Tailgating at Tennessee: Local eateries that are must tries for game weekends

Related Topics: Tennessee

Tailgating is a broad term and takes many forms. Traditionally, it involves a spot at a parking garage, a tent, music, coolers, a grill, food, alcohol, cornhole boards, alcohol, footballs for the kids to toss around and probably more alcohol.

But that’s not the only way to tailgate, especially if you’re heading to a road game in a city/ state/ area that you’re unfamiliar with and have no local friends to join at an aforementioned type scenario.

Luckily, if you or you and your partner come to Knoxville, there’s a wonderful assemblage of places to go to get your pregame or postgame eat and drink on, with most of them a free, short walk or an expensive, short Uber away from the stadium.
