Sapphire: A Modern Restaurant & Bar Reviews List

Sapphire: A Modern Restaurant & Bar

A modern bar and restaurant, located in the heart of downtown Knoxville, TN. Opened April 2005.
Sophisticated Southern Comfort. Full-service restaurant featuring upscale comfort food from the region. Over 40 unique wines to choose from everyday, with one of Knoxville’s largest liquor selections. All name brand domestic and import beer are available. Unbeatable happy hour specials. Unparalleled ambience and decor are created by the building itself, which is over 100 years old, and from the fact that Sapphire is built into the shell of an old jewelry store.
Enjoy an exciting nightlife in Knoxville and mingle with who's who. Find it all at Sapphire. Located at 428 S. Gay St. next to Downtown Grill and Brewery. A block away from Regal Riveria Cinemas and Tennessee Theatre.

"Food was only ok. They did have a nice selection of cocktails. Good place for a drink or two, but if you are a foodie not that great a choice."

"My wife absolutely loved the place! We went early, so it was quite quiet with a good atmosphere. Might have to go back sometime when it is later in the evening to catch some live music!"
