All I needed would be to rush out the door only to slip and smoosh my camera bag into the soft soil right before hitting the road for another nightlife piece. As I have come to know Knoxville winters to do, the temperatures were rising and the folks were heading indoors for a stiff drink and some live entertainment sustenance. entertainment@knoxnews.com (Matt Ward)Tue, 24 Jan 2012 20:51:00 -0000urn:publicid:www.knoxville.com:news-Story-336749-734526nightlife/newsMatt WardKnoxville, TNBuzzed-about spot The Well already has great vibe Knoxville.combuzzed-about-spot-the-well-already-has-greaturn:publicid:www.knoxville.com:news-Story-336749-734526Change0Usablehttp://www.knoxville.com/news/2012/jan/19/drink-of-the-week-skinny-spiked-cider/?partner=RSSHere's a hot cocktail with only 100 calories that doesn't skimp on flavor, thanks to Voli Orange Vanilla Vodka.

Since having my first child in October, I had for the most part stopped touching my phone while driving so I navigated northwest based on what I knew of the area. Just like I used to do in the olden days where all we had were impossible-to-fold maps that cost $7.99 and vague recollection of how to use the moon as a compass. As I headed down Middlebrook Pike, or as my friend Taylor likes to call it "Middle Earth Pike," I couldn't help but notice I was in Weigel's country. I counted 39 of them in just 12 miles. Perhaps I would run into Mr. Weigel himself tonight bellied up to the bar. Once I got to a safe spot, I turned on my navigation program and landed in the country store-looking parking lot outside Vernon's. entertainment@knoxnews.com (Matt Ward)Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:52:00 -0000urn:publicid:www.knoxville.com:news-Story-334076-734513nightlife/newsMatt WardKnoxville, TNWest Knoxville's Vernon's specializes in beers, BBQ Knoxville.comwest-knoxvilles-vernons-specializes-in-beers-bbqurn:publicid:www.knoxville.com:news-Story-334076-734513Change0Usablehttp://www.knoxville.com/news/2012/jan/11/drink-week-bloody-mary/?partner=RSSA brunch classic!

It's as if some old law on the books designed to provide a stealthy route between Knox and Grainger County for moonshiners prohibits street lights to this day. In times like this only a strong cell signal from one of the big three and a smart phone kept me from driving in circles. entertainment@knoxnews.com (Matt Ward)Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:12:00 -0000urn:publicid:www.knoxville.com:news-Story-332286-734506nightlife/newsMatt WardKnoxville, TNEast Knox County bar Saddlebags a watering hole with history Knoxville.comeast-knox-county-bar-saddlebags-a-watering-holeurn:publicid:www.knoxville.com:news-Story-332286-734506Change0Usablehttp://www.knoxville.com/news/2011/dec/29/drink-of-the-week-midori-melon-ball-drop/?partner=RSSRaise a glass to the start of 2012 with this chic cocktail that combines Midori, Skyy citrus vodka and a splash of St. Germain.

Carousel II presented an interesting conundrum. How could I cover a gay bar in a majority conservative town without upsetting the powers that be for giving it ink or on the flip side without outing anyone that could suffer major reputation damage? Well, the only way I know how, fearlessly and by letting those comfortable with who they are and without social or professional liability be my ambassadors. entertainment@knoxnews.com (Matt Ward)Wed, 28 Dec 2011 18:34:00 -0000urn:publicid:www.knoxville.com:news-Story-331014-734499nightlife/newsMatt WardKnoxville, TNFort Sanders club Carousel II welcomes all for good times Knoxville.comfort-sanders-club-welcomes-all-for-good-timesurn:publicid:www.knoxville.com:news-Story-331014-734499Change0Usable
