About

The Black Dog Knoxville

better than anything you've had before.

Live music. Great Food. Damn good beer.

Black Dog Knoxville is proudly owned and operated by BBN Hospitality, the team behind some of the region’s most beloved concepts, including The Brass Pearl, Stock & Barrel, and Chivo. Known for creating spaces with soul, BBN Hospitality brings together thoughtful design, strong culinary identity, and a deep respect for community. Black Dog is no exception—a place built with intention, personality, and just the right amount of rock-and-roll rebellion.
Add in one of the most crave-worthy brunch menus in Knoxville, an iconic patio with live music during the warmer months, and a space that feels like your coolest aunt’s ’70s basement-- vintage, moody, a little rebellious, and finished with a modern edge. Every detail is intentional, every vibe dialed in, and every visit feels like an encore.

🧀We have absolutely legendary cheese pulls.

We use @grandecheesefoodservice cheese on our pizzas and cheese bread for one simple reason: it’s the real deal. It’s the kind of cheese pizza people recognize by name, and once you’ve had it, it’s hard to settle for anything else.

The music’s playin, the beer’s cold, and the cheese is Grande.

This is how Knoxville’s favorite pizza spot does it. 🍕
