Welcome back Race Fans!  We at Peace Tree and the rest of Knoxville are excited to have you back in town for another fabulous Nationals Week.  We will be open each day and night starting Thursday, August 4-Sunday August 14.  Stop by and see all that has changed since last year.  We will be tapping an awesome Kolsch style beer that is light and refreshing but full of flavor, just what you need to refresh after long nights of racing action.  We have six other styles available as well, including our award winning Blonde Fatale!

If you haven’t visited us before, we’d love to see you.  We offer a cool (looking and feeling!) taproom that is a great place to catch up with friends old and new.  Order in some food or just snack on pub mix and some great local cheeses from our cooler.  And if you want to learn more about beer magic, ask for a tour!

Of course the main action is out by the race track but be sure to check out our downtown!  We have some great little gems plus you will really experience the hometown hospitality that’s made Knoxville famous.    Below is a list of some of our favorite spots…Be sure to tell them we sent you! 

Buying

The Next Chapter-a beautiful new and used book and gift store on the southwest corner of the square, very knowledgable staff with great recommendations for a vacation read!

Art 101-An art gallery of local (serious) artists, gorgeous things on Fourth just south of Main.

The Chic Boutique-Recycled women’s wear that looks great but won’t break the bank, north side of square.

Coffee Connection-Wonderful place on the north side of the square to get the day started with a strong coffee and snack

Hometown Meats and Deli-Get in line to have a sandwich (or wrap or salad or taco, mmmm choices) made or pick up some meat for grilling, Grab a cold Peace Tree Root Beer to round out your meal!  On Robinson, half a block West of the square.

Taso’s makes great pizza and a wide variety of menu items on the Southwest corner of the square.  The Rueben pizza is a PTB favorite!

Rib Shack opened just in time for the races last year and has quickly become a fan favorite!  Our Red Rambler tastes great with smokey BBQ.
