Scruffy City Family of Businesses
Preservation Pub
Three floors of “Welcome… You’re in Good Company” Southern roots bars at 28 Market Square
An iconic pioneer in the downtown Knoxville Renaissance, Preservation Pub has invested its profits for decades into saving and revitalizing historic buildings in Scruffy City (hence the name, “Preservation” Pub). Pres Pub is regularly voted Knoxville’s Best Bar. With live music nightly, the Magic Beer Tree in the Moonshine Roof Garden, the Market Square Speakeasy, delicious pizzas, a fantastic 3pm-8pm Happy Hour (M-F), and a commitment to the community, it’s easy to see why.
