Ale’ Rae’s Gastro Pub and Coffee Bar
937 N Bdwy, Knoxville, TN
Crema's Take
“Ale' Rae's is a beloved local gathering spot that seamlessly blends a serious coffee bar with a full-service gastro pub, making it equally perfect for a morning pour-over and a leisurely Sunday lunch. The kitchen takes real pride in flavor complexity—think bourbon bacon meatloaf with cornbread meant to amplify every note—while the welcoming vibe, live music offerings, and attentive staff create the kind of place where regulars become part of the extended family. Whether you're catching a game on one of their many TVs, settling into the outdoor area, or just soaking in the genuinely cool atmosphere, this feels like the kind of Knoxville spot where everyone seems happier for having stopped by.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Food was amazing with so much flavor. I think you could order anything on the menu and it would be good. Really cool place inside with a great vibe. We will definitely be back!
WOW!!!! I kid you not i basically shed a tear leaving this establishment. Literally everything was PERFECT! We were fortunate enough to come while they had live music playing & although it was a 45 minute wait for a table, we were lucky enough to grab the last 2 seats at the bar…
