Neighborhood

Situated in the northeastern portion of Downtown Knoxville, the Old City is a historic neighborhood and the site of Knoxville’s growing creative corridor. The Old City marries past and present with rows of coffeehouses, art galleries, local restaurants, eclectic shops, nightclubs, and lofts in rejuvenated warehouses and industrial buildings.

The Old City is known for its nightlife, emerging as the center of East Tennessee’s independent music scene with live music shows every night of the week. The Old City’s funky vibe as well as its close proximity to the University of Tennessee and Knoxville College makes it a popular choice among young adults.
