I love this little hidden gem off Kingston Pike. This is truly the only place in town anyone could…read morecall me a regular. Small but diverse beer selection with a couple local selections. I really come for the excellent mixed drinks. Favorite place to get a smoked old fashion in town. Great flavor and presentation. I recommend substituting Buffalo Trace for the company seismic rye. Super friendly staff and a home town bar feel. No food but sticky rice cafe next door delivers. I have taken to swinging by for an after dinner drink whenever I go out in west Knoxville. If coming west turn like going to Trader Joe's and cut through the bank parking lot. There is no left turn from Kingston Pike.

I had never heard of this place before but my husband and I stopped in while we were waiting for a…read moretable at Sticky Rice Cafe. We had no expectations, but were pleasantly surprised at the chill environment. Our bartender was so friendly! We played shuffle board until our table was ready. At the time we hadn't finished our drinks, and the bartender told us we could take our drinks with us next door as long as we brought back our glasses. I think that's the way to go, and I was honestly surprised more people didn't do this while they waited.

A quick Yelp search while in the area led us here. It was a good find for sure…read more Loved that even on cold days, there is a closed-in patio that allows pups! Our pup travels everywhere with us, so finding these spots is important to us. It was very spacious too - so we weren't on top of other guests. They have an extensive menu and the same with the beer list. There is something for everyone, from hoppy IPAs to fruity sours. Not sure which beer you may like - get a sample. Or try a flight! For lunch, we got the deviled eggs to start - something that is a go-to for us. They were solid and enjoyable. For the main, we opted for the Abridged burger and the Chicken club. Both were solid as well. Fries were crispy, but a bit over-salted, and I enjoy some salt. So made a note for next time to "go light". Service was good too. Overall - really only a tiny detail to 'complain' about, but easily taken care of next time. We will be back for sure - I want to try their pizza!

Came here to grab a brew so the review is not on the food. I am familiar with Abridged burgers, as…read morethey have a food truck outside of Xul Brewing Company on the others side of the city. Burgers have always been top notch and awaiting their takeover of the Xul kitchens here. Bar staff on top of service, even refilling water when it got low. Service is a plus. Ambiance is more restaurant feel than brewery, although there is a wide selection of brews available. She order a lemondrop. Nice job, but you get a lemondrop pretty much the same no matter where you go. Beer is very good here. I did not have one I did not enjoy. I need to return some time and try some of their food menu items.

Love Bob's! I'm just starting to get in to bourbons. What I love about the store is that they…read moretake time to figure out what you like and will give you some suggestions based off what you tell them. Also, their selection is as good as anyone's in Knoxville. Their prices are fair. They're higher on some stuff and lower on others, but they're in line. I haven't been in a store yet that is any different. The store is nice, clean, bright and well laid out. The staff is incredible. I'll go to other places just to see what their store picks are, but Bob's is where the majority of my money goes. I would say the only drawback to Bob's is they don't have many bottles to sample from. It seems only the store picks have tastings available.

The signage has now changed to "Bob's Liquor Store." :-) This local gem is across from Trader Joe's…read moreand has a huge selection of liquor, mixers, beer, and wine. Lots of local breweries and wineries featured here as well. Don't worry, they've also got you covered with a variety of party goods and VOLS trinkets. How fun! The best part is that the service is friendly and the pricing is surprisingly reasonable for a non-big box shop.

You may run into folks in business suits, jogging suits, work uniforms, tuxes - prom/wedding gowns, swim suits and even costumes. Cool thing is...everyone is welcome & you can just be yourself, whether you're 21 or 91 years old!!! You may toast a beer with Peyton Manning, the mayor, a country music star, a famous lawyer or even some of us common folks on any given night!!! The owner, Barry Cook, makes everyone welcome and his staff is absolutely awesome (reminds you of "Cheers" because they know your name & your beer is poured before you even sit down)!!!!!! I highly recommend visiting the BDT if you have never been there!! You'll be happy you did. The people make it --- ALL the people: owner, staff, customers and even first time patrons!!!

When our pizza arrived, it was very thin crust, and there were very few toppings and for a buffalo pizza, we couldn't find the buffalo sauce. Definitely not worth the price of the Pizza. There was a gentleman playing music outside that was quite good. In short, beer and service great. Food and pricing for food well below expectations. We would go back for drinks and live music.

My wife and I went to this West location on a Tuesday night. The space felt more industrial and…read morewithout a lot of people felt large and empty, lots of tables in there so built for crowds. I counted 23 taps of beer at the bar, virtually every style is covered, an impressive number and the three we tried were excellent. I had the West Coast IPA and my wife had the Oktoberfest and the Black Rice Lager. The service was excellent. Instead of going for the pizza, which they have a lot of, we went with the Pretzel and beer cheese which my wife liked better than I did. The real star was the Muffuletta sandwich which hands down was the best version of this sandwich I've ever had. The Olive spread had diced jalapeño in it so pretty spicy and oh so good. So between the many taps and that sandwich, CBB West gets a five star.

Not the place for me…read more.. I would guess this is a good place if you are someone from the neighborhood or a regular but it was not friendly and the service was bad. The food was OK, but i expected some English pub type food, but it was just the same type of sandwichs prepared differently. The service was bad. I ordered my food and had pay for it right there just like at a Burger King. They dropped the food on the table and left. Nobody ever checked back to see if it was made correctly or if I needed anything. So many other places with better service and food - definitely a hard pass on a return visit...
