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! There are plenty of TVs and an outdoor area that has TVs! They have a good selection of beers, however, they only have chips - so there is no real meals. It is definitely a must try!

Wanna go there? I just don't have anybody to go with at the moment. They said not till this weekend.read more

People left upstairs and went back down due to the lack of service. Again, not our guys fault. Seems they may be a little short staffed today. Half moon cheese sticks were cooked very good. Not overly done and the cheese was stringy to perfection. I love wings. Bone in or not, but preferably bone in. These were cooked well and seasoned perfectly! My wife had the tenders and sidewinder fries. Both were really good. I tried both as well. Breeding on the tenders was crunchy but not overly cooked. Sidewinder fries are a definite must try. They are like steak fries but curly. Just the right blend of potato and crunch. Also tried some local brewery beer. It was called Odd story golden ale. Fresh with no bitter bite to it. Not hoppy but clean finish. A pleasant surprise. I added photos of everything we tried today! Fairly reasonable in price, friendly service, great food and the decor is older and almost rustic which I enjoy. If you like that kind of "dive bar" feel with great service this is the place to go. Marcus, for a new general manager and new to town you are a rockstar sir! Best of luck to you! Dude was also our waiter which is pretty awesome. If you have time to swing downtown, check out the Pickle Barrel Restaurant. You will not be disappointed. If it wasn't for the slower service e, strictly due to being a bit overwhelmed with all the tables our waiter had; this place could have easily been a 5 star. If I could give a 4.5 I definitely would have. Thanks for a great late afternoon meal! We enjoyed it!

This latest trip, we got a ramen and it wasn't our favorite - spiciness that wasn't noted on the menu was really the only flavor. But the crab Rangoon were great, as was the beer selection! The vibe is killer, with tons of local flavor in stickers and ads all over the walls and ceilings. The staff is super friendly and willing to help you find a drink you'll enjoy. We played some board games the last time we were there and it just really added to the laid back nature.
