The Back Door Tavern is a must try in Knoxville! It is what you would call a "major dive bar" but…read moreyou have to love it for what it is!

Five Thirty Lounge was exactly what I was looking for on a summer evening in Knoxville!…read more I visited on a Monday night because I wanted to spend some time outside and take in the mountain views. The lounge is located on the rooftop of the Hyatt Place in downtown Knoxville, and you can take the elevator straight up. There's a beautiful indoor space with large glass windows, stylish decor, and a full bar. The indoor bar area was pretty busy when I visited, but surprisingly, the rooftop patio wasn't crowded at all. I opted to have a server take care of me outside, and it was such a relaxing atmosphere. The outdoor space was definitely the highlight for me! There's plenty of seating, including high-top tables and chairs, lounge seating, and tables along the ledge. My favorite spot was one of the tables right by the edge facing the view. You get a beautiful look at downtown Knoxville with the mountains in the distance, and I loved that I could enjoy the view without the patio feeling packed. I ordered the Smoky Mountain Sunset, made with gin, mint, prickly pear, and yuzu soda. It was light, refreshing, and exactly what I wanted on a warm summer evening. Sipping a drink called the Smoky Mountain Sunset while actually looking out toward the mountains felt pretty fitting! If you're looking for a rooftop in downtown Knoxville to grab a cocktail, enjoy the weather, and take in the mountain views, Five Thirty Lounge is definitely worth a stop. I'd especially recommend going on a clear evening and grabbing one of the tables along the ledge if you can!

I could have given this 5 stars but having us wait about 10 minutes to be seated was more funny…read more The hostess started to seat us and then said it will be 5 min because she didn't want to "overwhelm" the waitress. 5 min? In a bar that is using moving quick and it was 5pm? As I said, not a problem just funny. Kyla was our waitress and was great. Friendly and very helpful in giving us information on two restaurants we were considering. Prices weren't bad considering it's a roof top bar with a great view.

It's quirky and the staff is super friendly making this all around a great experience. I got a magic potion drink because you got to keep the glass bottle it came in and it sparkled which came out to $12 plus a tip. What more could you want really. The drink was some kind of party punch, it was a little stiff but pretty tasty. If you're in the area this is worth checking out. It's a one of one and the drinks were reasonably priced for it being a novelty experience.

The place is eclectic and is know for its wide variety of vegetarian and vegan food. I wasn't sure how I would feel because if you have seen my other reviews eclectic isn't always my vibes because unfortunately sometimes it means dirty.

They had great prices and it also seemed like on certain weeknights they had specials.
