THis one has a story behind it. Got invited to a drum circle in Gatrlinburg by my girlfriend's son…read more We went out that morning to see Cades Cover (big mistake - it was Memorial Day) and swung back around through Townsend (stopped at Mountain Man to have a craft brew on the way). Knowing we were going up to the arts district, I looked for a place to meet them before the circle and saw there was a Celtic Pub. Only that was the spot where the drum circle was. And, to my surprise, it is the same owner as the Fox & Parrot Tavern in Gatlinburg, one of my favorite English pubs (and currently closed do to a feud with the US government - hope that gets fixed). The place is definitely British country feeling. Very nice tap list, including both local brews and standard UK brews. Heavy wood feeling with a very nice deck outside, which includes some spots under cover (which was important as it rained on the circle and people had to duck in). There is nothing elegant about the place or the food. But that is its charm. The fish & chips were on point, esp. with the malt vinegar. Shepherd's Pie a bit salty for my tastes, but not to the salt lick level. Also came with chips. As for the drum circle, if you are reading this in June 2026, that is every Monday at 6-8 PM through the end of the month. I got some great drone footage of the circle, which I added to this review.

Probably one of my favorite restaurants in the area, Rampant Lion is clearly a family-run business…read morethat focuses on making social connections over quick get-food-and-go. It's pretty cool. I would never come here if I was in a hurry, but if you have 2+ hours to eat and want good food in a storied place with staff who will treat you like friends, you're going to love the Rampant Lion. NOTES: -In rural TN, it should not surprise you, but be aware that they have Trump displays in the restaurant. -The restrooms are single stall and accessed from outdoor. They're indoor restrooms - just the door to access them is on the outside. (No porta potties) They're solidly clean - just make sure to pack clothing that works for the temperature outside because you might be dipping outside a few times. -Parking lot is small and gravel. Relatively easy to get in and out of though. -Amazing gin selection with staff that *clearly* knows their gins. -Adorable photos of the owners on slideshow of their trip to Europe on the wall. It's adorably and clearly a couple who was on a good vacation. We've had a good chunk of their menu at this point. Pretzels: Delicious beer chese AND delicious pretzels. Quite a bit of food with this too. Bread, Oil, & Vinegar: Wasn't super fond of this one. A ton of oil in a bowl made it hard to get the right oil-to-vinegar ratio. Chicken Pie: Deliciously breaded with super-tasty french fries too. Served piping hot, so it took a bit to be able to eat it without burning myself but a wait well-made. Reuben: Partner absolutely loved it and said the bread was the absolute perfect consistency. SO much meat in there too (though he said it could use a bit of extra dressing). Bubbles and Squeak: Delicious. Just delicious. Zero notes, you should eat it. Beanie Weenies: Home-made right in the restaurant! My favorite thing on the menu. Super savory, semi-healthy (beans...at least?), and served super warm. Comfort food at its finest. Menu in-restaurant was different than online one on a few things.

After a quick Yelp search for cocktails brought up a speakeasy, we knew we had to come here. Who doesn't love a little entrance intrigue and password hijinks when in search of a cocktail? We strolled up to a cute little coffee spot where a gentleman met us, warned us they smoke cocktails inside (just in case you're not ok with that) and then led us through a freezer (not actually a freezer but a secret door) that brought us back to a chic little cocktail bar in the back. The cocktails? Amazing. Truly stunning. The service? Pitch perfect. The atmosphere? Chic while still being comfortable. Know you might have to stand a short while. The spot is small, they have 3-4 standing tables where they have you stand until there's an available table. We probably stood a total of 4-5 minutes on a Saturday night in April. I wish I lived closer. This would absolutely be a regular stop. Get to it.

We were seated in a little sunroom type area next to a big window. We ordered drinks-I got a Kentucky Mule and my husband got an old fashioned. Both were really good. We got the watermelon Tataki for an appetizer. I'm not sure I've ever had anything like it before! It was sweet and the goat cheese and drizzle gave it a nice balance with the cashew providing a nice crunch. I got the Chicken Caprese for my entree. The chicken was well seasoned and the risotto had a nice sweetness. The plate came with two asparagus and a few baby carrots. It was a well balanced plate. My husband's braised short ribs came in an amazing sauce. Service was top notch with our server and a manager stopping by a few times to check in and make sure we didn't need anything. Free parking in their lot just 7 minutes from the Gatlinburg Main Street.

I laughed when we saw the sign that says "Best Wings in the Universe". But I can attest that they are the best wings we have ever had. We ordered the Cajun Dry Rub, Sweet Chili Lime, and Honey Barbecue wings. The dry rub was my favorite. Neither the Cajun nor the Sweet Chile Lime were spicy but they were loaded with flavor. The wings are chargrilled and they were very tender and bigger than most places. I normally don't like barbecue wings but the BBQ sauce on these was great tasting. The service was excellent. The server and others would check in on us to make sure everything was ok. The place is small and upstairs in a covered open air space so you could experience the vibe outside. It is on the Main Street outside of Margaritaville. We will be back!!

I ordered the Texas Pork Nachos appetizer as my main meal. This consisted of Tortilla Chips, Pulled Pork, Black Beans, Cheddar & Jack Cheeses, Jalapeños, Pico de Gallo, BBQ Sour Cream. This dish was actually very tasty. I think the only thing missing is a bowl of salsa. It had great flavor and nice pulled pork in the dish. I really enjoyed the environment and cute tropical island scenery. I also had the wings which was alittle lackluster and small. The shrimp and chef salad were both tasty and fresh. I would say if you're staying at the hotel, give this place a try if you don't want to leave your hotel and too lazy to walk and grab your car and deal with the island traffic.
