Loved this place even more than I thought I would! I expected a fun time and Fly by Night delivered and then some. The staff can shake a mean cocktail and the inviting, relaxed atmosphere made us want to stick around awhile. The throwback music...Read More

If you're looking to step back in time but keep modern service standards, this is the place! You'll find delightful decor, delicious drinks, and tasty bar treats (like a shockingly well-priced cheese board). While the "Rusty Nail" was more of a Scotch Old Fashioned, it was still...Read More

I’m from Nashville and this place made me feel at home not just literally cause I grew up with a tv just like the one in the main seating area but just overall very professional and clean. Drinks are also pricey for Knoxville but worth...Read More

One of the coolest themed bars you'll find in Knoxville. A very very 70's vibe, espec with the disco balls and retro decor. Crazy fun drinks menu. Food was good, a little on the light side. Service was excellent and yes, I'll be...Read More

There is absolutely nowhere else like Fly By Night in Knoxville. The love dedicated to the craft and design of the drinks, music, and decor is incredible. Everything here is extremely relaxed and very exclusive to 70s aesthetic. The owners and staff are also very...Read More

Vibe is spot on! Drinks are creative, tasty, and about on par for price. Servers are fantastic! The place is set up nicely for conversation with three different spots for small groups to gather, but it's way too damn loud to actually hear anybody. We...Read More

Coolest 70s themed bar, hands down. We then quickly moved out some tables , seats, and couches. Brought in some speakers, lights, and mics, and transformed it into a nightclub. We then watched The New Romantics and SDH_______ provide some killer sets. It was truly...Read More

Fly By Night hosted a private party for me and the experience was exceptional! Two (!) ladies kept a very tight ship managing the place with open bar for just over 100 people for 4 hours. They went out of their way to make a special...Read More

When you describe a 70’s bar, this is it! Zemene will take care of you at the bar as well! Make sure to try out some of the specialty cocktails as well as the bologna sandwich.

The spiced hot chocolate is my ghost of Christmas past, present, and future baby. Big fan. You don't experience Knoxville unless you experience the wonder that is both Fly by Night and Tern Club.

Fly By Night is the best cocktail spot in Knoxville, hands down. The owner deeply cares about what she is doing and puts genuine effort and kind-hearted energy into the entire space. Great for drinks with friends, a date night or a solo treat yourself...Read More

Visiting Knoxville with a big group of people, we were directed to this iconically interesting little joint. They have a 70’s theme that transports you back to yesteryear… I drank the night away along with my entire crew and we had VIP style service! My...Read More

This is one of those places where I half expect staff to be a little standoffish... because *surely* it's too cool for me. Happily, the staff here are among the kindest and most welcoming in town! The drinks are phenomenal, the vibes are phenomenal, and...Read More
