About this place Suttrees High Gravity Tavern

Suttrees High Gravity Tavern is a welcoming gay bar located on South Gay Street in Knoxville. Whether you're a local or visiting the area, you'll find a relaxed atmosphere that combines several great reasons to stop by: a thoughtfully curated beer selection, quality food, and entertainment. The venue is known for its excellent ramen, which stands out as a specialty here—a nice feature if you're looking for more substantial fare than typical bar snacks. Beyond the kitchen, the space includes a fun arcade setup with plenty of pinball machines and classic video games, making it easy to spend an evening enjoying games and drinks with friends. Knoxville's gay bar scene offers LGBTQ+ visitors a genuine neighborhood spot rather than just a nightlife destination. At this venue, you can expect a laid-back vibe where you can settle in for a while, whether that means exploring the beer list, trying the ramen, or challenging yourself (or your friends) at the arcade. It's the kind of place designed for hanging out, not just passing through.

Crazy how I’ve lived here my whole life but never been here. Went the other day with my spouse. Had ramen, beer, and some cocktails. Everything was SO delicious. We sat at the bar. Bartenders were extremely friendly. And even the customers around us were so nice. Safe to say we will be back here.

Great selection of flavoured draft beers. Given the option of sampling by the friendly bar staff. Quiet when we visited, although it was a weekday evening

This use to be really good. But between the ramen not being good anymore. Not being able to get a full pint pour on a 6% beer but still expected to pay $8 dollars a beer. Which is more than the brewery’s around here. And when trying to eat my ramen hearing how sick the person who made it is. I miss the old dive bar sutrees. I assume there’s a new owner. Who ruined this place. Used to be fully packed on a Friday night. Never seen so many empty tables there before. Also getting rid of half of your arcade games was a bad mistake.

Used to love this place 8 years ago. Stopped going once the vibe went from dive bar to children’s playground and the food quality started to suffer as well. Haven’t been in over two years. Tonight, I had a craving for their veg-o-ramen. Decided to take a chance. Ordered the veg-o-ramen, but didn’t get told they were out of mushrooms until I got my bowl and dug around for my favorite ingredient. Had to go ask and that’s when they said they were out of mushrooms. It would have been nice to know before I ordered it. Not worth the 12 dollars without the mushrooms. Will NOT be back. Thanks for nothing. Another Knoxville bar bites the dust.

Chill environment. Not usually a fan of live music but the artist they had was very talented. Bartenders were kind and personable, made it a point to leave a smile on every face they met. Highly recommend

We just had the best time after a long shift. We just needed some good food and good beer, and great service. That’s exactly what we got here. The sweet bartender made sure we had everything we needed. Even when I needed a Togo box she stopped eating her dinner and got it for me. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

I'm not sure what these people eat, but this was the most bland food I've ever eaten. $60 down the drain for some water noodles with cabbage and crockpot pork. They're hoping the spice will burn your taste buds so bad that you won't notice the lack of flavor. Service was also dismissive and rude.
