GAY STREET
INTRODUCING
Gay Street
Gay St. is the main drag of downtown Knoxville, notably marked by the big, bright, bold Tennessee Theatre sign (if you don’t take a photo of it, have you really been to Knoxville? 😉). She’s flanked on either side by local bars, restaurants, venues and shops. In typical Knoxville fashion, there’s plenty of opportunity to learn some history or catch some music. Needless to say, there is no reason to be bored on Gay St!
HERE ARE SOME
THINGS WE LOOOVE
It's the heartbeat of downtown with restaurants, bars, and theaters.
Plenty of photo opps & people watching
All the parades & events (Christmas tree lighting is our fave!)
BESIDES THAT, HERE’S
THE OVERALL VIBE
Drive slowly as pedestrians make themselves at home!
It's the most "city" feeling part of our lil scruffy city. We love it!

Discover Knoxville with us! From monthly hops and happy hours to activities, fitness, and more!
we care WAY too much about not having to drive & park & drive & park on a fun night out 😂 if you’re like uuuuuus, then 📣LISTEN UP, BABES 📣 because these neighbors recently opened in Cedar Bluff out in West Knoxville just for ussss 😉🕺
SO start the night with some @craftaxethrowingwestknoxville for some axe throwing (obvi) but also darts and tvs and such. It’s just a generally fun spot for a group to hang since there’s plenty of space and multiple axe-tivities to choose from (see what we did there?😉)
PRO TIP: before you feel ready to leave, have someone pop next door & get your name on the list in case there’s a wait 👀
Because your dinner & drinks portion of the evening is LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT DOOR 👉@abridgedbeer_hq is basically a combo of the OG Abridged in Bearden and the @abridgedbeer_oakroom that we loooove in Happy Holler. HQ has a lil somethin for everyone 🤤
So aaaaaaaall that to say, if you’re out in West Knoxville, this is ✨SUCH✨ a convenient and fun hang for a larger group or a cute lil date.
Have you tried out this combo yet?? 🪓🍔🍺

HAVE YALL TRIED @71southknox yet? 🍽️
71 South is ✨neeeew✨ to South Knoxville and they came right out the gate with some serious brunch action 👏👏👏 BUT we also popped by for regular ole weekday lunch the other day and y’all, it was DELIGHTFUL 😍
Here’s why:
👉 You can watch people do skateboard and bike tricks next door at Baker Creek Preserve🤯
👉 We chatted with Ryan, one of the owners, for awhile and he was 10/10 equally delightful
👉 They have BOOZEY FLOATS, WHAT 🤩
👉 Their prices are legit reasonable and their chicken bacon ranch sandwich was our fave thing we ordered - both reasons we’ll be coming back for lunch after our various outdoor SoKno hangs (sitting on a patio counts as an outdoor hang, okay🙃)
👉 It looks very nice & clean but it’s also extremely chill… tbh our fave combo 🙌
👉 They have ✨daily✨ specials & Happy Hours & events (swipe to the end to see ‘em!)
👉 They’re the first in what is going to be a legit destination spot in South Knox. (It’s just a hair up the street from the SoKno Taco corner.) The renovated church theyre in is biiiiiiiig and has space for multiple vendors - a few of which are coming very soon and one in particular we are very excited about 👀🍻
Is that enough for now?😂😂
All that to say, summer is SoKno season and we will So[kno] see you there 😉
Send this to someone who needs to get lunch with you stat! 👏👏

🚨UNDERRATED SOUTH KNOX RESTAURANT ALERT🚨
We made a mistake, yall. When @redbudkitchenknox came on the South Knox scene, we jumped to the conclusion that is was a chain. AND WE ARE NOT TOO PROUD TO ADMIT WHEN WE ARE WRONG 😂🙏
Their owner is right over in Morristown where she owns another restaurant (@redbud_deli) with a different concept 🤯 truly mindblown when we found out The Red Bud in South Knox was one of a kind 😂🤦♀️
Siiiiiince we found out, we’ve been heading to Red Bud for lunches, chill nights on the south side, or even ordering to-go to enjoy at @hiwirebrewing_knx 🙌 (that’s what our New2Knox Brew Hops have been doing this year!)
Sooooo have you tried it yet?? Or did anyone make the same mistake we did?😅🙃
#knoxville #southknoxville #knoxeats
are we physically capable of walking across this bridge without stopping for a photo? SURVEY SAYS [so]NOOOOO🙃
No shame; it’s stunning every time 😂🙌
For real, the Gay St Bridge has a bike lane and a pedestrian sidewalk so it’s extra safe to walk across from Downtown Knoxville to SoKno! Once you’re over the bridge, just follow the sidewalk (feel free to take a detour up the stairs to the ⚡️iconic⚡️ JFG sign) and you’ll end up in all the goodness that is Old Sevier in South Knoxville 😋
It is a deliiiiight😍 (especially before those temps get too high loooool) Have you walked/scootered/biked across the bridge before??
