From Bakery to Speakeasy: the tale of the Peter Kern Building
One of the best kept secrets of Knoxville, and the only speakeasy in the area, the Peter Kern Library should be on your list of must dos! With a covert entry point and a rotating monthly password to enter, the experience begins before coming on-site as customers keep a close eye for hidden password clues. Literary inspired menus make this a great option for a fun night out on the town.
