Did you know there’s a Christmas-themed bar in Tennessee? The Volunteer State might shock you when it comes to all of its festive activities come the latter part of the year. Though it may be known for its summery brilliance in the mountains and those autumn colors, it’s the wintertime that owns the holiday season, and Tennessee sure knows how to show up. The holiday theme at Knoxville’s Sapphire Bar gives an indulgent edge to a beautiful space, and it’s bound to be a brand new favorite.
Sapphire: Fine Food + Fancy Drinks is known for its decadent ambiance and incredible menu. Located in the heart of Knoxville, Tennessee, it caters to locals and tourists alike with its approachable, beautiful aesthetic and great hospitality.
Come the holiday season, though, it absolutely transforms. Sapphire becomes a truly holiday-centric space, providing beautifully crafted drinks and meals galore to its happy patrons. Every holiday season, "Miracle on Gay Street" takes over the bar and hosts a Christmas-themed pop-up cocktail bar.
Sapphire is located in a historic building that once operated as a jewelry store. It opened in 2005 with the goal of providing a stylish, upscale experience to the folks in downtown Knoxville. In the almost 15 years since, it's proven to live up to this original dream in spades. With the addition of a Christmas experience, it becomes everything festive and fun you've been looking for.
Come with friends, come with family. There's an award-winning bar program, a decadent wine selection and a whole menu of contemporary American eats available.
Sure, it may be a bar, but the fine fare on the menu is some of the best in the city. Ingredients are locally sourced as much as they can be, in order to support local farms and makers. Come indulge in truffle fries topped with Tennessee white cheddar or hot chicken sliders served with their Brown Sugha hot sauce and a dill pickle on the side.
There's really no way to choose the "perfect" cocktail at Sapphire because every single one of them is perfectly crafted to order. A seasonally rotating menu makes sure that you have all sorts of flavors throughout the year. This year at the Miracle on Gay Street pop-up, you can order cocktails like Run Run Rudolph, made with gin and mulled wine puree, the Koala-La La La, La La La La with butterscotch rye, or the pear brandy-centric And a Partridge in a Pear Tree.
