Shrimp Cocktail
8 delicious shrimp strategically placed around a chilled martini glass filled with our spicy cocktail sauce. The glass is garnished with a lemon to add a bit more zest! It's out of this world and
just doggone purdy!!

Tender Chicken Strips
A half pound of delicious battered chicken strips served on a hot 1/2 pound bed of french fries. Yes, that’s right - if you eat this and you weigh 189 pounds, well congratulations you’ve just been bumped up to the Heavyweight Division at 190 pounds. So, enjoy!

Hot Queso & Chips
Our own special recipe combining cheese with, uh, some more cheese, a bit of pico de gallo and some other special, top secret, "mind your own business and just enjoy it" ingredients. One of our more popular recipes based on our market research, which basically means that all the staff really loves the heck out of it! It's served with as many hot chips as you care to woof down. WARNING: Woofing down food in any form is not recommended or endorsed by the Downtown Grill & Brewery. Do so at your own risk.
Savor and enjoy the food!

Knoxville Jumbo Wings
Some say these are similar to Buffalo Wings, but since we live in Knoxville, we had to apply our own special recipe-notice the low population of pigeons in the area. Just kidding. We offer a dozen
of these JUMBO wings and fry them to perfection. We offer
them in BBQ, Hot, or "Fire and Brimstone". We didn't want
them to be lonely, so we serve them with a side of celery
and bleu cheese. Brewer's Note: If you need to cool the temperature down, extinguish it with our White Mule Ale.

Jumbo Tater Skins
Some say po-ta-to, some say po-tah-to. We just get to the point
and call 'em taters! Any way you say them, they're good eatin'!
We cut these fellows in half and layer them with mashed potatoes, mixed cheese and bacon and offer you a side of sour cream to top them off. However, if you really want to know why we call them taters, you have to top them off with our taco beef, mesquite
grilled chicken or steak. Your mouth will be so busy, you'll
only have time to say tater!

add Taco Beef 1.00
add Chicken or Steak 2.75

Guacamole Dip
We take the mallets from the Whack-A-Mole games at arcades
and beat the...uh, consider it anger management. Actually, we
make our guacamole dip fresh each day for your taste bud
enjoyment! We serve up a large of portion of this with our
hot and fresh chips!
6.95

Chips & Salsa
Our homemade salsa made fresh daily and served with an endless supply of chips. Okay, that's not totally true. We will eventually run out of chips. I mean come on, do you know how much time
and energy goes into making those things? Seriously, you really wouldn't want it to be endless.

Hongos Con Queso
After we sauté up our Mexican veggies and mushrooms, "on goes" our mixed cheese, which we melt to perfection. We serve this
with some warm tortillas for you to fill to your liking. If you
desire, after the Mexican veggies "on goes" your choice of
mesquite grilled steak or chicken, portabella mushroom, or
grilled shrimp to make this appetizer a truly amazing dish for
your palette.

add Chicken, Steak, or Portabella 2.75
add Shrimp 3.95

Cheese Sticks
This is our original recipe which all other places have stolen and added to their menus. It's a disgrace I tell you. Actually, maybe
we weren't the first but we happen to think they're a good idea.
So, we added them to our menu with our OWN special marinara sauce for dipping!
6.95

Soft Pretzels with Beer Cheese
Two large soft pretzels folded into intricate designs by semi-trained origami wannabes and sprinkled with salt. We serve this up with a delicious side of our signature pale beer-cheese for dipping.
5.95

Quesadilla
Our 10-inch tortilla, roughly the length from your elbow to wrist for average people (not you, Sasquatch), is filled with mixed cheeses, peppers and onions. If you want, you can fill them with any number of the items below. By the way, this now makes it a meal and not really an appetizer, unless you feel the need to share with those people across the room who keep staring at you.

add Chicken, Steak, or Portabella 2.75
add Shrimp 3.95

Beer Battered Mushrooms
These drunken "fun guys" stumbled into one of our baskets. So, we decided to batter them up and drop them into our drunk tank (a.k.a. fryer). We serve them up with a side of horseradish sauce for dipping. The only thing that would make them better is to wash them down with a Woodruff IPA or White Mule Ale.
6.95

Sampler Platter
Okay, here's the deal. Instead of us creating a sampler platter that you're probably going to need to adjust for your picky date, we're going to let you create your own. If you look throughout the appetizer menu you will notice items marked with (that's the five-pointed things, not the Hollywood variety) - or, a choice may be chicken strips. Anyway, you are able to pick 4 of these lovely items for your palette to enjoy. So, have fun and let us know what you want! We know you're probably going to want to know how many of each-don't worry, we'll fill you up! Or, you can ask that person known as your server-who should be arriving any sec…
8.95
you can have a 1/2 quesadilla in place of one of the
stars for only a dollar more!
