Boyd's Jig and Reel

When every my wife and I are in town, we stop in here for some beer and their Fish N Chips.  The slab of fish that you get (consumes the majority of your plate) is fried to perfection and laid over a bed of fries, served with tartar sauce sprinkled with dill herbs.  It brings us back every time!

Only been once, but the bartenders were great, as were the drinks. I will be back.

I've been holding out on my review of Jig and Reel because I really can't wrap my head around the place. When I first went over a year ago, I kept thinking really kilts? I get the place is Scottish, but how cheesy. I think the place was initially too themed to be enjoyable.  The people and bands were just really into the Scottish culture, and I was just really into a good beer.

Now I'm in a different camp. For Knox locals this place to me is like a Pres Pub in Old City. The really good food and beer brings every kind of person inside. I always end up running into a hodge podge of people and that leads to a great time. This place is also weird enough that when my bud decides to just hop on the piano on stage and play R&B hits no one bothers to care or listen. It's a fun place and refuge from the club scene that can be so, so bad not to mention mundane in Old City.
