Nearby Food Scene
Don't want to stray too far? Here's what's good nearby.
This place is a dive, so don't expect ambience. What it lacks in atmosphere, though, it makes up for in flavor. You're sure to enjoy this AUTHENTIC Mexican food and at reasonable prices. Fun Fact: many locals refer to this restaurant as "taco truck" because that's how it originally began. They now own three taco trucks and have two storefront locations all over town.

Bars and Nightlife
Please note: this is a SMOKING establishment. Locals love Preservation Pub (or Pres Pub, if you're in the know) and you're sure to love it too. It's a whole vibe. Dark, moody, smoky, full of the most colorful of characters... you can enjoy a drink and some fantastic live music most nights of the week. The second floor is non-smoking (and often has it's own live music) and there is a fabulous rooftop bar on the third floor. The building is quite old, so you will need to be able to climb several flights of stairs to enjoy a beautiful Knoxville night overlooking historic Market Square.
