I had my doubts about this place when I first walked in, but those doubts evaporated at the first bite. The food is amaaaaayzing, not just for a bar, but for any restaurant. Staff was extremely competent and attentive, which is hard to find at a bar/grill. (And seriously, ladies, I would go here just for the restrooms alone - most bar bathrooms are dimly-lit and grungy if not outright disgusting petri dishes swimming in urine stains and desperation. None of that nonsense here!) The whole venue was clean and well-lit and comfortable. And did I mention the FOOD?? Im in love! The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because despite claiming to have a "smoking section," the smoking section seemed to be the entire building. Yecch.

Full on pub atmosphere with a touch of sports bar for good measure. Inside its large and dark, with a big fireplace, games and pool table and there is a great patio out front with a cool waterfall and another smaller one in back with corn hole. The owner seems to work hard to give this pub personality and a fun vibe. There is smoking inside which is not overpowering if you can stand a bit of smoke but if thats a deal killer, then plan on patio only.

I love. their. food. The drink selection is quite nice and they have some interesting house concoctions! Pool tables, a gorgeous patio with a waterfall and outdoor TV, and SKEE BALL. I will say that some of the staff is a bit rude on occasion, but who isnt dealing with loads of drinking patrons. If all else fails, ask for Meg because she is awesome and a very skilled bartender.

Horrible experience! Recently new to the area and heard this was a place to check out! Not only was I over charged...my debit card was processed 3 different times. I called to speak to a manager and explained what happened. No one returned my messages! Horrible!!! I will never go back!

This is the best bar in Knoxville! Troy, the owner, went out of his way to made us and others feel welcome. They have plenty of TVs for watching games and the whole staff is very friendly. If you are going to be in Knoxville you need to make sure to stop at Bucket Head!

Great food, excellent drinks and entertainment. Groove Injection Karaoke on Thursday nights is some of the best that can be had in the city. Not to big, not to small. All kinds of bar games. Two pool tables. Bartenders are knowledgeable and quick.

Great place to socialize, even close some business (true story). The people are real, theyre friendly and always seem to be open to cool, enlightened conversation and fun. Great food, pool tables, karaoke and live music there, too....

I sat in the no smoking section but apparently the signs saying no smoking in this area dont apply to everyone. At least 2 people at he the bar were smoking. Ill take my money elsewhere. Follow your own rules.

The food was very good and the staff checked in frequently to make sure we were okay. The only issue was the smoke. If they updated their HVAC systems it would be a pretty good place for all (smokers & non).

Sounded like a great place and I love the building. Stinks of cigarettes! How do they get by with smoking in a restaurant advertised as family atmosphere for after high school games? Too bad!

Great food, fun place. There is a smoking and non smoking section for those of you like myself who dont smoke. For the guy who doesnt want his clothes to stink, suck it up and be a real man.

Wanted to go for a long time because it looks like a cool place. Walked in, felt the dingy smell of cigarette smoke hit me, and walked out. Didnt want my clothes to stink.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. It can be smokey sometimes so if you cant handle smoke then look elsewhere. The burger is delicious! We go on Wednesdays for Slingo

I love the guitarist Buckethead, and this place was cool, too. I like that they have Big Buck Hunter and Time Crisis 2. Got to play it while buzzed.

A pleasant little tavern where theres beer. And they let you drink the beer in return for some money. Definitely think this is going to catch on

Friendly staff and good food. The only down side is the parking lot is not bit enough for the crowds that come on the weekends.

Had fantasies appetizers, an OK beer selection but the entire place *reeked* of smoke. I came out smelling like it heavily.

Really wanted to try this place, but the smoking(cigarettes, not cigars) made it completely intolerable. Sad.
