Peter Kern Library

Full disclosure, we did not try the food here. This speakeasy is pretty dope. The sliding door of the wall of art and the entrance is pretty neat. The cocktails were very unique and delicious along with a great whiskey selection. The staff was very nice and attentive and the decor of the place is very unique and cool. The place is very lively but not too noisy.

Didn't get the chance to even try a drink... after sitting down and waiting in a room of 20 to be greeted the server took our drink order. Well I guess sitting at a table was a mistake. After 20 minutes with no drink or water i look around. No table has a drink ...but the group of six at the bar arriving in street clothes were served two rounds already. Horrible... the vault is 2 minutes away walking with more room and food If you are looking for a place that is nice despite the potential don't go here. No dress code... no service... other then the sliding bookcase... awful

A real life speak easy! This whole experience was so neat! And the drinks ..I had no idea what most of the ingredients were but we picked some delicious ones! 10/10 recommend!

Pretentious in all the wrong ways. Waited 30 min to wait 20 min on a server to take an order. Ended up at the bar where a bartender took the drink order while the server was nowhere to be found. Honestly disappointing. The only thing that saved this place is the atmosphere is quite nice. Service, not so much.

The Library is 10/10 one of my favorite bars in Knoxville. If there's a wait - worth it. Inside there are great bar tenders, amazing drinks, and very casual unique seating (sometimes community seating). Hotel guests do get preference, wo just be prepared (don't be a Karen about it). Bouncer guy is great, too, so tip well.

A hidden gem in Knoxville! I’ve been going here for years and always enjoy my experience every time I go. We went this week to celebrate my birthday, and we had the best time! I ordered the Holly Golightly, and it is definitely one of my favorites. Not only are the cocktails great, but the vibe is amazing. My favorite speakeasy in Knoxville!

Loved the Wicked pop up and trying to find my way in the door! The drink was fantastic! Can’t wait to go back on a non Wicked night and try more!

Amazing space with bartenders that actually know their craft! Can't recommend this more! This is for those that really love hand crafted drinks, so if you are looking for a bud-light, don't bother. But if you would love a true whisky sour, this is your place.
