The local pro soccer team had a watch party there last month during the World Cup and there was well over 1,000 people there. I guess they got a permit that day because there was a lot of outdoor drinking going on in the square.

Pretty cool area of downtown Knox.
They've managed to keep the bums out of it for the most part.

Oliver Hotel is a fantastic place to stay.

I hope they didn't pay some agency to come up w/ that generic name that could be in any town USA.

Having lived in Louisiana my entire life, it blows my mind that most places outside of LA don't allow you to walk around outside with a drink in your hand.

Market Square and downtown Knoxville in general is very nice. My goodness, if you have a "sweet tooth" go to the Phoenix Pharmacy around the corner on Gay Street.

I have been to a few games in Knoxville and have never been hassled about an open container anywhere appropriate. If you don’t act like an a-hole, they don’t bother you.

Came here to say exactly this.
You don’t realize how lame everywhere else is until that very moment.
