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
We believe that quality, delicious food is the foundation for a successful gathering. We’ll work with you to plan a menu that will impress and fortify your guests or colleagues. Our catering services are available for each of our event venues, or wherever you need us to be.
