Location!

Great location for exploring Knoxville! Wish we could have gotten into the speakeasy :( We waiting more than 1/2 hour in a cold, dimly lit hallway with no seating and finally gave up. Also would loved to have had a lobby or place to sit and chat with the other couple with us. All in all a 9/10 and would stay again
