Suttree's High Gravity Tavern - grilled cheese and potato chips (put potato chips in ramen bowl) - Ramen Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

See all

Meh. I do enjoy a bar with arcade games so that makes me happy. Pinball, skeeball, pacman & more. Also a pool table & foosball. There were about 20 beers on tap but not much variety in styles. Mostly sours, gose & IPAs The bartenders were available to get you a beer but were not knowledgeable about any of them. read more

Ramen was very good, had a lot of flavor. Pork a dilla???? Can't recall what it was called was also a good choice and had a nice kick to it.

The brisket ramen bowl is amazing! It's warm and filling especially now that it's cold outside. The atmosphere is cozy with all the wood influences. There is an insane amount of options for beer. So if unsure what to choose, the bar staff and a sample will help you out. If you are local and you've never been, you are missing out! If you're visiting downtown Knoxville, pop in and be delighted at this new gem you discovered. read more

Very cheaply made noodles. They dont look like the pictures at all. Staffs were rude, they dont pay attention to you or knowledge your existence unless you put your face in front of them. Just an overall disappointing experience. read more

Went in tonight and walked up to the bar, place was semi busy but there was a seat open. The bartender, (middle aged man with glasses) was painfully rude. As he was directly in front of me I politely asked for a food menu and he didn't make eye contact with me.. waited.. then grabbed a menu and slammed it on the bar top in front of me. Not sure what his deal was but we decided to leave after that. I was excited to try to ramen. Bartender sir, I hope your evening got better ! Sorry for asking for a menu. read more

Amazing ramen with brisket- shin black bowl A MUST!!! So happy I came and will be a regular. Every variety you want. It's a bit spicy but they have a bowl without spice. Can't post picture because it's all gone :) ! read more

I've been coming to this place for 6-7 years now, and with the recent change in management, everything I used to love has changed. Wait times are longer. Service isn't to par. We were actually told it would take an HOUR to receive an entree on a night the bar was half full. BRING GEORGE BACK!!!! read more

I got the black shin ramen to go. The cabbage was amazing. It was way better then anything I,could make at home. Vary filling

Had dinner here on a Tuesday evening with my boss while on a business trip based on a friend's recommendation. The ramen was great - hot, spicy, and fresh veggies! The beer selection was a good balance of local, regional, and national craft brewers. Finally, the atmosphere was laid back and the service was friendly and attentive. Check this place out. read more

"""Beware"""Ramen fans the noddles in this place are not real noddles they buy the cheap Walmart stuff. I like the concept noddles and beer that is genius but come on don't mess with the art of making Ramen that's disrespect. I had the Matt bowl that s... was so Smokey I couldn't event enjoy my beer smh! Anyway just expressing my feelings read more

Ate here while in town with some coworkers. We were looking for a place to grab a few drinks and play some Golden Tee, this place delivered. The staff were nice, even though the place was packed. The Golden Tee machine was in very good condition, which is always a nice plus. We were amazed at the amount of games they had here! The food looked and smelled amazing; however, we did not order anything. read more

Great place to have a fun date! Play games and have a good selection of beer to choose from. I

So fun! I like that the two bars are connected but separated. The bar is really creative and lights up, most of the games are pretty cheap. This is more of a beer place, so don't expect a nice cocktail menu. The staff have always been nice each time we are there, and usually pretty knowledgeable about the different types. While it's not a kids place, they've been nothing but welcoming to my 7 year old who likes to play the games, just as long as we come in early before the night time drinking begins. So if you're reading this parents, don't be a jerk and bring your kid to the bar at night while it's a busier time, stick to earlier if you're going to do it. You and the other patrons will both have a better time that way. read more

I've been here several times, and the service has never been great. This is easy to forgive when they're busy, however the last time I was here the lack of consideration was unbelievable. There were only half a dozen patrons in the bar, and I was sitting at the bar, facing the taps. We sat for about five minutes while the bar tender talked to his buddy at the end of the bar towards the kitchen area. We stared. And we stared some more. And we kept staring. He finally approached us. I got the distinct feeling he found waiting on us to be a nuisance. He got our beers, opened our tab and went back to his conversation. When my first beer was empty, it sat in front of me for approximately 10 minutes. Again, I will remind you, I was one of 3-4 people at the bar, with another 2-3 people in the entire place. We again stared at him. And we stared more. And more. Finally another bartender who appeared to have just begun his shift saw me and asked if I wanted a beer. "I WOULD LOVE A BEER!" I announced, making very little attempt to hide my annoyance with the situation. He looked apologetic and gave me my second beer. He then began cleaning the windows while his coworker remained in his conversation with his buddy. By the time my second beer sat in front of me empty, with my bartender still steadfastly ignoring me, I was ready to pay and leave. This may prove to be the final straw for me, as the time before this I was at Suttree's for my birthday, and they did not honor my free birthday beer. You can be put on a mailing list so that they email you and offer you a free pint for your birthday. When I went in for this and a meal, the bartender asked for my ID to prove it was my birthday. I complied. Approximately 10 minutes later we decided to leave. Upon tabbing out, the beer was charged to me. Great beer is awesome. Bad service is memorable. Doubt I'll be back. read more

As a craft beer lover, this place already garnishes my respect for their selection. The taps turnover regularly, and the variety is usually excellent (although occasionally leaning too heavily towards IPAs). This is probably the best selection of high gravity beers on tap in this area. The food is very good, and the staff friendly. The atmosphere is fairly dark and stereotypically bar-like. I do enjoy the small patio when the weather is nice. read more

Delicious revolving beers, old pub atmosphere, pretentious bar backs, and shockingly amazing food...........this place is damn near perfect. It's my Cheers. What else is there to say? read more

Suttree's High Gravity Tavern - Ahhhhhh........ Beer............ - Ramen Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

See all

Came here for a beer. The staff is extremely friendly and informative as they help you find the right draft. I explained I was looking for a beer with "poundability" and I was recomended a Kolsch from Boulevard out of Saint Louis Missouri. It was just what I was craving. read more

Suttree's High Gravity Tavern - Bar area - Ramen Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

This is an awesome, dive-ish bar located in the heart of downtown Knoxville on Gay Street. Awesome selection of craft beer on draft, with two different bars to order from. Lots of bar and high-top seating available. Staff were friendly for the most part, and knowledgeable about their selections. But have I mentioned the arcade? This place has an arcade! Huge selection of old-school arcade games (think Ms. Pacman, pinball, skee-ball, Crazy Taxi, etc.). Most were only 25 - 50 cents to play. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and there were plenty of games to go around. We didn't have anything to eat, so can't comment on that! But seriously, if you're in the area, try Suttree's! So much fun! read more

Good people serving good beer and good bar food. A couple dozen taps that turn over almost daily because anyone in Knoxville who knows beer knows to come here for otherwise hard-to-find craft beer from all over the region and country. Friendly, community bar atmosphere in the heart of downtown, but tucked away on Gay Street just enough that tourists and folks in from the burbs for date night will walk right by.... perfect. read more

The beer selection is great. However, the attached arcade is gross. It smells like pee and the floor is sticky. Also, that's not ramen. It's instant ramen. Let's not be ignorant here. read more

OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS PLACE. Ok. I just had to get my point across with all-caps. I've been here a couple of times and as a California native, I've been a bit iffy to try the bars of the South. This place is fricken awesome though. Amazing selection of beer, great service, and good times. One warning: there always seems to be a large amount of hipsters. Ignore them though, they won't bite ya. read more

This place is awesome! Laid back atmosphere, 25 beers on draught, great service, helpful and knowledgeable bar tenders and the ramen was delicious! Highly recommended! Update: a year later we have tried ramen all over this country and are still obsessed with this place! A must try!! We still hold this place as our standard. read more

I am a mostly non-beer drinker but I enjoy Suttree's. For lots of reasons that likely have already been stated here. It is always quiet here, which is very important for me. They occasionally have a group of people playing their guitars, fiddle and what not but the atmosphere is still very sustainable for meaningful conversations. As a mostly non-beer drinker and thus a poor judge of good beer, I can only say that they seem to have a nice variety of beer on their menu. My friends all really like this place and is always a popular destination for hanging out. They carry at least one cider (which I drink) and they have started to regularly have a lambic on their menu (which I also enjoy). I know they have a rotating tap menu and have (mostly?) craft beer. I also tried their ramen recently and it was delicious!! They also have a variety of options on their menu, sourced from one of my favorite places (Holly's Eventful Dining). The staff has always been nice and the patio is pet friendly. What's not to like? read more

Good menu with a bunch of options. It's not a huge menu but you have 10-15 items to choose from. Great place to hang out and play some games. Thought the prices were a little too high for the food you get, so that's why I gave 4 instead of 5 Stars. I will be back to hang out and Olay some games and grab some food. read more

So I hear the ramen or pho is amazing! I have never tried it. The bartenders are quite knowledgeable about their beers. It's hard if you don't know a lot about high gravity beers. Their apps hit the spot. I look forward to the fall when I can sot out on the patio ad watch all the fun people walk down Gay Street read more

Suttree's High Gravity Tavern - Thanks to Suttrees for having our charity friendraiser tonight - Ramen Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Draft Belgian treats - sublime. Cool vibe, great music and friendly staff. Can't wait to visit again when back in town.

I have only been to Knoxville a few times and I know that it is a college town but this place felt a little more like home. Coming from Asheville, I can be a total beer snob and this place delivered with flying colors! They had a large selection of not only high gravity beers, but all styles of beers and a full bar. It's a little divey but not gross. The bartenders were very knowledgeable about what was on tap and were very helpful during our process of selecting a beer that we would have enjoyed. They even had some local Asheville brews on tap which of course, warmed my Asheville-loving heart. The late night crowd was a little rowdy... Someone fell and there was some "woo-ing" from frat boys but aside from that, it was chill and not crowded. We went on a Friday night and I was assured that the crowd on a weeknight is much more pleasurable. I didn't eat any of their food and in fact, I wasn't aware that they even had a food menu. Maybe they don't have a late night menu, maybe it wasn't presented to us. I am not sure. Apparently, there will be an arcade opening up inside the building and will be connected to the bar which will be great! I am looking forward to seeing this place grow and change during my future trips to Knoxville! read more

Went here for a date. We got ramen and some Pinot Noir. It has a great atmosphere and the food is awesome. They have arcade games and 2 bars (one you get your food at and one you can use while you play the games). The bartenders are very friendly and fun! You can even sample some of their drafts if you've never had draft beer before. My date and I will definitely return soon. But we wont be getting the wine (it comes in a can and it's VERY strong). They recommend a sake to go with your ramen and I'll probably take their advice. All in all: affordable, fun atmosphere, and nice staff. read more

Suttree's High Gravity Tavern - Ramen and wine - Ramen Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Oh Suttree's, you are never a disappoint. With the ever changing craft beer available you always have me deciding between five different beers. In turn, I stay to try each one without disappointment. The atmosphere and interior of Suttree's is rustic and inviting to try all the beers you've seen in craft beer stores, but had not enough money to buy six cases. They also serve small plates, I have enjoyed a 3 sampler with hummus and dip and loved it! Also try to stop by when in Knoxville. Conveniently located near the square, so park in the garage if walking about. read more

Suttree's High Gravity Tavern - Raman bowl - Ramen Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Awesome Gay St watering hole...especially if you love good (er, excuse me...GREAT) beers. The apps and ramen looked and smelled good, but I didn't get to try them this go around...hence the 4 stars for an incomplete sampling. Another anchor for the downtown drink/dining scene... read more

Five extra Stars for excellent beer, atmosphere and service. The bartenders are great and very knowledgable about their beer selection. I have yet to eaten at Suttrees but am looking forward to trying their Phó. I highly recommend Suttrees. read more

This place is my all-time favorite bar! Always a great selection of rare high gravity beers, constantly changing, and the Ramen is to die for! Next-door is a retro 80s arcade, so what else do you really need? Staff is always very friendly and everyone works their asses off! read more

As someone who LOVES beer, I'll have to say Suttrees is one of my favorite bars in Knoxville in terms of beer selection. The bartenders definitely know their shit without coming off as condescending. Pretty good menu as well. The pork belly sliders (buns of squeal) and the Ramen bowls are awesome. It can get a bit stuffy and crowded at times, but that's to be expected. Whether you're a beer snob or just someone looking to try some new beers. I would highly suggest Suttrees. read more

Had the Black Shin bowl there a couple of weeks ago, it was wonderful. Great food, friendly staff, and a fun location. Try it out, you will like it. read more

This is gonna be short and sweet... One word: Ramen Go for the beer and discover downtown's best kept secret... A ridiculously good bowl of Ramen complete with smoked pork or brisket. Great bar on cold winter nights. Too small patio and pretty dark inside, so not my first choice in the summer, but that ramen!!! Just can't get enough! read more

Usually I'm good with the hipster places. The bartender we had was a douche, the ramen is the 4/$1 kind with things added. Sat next to a girl who cheated on trivia night. While it's affordable (plenty of drunk people), environment decent (don't look too hard), and service (literally biting my tongue lightly) is ok. Unless you're a local, don't waste your night out in a great city. read more

Suttree's High Gravity Tavern - Note the boxes of cheap ramen and a bartender who I'll give the benefit of a bad night maybe??!! - Ramen Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

I love this place! Last night i tried the ramen for the very first time!!! Omg!!!! So delicious and an explosion of flavor! I've been here for beer before, but have never tried their food menu. I look forward to trying more of their food items. We had our food within minutes of ordering our food and it wasn't overly crowded on a Saturday night around dinner time. read more

This place is just fun! From old fashioned arcade games to a pool table, this is just a great place to hang out and get drinks and food! My husband and I tried the Black Shin Bowl and Matt's Spicy Ramen. Very flavorful broths! The ramen noodles are disappointing and are obviously he cheap Maruchan kind. That was sad, but the broth, meat, egg and pickled carrots made up for it! If I could give them just one piece of advice, I'd say...spend the extra $$ on fresh noodles! Other than that, I have no complaints. Suttree's is a fun, well decorated place to get away on the weekend and just hang out with a bunch of friends! read more

The best bar downtown, hands down. I hate to tell you about it because then you'll show up. The staff are the best and never fail to be friendly. They are also knowledgable of the beer and whiskey they serve. Always 30+ different beers on draft. It's all about the beer. The place isn't huge. It gets pretty packed. Now equipped with pinball too?! Please don't check out this amazing bar. read more
