The Best Restaurants and Bars Around Downtown Knoxville, Tennessee | Eater Nashville

"Knoxville’s Ale Trail is overflowing with breweries; one of the best places to start is at Schulz’s massive beer hall (inside a warehouse designed to look like a legit European castle) or sprawling outdoor biergarten, where you can sip German-style beers like a refreshing Munich Helles or smoky Rauchbier paired with quintessential German dishes made from scratch daily. The boisterous, family- and dog-friendly space also regularly hosts live music and events. If you’ve left room after schnitzel, brats, and a few brews from Schulz Bräu, head across the street and grab a few extra snacks at the Central Filling Station Food Truck Park." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
