What to do
Market Square
Market Square is our favorite place to visit in Downtown Knoxville, especially on Saturdays for the Farmers Market. It is a mix of national chains, like Urban Outfitters and Juice Bar, and some Knoxville gems, like Tomato Head and Cafe 4. Pop into The Casual Pint for a craft beer, head to Stock and Barrel for a delicious burger, or stop in Coffee and Chocolate for a pick-me-up.
Downtown
Just walk down Gay Street to find something yummy to eat. Some of our personal favorites are Nama Sushi Bar, The French Market Creperie, Babalu Tapas & Tacos, Suttree's High Gravity Tavern, and Coolato Gelato. It seems every time we visit, there's a new downtown restaurant to try. If you're in the mood for a movie, the Regal Cinemas is right in the middle of downtown.
University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Here's to you, ole Tennessee, our alma mater true!
Old City
Favorite places in the Old City: OliBea, The Crown & Goose, Barley's, and Old City Java.
Ijams Nature Center
If you want some nature right in the city!
Womens Basketball Hall of Fame
If you like basketball then you can’t miss the chance to pay homage to some of the basketball greats at the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame.
Peter Kern Library
A "speakeasy" on the side of the Oliver Hotel. It's very cozy, and a great place to get a craft cocktail named after your favorite literature. It is small, so there may be a wait!
