The Downtown Grill & Brewery is located on historic Gay Street, about one block north of the Tennessee Theatre. The Brewery has a rich history, told not only by its well-worn hardwood floors, but through its pictures of Knoxville gone by that dress the walls. With its copper and mahogany bar, tempting menu, and fine craft-brewed beers, it’s a relaxing setting to explore Knoxville’s flavorful past.
