are coming, you may need to drive to the far end of the parking lot past the bakery to enter the lot. There is a closer entrance but it is angled for the opposite direction and not an easy turn. There are also several one-way lanes in the parking lot so you may need to drive extra to get to an open parking spot. We did find handicapped spaces close to the entrance, but you need to drive to the back of the lot to get onto the one-way lane that goes past them. While these are the closest spots, it is still a bit of a walk to the entrance of the building, although everything is nicely paved and even. Once you get in, the interior is bright and inviting. There are many centralized seating options throughout the interior, mostly high-top tables but a few normal tables arranged in cozy settings. There is a patio in the rear of the building for when the weather is nice. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The center is made up of all the various eating establishments. There is no specific seating for the individual restaurants, so you will order your food from whatever place strikes you fancy and then take the food packaged into To Go containers to a table in one of the many seating areas. Make sure you pick up utensils and napkins from where you ordered your food as there is nothing on the tables. We were there after the lunch rush so it really was not crowded at all. There were small groups of people wandering around as well as several eating a late lunch. We did notice the overhead background music was loud and made conversation difficult. I could imagine during lunch or the in evening the overall sound level would be high as the acoustics do not favor conversation. This is pretty much only a food court. We had heard there were various craft shops as well, but apparently those had all closed. While the food selection is quite varied, addition of something to do other than eating would make this a destination location rather than just a food stop. There is some renovation happening in one end, so perhaps other shops are coming in the future. Still, it is a clean location with great interior space and makes use of a building with a lot of history that was important to the area.

Whether it's the Wednesday blues jam, the Friday karaoke ecosystem, or the Saturday-night live-band deliverable, Paul's consistently executes at a best-in-class level. My mom loves this place. My cousins love this place. My "I-don't-know-a-G-chord-from-a-garlic-knot" friends love this place. Alignment across all demographics; consider that your first indicator this establishment is doing something very right. Now, let's talk consumables. The loaded fries are a strategic advantage. The chili? Surprisingly robust. The pizza, pizza rolls, boneless wings, and their fried okra all score well above industry standard. And let the record reflect: this team has never once short-changed a serving. Portion control simply isn't part of the Paul's Oasis operating model. A quick expectation alignment: this is a smoking bar. The atmosphere carries... well, atmosphere. If you walk in wearing fresh laundry, you will not walk out that way. That's not a bug... that's the user manual. Please don't ding them on Yelp because you forgot where you were. Finally, the people. Paul, Debbie, their son, and the whole family‐run leadership suite are salt-of-the-earth operators who treat every guest like a returning shareholder. Being greeted by name here feels like a quarterly bonus. Yes, it's a locals' bar. Yes, we're intensely proud of that. And in a Knoxville whose downtown is slowly converting into a theme-park for tourists, Paul's remains one of the last great, authentic, high-trust community environments standing. Stop by. We'll save you a barstool and probably hand you a microphone.
