If you’re in downtown Gatlinburg and looking for a lively spot to grab a bite and catch the game, Puckers Sports Grill is back and better than ever! After losing its original location to a fire, Puckers has risen from the ashes in a brand-new building just down the street from where it all began. And let me tell you, this fresh start is a major upgrade.
The new Puckers Sports Grill is everything you want in a sports bar and more. With booming music, pool tables, and 12 HDTVs playing non-stop sports, the atmosphere is electric. Whether it’s NFL Sunday, college game day, or a big pay-per-view event, this is the place to be if you like your food and sports served with a side of high energy.
We stopped by and snagged a couple of seats at the bar. The menu is packed with options, but the “Juicy Lucy” burger caught our eye. This beast of a burger features a patty stuffed with applewood smoked bacon and American cheese, then topped with all the fixings—lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. We paired it with a side of slaw, and it did not disappoint. The burger was perfectly cooked, juicy (true to its name), and loaded with flavor. The slaw was crisp and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness – the perfect complement to such a rich dish.
Puckers’ menu doesn’t stop at burgers. You’ll find sliders, chicken wings with about a dozen sauces and rubs, sandwiches, salads, and an array of appetizers. While it’s on the pricier side, the quality of the food and the overall experience make it worth the splurge, especially if you’re a fan of vibrant, social settings.
This isn’t the spot for a quiet meal, but if you’re in town looking for a fun, rowdy place to hang out, Puckers Sports Grill has you covered. The new building adds a touch of modern comfort while keeping the same spirited vibe locals and visitors loved about the original.
Next time you’re exploring Gatlinburg and want to dive into some great food, energetic atmosphere, and wall-to-wall sports, head over to Puckers. It’s more than a meal; it’s an experience you won’t forget.
