The place wreaked of cigarette smoke. Of the 10 people in there, 8 of them were smoking. They advertised they were open until 2 AM but I was advised they were closing at midnight with last call at 11:45. Their tap system was down so they were only serving bottled beer. Based on the pictures, it looked like they had several beers on top. But from where I was sitting, there was only about 8 or so, and half of them were domestic. Not a place I'll ever go to again. read more

The Pint House - Good selection on tap, but they were down - Bars Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

worst experience I have ever had with a company. I was a new customer that pulled into the driveway and asked for a beer. The female bartender said "oh sorry all we can do is give you water" I asked "oh, why"? She responded with "because you were looking around outside before you walked in". I am at a loss for words for the amount of incompetence a company could possibly possess. Most pathetic excuse for a service I have ever experienced. I will never reccommend "The Pint House" to my worst enemies. Look on google maps for better alternatives. I give you guys 1/5. Thanks read more

Bartender-attentive. People to the left and right- cool af but not intrusive. Lighting and vibe- 10/10. I swear they put consommé in the marinara sauce and I am in love. read more

was looking for a quick bite to eat and I seen this hole in the wall local bar that looked interesting. It is easy to miss on merchants drive because there is not great signage or the best lighting. The have 2 sections of the bar; a smoking section which is s traditional hole in the wall bar and a non smoking section which is well light, appears cleaner, and does not smell like smoke. I had their philly cheese steak with nacho cheese and french fries. It was very good and on Wednesday it is $5 so the price was reasonable. The staff was as friendly as you would expect being a stranger in a neighborhood bar. I would stop back so it is worth a try. read more

We came here after Thursday kickball last week. I love the fact that they have a true non-smoking side of their bar completely closed off from the smoking side by windows and doors. They have great drink specials and prices, but also amazing food to go with it. Their spring rolls are the best in town. Also their pretzel and beer cheese is very good too. This is a great choice for great food, drinks, and fun! We will be back very soon! read more

This bar is terrible! Bar staff has to be the rudest chicks only one girl was pleasant she was very nice young African American girl. I actually heard the pregnant chick cuss a patron for leaving a small tip. The smoking is horrible I left the bar smelling like a cigarette factory. They do offer a non smoking area but I'll leave that DEAD zone to the yuppies. I'd suggest a beer from Walgreens and a night at home compared to this crap hole! read more

The Pint House - Bartender hasn't really moved from her corner since we sat down. And that was 30 minutes ago. - Bars Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Nice bar atmosphere, smoking & nonsmoking rooms, but I went there for food & it was the only place open after midnight (besides fast food) that still served food. Not sure how you can mess bar food, (the nachos were huge & good), but the spring rolls were bland (I think they were freezer burned) & my $9.99 bacon cheddar burger was a JTM patty. The staff was friendly & attentive, they are the only reason I left 2 stars. read more

Being new to the area we were looking for our "Cheers". We asked on our local Facebook page and this place was recommended. Walking in we weren't greeted right away and we second guessed our decision but shortly thereafter things took a turn for the better. We ordered the nachos and fried pickles and a few drinks. The food was good and lots of it. The bartenders began to interact with us and we met the GM. When we were leaving both bartenders asked us to return as did the GM and we will. Good food, good drinks, good prices and a few laughs. We'll be back read more

Pulling up the The Pint House, it looks sketchy and like a dump. It's in a former strip mall and the outside isn't overly appealing. This being said, looks are incredibly deceiving. The food is great, no question, and while it's a bar, the food is actually a huge reason why I stop by. The beer is very well priced, and there's over two dozen types handy. The bar is also stocked with some local liquors, which is pretty cool. The prices are pretty low, and there are daily specials which are worth it, for sure. The bar is kinda divided between two rooms. One is smoking and the other is non-smoking. The non-smoking is far less crowded most of the time, but both have ample seating. The non-smoking side often has some smoky scent to it, but it's not overly noticeable, nor a negative. If you're in the area, highly recommend. read more

I actually like the pint house. Drinks are cheap, shots are doubles (automatically), they have some video games and a jukebox. The food is hit or miss avoid the mozzarella sticks at all costs. I knocked off a star because even sitting on the non-smoking side you leave smelling like smoke. read more

The wings are Awesome! The wings can be fried or Smoked and there are many flavors to choose from! The beer is cold and many flavors of beer on tap plus they have wine, liquor and bottled beer. They have a smoking and Nonsmoking side. They have a full menu of other food items to. All of the food I have had there has been flavorful, cooked fresh and plentiful, I haven't gone hungry there that's for sure! These bar tenders in my humble opinion, Kimberly, Keith, Wll, Sky and Natasha are Awesome! Oh and they are fast and friendly!!! read more

Best spot in town!! Bartenders are all prompt, friendly, and easy on the eyes. Drinks are delicious, healthy pours and the venue makes you feel right at home. I specifically remember my bartender Crystal being wonderful, hard to find service like that nowadays read more

Loved my visit. I was in the non-smoking side and watched Germany v Italy on the T.V. - they found it for me!. Lovely beers and a friendly bar maid. Nothing else you could ask for. As I'm visiting - I may not be back, but you should try it out. Have the IPA and relax read more

The "non smoking" section was basically the second hand smoke section. Maybe they should get some fans/ventilation in there because just the doors don't cut it. We ordered to-go since we couldn't stand the smoke and they got our order wrong but we didn't wanna wait around for a second try. The food (wings, burgers & fries) was ok/mediocre contrary to the other glowing reviews. Unlikely to be back. read more

I came here on a really hot day and my car's ac is broken, so I had on a sleeveless shirt. I was immediately told I couldn't stay unless I put on a shirt with sleeves. I pointed to a woman at the bar wearing a tank top and said "she's not wearing sleeves." I was informed that men are required to wear sleeves, so I left. read more

I was visiting Knoxville and looking for a good place to have a couple beers, eat some bar food and watch some football. The pictures of the food and beer taps on the web looked great. My wife and I decided it would be a great place for our night. We pulled up and it's very dimly lit. We walked into the far right door and immediately were hit in the face with incredibly strong cigarette smoke. So we went into the next room, thinking we'd walked into a smoking section, but very quickly realized we'd just wondered into the smoking side. The football we wanted to see was just starting, so we sat at the bar and ordered a beer. Female bartender was very nice. No complaints. A second male bartender walks in and is hacking and spits a 'loogie' in the trash can directly in front of us. A few minutes later he steps to the side of the bar and blows his nose, but doesn't even attempt to wash his hands. Then begins to pour a beer for another customer. At this point, we were asked if we were going to order food. Based on the incredibly bad smell, trash laying all over the place and a bartender trying to share his germs with everyone, well, we thought it best to not order food there. We called for an Uber and went somewhere else to finish watching the game and eat. I don't recommend this bar! I gave it 1 star backseat there wasn't an option for a 0. I would never consider going back into this place. read more

Good place to hang with friends. Cheers like atmosphere where everyone knows your name. Mostly local and regular customers. Good burger and spring rolls, good beer selection. Jennifer and Katelyn provide great service. read more

Just like other reviews, tucked away in a small strip mall, we almost didn't find it. And we walked into the non-smoking side on a Saturday night and not another sole in there besides the bartender. Almost left. But it was clean, he said the food was good and had a bunch of beers on draft so we stayed. Happy we did! Shared the fried pickles and they were very good. I had the Buffalo chicken wrap and it was tasty and filling. Husband had the cheeseburger and it was huge and he really enjoyed it. Others came in after us and the smoking side was busy. Forgot to get bartender's name but he was very friendly. Try it if you are in the area. You will be pleasantly surprised! read more

A burger that had been precooked and left in warm water and then rewarmed was by best guess as to why my burger was inedible!!! Only one bite of chewy rubber meat substance and I stopped. Non smoking bartender was not interested in anyone that was not regular, which we will never be now. This doesn't even explain why he would ask 3 times if he could get us a box for my food that had one bite eaten and less than half eaten by my spouse. And he left it at our table to go back to chat with the wait staff that was having Wendy's at the bar on break!!! A sign to all those in the bar!! BUT Dunkel beer by Yee Haw was cold!! Thus the 1 star. read more

Kind of looks like a dump but is actually a good place to hang out. Food is shockingly good. Bbq sandwich, pork nachos, burger and egg rolls are great (don't get the buffalo sandwich - terrible). Star might be the smoked wings. Happy hour is cheap. Smoking and non smoking areas. Darts, pool. Lots of TV's. Not the cleanest bathrooms on the smoking side but the non smoking is pristine. Music is consistently good with them mostly playing classic rewind on Sirius. read more

*This review is for the craft house, which was recently added on to the point house. The craft house is non-smoking. That being said, This is one of my favorite places to go. The food is amazing, and the service is great since it's never too crowded. My favorite is the barnyard burger, and the BBQ tacos. Everything is super reasonable, and the bar is really nice with its new renovations. They also have great specials every night, like Monday night wing night, Tuesday night $2.50 pint night, etc. I'd highly recommend! read more

I went to The Pint House last night for the first time, simply because it was near my friend's house and they have darts and pool. It was one of the worst bar/restaurant experiences I've ever had. My friend and I ordered LITs. The bartender told us that they have a mix LIT for $4, well liquor for $6, and top shelf for $8. We took a moment to decide what route we were going to take. The bartender sweetened the deal by saying that if we got the $4 one, she would put extra liquor in it. We decided to give it a try. Not only did she not put extra liquor, I literally couldn't taste any alcohol at all. We took our drinks and went to the smoking part of the part and started playing pool. After a while we decided to get two more LITs. We said we wanted the cheap on and the bartender said ok and made us the drinks. I had $5 in cash and wanted to use that instead of a card. When the drinks were done, the bartender told us it was going to be $6 each. I asked my friend if she had $2, which she did, however it was in change. We counted the change and left it on the bar. When the bartender saw us doing this, I made some kind of silly joke and she just walked away without saying a word to us. At this point, another bartender came over and started counting the change. As she was doing so, she was shaking her head from side to side as if to say she disapproved of our payment method. I said with no sarcasm at all, "Hey man, I'm sorry we are partially paying in change." The bartender continued shaking her head and never once looked up at us or said anything. It just really rubbed me the wrong way. I've been in the service industry for 13 years, and I'm not one to complain about anything, usually. This time I said, "Yeah, customer service bro," or something like that. I also at one point told her she was being rude and told her why. She had a horrible attitude the entire time. After an exchange in which I really don't remember what was said (not a lot at all), she yelled down the bar from the cash register, "Well you can just never come back then." I was like, "No, but for real. I most definitely won't." So my friend and I walked back to the pool table and I was just upset that I had just been told that by an employee when I wasn't even being ridiculous or out of line at all. I grabbed a kitchen worker and asked to speak to a manager. He led me outside to a man that was chilling with a lady and a dog. I explained the situation very calmly and to paraphrase what he said, "Aw man, that's not cool. Well, look, come back again. We want you to come back." I was just like, "That's it? Nothing is going to be done to remedy this?" and the manager said, "I mean, I'm not going to fire her." I assured him I wasn't trying to get her fired. I just assumed that like they would buy us a drink or comp the last one we bought. Again, I pretty much never ask for any kind of assistance from a manager at a restaurant. I'm just not the complaining type usually, and if I do complain, it's because something just crazy happened. I wanted to feel like I mattered as a customer. I did not. I came back in and told my friend what the manager said. She went out to speak to him as well, saying that The Pint House was her favorite local place to go, but was upset that when she brought her friend there, we were treated so poorly. Another manager that was on duty asked me what had happened and I repeated myself. This manager seemed to care that his bartender was so rude. He said he was going to let her know it wasn't cool to say things like that to customers. So some time went by, and we started talking to random people that were outside smoking. Eventually we decided to play another game of pool against an employee of the bar and a regular. When we came in, the bartender we had an issue with walked over to where we were and started hanging on the people we about to play with. My friend told her to just go back behind the bar and that she wouldn't be making our drinks and blah blah blah. The bartender responded by yelling at acting like she was going to get in my face and was pointing her finger at me. At this point some other bartender that we had actually just told was doing a great job walked over and began yelling and pointing, threatening to "beat (my friend's) ass," and whatever else she was saying. She was making a scene. The on-duty manager at this point came over to us and told us we "were done" and to get out. I was like, are you for real right now? Is this how you let your bartenders treat your guests? My friend and I couldn't believe what was happening. We had been just laughing and minding our own business. I've never in my life been kicked out of a bar. As I was at the door trying to calmly explain what was going on, another bartender (I'm assuming..?) with purple hair walked through the door and put her hands on my arms and pushed me, cussing at me. She also threatened to fight us. We left and will NEVER go back. read more

Good food, but terrible service. We had it delivered by BiteSquad and they forgot some of our food. BiteSquad then tried and tried to contact them so we could still get our food, and The Pint House refused to answer the request. I don't think I would ever go back here. read more

The place smells like smoke... even the non-smoking side. The atmosphere is like a typical bar, which is pretty ugly in the middle of the day. The place was empty at 12 noon on a Saturday. But the burgers and fries were surprisingly good. And one of the owners came and talked to us and he seemed like a really nice guy. read more

The atmosphere was good for about the first 30 seconds. I walked in with my husband and a friend who happened to be a women. There was a open table close to the door and bar. There were 2 bartenders and what looked like a manager. We sat at the table for over 5 mins so my husband got up and walked to the bar to order. He sat at the bar for almost 10 mins and was ignored by 3 people behind the bar. We just left and will never be back. Now the reason why i think we did not get service was because they are very prejudice and judge books by the cover. This was an awful experience. read more

Coal Creek BBQ is awesome! Ribs bacon smoked bologna are all outstanding! And the sides are better than home-made!

This is a freat neighborhood pub excecpt for elitist non- smokers who think they should be inpoweered to decide for smokers and non-smokers on both sides of the glass. A vet neighborhood pub, if you can't stand two or more viewpoints, go to an uptown or westown politically correct bar where other people can think for you... D Simpson, Knoxville read more

Great ribs. No service, bartender, no wait service, if you want anything don't plan on him coming to you.

Okay, before anybody tries to say "tip better" or "if you dont have the money dont tip" let me clarify. Three fourths of the drinks we bought was not only during happy hour but there were less then 15 people in the smoking section of the bar. It was so dead that she was smoking on the side and conversing with various customers playing music on her phone. We continued to play music on the jukebox which was metal and hard rock and she verbally said "this music sucks". With that being said their was a certain waitress that worked a shift to that Im guessing relieved her and served us less than 3 beers while we was there. Our tab was 45 dollars. When I told the beginning waitress "I do not want ANYTHING charged on my debit card" she failed to mention there was a 10.00 charge just in case it was a fake/bunked card. That was my tip. The bartender that I mentioned before that had just started her shift was the one I cashed out my tab to. Without verbal clarification that 10.00 was charged to my card(they tried to state that happened at every bar which clearly is untrue) all I had was 3 dollars to give. She continued to cash me out and slammed the money on the table and said "it's okay, keep it."Keep in mind I was not Informed the amount of money that was going to be taken off my card because for one, I use cash more then my card, and two, I AM NOT A REGULAR AT THAT BAR. There was two individuals that was clearly informed of the "bad" tip I gave. One came up to me (female), offered me a shot, and then proceeded to mention my action that was clearly said by the bartender and took the shot she "offered me" and mentioned the bartenders version of my action and walked off saying "dont come to the bar if you cant tip".. then another guy mentioned it as well, which is clearly an invasion of privacy. An already long story short, dont come to this bar. People aren't considerate (especially the few regulars I dealt with) and that certain bartender likes to display personal iformation, which made my father and i look like a bunch of non-tipping degernates, and that's not what we are. read more
