Seeing the flop of that last thread:

What are the three best bars in Knoxvegas downtown, Old City, Fort Sanders, and the Strip.

I hear good things about Cube in terms of scenery...

True or false?

I like Big Daddy's in the basement of Volunteer Studios. There's never anyone there, so a few friends and I go and play darts and drink.

MacLeod's Irish Pub

I've been going there since the day they opened. I consider Herschel a friend. We've held a couple of Super Bowl parties there. That said, there is absolutely nothing Irish about MacLeod's.

That's an even better reason to never go to Cool Beans than the epicly lame name. The last thing I want are a bunch of mammary challenged bow heads buzzing around me.
