Cheap food and drinks. Waitress wouldn't stop vaping while talking to us and working and everything took a really long time. She was nice enough, but when we asked for the check, she just never came back. We finally went inside and waited in line and asked another waitress for our check. We saw our waitress while waiting in line, but she just gave us a glance and went in the back room. It wasn't that bad, and the drinks and food were decent. There were a lot of really drunk people doing karaoke and it was crowded. Good cheap late night place but don't expect to get good service.

Had to wait over an hour past when my online order was supposed to be ready. The manager was extremely rude & did not even apologize for the excessive wait. Food was not worth it.

Went bar hopping with a group, and we had a ball. Cool environment. It's does smell like cigarettes bc they allow smoking but still a nice vibe.

I just spent the last 9 months in Knoxville for work and Buckethead was my favorite spot. If I wasn't at work, I was at Buckethead. The owner and his wife are so nice and really care about their establishment. The staff are like family now. The patrons are so warm, inviting, and friendly. The food was ALWAYS delicious! I'm not sure if I could pick a favorite food, but you can't go wrong with anything! Lots of football watched, dart tournaments, live bands, trivia on Tuesday, Singo on Wednesday, karaoke on Thursdays, and just a grand time on the weekends. I even had my going away party there and had a blast. It's not good-bye, but I'll see yall later! ♥️

Home of the Knoxville Bills backers. I drive an hour and twenty minutes to watch the Buffalo Bills games. Lots of folks from Buffalo to chat with, wings are decent and they now have Labatts on tap..

First time watching a Bills game here and it was so fun! Definitely a Bills bar on game days! Everyone was so friendly and there we found just a little bit of buffalo in KTown.Food was good, I definitely recommend the LIT (Long Island Tea) whew! Lots of food choices and lots to drink.They have live music sometimes and it is a great little place. Probably the only bar that allows smoking left...we sat outside (that was my only negative).All in all it's a super fun place.

Mean servers & horrible food. Saw them drink behind the bar all night and not serve me and my friends until we asked 3x .

This is not just the best bar/tavern in town, it is the best place in general! Best food, best drinks, and best of all is the service. You can frequently see the owner Troy or the GM Moana taking care of their staff, so the staff can take care of you. Meg, Bird, Matt, Whitney, Jordan, Avery, and Dani are just some of the great people who will make you feel welcome and at home! I can’t say enough nice things about Bucket Head Tavern!
