This is the location on Gay street, which is awesome, but if you're up for a little drive, try their old farm house location in Ashbury.

BABALU® - Knoxville
412 S Gay StThey have phenomenal drinks - but it's location is what really sets it apart. It's a speakeasy in the first floor of the Oliver Hotel. I'd highly recommend it.

Awesome bowling alley, great drinks and food. They have restrictions on when people under 21 can bowl, so check that first if you want to bring someone under 21. They also have a great bar upstairs and giant board games.
