The bar is situated in a strip mall-type situation in Farragut, so there is plenty of parking. There's a great outdoor patio out front as well. There are a few different rooms in the bar scattered with various activities- shuffleboard, darts, and golf video games, along with an extensive beer and alcohol list. Don't plan to stay on your diet here because I think there are about 3 things on the menu: pretzel bites, wings and pizza. We had the pizza and it was truly amazing. Fun, friendly, Cheers-kinda vibe. I'd come back.

I've been here many times. I was here when it used to be the casual pint and I've been here a…read morecouple times when it's been the admiral pub. It was fairly busy when I visited, and there was a line to get beer, which isn't a problem. I happen to see a friend of mine waiting in line to get a beer. I walked over to speak with him. We hadn't seen each other in probably five or six years. Another guy cut in line right in front of him before he could get his beer. Then, when it was my friends turn, the bartender (Josh) was less than friendly. I realize that they're just pouring beer, but the gentleman was decidedly unfriendly, he did not smile even once; he did not even indicate that he was ready to take an order in anyway by acknowledging us with a look or anything. Heck, he didn't even speak to us. Honestly, he was just rude & beyond unfriendly. I don't get it. If you do not like your job, get a new one. If you don't like pouring beer for people (which does seem like a super great job), get a different job. The fact that he would be there on what appeared to be a fairly busy night, which is good for the business, and be so unpleasant is beyond my comprehension. So, the beer selection is very eclectic, with something for everyone. It's super great that you can buy beer to go. The female bartender was awesome. I'm conflicted on what sort of review that I should give Admiral pub, because there were so many positive aspects to it, except Josh pretty much ruined the entire experience by his sour demeanor (although I adore sour beers) and persistent scowl.

You check in with your credit card and get a wrist band for each person in your group. Then you scan your wrist band at each tap and pour as much or little as you want. The system keeps up with the quantity and price of each pour, and you pay at the end. The night we went, there was a live band playing. Inside there is a decent amount of seating, and there are lots of tables outside. Really fun place. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed the experience here. It took less than 30 seconds to check me in. All I need to do…read moreis give my ID to scan and a card to put on file (they said I can pay cash when it's time to pay if I wanted). Just like that I have a wrist band and can pick what ever beer I want. It's cool to pour 2-5 oz to try something with a low cost low risk opportunity. I had 21.8 oz total of different kinds of beers and it only cost me 10 bucks. I was checking out and someone else had a party of 5 and their bill was only $56 with beer and food. It seems like if you can navigate drinks and food well you can really get a great value. Totally recommend!
