There wasn't live entertainment, just karaoke, which is offered in many places downtown for no cover. It was also not posted which, from my experience in Atlanta, they always post that there is a cover outside. Just feels scummy. It's a very average bar that offers literally nothing special. There is no great view, the service is the same as any bar, it doesn't even have a nice decor; there is no reason to be charging an entrance fee. Enjoyed the visit but will not return.

We moved on to the Filet for dinner and it was well prepared; not an amazing filet (not as tender as I have had) but a good steak for the money.

Upstairs they had quite a line dancing event going on and we heard the stomping above us. There were a lot of folks there for line dancing, then, later, for the live music. Our waitress was good and checked on us often. Nothing but positive things to say about the overall experience.

The drinks are equally impressive, with a well-curated cocktail list and bartenders who clearly know their craft. What really sets The Reserve apart is the atmosphere.

It combines quality, energy, and service in a way few places can.

It's definitely got a vibe all its own & I loved it but won't be everyone's cup of tea;) & that's part of its charm.

But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints. All in all, not an earthshaking experience, but a place I'd be willing to go back to. 3.5 stars.

One truly remembers a place this wonderful. Located in beautiful quaint Jonesboro, there are many uniques shops and restaurants. Tennessee Hills offers tastings. The personnel are knowledgeable and friendly. We have had some of the best conversations with the staff and customers. This time we had lunch at the cafe next door. Fantastic food choices the Reuben and spicy chicken sandwiches get my highest recommendation. They offer a great number of mixed drinks made with their craft distilled spirits. Several Sunday football games were on the TVs in the cafe. The mood was festive in the cafe. Tennessee Hills has a new location in Bristol too! We will be back again and again!

We were checking out the city of Jonesborough, Tennessee and drove into the historic downtown area…read more We found street parking that made it easy to walk and explore. From our parking spot, we spotted Tennessee Hills Distillery and knew we needed to check it out. The Tennessee Hills Distillery opened in the historic Salt House of Jonesborough in 2016. We were immediately impressed with the downtown area of Jonesborough and the salt house in which Tennessee Hills Distillery is located. The building itself is amazing and is something that we would love to have as our own. We are drawn to historic commercial buildings that are being preserved and renovated to house businesses and/or homes. After walking inside, we were even more impressed. They were offering complimentary tastings and we decided to participate. We thought the pineapple upside down cake rum was delicious. They have a wide selection of liquor ranging from whiskey, flavored whiskey, rum, flavored rum, gin and vodka. They also have some nice SWAG for purchase and unique gift items. We purchased a bottle of their Pineapple Upside Down Cake Rum to give to our good friends. Overall, this was a great visit and we highly recommend to others.

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience. Definitely worth the wait!

This restaurant is like a mix of appalachia, middle eastern cuisine, and european techniques. The corn dogs were good, but not the table's favorite. Everyone raved the fresh ricotta with the roasted currants and pine nuts on fresh bread. The mushroom terrine was my mom's favorite dish of the night. The beef keema curry was delicious and a perfectly hearty winter meal. I loved the lamb hand pie, and the puff pastry was perfect and the filling had lovely warm spices. The beef tartare was different from what you may expect, but it was really good when you had a bite of everything, especially the sourdough chips. The ambiance could be best described as a hipster hunting lounge. It felt clean, the chairs were comfortable. Our server was really sweet and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. I look forward to coming back and seeing what's new!

Great thought and time was put into the flavor profiles and presentation of these drinks. The glasses, ice, garnish - all on point. Superior! We ordered 5 different drinks. One was called Girl Dinner which was fabulous. Also had an Old Fashion, Manhattan, and a cognac/mead drink that I can't remember the name. All were tasty. Well executed. Flavor profiles were great. We did order the dip smaller and boy was that tasty too. The feta dip was amazing. The pitas were warm and nice crusty bread for dipping. The price is beyond reasonable for the portion and quality. We would have stayed all day here if we could. This place is awesome. Highly recommend. Once you go, you will be back. You will also sing like a canary (or pigeon) to let everyone know. Just fantastic.
