Preservation Pub

Stopped in for a drink on our visit to Knoxville. Reasonably priced, not so different from other bars. This place is definitely a divey place. The only downside is that it still allows smoking indoors which makes for a not-so-enjoyable atmosphere for non-smokers. Not saying they should change that, just a warning for others.

Food: N/A Service: Terrible Bartender (Bre) left the bar for 20 minutes, after I had asked her to close my tab. Upon her return when I asked a second time to do the same, she claimed my card was never asked for/taken nor a tab opened. Lastly stated she didn’t have my card. My work colleague and I pressed Bre. After asking for management Bre “poof” found my card - in the tip jar not in the memo card sized square container. We paid cash a departed. Upon my return to our hotel (on a business trip) I see she did charge my account/card even though I paid our bill in cash. Bre is also terrible at servicing the bar as she is grossly lacking product/brand recognition. She was unable to locate beverage product in the bar back. Bre is blonde and taller (albeit I’m not overly tall) & does not highlight this company in a positive light - a cool location and atmosphere. She was also very off putting to a couple of minor women. -> I am not accustomed to writing a review such as this. She kiis either running a racket or is the worst bartender I’ve seen to a fairly easy job. Bad look Vols bad look. Atmosphere: great upon my return if she is still working I will never patronize this location. Laslty, I’ll never recommend this pub to tourists or those who move to Knoxville. Unless, I find out she’s left the bartending industry.

I love this place! They have live music 365 days a year!

Had a get together/good bye party here and it was amazing. There were so many levels and each rooftop had a different theme. The staff were friendly & the music was pretty nice. There is a Fee to get in but it’s not much. You get a pretty cool view of the market square and so on. I would recommend coming here to hang out, see the cool rooftops and views!

A motley crew of people. Lots of fun. Real cool people. It’s like the 1960s again Vegetarian options: I like vegan options.
