Ken's Tavern

This will always be my favorite college bar. A little room nestled into the Tennessee strip, a dirty, nasty, sticky, smelly place. Yet, I go about once a week. GREAT DRINK SPECIALS!!

They have two nights a week where it is ladies night. 10 dollars all you can drink or girls. They have great deals on beer pitchers, wine, and the ever so deadly sake bomb. Now, their sake bombs arent for enjoyment but rather......to get really messed up off of. You can probably have about 8 in a row (for the queasy person) and feel fine until it all hits you at once! Never fear though, because if you feel like you are going to fall over, I can bet it is so crowded you wont make it to the floor. there are tvs to watch the games and dart boards.

The bathrooms are always an issue. Obviously there is always a line for the girls because there is only one toilet. The guys bathroom doesnt have a door so you better enjoy watching guys urinate from behind....

Let's be honest, it is gross in Kens but, I always know people when I go, I always have fun, I always outdrink the bartendar :), and I always scream at the top of my lungs the signature song of kens "Sweet Caroline". It is bound to play once a night.

Wow.  This is the epitome of a college bar.  Absolutely packed.  You best not mind getting drinks spilled on you at regular intervals.  You also best not wear sandals cus these floors are nas-T.

Great drink prices though.  Get your own mug - they'll put it on wall and fill it for a $1 whenever you drop by.  I think you need to earn it though ... apparently a status symbol.

If you're over 28 you'll stand out like a sore thumb - I speak from experience.  Booyah.

Parent's weekend, going out for a night on the town with a group of girls and other parent's.

Our large group left the ale house after drinking for four hours, and decided to come to the main strip and go here. We walk up one flight of stairs in the back of the building. Thoughts are going through my head, "like are you kidding me." I am talking old building, non descript other than writting on the walls, ceiling, and oh let's not discuss the bathroom issue.

The not so friendly bouncer checks our ID's bands are wrist and we go in. It is like walking into a herd of animals. Dart boards were very cool, watching all the parent's trying to play. Pitchers of beer and sake bombs are all they serve......plastic beer pitchers, ya know the kind that says "Bud Light" on them. $8 with plasic see through glasses. LOL I am dieing at this point. My feet are sticking to the floor from the beer spill's everywhere.

Our large group was just drinking, talking, cutting up, meeting plenty of new people. Young cute little freshman trying to hit on the cougars. Fun, fun place. Nasty, stinky, like a big beer mosh pit with elbows constantly bumping into you. Girls and guys getting so drunk and acting crazy, yes even getting sick.......

I overlooked all the bad quality's and decided to just have fun with our group. That we did, til wee hours.......so much fun...this place is where all the locals hang out.

When we were heading back to the hotel all I could think about was "I need a shower" HA HA, daughter laughing hysterically at me, because I felt so dirty.....Dirty but had a blast....will be back on next visit.....with old dirty shoes ....cool fun place........
