Barbecue restaurant · Knoxville

@eater

"A casual barbecue spot with the low-key vibes of a dive bar, the Downtown Dive in the Old City’s arts district also features a spacious beer garden. Enjoy all things smoked — Boston butts to brisket — accompanied by soul food classics like collards and cole slaw plus a diverse array of wine and craft beer. Fun fact: Sweet P’s owns the World’s Fair logo and is full of kitschy collectibles." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Kellie Walton
