Great experience. I went two days back to back and had lots of fun. Drinks are reasonably priced and tasty.

Knox Box was the PERFECT venue for my partner's 60th birthday celebration! We reserved it from 7-9pm on a SAT evening and had SOOOO much fun! Everything was awesome - from the friendly and helpful bartenders to the venue itself. I've never been to Knox Box, so I was crossing my fingers that everything would turn out well, and it exceeded my expectations. I'm so glad that I was able to reserve it for 2 hours - we used every bit of that. We did have some issues with party-crashers, but Vance (and a particularly diligent friend) were quick to move them along. I can't wait for another excuse to have a party.

Had a great time here. Got to sing about five songs in 2 hours. back in Seattle where I'm from, You're lucky to get two songs in a whole night. We'll definitely be back again. Great bartenders and very friendly atmosphere. I just love Knoxville!

I didn’t eat at all but the service and atmosphere was incredible!! My first time in Knoxville and ended up being a Wednesday.. didn’t have high expectations coming out of a nuclear conference at 6pm. Went to three other places and they were dead and not rude but not welcoming. Hayden was unbelievable. Tended bar to probably 75 people while passing the microphone to karaoke goers of all ages. The man never skipped a beat. Wood bar too underground, almost hidden yet the bar had the perfect amount of tenants while every other bar was empty. This is strictly due to great service, great prices, and the best karaoke. Every time I come to Knoxville this will be the spot. All Of clients loved it, they danced, they jammed and lots of love. There was a wedding, a work conference, and two 21 year old birthdays. Any other bar they’d butt heads. And he made us a twisted family. Knox box over everything. SWEET CAROLINE BAH BAH BAH

Everytime I’ve went has been a GREAT experience. When I went the first time, I went on my 21st birthday in December and the bartenders were AMAZING as well as everyone else. I’ve NEVER felt judged nor disrespected here. When I decided to sing I was nervous that I would be judged but I wasn’t! Everyone was so nice! Even sang with a nice customer who I didn’t even know! The bartenders make it top tier for sure. I never once had a bad experience with them.

I had an absolute blast at Knox Box Karaoke! Their unique karaoke setup makes the experience so much more fun and personal. Instead of performing on a big stage, they hand out the microphones, so you get to stay with your group and sing right from your table. It’s such a great vibe and makes everyone feel more comfortable and involved. The Orange Crush cocktail was incredible – super refreshing and perfectly mixed. The bartenders were also fantastic – quick, friendly, and always on top of things. Plus, requesting songs was super easy, and I never had to wait long to get on the list. The location on Gay Street is perfect, and parking at the State Street Garage was free and super convenient. Overall, an amazing experience that I’ll definitely be coming back for. Highly recommend for a fun night out with friends!

We had a super fun night with friends here. We were able to reserve an hour early just to ourselves. Bartenders were great and the sound is just right. I highly recommend this place.
