about
Spaces in the City was founded on bringing good food, good drink and companionship to restored and elevated spaces in Knoxville.
We’re a company that lets iconic, historic architecture lead the way. The soaring sweep of a barrel ceiling, the intimate draw of a storefront that makes you want to explore further inside ... We restore and open these spaces to urban explorers, and what’s more: we give them treasures to find.
restaurant/bars
At each of our restaurants, we offer the delight of new tastes, the pleasure of carefully considered atmosphere, and service that lifts away the cares of your day.
event spaces
In our venues, we’ve created spaces where lifetimes are promised, or old friendships rekindled. Our event spaces are designed for intimate concerts, or to spark inspiration for your company’s most profitable quarter yet. Whatever your needs, chances are we’ve got a solution.
catering
City Catering does all the work for an unpretentious, effortless dining experience in one of our event spaces—or off-site, wherever you need us to be.
