Pilot Light in Knoxville
Description
Cool venue for indie music!
I like hamsters just look at that smile on his face
The Pilot Light is listed by Natalie Mering of Weyes Blood as her favorite independent music venue (see pitchfork.com).
MoreThis place is a hipster hole. Id give it five stars if I was a hipster, to be fair.
MoreIt was incredible stuffy and I feel insulted that I paid 5 dollar for the performers (used very looselyto just sit on the ground and read from their phones or just stare at their laptop. I get that performing is hard but that just kind of sucked. Sorry. Sorry.
MoreBecause its the worst.
Intimate authentic venue
GREAT dive bar. All the beer selection you need. Went for a stand up comedy show. Hilarious and conscientious staff. Def worth the stop for a quick beer and some funny stories.
MoreHad a great time at Cash Only Comedy night!!
If you value your safety, please stay away from this location.ANTIFA organize here.
MoreAvoid this place, they give platforms to open terrorist groups
Amazing place
Good bands, weird bands, unique sounds. Always a good time to be had at Pilot Light.
MoreGood to see places supporting local bands.
Local music here is always the best. Great place, a staple of the knox music scene.
MoreThis is just the best. Have cash and be ready to dance. Dont have a panic attack for no reason like I did thatll really ruin your night.
MoreMy favorite anything club ever. If youre into metal, soul, dance, puppet shows, comedy, punk, rock, you name a weird genre then this is the perfect spot.
MoreMake no mistake about it. This place is a dive; and proud of it! That said, its the Y-Combinator of music. Pick your genre, if somebodys pushing the envelope on any musical style, youre more likely to come across it here than any other venue in the South-East.
MoreHow is this place listed under comedy clubs?
In heaven everything is fine.
A rare gem where genuine music is allowed to thrive. A well-decorated dive bar for all genres - acoustic drone folk, post-punk, comedy, experimental, electronic, prog, etc.
MoreOne of Knoxville coolest venues. Definitely worth checking out.
Nothing else like it. Haven for the avant garde.
Great small venue/beer bar, in the Old City. Ive attended and played many shows here, always had a blast, and its easy on the wallet.
MoreDirty and divy hipster hangout with a cash only bar serving cheep can beers. They host some decent events and music from time to time but also not really

Cash only dive bar with cheap beer and bands you wont see anywhere else.
