Twisted Oaks Is A Saloon In Tennessee That's Off The Beaten Path But So Worth The Journey

The idea of a “saloon” may seem old school and historic, the kind of place Wyatt Earp frequented and folks gathered when the dust on the plains got a bit too wild. Here in Tennessee, the idea of a classic saloon is actually still alive and well at Twisted Oaks in Dowelltown. Sure, it’s off the beaten path, but just take a look at that exterior! The folks inside are kind and quirky, and you can always expect a good time when you walk through those wooden double doors. If you’re looking for a little bit of fun here in the heart of Volunteer State, then we just found it for you.

Inside, the rustic-inspired interior only adds to the experience. The folks at Twisted Oaks state, "We hate to classify ourselves as a restaurant or bar because we are so much more. Yes, we have a full-service bar and amazing food, but we also offer an atmosphere and experience that cannot be described."
