...have any good suggestions for where to watch the BCS Championship Game? For the two years that I have now been here, I haven't really ventured out to watch any games anywhere. I think I may Monday night, but not sure where to go. West Knoxville would be preferable.

Thanks for any ideas!

Try Bailey's Sports Bar. You can run down Parkside all the way past 140/Pellesippi down to where Fowler's is on your left at the signal & make a right. At the stop sign turn left. Smoking is allowed in the in case you care; others will be smoking fine cigars. From best I recall where you guys moved to, you will never have to hit the Pike or 40 and it's only just about a mile from your house.

Oh, and win it for Miss Auburn 1951; my late mother will be guiding the team.

I'm not a fan of Bailey's-- it smells awful (IMO) and I'm not a huge fan of the general clientele. Knoxville has a real shortage of good sports bars.

I haven't tried Skybox on Gay St yet but I'm itching to go. I'm hoping it'll be cleaner and with better food than places like Bailey's. Of course that's downtown and not out west, but I'm not much help . . . I don't like any of the places to watch sports out west.

I've been wanting to try Skybox as well. If anyone goes, give a report. Kthx!

Well, I may be intrigued enough to go and try it out for the game.  There doesn't seem to be anything good on the West side; all other recs that I've been given were the standard Buffalo Wild Wings type of places.  Has anyone been to Doc's on Kingston Pike?  That was another one I heard about.

Doc's was Ray's ESG until recently, and Kingston Alley before that. I haven't been since the most recent change but Ray's and KA were AWFUL, so I haven't had much motivation to try it.

As I recall you are in the Cedar Bluff area, correct? 

There is a place at the Hardin Valley exit off of Pellissippi Parkway called Double Dogs.  They have about a million big screens and I'm sure each of them will be tuned to the NCG.  The menu is good - I like their wings, and as they name might suggest they have many varieties of hot dogs, along with other burger and sandwich options.  Good selection of craft and domestic beers. 

I enjoy going there.  Nice atmosphere, and there will be people of all ages watching.  Usually fans from a lot of different schools there, too. 

I recommend Emeril's house. :biggrin:

In Farragut, but close enough to that exit. I had forgotten about that place.  Been there for lunch and liked the food.  May have to try it out.

I am having a watching party??????

Are you bringing the beer?

The best sports bar I went to in the last year was the Tilted Kilt in Indianapolis just after attending the Indy 500 and just prior to going to the Pacers-Heat game.  That may have just been part of the fun of that day rubbing off, but they had great food and atmosphere.  One of my best sports bar experiences ever.   They are kind of a Hooters knockoff, just so you know....but yes, plenty of attractive wimmen's running around.   :thumbup:

So if they have one of those in Knoxville, go for it.  Unless your wife will be coming with you.   :naughty:
