Whether you’ve just come from the aquarium or theatre, let the after party begin at Blake Shelton’s Ole Red — a brand-new bar and live performance attraction set to open March 2019 in Gatlinburg! All menu items are made from scratch, be it the Redneck Nachos, Champagne of Fried Chicken, or the Ober Gatlin-burger (shoutout to the clever name). While the food is certainly finger-licking good and the beer flows with the best of them, the best part about Ole Red is the live performance stage, featuring new artists on their way to stardom as well as surprise celebs who’ve added their names to the hall of fame. There’s even an outdoor terrace, where you can “get some fresh air” and steal a sweet kiss beneath the soft moonlight.
