Things To Do
Wild Love Bakehouse
Ask the Matron of Honor- this place is the best! Wild Love Bakehouse is the perfect spot to grab a croissant and hot coffee.
Pour Taproom: Knoxville
This is where Taylor and I met! Definitely recommend if you're interested in trying a variety of local brews or are traveling with a group with varied tastes.
Tern Club
The drinks at Tern Club look like something a tourist in a Hawaiian shirt would order, so naturally, we love it here. And the bill comes in an old-school romance novel... so there's that. Bonus Tip: Order "The Blue Hawaiian" it's not on the menu, but it is so good!
Scruffy City Hall
One of Taylor's recommendations! If you're looking for a casual spot to grab a pint, Scruffy is the place.
Kefi
Kefi holds a spot near and dear to the Bride's heart and is always the place she takes friends from out of town. 10/10 would recommend trying one of their on-tap cocktails.
Five Thirty Lounge
The Five Thirty Lounge is the best place to take in spectacular views of downtown Knoxville and the Smoky Mountains from a glamorous indoor bar.
Radius Rooftop Lounge
Another amazing rooftop bar, the Radius Rooftop Lounge is a big hit among locals and travelers alike, thanks to its expansive wraparound views and well-crafted libations.
Peter Kern Library
Maybe you’ve heard of it... tucked inside of the historic Kern Building, behind the Oliver Hotel lobby, sits this gem of a speakeasy, The Peter Kern Library. Just look for the red light in the alleyway and be sure to have the password ready. (You can find the four-digit password on their Facebook page.)
Downtown Grill & Brewery
Another excellent pick by Taylor! If you want a casual dining experience in a beautiful, pub-style restaurant, we recommend visiting DGB.
El Chico
Our Memphis family knows all about El Chico! If you happen to visit, you must order Momma's Mexican Apple Pie. Trust us on this one.
A Dopo Sourdough Pizza
Authentic Italian-style pizza + gelato served in a cozy atmosphere. Need we say more?
Emilia
Emilia's is the most romantic spot in town with decadent wines and incredible pasta dishes. We recommend ordering the warm Paysan Focaccia + Ricotta for your Contorni.
Cruze Farm Ice Cream
Cruze Farms has the best ice cream on this planet and is where we got dessert on our first date! We recommend the sweet cream ice cream with honey drizzled on top.
