10 Knoxville bars to toast 'Blackout Wednesday' before Thanksgiving

T'was the night before Thanksgiving when all through the house not a creature was stirring − because everyone had gone out to the bars. Thanksgiving Eve, sometimes called "Blackout Wednesday" or "Drinksgiving," is the night before the beloved holiday - and a time when long-distance family and friends catch up at local bars. The tradition brings people together at dive bars and hole-in-the-wall spots where you can grab a few drinks and talk for hours on end before the big meal is served the next day. If you're in town visiting for Thanksgiving or a local wondering where to meet for "Drinksgiving," here are some Knoxville bars perfect for the occasion. Bernadette's Crystal Gardens It might be chilly on the rooftop of Bernadette's Crystal Gardens on Nov. 25, but no worries, the drinks will keep you warm. It is truly one of a kind and shares its roof with Preservation Pub, which made the USA TODAY best bars list in 2024. Bernadette's has three levels, all offering a unique experience. The first level transports guests to a magical place with crystals on the ceiling, walls, bar tops and booths, while the second level is known to host international dance nights.

Knox County Schools cannot block a Christian charter school application on religious grounds despite a Tennessee law banning religious charter schools, according to a federal court ruling on Friday. The narrow decision applies only to Knox County Schools and the Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville, which sued the school district last year over its application of the state law. It does not strike down Tennessee’s religious charter school ban or guarantee that Wilberforce’s application will be approved. The ruling comes amid a growing national conservative push to greenlight taxpayer-funded religious schools . Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti declined to defend the 2002 law earlier this year after publicly calling it “likely” unconstitutional , leaving Knox County Schools to face a lawsuit challenging a state law it was required to enforce. Tennessee lawmakers also loosened the state’s restrictions on religious charter schools this year, allowing religious organizations to operate charter schools as long as the schools themselves remain nonreligious. Wilberforce, however, aims to open an explicitly
