Look for the red light in the alley off of Union Ave. Then it's the first door on the right. Enjoy a Old Fashioned - Rye. You won't be disappointed.

Was in Knoxville for a wedding and this is by far the best bar I've been to.

1st time going to the Peter Kern library, and I absolutely loved it. I didn't know what to expect once we walked down the dark alley, but was definetely taken by surprise on what was behind the door.

Speakeasy; drinks are a little pricy but worth it. Look for the red light down the ally adherent to market square.
