Came in and sat in a booth. Bartender never engaged us, told us to order at the bar, nothing. We were ghosts to her. She was more interested in talking to regulars then engaging new customers. read more

Love this place so much! We come a few times a month when we can and Shelby is the best bartender around!

You know what? I know. I didn't check in as I was disconnected over the weekend, but I definitely came here and I have pictures to prove that I was here! This place was awesome. I came here on a Sunday to watch my Panthers play against the Titans and was this place an amazing spot to watch it. The great beers that are on tap and great prices and friendly atmosphere made this place worth it for me. I think this place is definitely going to be on my go to bars if I ever just want to chill and hang out. Twisted Mike's is definitely low-key. It's neatly tucked behind a Hardee's and you'll definitely drive by it if you're not looking for it. I loved the atmosphere. Talked to the Bar tender Casey until he left and a couple other people that go there. I decided to come here over Carolina Ale House as I didn't want a crazy crowd and all that extra stuff. I ordered not only their beer but their chili cheese dog as well as their 1/3 cheese burger. What did I think? I wish that their cheese burger had some lettuce on it, but hey I can't have everything right? I'll take the beer over it though, that coffee milk stout that they have on tap right now was so bomb! Anyways, this place will definitely be on my list if I want to go to a bar. I just have to make sure they have the games I want to watch on tv. One thing to note, they don't have the NFL package this year (2015-2016). Happy Hour is my shit here. $3 crafts?! $2 domestics. But $3 CRAFTS?! WHAT? Unheard of. This is definitely my place now as far as bars goes. I'll be back for more. read more

Came here on a tinder date for some munchies and ordered the honey bbq wings and teriyaki chicken bites. I haven't had wings in so many years and this really hit the spot. Their honey bbq sauce was so addicting! He knew I loved it. The food took longer than expected - they bake it instead of frying. Staff were friendly and we got free t-shirts as well! I didn't try any of their drinks. read more

This is a small little bar but it's nice, clean and fun. I have been here twice, once for comedy the other for Live Trivia. I really liked the trivia. They pack em' in for this on Wednesday night so arrive early to get a seat. They have a menu of quick food. We got the potato wedges as we wasn't really hungry, they were ok.. Got the cookies last time we were here and they were burnt, took 3 tries. One cook, one oven the waitress told us. Other then that, this place is a good place to hang out and have fun. Fun bar-- Friendly people... If your not from here and don't have anyone to talk too, you will coming here.... read more

Great little dive bar! This place used to be called Ale House (I can think of at least 5 names this place has been in the last 15 years). They have a full bar and friendly bartenders. It is a non-smoking bar, which seems to be rare in the late night scene. They close at 1:00 so they aren't open as late as some bars around town. They serve food like wings, potato wedges, or pretzels, etc. They also have a good size patio where you can get some fresh air. They have corn hole set up outside. They usually have fun entertainment too, like karaoke but I'm not sure what nights they do that on. If you are craving a cold one then wander in here as it is tucked behind the Hardee's off Kingston Pike in a small little shopping center in West Hills. I know you will appreciate its charm as much as I do. Check out their Happy Hour specials too! Cheers & Enjoy! read more

This is a friendly little neighborhood bar with a decent selection of beer and liquor. The place is super clean and the staff is the nicest in town. They all know your name and your drink after just a couple of visits. They have a great food menu and everything I've tried off of it has been fantastic and high quality. The bar is non-smoking on the inside but has a very nice patio outside for smoking. They usually have games set up for people to play as well. They usually have some sort of entertainment be it live music, comedy, or poker depending on the night. Give it a shot. It's the best bar out west and is definitely the most welcoming and friendly bar in the city. read more

I've been here twice, both times for The Left Hand Comedy Open Mic at 9 pm. No cover for the show, no minimum drink purchase and if you're a comic, the house will give you one draft beer on the house. This is a cool little spot, I would describe it as somewhere between a dive and sports bar, youngish crowd for the most part, super friendly and efficient bar tender, Lauren, who takes good care of you. They do have food and always have great drink specials, I've been able to get Sierra Nevada Pale Ale bottles for three bucks which can't be beat. They have a patio too if you wanna step out and have a smoke. Nice place to watch a game, they draw a pretty good crowd for comedy too which is cool. I'll definitely be returning to this place in the future! read more

We tried the pizza and breadsticks over the weekend. There was too much garlic and grease, the crust had a freezer-burnt/stale taste. The cheese and chicken were not too bad. read more

I've been here twice now, once on Poker Night and then again on a Saturday. And I have to admit, I went in on Saturday hoping for the Poker Night feeling, but did not get it, and turned around and left. Strobing lights and rap will make me turn tail and run almost every time I'm looking for a chill night. I would give this place a 3 and wander off in hopes of better times elsewhere, but I want to head back for pint night on Monday! So a 4 for now, because I'm coming back, and here's to a future Monday, you skitzo little bar! read more

Great local bar ... reminds me so much of a corner bar back home in detroit ... poker tournaments on Sunday monday and Tuesday nights trivia of theres enough customers on Wednesday karaoke on Thursdays live music on some fridays and club music Friday and Saturday starting around 10 ... over all great little bar and the owners are here every weekend to get the crowd going ... awesome bartenders and food read more

We come here on Wednesdays for pizza and triva. It's usually a pretty good time. The pizza is really good for a small divey bar. Worth the wait. One of the things I look forward to each week.... some crispy pizza, a few beers, and getting beat at trivia. Because it's a small place when it gets busy it gets loud and drinks/service can be hard to come by. The bar tenders are really good at remembering their regulars names and orders though. I've definitely had nights when I wanted another drink or two at the end and just couldn't get anyone's attention. So that's why I took off one star. Everything starts out great then tapers off to just ok. read more

I am visiting Knoxville... I am originally from Houston, Texas... yeehaw!!! Thursday night I went to Karaoke and absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED this place!!!

If you want an AWESOME Karaoke experience...check this bar out on a Thursday! read more

Twisted Mike's Tap Room - Best Bar in Knoxville TN for Fun - Sports Bars Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Great local bar, friendly bartenders, happy hour was excellent...would definitely come back next time I'm in Knoxville!

Perfect dive bar. Non-smoking. Small neighborhood hangout. Good food, good beer and liquor selection, good prices. The best thing about this bar is the waitress. Gabby is a fantastic waitress/bartender. She should open a waitress/bartender training school. She was on top of everything, anticipating everyone's needs. If you smoke, you have to step out onto the patio. My wife and I really like this place. read more

Totally awesome local bar...great service, cold beverages, and perfect bartenders, especially Casey and Gabby...Hootie Hoo! A must to check out read more

Bob B. Twisted Mikes is a true 'find'. It's the 'Cheers' of West Knoxville where everybody knows your name and is super friendly. The bartenders are the best, drinks are generous, food is great. Plus there's music, poker, karaoke, lots going on mid evenings. I've made this my 'home away from home'. read more

1. They have no food. 2) locals bar but not a bar persons s bar at all. Ok beers on tap but it's like a " no experience". Much better places to try. Not sure how they got to be #4. Must be a rigged system. I will say that if you like their nightly crowd pleasers like Texas Hold em or singing g you might fit in but otherwise a nothing read more

Great little bar. I only wish I lived closer so I could visit more often. Clean and maintained. Great selection of beer. Outside patio.

We went Friday night. Wow, what a great place! The owner was so friendly and you could tell he really cared about the clientele. It was an upscale bar with great ambiance, clean bathroom, good drinks, and great music.. what else could you ask for?? read more

The best karaoke ever on Thursday nights! The karaoke guy is an amazing singer. His rendition of Freddy Mercury's " Find me somebody to love" is incredible. I am still singing it in my mind today. The people that hang out there are very friendly. This is a must go to bar if you are in the area. read more

Me and the wife went there on a saturday night 02/08/14. Sat at the bar waited 10 mins before even one of the three bartenders actually said a word to us. They just kept washing and drying glasses; would just look at us then start talking to each other. Then we waited another 15 mins before leaving. We felt very uncomfortable like we were out of place and nobody in the bar wanted us there. read more
