About this place CORE Knoxville

CORE Knoxville is listed as an LGBTQ bar on Kingston Pike in Bearden, the commercial strip west of downtown Knoxville. Our data has little beyond the address and a Facebook page, which is the place to check for opening nights and events. Google reviews average 4.4 from about 75 ratings. Bearden is car territory, a 10-minute drive from downtown and the University of Tennessee campus. Tennessee has passed restrictive laws on drag performance in recent years, so if a show is the reason you're going, confirm it's on before you head out.
