I came later at night to meet some friends that were already there for hours. I ordered some wings and a pitcher of beer to share with my wife. The wings were horrible. They were cold, obviously they were done for 10+ minutes before they arrived. Was not impressed by the wings, but they did have a good beer selection, but some were really pricey for draft pitchers. Service & food was unmemorable.
Review Source:I've been meaning to write this review for awhile since returning to California from Tennessee. I went to Bearden Hill Fieldhouse when visiting my hometown of Knoxville. I was happy to find this location in West Knoxville had been converted into a cool pub with an awesome selection of brews (probably over 50 or so) from all over the world. Plus, the service was really good. The bartenders and waiters were quick and friendly. Finally, the food was tasty pub yum at a reasonable price. All of these things, coupled with the fact that it is owned locally (not some corporate conglomerate so popular in West Knoxville), make me give this place five stars. Buy local. Imbibe global.
Review Source:Decent drink menu with a number of craft beers on tap and a large selection of bottled beers as well as a full bar. They recently simplified their menu. Everything I've had was good, particularly the thai shrimp sandwich. They also have a number of unusual and tasty sides, my favorite is the roasted roots. They have trivia which is what I have visited the bar/restaurant.
Review Source:This place is GREAT for drinks. The bar has several international and domestic beers including a long list of ciders. There are also 9 million TVs, so you can sit in any place and watch a game. I was there to watch UT play Florida, and I was able to watch the tragedy from every angle. It was a sad night for the Vols.
I only ate fries, but my friend ordered an obviously straight from the freezer chicken finger basket. They looked dry and very bowling alley foodish. He didn't enjoy them, but did finish them. So if you go, I would say eat first and then arrive here for the TVs, atmosphere, and beer.
We went last night and we were really disapointed. We started out with a couple of beers that really should have been colder but I can live with that. We then moved on to some ceso dip that came nuked with a burn film on top. It was actually okay. We went down hill from here. My wife got the Won Ton salad. It came with no won tons and were told "Oh yeah, were out of those." Â The chicken appeared to be boiled and pulled and not like any salad we have bought before. My wife gave up half way in. Â I got a blue cheese burger that came on a Kroger bun and, unlike other places, was much smaller than the bun. Â The burger must have been sitting for a while as the bottom bun was wet and soggy--maybe from being so thin to begin with. An them on to the mac and cheese--oh the humanity!! It was straight from the Robor Orr Cisco can an nuked in the oven or microwave. They added some crouton crumbles and nuked it again. It litteraly had no flavor. Â The wife noted "it your not eating mac and cheese than it must really be bad!". We paid our money,said never again and hit the road to drink at the Casual Pint. If you want a quick beer, this will do. We wished we would have checked YELP before we went. Lesson learned! Â Note to staff: Flavor your meat. Don't cook it bland and some spice to it after the fact. Maybe watch a few episodes of Resturant Impossible to get some tips on flavoring your food.
Review Source:Tried it three times. Nice beer selection. Wings weren't particularly good. Fried Pickles and Rings (banana peppers) were pretty good. A super large serving.
But I won't be back. They are currently running a grand opening special for the entire month with happy hour prices all the time. They advertise all domestic draft beers for $2. Was in a couple of weeks ago and got a Fat Tire. Nice. Was in today and they were out of Fat Tire (and a few others) and so I ordered a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. When the bill came it was $3 rather than $2. I asked the waiter and he checked with the bartender who maintained that  it was not a "domestic" but rather a craft. Last time I checked California (home of Sierra Nevada Brewery) was still in the United States and hence its beers are, by definition, domestic. The signage didn't say anything about good domestic beers being excluded. Bad management.
Here is my opinion:
Strength's:
1. Location
2. Full Bar
3. Large Menu
4. Pool Tables
Weaknesses:
1. It's extremely bright with neon lights all up in your face
2. It's wide open with no where to hide
3. It has the feel of a Game Room met Cici's pizza
4. It looks like it belongs on Campus, next to Tin Roof or Cool Beans
I have found myself here several times because of the location (It used to be called Nature's Pantry - a health food store). Â There are plenty of TVs if that's what you are looking for. Â The beer is always cold and the staff is friendly. Â You can decide what you think, for me I'm just in the middle.
Cheers & Enjoy!
This place has a couple modest good points and several glaring problems, all of which can easily be addressed.
First, the good aspects of the Bearden Hill Fieldhouse. It has a great location. It sits a top Bearden Hill in West Knoxville with easy access from Kingston Pike and I-40. It has plenty of parking. The interior is fine, a little garish; but that is more or less expected at a sports bar. There are plenty of large TVs, pool tables and some video arcades. It also has an extensive beer selection. Beer boutiques are en vogue in Knoxville at the moment, with several opening in the area recently. This is a good trend and Fieldhouse is a good option for those tired of Bearden Beer Market or the Casual Pint.
The menu is different for a sports bar, to say the least. Interesting dishes dot the menu, such as Cornish Game Hen. Unfortunately this comes at the expense of the more traditional sports bar foods, but there is a decent selection that should meet most palates. I have eaten their twice, selecting the salmon and cajun chicken sandwich. I was not impressed with either. Both were lukewarm and lacked flavor. I really did not care for the glaze on the salmon. The Asparagus side dish was cold and wilted. I will admit the garlic knot appetizer was pretty tasty and my friend loved the game hen. The burgers looked pretty good as well. I believe the problem with food temperature comes from some hiccups in service, which hopefully will be ironed out before too long.
In general, this is a good place for West Knoxville. Anything that breaks the monotony of eating out west is a good thing. However, there are some major problems that need to be addressed before I will return for food service. As a place to enjoy a beer and watch a game, I recommend Fieldhouse. I am sure I will return to enjoy a late night beer after a basketball or football game. Give it time to work out its problems in food service and it will be a great addition to the Bearden area.
