Scruffy City Hall

Scruffy City Hall "Welcome to Our Cathedral of Entertainment and Libations." ScruffyCity.com Welcomes you to our Cathedral of Entertainment and Libations, Scruffy City Hall!
(816)

With three levels of awesomeness, Scruffy can’t be beaten: 40 taps, 300 beers, 3 full bars, a medieval hall, two balconies (one overlooking the stage, the other Historic Market Square), a Rooftop Bar with a TreeTable Forest and CinePub Under the Stars, and entertainment every evening. Scruffy City Hall is a NON-smoking venue everywhere inside, and includes Historic Market Square's ONLY public ba

lcony overlooking the Square, the best stage for audiences to enjoy regional bands, a fantastic medieval space to host events. For over 25 years, for the enjoyment of locals and visitors alike, the West Family have been developing historic buildings and opening exciting shops, restaurants and bars in Downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. Currently, we own and operate a close-knit family of businesses on Market Square, including the original Keep Knoxville scruffy! shop Earth to Old City, plus the Scruffy City Barhop, which includes 10 bars: Preservation Pub (which houses a 1st floor Smokeasy, a 2nd floor Speakeasy, and a rooftop Magic Beer Tree in the Moonshine Garden), Uncorked Wine and Bourbon Bars (which also includes Oodles restaurant and catering), Scruffy City Hall (which includes a three bars and two balconies), and now Market House Café (from 7am -11pm dayly) with the biggest patio in Downtown Knoxville. We offer some of the best choices in the region for dining, locally crafted beers, unique shopping, and a wide variety of bars featuring unbeatable ambiance and nightlife. Add to that three intimate stages hosting over 200 artists per month, our convenient location in the epicenter of the newly renovated and revitalized Historic Market Square, the fact that we are locally owned and operated, and we think you'll join us in repeating our mantra:

Keep Knoxville Scruffy:
Support local food, local music, local culture, local history, and local business!

Colleen d'Alelio as HOST!
Sign ups at 7:30p
Music at 8p with you good people

Bring your instrument, lines and mics will be provided. Sorry, no amps, pedal boards, drum kits, or groups of more than 3 due to time constraints. These are guidelines, use common sense. Most nights players will have 10-15 minutes total stage time, including setup, depending on how many show up to play.

This is a space for songwriters to try out new songs, make friends, connections, even potential bandmates, jam with each other, and just have a good time all while listening to new original music.

Cover songs are not discouraged but the focus is on original songs.

Come play one of the best stages in Knoxville with a bunch of folks who really want to hear your tunes!

Friday, Aug. 28 ~ King Ghoul w/ Kneel Diamond- Wedding Band • 9 p.m. • Scruffy City Hall • $10

"Local three-piece rockers King Ghoul return to Scruffy City Hall performing their aggressively raw blend of rock, grunge and metal. Expect a high-energy show, especially when they dive into a few cover songs. Another highly entertaining band, Kneel Diamond, will open the show and set the tone for a fun night of rock in Market Square."
