SHENANIGANS
Shenanigans, located in the oldest building in Sewanee Village, is a multi-faceted entertainment venue. It's a favorite local spot for sandwiches, pizza and craft beer. The back room has been recently revamped into a speakeasy called OddFellows with high-end cocktails in the evenings and the upstairs space is often host to regionally touring bands. See what's on their schedule at Shenanigans1974.com.
THE BLUE CHAIR CAFE & TAVERN
The Blue Chair, located in the Sewanee Village on the campus of the University of the South, is an around-the-clock operation. Grab a great cup of coffee with a delicious cookie or muffin from their bakery or meet up with friends over lunch, then play Tuesday Night Trivia with a craft beer or cocktail in the adjacent and very comfortable Tavern. There’s more to discover at TheBlueChair.com.
HANK’S CORNER GRILLE
When Doug and Kalene Hankins started Hank’s Corner Grille in historic downtown Tracy City in 2017, they had no idea they were creating a legend. From their nearly-world-famous Friday Steak Night, Original Soldier Burger and house-smoked Baby Back Ribs to weekend live music and Thursday Night Trivia, there’s always a family-friendly atmosphere and something good cookin’ at Hank’s. To see the latest goings-on at Hanks, visit them at Facebook.com/hankscornergrill.
THE SMOKE HOUSE
A Monteagle fixture since the early 1960s, Jim Oliver’s Smoke House, on US41A just west of I-24, Exit 134, offers live music Friday and Saturday nights, and middays on Sunday at its Patio Grille, a whimsically-decorated tavern, just behind the Smoke House Lodge. It’s a great place to grab a cold beer, good food, and a cozy place to enjoy live music featuring up-and-coming artists and established song writers from the Nashville music scene.
