Rogers - Our Neighborhood Dive Bar
About This Spot
Stepping into Rogers - Our Neighborhood Dive Bar feels like slipping into a well-worn, welcoming corner of Knoxville where familiarity and music fill the air. The pace here invites you to slow down, nestle into the lively hum of conversation, and soak up the unpretentious vibe that only a genuine local haunt can offer. Whether the warmth is coming from a stage where talented musicians share their blues, or from the easy camaraderie between regulars and newcomers sharing a laugh, the atmosphere is comfortably vibrant without ever feeling rushed.
This is the kind of place where the soundtrack of life shifts effortlessly—from casual sports talk to the soulful interlude of a live jam night. The bar buzzes with a steady energy, one that encourages connection whether you’re here to cheer on your favorite team or simply unwind after a long day. The bartenders greet you by name or quickly learn it, mixing drinks with a personal touch that feels more like friends serving friends than a transactional exchange.
Food and drink here blend seamlessly with the overall feel of the evening. You might find yourself savoring a perfectly crafted cocktail, or sharing a simple hotdog with friends, the humble fare matching the easygoing nature of the place. If you prefer to bring in your own snacks or pick something nearby to complement your drink, that’s perfectly fine too — the focus is on enjoying the moment, whatever shape it takes.
Outside, a smoking patio offers a breath of fresh air and a chance for quieter conversation, framing the bar’s steady flow with a bit of calm openness. It’s clear this is a place where the people are as much the draw as the music and drinks—a gathering spot that lives by its community spirit and the small but meaningful moments shared among locals.

If you are looking for a place to watch and talk sports, this is the place. The staff and patrons are outgoing. The drinks are good. Bathrooms could use some attention throughout the night. You know what happens when people drink a lot of beer.

Met here for a meet and greet event the first night of our corporate conference on Sunday evening. It was a great overall experience, good food, great drinks, atmosphere was spot on, and great co-workers to talk with. Roger's Place is the kind of neighborhood bar I love.

I attended a friendly blues jam on a Tues night ! The regular players were quite talented, passionate musicians. Check it out! I'll be going again!

Rogers is a must visit place in Knoxville. Best people, great bands, and some reasonably priced cocktails!

Super awesome locals bar that’s been around for a long time! Great service, cool vibe and live music. Our bartender, Jeff, was very nice and makes great cocktails. Some of the guys got the hotdog and said they were delicious. I went next door to International Delicacies and picked up some cheese and salami to share since I wasn’t feeling like having the ‘dog. And yes, you can smoke but on the patio… Will definitely hit this place more often now that we’ve been!

We went to Roger’s and they have excellent music! The band Throwin’ Stones was playing. The menu was written on a board outside and there was no paper menu inside. It doesn’t have all of the items they have on the board either so you either have to know or ask. We got the pretzels and cheese and they were yummy. I appreciate that they give you enough cheese for all of the pretzel bites and the pretzels were nice and warm. You can definitely smell the smoke from outside even though smoking is not allowed inside.

We hosted a social event for our coworkers at Rogers Place, and it was a great experience! The venue has a quaint charm, and the bar staff kept everyone entertained. The atmosphere was lively and fun—perfect for a night out
