Down south they love their sports and they love their microbrews. Pairing the two together makes for some great Tennessee sports bars. In Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg you’ll find a pleasant mix of familiar favorites and unique hole-in-the-walls.
1. Smoky Mountain Brewery
We’ll start things off with the most eccentric entry on this list--the Smoky Mountain Brewery! This “ski lodge meets Bavarian beer hall” is a great place to catch the game, get some great brews and lounge the evening away overlooking the gorgeous Smoky Mountains.
This one’s also a two-for-one. There’s a Smoky Mountain Brewery in both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge!
2. Blue Moose Burgers and Wings
Blue Moose is a local Pigeon Forge watering hole beloved by locals. If you’re looking for a great experience somewhat off the beaten path, here’s where you’ll find it. This is a family sports grill, so don’t be afraid to bring the whole gang along for some juicy burgers and great atmosphere!
3. Buffalo Wild Wings
A Tennessee take on a nationwide classic. You can find a Buffalo Wild Wings in just about every county in America, but you’ll never find one quite as charming as those in Tennessee.
Nothing goes with beer and a football game quite like chicken wings. And if there’s one thing Buffalo Wild Wings does right, it’s their extensive roster of chicken wing options.
4. The Bluff's
The Bluff’s is a locally-owned sports bar with plenty of outdoor seating and two full bars. This atmospheric restaurant bears the title of “Sevier County’s game day headquarters” so expect a packed house on big game days.
For those that like to watch their sports in a belfry way, there’s also billiards, darts and other traditional pub games just waiting for you and your friends. Why pay for your own drinks when you can win them in a game of pool?
5. Dave and Buster's
Dave and Buster’s is loud, raucous and colorful. There are game cabinets lining the walls and televisions at every table. This is the place to go if you’re dining out with a mixed crowd, because there’s a little bit of something for everyone, whether they enjoy games, sports, or sweet wine!
6. Pucker's Sports Grill
Wings. Sports. Beer. The tagline here is simple, accurate and catchy. What more do you need on a Saturday night? Pucker’s packs the house with a dozen HDTVs permanently tuned in to professional sports, college games and pay-per-view events.
Even one of these sports bars in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge aren't your cup of tea, you can always catch the game at one of our beautiful Smoky Mountain cabin rentals.
