Fred's Around the Corner: Kitchen + Bar

What a great find! Clean, not too big, cozy perfect atmosphere! The best part was the great service and food quality. We ordered Red beans and rice, Jambalaya and also the gumbo! They have full portion but also smaller which was great for our group who all wanted to try a bit of everything. The best part was the incredible service from the bar tender! She was super patient and gave great advice! Love this place!

Great selection of local brews in tap and a very good menu with a wide selection of food items. Offers flights, half pours and full pours. They do carry xul brewery beer which is a must have.

So many non alcoholic options! Even have one on draft. Great atmosphere and location. Guinness on draft too. Fred bean and rice was amazing Cajun food and I appreciate the massive selection of hot sauces.

Wow. Happy with this Cajun food and beer bar. We ordered Sopin and Spicy and Prim and Proper sandwiches with gumbo. Oh what a flavor 😋 perfect with no 6 Iron Forge little pigeon Lager. The bartender was friendly and attentive. Very casual hangout to have beer, mocktail and food while watching games on the big screen. Will be back.

Oh my gosh am I glad my work buddy Kortney recommended the red beans & rice here. I got mine with chicken and it was fantastic. So good. Happy to support a local small business and add this to our downtown lunch rotation.

This is the place to start your Scruffy beer crawl. Lots of locals on draft and friendly staff to help you plan your day discovering Knoxvilles beer scene. Pro tip / ask for a map. Thanks Zack!

Great local place to grab a bite to eat. Tasty Cajun style food with friendly service. Highly recommend trying this place out.

We went to Fred's grand opening on 10/3/25. The place was packed and lively. We had a great time and the food, service and atmosphere were all fantastic. Their philly cheesesteak was phenomenal. Cocktails were very good as well. I will be back! Highly recommend.

The beer at this place was nice. There are several options for you to choose from. The food is also worth trying. I enjoyed the red beans and rice with the chicken.

Love this spot! Bright and welcoming, with super helpful staff, a great variety of beers, and yummy food. We had a work event here - and it'll be our go-to spot in the future. Everyone enjoyed the drinks and snacks (we had buffalo sliders, sausages, 3 dips with veggies and crackers, cookies, and they threw in some watermelon on a super hot day), and we could actually hear each other!

Quiet bar great selection of beer all the local fair and some others. Food was a small good selection. Staff was knowledgeable of the area great for tourists. Locals liked it too!

This may be my favorite place in all of downtown. Extremely underrated food. Amazing beer selection. Never met more helpful staff. Perfect environment to study or hang with friends. 6/5 stars

The vegetarian hangover bowl was a revelation. Just writing about it makes me want to go back. Service at the bar was quick and the place has a nice modern vibe that meshes well with the surrounding downtown.

Sat at the bar and enjoyed a flight and some beers. Bartender was really nice and also let us try some beers before ordering. There's plenty of options here and you also get complementary popcorn.

Yoshi was so sweet and such a good bartender. The space is chill and the tap list rocks.

Friendly beer tender offered samples before we committed to a pint...much appreciated. Sat in front to people watch with a nice open window and beautiful weather. Browsed the take-home selections & took some home. All in all, satisfied & will return. Wonderful day drinking spot.

Charles at the bar was super helpful! We ordered 2 beers & 2 hot dogs all at a great price. This place is clean, friendly and yummy! It is a must spot if you are looking for a chill spot at a good price.

The beer selection is great and a nice laidback vibe. The blackened chicken nachos were next level. A lot is going on with the layered toppings. More than I was expecting from "plain pub nachos". If the rest of the menu is anywhere close to the nachos then downtown has an unexpected gem!

Great place to spend your Saturday afternoon! Conversing while sipping on ice cold brew. Large selection of local drafts to wash down those tasty dogs. Friendly and helpful staff, You won't be disappointed.

10/10 service, beers, food, and company. Nice music, beautiful plants. Super accommodating on a snow day- wonderful vibes. The whole staff is so friendly and helpful. Great time overall!!

We loved the vibe here--lots of comfy seating, not crowded, friendly waitstaff, a large beer selection, dog-friendly and free popcorn (bonus for me). My craft beer-loving husband was very happy with the selection of beer and I was happy to have some non-beer drink options for myself. We need Knox Brew Hub to expand --Nash(ville) Brew Hub!!

Absolute hidden gem amongst the hustle and bustle of Market Square. Great food, beer, and environment. Don't miss out on this one.

Great beer selection to stay in or carry out! I especially love their non alcoholic beer options as well as cider, Frog Juice kombucha, soda

This may be the best meal I've had in downtown Knoxville. Game changer! The staff is friendly. The atmosphere is great. The bathroom is are clean

Another delicious dinner for #fredsbeansandrice and great beers at #knoxbrewhub. Thank you for hosting the Woof Gang Walk with #sbret this week. Beautiful walk and awesome human and dog company.

Working in Knoxville and stopped by for dinner and beers. It was Monday and the kitchen was closed. I still had a couple of local brews and grabbed a 4 pack to go. Good selection, outstanding service, and great atmosphere.

My wife and I already loved Knox Brew Hub--and, after utilizing their rental program to serve beer at a recent party, we love KBH even more! Zack, the owner, was responsive and so easy to work with. He made sure I understood the gear (a jockey box) and also helped me pick out two perfect local beers for the party we hosted. I am so glad we went with the Brew Hub. Highly recommend the bar and the rental program--thank you, Zack and team!

The best part about this place is the friendly and caring employees. It's a very relaxed vibe with a bit of an industrial look. There's many different conversation areas a.k.a. couches, window seating, tables, and, of course, the bar. As it's name suggests, there's more beer than you can imagine, mostly draft. They offer the draft in 4oz, 8oz, 16oz, and 20 oz. With that much choice in selection and size everyone should be pleased. I've eaten the small hot dogs they serve too (but not on this visit), and they are quite unique and delicious. The also have nice big, clean, non-gender specific bathrooms. It's a great place to just hangout, or stop by for beer in a comfortable atmosphere.

We had a big group of 9 on a Saturday night. The waits for dinner were hours. As we were walking back to our parking garage in defeat we saw a hot dog sign in a bar. We ordered bang bang dogs, pimento cheese and I had the red beer. We would 100% go back what a great surprise. Staff was super nice too.

Stopped her after finding them on Yelp. Sadly as great as it was the bartender cared only for those he knew and made us feel very unwelcome. I won't judge a place on one stop so maybe next time.

Always friendly, always a good selection, and always something creative happening at Knox Brew Hub. Zack has created a perfect home for beer lovers downtown. We go to watch football/basketball games and also love going on a slow afternoon to read a book and have a beer. It has joking become the perfect place to drink while you wait for your table to be ready on market square. We have also been on several of the brew tours and highly recommend this for a fun afternoon out with friends!

Amazing! Just off Market square this place is amazing! Designed like a subway station from the menu to the tap this place has a cozy atmosphere, clean and sleek look , the beer selection will please any palate. The staff is fried my and inviting! Go check them out !

Tried Fred Beans & Rice today- I had the smothered bowl with Andouille. Very good serving size, flavors were great and staff is very friendly. I will be back!

This place is so fun! Such a great selection of beers. I had one of the sours and it was delicious.

The nicest owners and staff. Fred Beans & Rice: that po boy bread is sheer perfection. Great blackened chicken and my friend loved his tacos, too. Try it.

Happened to sit next to the owners at the bar and they are the nicest people, took time to tell me about their beers and also map out the sites and breweries to see in Knoxville. I will definitely be back. Great local beer selection and great service all night.

Everyone who works here is exceptional! Every time I come, whoever is working has an extensive beer knowledge, a great attitude, and is very welcoming. I appreciate any place that is showing off some of the wonderful brews East TN has to offer. -A fellow downtown employee.

Good beer and friendly service. Location is nice too! Helpful people, very nice hostess

This is an amazing craft beer bar located off of Union Street in Market Square. How can you go wrong with a flight of brew and a flight of popcorn? You can't! Try the candied bacon popcorn! I definitely recommend trying this place. It's my new "go to." They are masked up and following 2020 COVID protocols.

With Knoxville being a city that prides itself on its scruffy attitude and local beer culture, Knox Brew Hub is a perfect spot to experience both these things. Located near Knoxville's heart, Market Square, it's always a great experience walking downtown and getting a beer here from a staff who is extremely knowledgeable and proud of all the great brews Knoxville has to offer. Most importantly in these crazy times, Knox Brew Hub does an incredible job following Covid-19 guidelines, making sure all their patrons are safe and comfortable. Never a bad time at the Knoxville Brew Hub!!!

This bar provided an awesome night out in Knoxville. We come for the bike race every year and usually find Saturday pretty dull since everything seems to close early. We spotted Knox Brew Hub on the way back to our hotel and I'm so glad we did! James was awesome with recommendations, the locals were very social, and hey - the Bucs beat the Nets! Who could ask for more than great beer, great people, and great sports! Clean, great service, snacks, and fun vibe. We'll be back!

The atmosphere is awesome! Really enjoy the different events throughout the week, like chess night. Cassie was great and made good suggestions for what drinks to try.
