The Well

Stopped in here to hear some bands when I was visiting Knox… WOW, I really liked this bar! Gina was a awesome bartender, who really created a great atmosphere. Drinks were totally affordable and even though I wouldn’t call it the PRETTIEST bar, at least there wasn’t hipster hegemony.

I went to the well for the first time last night. I’m from out of town and I had a wonderful time. Prices were very reasonable and the owner is a sweetheart. The music was great! Definitely check this place out ! Brian from Hampton Va

Love this place !!

I love the feel of this bar. From the previous upscale bar called 4620, it has now transformed to The Well, a cool dive bar.
If you remember the Spot (which used to be by World Futon, and close to the only Chick-​Fil-​A around on the Bearden side of town) the owner has now opened The Well as her «The Spot» replacement.
It is a non-​smoking bar, that has a smoking room, and always has live music. Friday night there was a fun Country Rock Band (you know the one you would find out in the woods while one strums their fiddle and the other plays the harmonica… you get the picture). It was really fun and entertaining to be around.
Music changes every night as the doors open at 4:00. Some nights there might be more than one band that plays. If you are an artist its definitely a cool place to play. If you want to hear live music this could totally be your new FAV! Some nights there are cover charges and some nights there is no cover.
They offer a small menu with sandwiches and other appetizers like queso and chips. All together I think this place is pretty darn cool so you should check it out.
With a variety of people, music, food, liquor and beer you can’t ask for a much cooler dive bar.
Cheers & Enjoy!

The Well is a nice space with a great atmosphere. I played some music there recently. Owner/​bartender Gina’s warmth and generosity stood out among the many venue owners I’ve met, and seemed to influence the generally friendly and inviting atmosphere of this downstairs dive bar. The sound onstage wasn’t too great but when I was in the audience to hear the other bands, the sound out there was very good. The beer selection was not huge but there were several yummy options, and the same goes for the food menu. Everything was run professionally and with good humor, the crowd was big and friendly, and my burger was delicious. A fine addition to the Knoxville music scene!
