Gatlinburg is known as an extremely family friendly place, with lots of things to do for all ages. A place where children have numerous options to keep them entertained. While families are extremely important to our area we do understand that there will be times when you leave the kids at home or don’t have any children to begin with! There will also be special occasions that are being celebrated during your time spent here in the mountains that will be for adults only. Our area does not have the reputation for a thriving night life, but if you look you can find where to go for an adult themed evening of enjoyment. With that in mind, here is a list of places that offer a more adult experience, someplace to go to celebrate or unwind.
6 places that each offer a spot to kick back and enjoy a night on the town are:
