A tavern-style neighborhood bar and restaurant.

An excerpt from a 2010 Knoxville.com Nightlife review of Sidestreet Tavern:

Unlike many venues, Sidestreet's patrons are more focused on hanging out and chatting. Sidestreet has several TVs prominently displayed, but none are particularly central, and the sound system usually isn't hooked up to the TVs anyway. You can still watch the game, but you might not hear the commentary.

Instead, groups gather at tables to actually sit around and talk. One of my least favorite aspects of other bars is that they do everything possible to distract you from the people around you. When you have to shout over a Kid Rock song or college basketball, well, it takes away from the fun of going to a bar with friends.

Sidestreet is one of the only places where I've ended up joining someone else's party for the evening, as we bought each other shots all night long. My friend Brandon and I made a point one evening to talk to every single person in the bar. And not only was it welcomed, but many people ended up hanging out with us for quite some time.
