"If your looking for a thorough review from a beginners perspective read here: As someone who has no experience in the cigar “community” I could not have chose a more welcoming, friendly, and informative place to learn more. I was promptly greeted and assisted in selecting a cigar as well receiving my drink order. (The staff was extremely helpful in answering questions and very patient). I received a welcomed crash course on various types of cigars, styles of cutting, the lighting process, and a touch on cigar etiquette. One of my favorite things that was explained to me , which Alchemy does a great job reinforcing is that if it works for you - do it! There’s a lot of personal preference involved with cigars and Alchemy is a great place to figure yours out. More on staff: While I have no doubt the entire staff is excellent I specifically interacted with Charles & Jasmine who are both bartenders at this establishment. Again extremely helpful, very friendly, and even went out of their way to introduce me to other regulars at the lounge. There aren’t many bars where you can say you’ve chatted with the owners, yet on my first evening I met the Husband & Wife duo who were just as welcoming as their staff. They were down to earth, extremely kind and have done an excellent job creating a warm, cozy, and rustic atmosphere for anyone to enjoy, seasoned cigar smoker, beginner or not at all. The lounge from my understanding has two main areas, the front section which includes bar seating, and a library styled seating room to the right as you walk in. If you’re interested in the cigars, the staff will walk you to the humidor and let you browse or assist in making a selection. They even go as far as cutting and lighting the cigar for you, so don’t feel the need to purchase a lighter or cutter to come try it out! Highly recommend. Will be back."

"What a pleasant surprise to find a first-class cigar lounge in Knoxville. Warm and welcoming environment with excellent service (my Bartender, Jo, was wonderful!). My only regret is that it has been open two years....and I just found out about it ☹️. Who woulda thunk it??!! Just Go!"

"Incredible place for cigars and drinks. We rented out the library for a customer event. Fantastic environment. Special call out to Crystal for taking care of our group! Job very well done!!!"

"Wow!!! Crystal, One of the best reasons to come to Alchemy cigar lounge she makes sure you’re taken care of. The drinks are fresh and the cigars are always lit. The service is impeccable. Relax in the nice leather chair and let her take care of you. This place is one of the best places in the old city. One last thing… tell them Porkchop sent you! Cheers…..!"

"First time popping in. Had a great time. Drinks were great, selection of booze also great. Vibe and environment were perfect. Cigar selection is a little limited, but almost everything they did have was top notch. Will definitely return on future visits in Knoxville"
