    HOLY MOO COW!!!!
    Tracy M.

    This was an insanely good drink! The bartender was spot on when making it from a special request off the fly. I swear there's absolutely not anything that you ask for that these ladies can't make. Not only that, they make it with a smile! CHEERS to Tulips for always maintaining a well stocked bar and amazing staff!

    Food-Cuban sandwich was good and close to the kind you can get in Florida. Other places I've been in the Tennessee area have served their Cubans with a pork chop on it. This sandwich has ham, sliced pork, pickles, cheese, Mayo, and mustard. It was good. The pub hamburger with cheese was large and filling but the bun was stale. I had to peel most of the bread off. I'm sure they would have replaced it if I had asked. I like my cheeseburgers extra cheesy. This was not. So next time I will ask for double cheese. The fries were cooked perfectly. I would like to see them offer a little spice of Cajun type seasoning on the fries but otherwise they were great. Atmosphere-meh looks like something Jon Taffer could renovate. Upon walking into the side door closest to the parking lot, you feel as if you're walking in a back door and as if it's the wrong door but we were greeted with a smiling waitress who was sweet. The women's bathroom sink tile is broken off and in need of repair. It is a large space. I wasn't super impressed with the interior but it has the basics: bar tables, a pool table, televisions, liquor, dart boards and bar decor. This place has A LOT of options for bottled hot sauce, looked like over 30 different bottles. There are 7 televisions to watch from different angles. This is a place where the locals go to eat and drink. It looked as if they are undergoing some remodeling or repairs to the outdoor area. (06/16/2021) Overall, decent. I will try it again. I would have given 4 1/2 stars because the hamburger meat was a little pink even though I asked for well done, they need a larger slice of cheese on the burger, and they really need to update the bathrooms but I don't know the history of the place. Perhaps they just bought it and haven't had a chance to update it. And the cheese thing is a personal choice. Some people probably like just one slice. Classic country music played in the background like Hank Williams, Jr. The menu is extensive!

    Serve little bottles of wine so you don't get skunky wine

    Tulips is one of my go to spots. Great bar food with a daily food and drink special. This is in no way healthy food, but if you are wanting great fried mushrooms this is the spot. They have a biker night every Friday night with lots of specials. Check out the Thursday Prime Rib night with 2 sides for $13.95 or something close to that. The staff is excellent which adds to the fun factor. Also, kids can come and eat off the kids menu and they love dogs on the patio Favorite JC bar by far.

    I was in the area and was looking for a different place to eat. I found Tulips and have never seen this place before. The reviews seemed really good so I decided to check it out. Great little hole in the wall bar with descent food. I tried the French Dip and it was good. The quality and portion size met my needs and the service was good. The fries were also really good. Cooked perfectly. It was in the middle of the day and a little slow. In talking with the bartender, it gets going at night. Seemed like a good time.

    The food here is reasonably priced and good. Drinks are not to high but it's sometimes a hassle to get served.

    Lads, this gaff absolutely slaps…read more Not jokin'--we're talkin' top-tier stuff here. Picture it: miserable Saturday, wind goin' sideways, whole day lookin' like it needs a good talkin' to. Me and the missus gets blown into this pub like two gobshites lookin' a shelter and a feed. And ... what a shout! I ordered the corned beef and cabbage, and I swear on me Ma's good china, it was filthy good. Fork went through it like it owed me money. Juicy, melty, little ribbons of fat runnin' through it like it was showin' off. The cabbage? Deadly. The mash? Lads... the mash tasted like an angel got notions and said "ah go on, I'll make this one myself." Bit of garlic, bit of peel, bit of magic. I nearly cried. We're not from Johnson City, so it might be a hot minute before we're back, but believe me--if I'm anywhere within sniffin' distance of this town again, I'll be leggin' it back to this place like a man late for mass. Ciaran, our server, was sound as a pound--quick, chatty, callin' us "friends" like he was adoptin' us. Man deserves a raise and a parade. The place is set up for tunes later on, loads of seats, loos clean enough to perform surgery in--madness. Prices? Couldn't argue with 'em even if I wanted to. The missus got fish and chips for eighteen quid, mine was twenty-one. Soft drinks only two quid, and a rake of beers and cocktails if you're feelin' spicy. Absolutely recommend this spot to slake the thirst and sate the hunger--ah now, that's the kind of night that'd put manners on ya.

As the evening goes on, though, the music gets much louder and the atmosphere shifts into more of a nightlife vibe. It felt like a mix between a local pub and a late-night hangout, with people enjoying drinks and making the most of the evening. Definitely added a bit of character to Johnson City's downtown scene.

When did it become a crime to be a foreigner & why would anyone want to walk around with their passport just to visit a college bar ? It was an extremely tacky and disappointing experience especially since I loved tiptons when I was a college student at ETSU. I will not fight to spend my hard earned money anywhere therefore I will not be visiting a bar that discriminates against my nationality and identification. Very unwelcoming and disheartening... so much for supporting local businesses. I am a world traveler and have NEVER being denied entry anywhere else in the world. Pathetic.

    I was in Kingsport for a long weekend and found out there would be a live Rocky Horror performance…read moreat Capone's in JC while I was visiting. Naturally I bought a ticket weeks in advance and got out my "Janet" costume. Rocky Horror is my not so secret secret love and I've been to dozens and dozens of performances throughout the southeast and in the UK. A girlfriend joined me and we met up at Capone's. The bar itself was really beautiful. A wall of booths lined the left and the substantial bar was parallel. The bouncers checked us in online and we got our wristbands with no issue. Drinks were up first and as I had a 30 minute drive back to Kingsport, I limited myself to one, but it was really good! Top shelf gin and soda with extra lime (to cover up the gin flavor - haha!) We moved beyond the bar into the second lower level space which was a mini/performance venue. The kind I frequented in high school and college (before kids, really...) and we staked out a place at the front so we could see the whole thing. Partially because I freaking love Rocky Horror and partially because my girlfriend is super petite and wouldn't be able to see over anyone's head if we didn't. I was delighted that there was an opening band. Having no idea what to expect I thought it was a bonus. However the bigger surprise was that the opening band was part of the Rocky cast! It ended up being a fantastic musical rendering of the movie and musicals I have seen before, complete with costumes and a word for word script recitation along with all musical numbers. We were blown away. I wish I could have gone back again for a chill evening at the bar, but I give it my full approval. The drinks were good, the aesthetic is really sumptuous and pretty, the restrooms were clean and the show was super fun!!! I'll make it back next time I'm in Kingsport or JC.

One of her friends was trying to help her, and the owner grabbed her by the arm so she could not get her friend. My friend pressed charges because she has a video of the incident.
