He's fast, kind gave me a lot of information about Newport Tennessee. GREAT service, great drinks & great music! Misty & Cassie are 2 other bartenders. Always smiling, never forget what I'm drinking. I feel special here. I love this restaurant/bar. Oh! Such comfort sitting on the bar stools. The chairs have a thick, padded seat and padded back. Those bar stools can put me to sleep if I sit back too long! The bar is shaped like a octagon so many can sit at the bar... They also have a lovely patio with a fire pit & a waterfall. It's very nice. Im staying in the area for an extended period of time. And I'm spending many of my meals and late night fun here at Michael's! Thank You all!

First time I went I got shoved to the ground by some dude, who got thrown out after. The type of…read morecrowd that goes there seems to be looking for trouble or easily get in trouble. Drinks are pricy as expected at a dance bar. Have once been told $30 as cover to get in and then I declined and walked away and was tried to get haggled down to $20 - nah not a bar in Knoxville worth $20 to get in the door. Another time it was $10 to get in though? I just avoid going at this point. Better music than Hannah's next door though.

I was out with my friends celebrating the 4th of July and we decided to go to Southbound. I was…read moredressed nice (khakis and a nice t shirt) and they refused me at the door because I was wearing birkenstocks. They claimed that I could not enter because of my open toe shoes. As I walked away I noticed three girls walking out and they all had on open toe shoes. When I asked the guy at the door why they were allowed in and why I wasn't, he told me it was because that were women and they had different standards for what they were allowed to wear. As an immigrant, this was very disheartening seeing the blatant sexism and double standards. I would never come here again and I hope the management takes a moment to realign their mission at this establishment to keep this situation from happening to someone else.

Horrible experience here. the bartenders and bouncers are very aggressive. even towards women…read more they'll kick you out for no reason and be very hostile about it.

The girl who came in and BANGED on the stall door until it opened claims to be a bartender here. She was so mad that we were taking pics for SOME reason that she got her body guards and kicked us out. How rude. I will never come back here and I recommend you don't either. The staff was awful and the service was awful. The disrespect was insane actually.
