The Kennedy

Food was incredible. Flavor upon flavor, we LOVED our meals! Our server and hosts were really friendly, and our server gave great suggestions… and we’re glad we listened! We had the King Crab Crispy Rice, the Filet and the Wagyu Burger. The location is perfectly situated near the market district - completely walkable. Inside we found an intimate atmosphere in the rear area, and a more right and fun vibe in the front area. I 100% recommended this place!

Our first time here and we will definitely be back! The food was AMAZING!! We got the had to force ourselves to stop eating it was all so good. Then we ordered dessert! I tried different drinks and they were all 10/10! Our server Jorge was also very helpful in describing the different items and helping us choose what to order. We can’t wait to come back :)

My boyfriend and I are visiting Knoxville from out of town and decided to stop by The Kennedy today to get some lunch. I got The Kennedy Burger with a side of truffle fries and it was absolutely amazing. My boyfriend got the spicy rigatoni with grilled chicken and said it was the best pasta he’s ever had. Our server was so friendly and helpful when we had questions with the menu. Our food came out super quick as well. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Knoxville and looking for a higher-end restaurant with great food and service!

We had an amazing dinner at The Kennedy in downtown Knoxville! We started with the Devils on Horseback appetizer—such a delicious balance of sweet and savory. For our entrée, the Kennedy Wagyu Burger was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We ended the night with the Salty Malty Ice Cream Pie, which was the perfect finish to an already incredible meal. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel special. The atmosphere is modern, welcoming, and has such great vibes. Highly recommend The Kennedy if you’re looking for amazing food, excellent service, and a memorable night out in Knoxville. We’ll definitely be back!

My husband and I came out for our anniversary and it was our first time eating here. Liza, our waitress was amazing! She was very knowledgeable with the menu, gave us recommendations, was kind and even helped us celebrate our special day with a dessert. My husband got the French Dip and macaroni for his side, he really liked both.The Rigatoni was delicious and the portions were generous. Liza was amazing and let us try the truffle which was divine. We can’t wait to come back and try some other dishes.

Stopped in for lunch after the farmers market and already planning our return. The atmosphere is stylish but relaxed, the service was great, and every dish delivered. Highly recommend the Prickly Pear Affair cocktail—refreshing and beautiful. The Devils on Horseback (bacon-wrapped dates with pesto and tomato sauce) were absolutely delish! And the Kennedy Chopped Salad with blackened salmon was a total standout. We’re already planning our next visit- highly recommend! 👍🏻👍🏻

I have gone to The Kennedy numerous times over the last year. It is always great sitting at the bar. On a busy weekend it is better to get a reservation but you can usually find a few open seats at the bar. I actually rented out the loft area for my birthday last Fall. It was a great time with great friends. The staff did a fantastic job. I highly recommend this place, the food is great and drinks are awesome!

My mom came to visit me and we decided to have a nice dinner in Knoxville. The menu here looked great and the building looked interesting. Service was very friendly. My mom ordered a pizza but had asked for the meat to be on the side so I could have it, as she doesn’t eat meat. She was going to customize the pizza with just the veggies but it would have been more expensive than just ordering the Philly cheesesteak pizza which doesn’t make sense. She also ordered a salad. I ordered the French Dip. Her salad was brought and she finished. By that point, we’d been in the restaurant about 45 minutes. No sign of our entrees. Our waiter then comes over with the manager who told us they accidentally put the meat on her pizza vs on the side so they had to remake it. They were very polite and friendly about it…but I’d not ordered any appetizer. It took another 25+ minutes for the food to arrive. That meant I’d been waiting well over an hour for any food. I think they should have brought or at least offered me a salad or some other compensation. Or maybe taken some money off the bill? I don’t know but with parking being not convenient and the extreme wait, the food would have had to have been mind blowing. It was average. There wasn’t anything standout or special about the flavors and I found the meat to be a bit too greasy for a French dip. We sat upstairs and it was insanely loud and I could smell the pizzas being fired. It wasn’t enjoyable or relaxing to me. Mom was tired from traveling and we didn’t feel like making a big deal and being there any longer. That said, I wouldn’t go back or have this as a top recommendation for where to eat in Knoxville.

My sister and I came in to suprise our mother for her 45th Birtbday today. We planned reservations at the Kennedy in downtown knoxville. It was the perfect evening and Jo was an incredible waitress. Every drink and entree came out perfect. We will definitely be back!! 10/10 ambiance, service, and food! Thank you all:)

Owen was an excellent server. loved the drink he suggested and he was super friendly!! Food was amazing. beautiful atmosphere.

Jo was a fantastic waitress attentive and an amazing personality and the new filet was probably the best steak I've ever had. 10/10 recommend this restaurant to any and everyone!

I got spoiled staying at the Hyatt off Gay St. because it's so close to The Kennedy. I went here last year when I was here for work and I had to come check it out again. It's a really well done upscale restaurant and bar. The decor and tall ceilings makes you feel fancy but also casual enough to stop in for a quick bite and a drink. The bartenders have been awesome and have had great charisma. I met a couple new friends there and we decided to order Vegas bombs (which isn't typically on the menu of a craft bar lol) they sorted it out and hooked us up. The food was great across the board. The bacon wrapped dates are incredible, wings are on point, the salmon was cooked to perfection and the crab rice cakes were absolutely delicious. I definitely want to try more of the menu out. I heard the filet was amazing so I'll likely grab that next.

GET YOURSELF A RESERVATION!! This place is always packed apparently. Ambiance: Beautifully done interiors. I loved how they utilized the existing space and tall ceilings. Food: the main entree/food took about 30-40 minutes to get to our table. We were quite disappointed by that, especially since no one told us that it would take that long. 1) Goat Cheese Croquettes- DELICIOUS- order it! 2) Crispy Half Chicken- DELICIOUS! I loved the Brussels sprouts. The herbed jus from the chicken made for a great gravy for the mashed potatoes. The chicken was juicy and well flavored. Service: The service was alright. Our server was bouncing around everywhere. The restaurant was busy, but lots of empty tables at 8:30 PM. Not sure why the kitchen and service were backed up.

I've been wanting to try this restaurant since it opened and it was worth the wait! I stopped in with my 2 teenagers and a friend for lunch on a Wednesday, we had reservations but at 12:45 we didn't need them, it was pretty quiet. The waiter was kind and sat us quickly, he took his time walking us through the menu and the lunch specials, in addition to giving us his personal favorites. The kids both got the Blueberry Thyme cocktail and I ordered a sparkling Rosé, as well as some Truffle fries for the table while we browsed the menu. I absolutely love that they have the 1/2 & 1/2 menu for lunch, it allowed me to try more than one thing without the portions being too large. Everything we ordered was very flavorful and perfectly prepared. This would definitely be a good date spot or a place to stop for an evening cocktail. The interior design is gorgeous and tasteful! I'll be back.

We were sat at the front behind the podium since we had no reservation, yet others seemed to be able to walk in and get a booth etc. We were one of those tables where no one would claim us. So after seeing 2 other tables getting waters etc. We kept trying to get someone's attention to find out who was our wait person. We finally met her and things were a bit slow but she did have a big table to deal with. This was my final meal visiting TN for the first time and it was Good. Had the Half French Dip and Half Chop Salad. Was so good! And a starter....I can't recall. Then there is this delicious Purple~Prickly Pear Cocktail that I had to try. Refreshing but on the tart side but nice, rather than being sickly sweet. I would give it another go. Nice inside but would never accept that table again and I would probably ask who my server is before I commit. (I was heading to the Airport afterwards so... bit panicky). And yes, our server apologized profusely... when it was time to pay.

So, both the food and the service were great. With a caveat. We had a drink at the bar and waited for takeout. The drink was OK, and i got a pizza which, while the bottom was a little soft, was an excellent pie. My wife got a salad, and emphasized no cheese, she has an allery. Of course we are back to our hotel room before we find out it's filled with shredded cheese. So instead of a nice meal we spent an extra 15 minutes fishing shredded cheese out of the salad so she could eat it. So really a five star, except that they screwed up an allergy on a $108 check bill and pair of drinks. In their defense we did not leave the hotel and hike the two blocks back to complain (it was storming), but for the reputation and price we thought we didnt need to double check our order before we left. This the three instead of 5.

The interior of this restaurant is stunning. Love the ambiance and decor. The menu is well thought out, very elevated pub fare and it was delicious! My daughter had the French Onion soup as her entree and it was excellent. The broth was super flavorful and rich (albeit a little overly salty) and the bread to cheese ratio was perfect. I had the pick two and paired my French Onion soup with the Italian club. I was kind of just expecting an Italian sub but the flavors were amazing. Love the arugula paired with the pesto aioli. Our friends had the Waygu burger and said it was phenomenal. Our waiter was fine but the hostess who seated us did not posses any of that southern hospitality we hear about.

Ate here with a group of friends while downtown. Conveniently located near the state street parking garage. Menu is reasonably priced with an array of options. Server was extremely friendly and provided drink and food recommendations. The food was delicious and full of flavor! Highly recommend.

We tried this new restaurant that is located in the Old Blackhorse space on Gay Street recently on a Sunday night. The motif is elegant casual. A very old space that has been updated. We tried the Devils On Horseback app which might be the best app in Knoxville, basically it's a Date wrapped in Bacon on top of a Basil Tomato sauce, sweet and savory and so good. I had the Chicken Parm sandwich substituting Onion Rings for the fries, the Onion Rings were good, but I prefer beer batter. The Chicken parm came out hot enough to burn the mouth which is good nothing worse than a cold hot sandwich. My wife hade the G.O.A.T. Salad the fried goat cheese croquets were superb in Spinach with a light balsamic vinaigrette light and delicious. The service was excellent and the deep craft draft beer taps were superb for a more elegant space

The service, the vibes, the food, everything was incredible!! Their menu was huge with a ton of selections!!

We dined here for my birthday and had an overall lovely experience! I made a reservation ahead of time and we were seated right away when we arrived. Our waitress was prompt and polite. The drinks were tasty and we enjoyed the Devils on Horseback appetizer. For our entrées we had the Wagyu burger, spicy rigatoni, and chicken parm sandwich. Everything was delicious and we all enjoyed our meals. They gave me a complimentary flourless chocolate cake for my birthday and it was so rich. I love how they offer traditional American dishes with an elevated and unique twist. There is something for everyone! I will definitely dine here again and think it's a great addition to downtown.

This place has a great vibe. Bartender was on point. Our server was fantastic too! Fell a little short on the meal. Potato chips didn't seem fresh and very thin for a dipping chip. French onion did was tasty. The French dip...super greasy. I couldn't pick up the sandwich. Brussels were just ok. I will come back and try something different because the service was really great! Just wasn't a huge fan of my meal.

A really fun gastropub with a Southern twist, we enjoyed our midafternoon drink at the Kennedy. The Al Pastor margarita was ingenious and lived up to its name, with a savory but sweet pineapple twist. Service was friendly and attentive to top it all off. We can't wait to return next time we're in town for dinner. Judging by the drinks, we're in for a treat.

I could rave about the Kennedy ALL DAY LONG. By far my favorite restaurant in Knoxville. The vibes and ambience are fabulous. They have great fun and unique drinks including one in a bathtub. And yet the food is still my favorite part. I crave their spicy rigatoni daily, definitely check out the Kennedy

We were early for our reservation, so we sat outside (it was a spectacular day) for a beverage before our meal. The patio area is cute and comfy. Our server, Joshua, was excellent. We were both in the mood for a craft cocktail, and Joshua recommended a spicy drink with Mezcal and jalapeño. It was a bit startling at first sip, but ultimately delicious! Great recommendation! Our meal, unfortunately, didn't meet expectations. Let me say that, having read the reviews, I thought this might be my new favorite restaurant in Knoxville. We shared the Devils on Horseback appetizer, which received rave reviews. The first two bites were delicious, but by the end we were both nauseated; it was soooo sweet. I get it: dates are sweet. But there must be a way to counteract that sweetness. Perhaps a different sauce? I had the lump crab and crispy rice for my meal, and I was disappointed. The rice to crab ratio was absurd. I was expecting a thin layer of crispy rice, as I've seen in many Persian rice recipes. Instead, it was several cubes of rice, about one inch tall, wide, and thick, topped with a very thin layer of crab. While it was tasty, after I broke down one of the rice cubes and mixed it with the crab, the proportions were just wrong. My husband got the French Dip, which he said was tasty, but the bread couldn't hold up to the sandwich, and ultimately became broken and soggy. The space itself is beautiful, and the service was impeccable. We're definitely going to give it another try; maybe those dishes simply weren't for us.

One of our new favorites! In the former Black Horse spot across from Cruz. The space is well thought out, comfortable, and classy, while still keeping some historical elements of the building intact. The service was friendly and prompt and the menu had so many unique and tasty options. We ordered a TK old fashioned and the margarita al pastor. Both were very good, just note that the margarita has bits of herbs in it, which was a tad texturally off-putting. For food, we got the wagyu burger with fries, the chicken parm sandwich with fries and split a side of the charred goat cheese carrots. Honestly, the chicken parm sandwich was one of the best things I have eaten in Knoxville in our almost five years living here. Pounded thin, perfectly tender, breaded, and cooked with such delicious sauces and toasted bread to complement it. The sandwich was absolutely enormous, so next time I would do the lunch combo with half sandwich. Hubby liked the burger, which was perfectly cooked and the meat such a high quality with no gristle. The fries and sauce that came with it were amazing, too. Our only complaints would be that most of the fries were those broken, sharp shards like what's found d at the end of a frozen bag, and the carrots weren't cooked long enough or well-seasoned. Overall, this was a great experience and we can't wait to go back! Glad they are open during lunch hours as well as dinner, so we can go while our kids are in school.

It was just ok. We came here after my wife and mother in law had such a wonderful experience a couple of weeks ago. I ordered the cheeseburger, wife ordered the French dip and mom ordered a chicken parm sandwich. My burger was good but nothing spectacular, it looked very good on the plate but just was ok. Wife's French dip was good. My mother in-laws sandwich was very tasty. We all ordered fries, with my wife and I getting the truffle fries. They were very dry, not warm and all of them were small. Like it was the bottom of the bag. The waitress was very nice and helpful but she never refilled my drink. It a very nice place but very loud. We may give it another try. Idk. The devils on horseback that we ordered as a starter was the only dish that was good. I did leave the waitress a tip but I did give her feedback on our service and food.

My mom came to visit me and we decided to have a nice dinner in Knoxville. The menu here looked great and the building looked interesting. Service was very friendly. My mom ordered a pizza but had asked for the meat to be on the side so I could have it, as she doesn't eat meat.

Mom was tired from traveling and we didn't feel like making a big deal and being there any longer. That said, I wouldn't go back or have this as a top recommendation for where to eat in Knoxville.

The food: delicious, worth the higher price The ambiance: so nice, it's a classy place that has lived music The service: fantastic. I spoke to bartender earlier in the night telling her my favorite garnish, came back later with a friend, and she added it to my cocktail without mentioning it.

Food is great, always. The service could be better. The hosts are not very welcoming and the servers aren't as attentive as they could be. Ambiance is what sells the place in our opinion.

Jo was amazing! She was very energetic and prompt. I will be back to The Kennedy because of her superb service!

I was just passing by for work and wanted to grab dinner and a drink at a nice restaurant. This was perfect and it was a walk away from my hotel. They had live music during the week which was great and it's such a cool vibe-y space. I ordered the spicy crab crispy rice and the spicy rigatoni, I was happy with both. My server was very attentive and I will be coming back if I'm in the area!

A very stately and handsome restaurant. Feels like being in an elite club when you enter the door. The service was fantastic and attentive. We had an amazing burrata that was actually so enormous we could barely eat our lunches. The French dip was fantastic. I had the chicken parm sandwich and it was very good. Excellent truffle fries accompanying the dish. The ice cream pie was less good than I had expected but it was still yummy.

This place never fails to impress me. The burgers, pasta, and cocktails are amazing. 10/10 recommend

The Kennedy is always an easy choice choice for dinner and/or drinks--consistent and never disappoints. Ask for Liza!

We went with a large group for a birthday dinner. Parking behind the restaurant was easy to access. The atmosphere is very modern and sleek. Our server was super kind and attentive to our large group. The appetizers were the star of the show. My favorite was the crab over cripsy rice. For my entree, I got the wagyu cheeseburger and updated the side to truffle fries. The truffle fries and aioli had great flavor. The burger was substantial but a little dry, especially considering the menu says it is wagyu beef. Overall a nice addition to downtown Knoxville's restaurant scene!

We walked in without a reservation at the suggestion of our server from another bar. Ivey said the food and ambience was good so we gave it a try. They seated us immediately and it was nice and quiet. Our server Liv was very nice and suggested we try the dates and mac & cheese. We also ordered the Italian club. Everything was delicious. We will definitely go back and try some of the other dishes .

We came for drinks and live music to celebrate my birthday and another friends' birthday with a group of 4. Jocelyn served us and was absolutely lovely!! I swear she is Anna Kendrick's twin! The live music was SO good!! I live in Nashville and was so impressed with the Brent Hyder's music! He was phenomenal! Kyle, the manager, brought us a special treat for our birthdays! It was the best experience! Also, the atmosphere is so cool! Highly recommend!!!

Jo was absolutely amazing! She was so knowledgeable in answering all our questions, very personable and sweet. Everyone at The Kennedy was great!!

Abbie was absolutely wonderful. My family and I will come back for the food and just for her!!! Her service was amazing and she was very attentive. We ordered 2 of the blue crab crispy rice , truffle fries, the mini corn dogs, spicy rigatoni and the chicken parm. We really enjoyed our time here and would come back!

Great atmosphere. The amberjack was soft and buttery with a great sear. Was very busy but service was timely

Ok, this place was a 4 on the food scale, started with appetizers, French Onion, nice bowl, not salty, plenty of onions, Shrimp Cocktail (5 Med-Lg with a cocktail sauce that was ok, maybe out of a jar. My mix is Horseradish, chili sauce and ketchup with a sprinkle of parsley, cooked properly although I prefer jumbo that after cooked then chilled to provide firmness. These just came from under the cold water) and Devils on Horseback with medjool dates, applewood smoked bacon, goat cheese, balsamic, pumpkin seed pesto, Calabrian chili tomato sauce. This was a great dish and all it needed was some crostini that we asked for and they provided. Dinner were two orders of Faroe Salmon that was cooked perfectly, moist and flakey with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts that were fabulous, nice caramelized to glaze. Other dish was the Spicy Rigatoni pink vodka sauce, crispy prosciutto, calabrian chili, grana padano, ricotta, basil with Chicken strips added that was a large meal and enough to bring home. There service was swell although we had a reservation and were told our table was being cleaned and when we waited 15 min he sat us at a table that was setup since we arrived. Also the main course was slow to come out to the point where the manager came over to apologize which was nice and professional. Drinks were pricey, 15-16 for a whiskey and wine. Bill came to 205.00 plus tip.

It's a 3.5 for me buut I think this place has potential. Service was good and food was mostly good. The inside is also really cute - great decor! I walked by the night before and they also open late and have live music (but I believe they stop serving food at 10pm). [Bone marrow] We were lucky to get soo much bone marrow with this bone BUT that also meant they didn't cook the bone marrow all the way through. I did let the server know who let the manager know and they took it off our tab. I think it would have been good if it was cooked all the way though. [Aperol spritz] Unfortunately they didn't let me know that they didn't have any aperol and just made me whatever to pass off as an aperol spritz. It was also just really sweet which made it not refreshing. [Cheesy truffle fries] I loved the pile of soft cheese on the fries and the black garlic aioli was tasty. I think the portion was a little small and the truffle flavor wasn't as strong. [Mini corn dogs] The honey mustard was really runny but the corn dogs were tasty. Some were a little too bready and I think the corn dogs could be a little bigger. Overall, I love corn dogs so I still liked these!

We couldn't decide on an entree so we ordered a few appetizers to share. Super tasty and quality ingredients!

Great vibe at this spot in downtown Knoxville. We just got apps and drinks at the bar but the bar tenders were friendly and attentive & the restaurant was very busy. The variety of cocktails offered were unique & tasty & the appetizer of black crab crispy rice was delicious.

Trendy Knoxville downtown spot where it's all show and no go! Food is mediocre at best and the crowd is young. It's more of a place to come for a cocktail for the twenty-somethings rather than a place to dine with family. The service was decent and friendly. But I wouldn't come back here. It's strange Knoxville doesn't have a landmark restaurant like a Peter Luger's or similar to visit while in town. It's geared to be cookie-cutter trendy restaurants like The Kennedy. It's a very transactional (chain style) experience! Rate it 2.5 Stars!

Food is good overall, favorites are the soup and pastas. Pizza can be good but occasionally oily. Prices are fair for being located downtown and the ambiance is upscale but still casual. Staff are great and on top of their service. 9/10 recommend.

A Fabulous Experience: We decided to try The Kennedy as it was our first visit to this area of Knoxville. The atmosphere was lively. Our visit was lovely, the food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. Abby (& the support staff) were nothing less than extraordinary. Kudos to the Assistant Manager, Kyle, for the great job he does in keeping his staff happy, it is reflected in the quality of service you receive.

Service - Liza is the best waitress we've had all calendar year. Her attentiveness is world class, her tableside manner would have you to believe she is the only waitress you would ever dine with. Her recommendations are commensurate to the quality of food, the perfect blend of flavor you didn't realize you loved. The food menu is expansive yet deep as each item is filled with layers of fresh flavor growing as you eat more. Do yourself a favor and step away from the real world and rest in the five star dining experience with an ambiance of joy at The Kennedy.

Vibe and food were both excellent. Bartenders were engaging and helpful. House Old Fashioned was awesome and packed a punch. Make a resy if you can help it, or be prepared to wait. Burger, wings, and bacon wrapped dates were all delicious!

Very cool interiors. Feels almost like a NYC restaurant. We were seated immediately and asked the server for his suggestions and he said he loved the French Dip - but that they were out of that? Ok - so... My daughter ordered truffle fries & the Chicken Wrap and I ordered a side Caesar Salad and their Pappardelle with Butternut squash. My daughter loved the fries and the wrap. The Caesar was VERY good - their dressing is delicious. The pappardelle needed something ...it just didn't have a lot of flavor to me. Would definitely go back....maybe to have the French Dip!

Have eaten at the Kennedy multiple times for dinner, always fabulous!! A few different seating options, we love to sit at the bar for great service. Ate here for lunch and got the buffalo chicken caesar wrap- very saucy but still good!

Food was delicious, ambiance was up-scale but casual, service was excellent. Hostess accommodated us immediately when Vida restaurant messed up our reservation.

Came in here at 730pm on a Sunday to get a quick bite before bedtime. The host said it would be a 30 minute wait for a table even though I counted no less than 12 open tables. I was pretty shocked at that so decided to take my business elsewhere. Pretty pathetic they have that many tables open but can't seat one person.

I made a reservation for 4 people in the dining room on Sunday. Upon arrival, we were seated right next to the door on a very chilly February afternoon. We pointed out a few empty tables further inside, but were told none were available. I was a little annoyed since there wasn't a seating choice when making a reservation. It took several minutes for our server to approach with menus. We only saw 2 servers on a moderately busy Sunday afternoon. As expected, service was very slow and our appetizer arrived before our beers. That being said, I was starting to get a bad feeling until I tried the Devils on Horseback appetizer. It was succulent. Since we hadn't seen our friends in many months, the slow service didn't ruin the experience. I had the Kennedy Wagyu Burger and am not exaggerating when I say it was the best burger I have ever eaten! My husband had the short rib special but was jealous when he tasted my burger. His meal was tasty, but mine was a little more than half the price but twice as good! Our friends both ordered the burgers and agreed they were something special. I am hoping management fixes the scheduling issue so there is enough staff to effectively accommodate the patrons. Our server was very pleasant and made a valiant effort, but was fighting a losing battle. Other than being understaffed and a little cold, I actually really enjoyed our meal. We will definitely give The Kennedy another chance because the food was incredible.

enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Kennedy! Our servicer, Sinjin, gave wonderful recommendations and was attentive throughout our evening. I highly recommend the "devils on horseback" as a starter, and one of their signature cocktails. The "only fans martini" is delightful & the "milk and honey" comes in a cute tiny bathtub with floating ducky. Sinjin recommended the rigatoni, which had a dreamy sauce, and our friends very much enjoyed their wild caught salmon with miso butter mashed potatoes - yum! My husband tried the waygu burger and it wasnt quite up to his burger expectations, but the fried onion rings were on par. We finished our dining experience with the "salty malty ice cream pie" and my WORD it was phenomenal! The Kennedy is a wonderful addition to the lovely Gay street businesses and so look forward to our next visit!

The burger was delicious and the fries with their special sauce hit the spot! The service was pretty good and the atmosphere was good with TVs and a good bar area.
