Hi-Wire runs pint night on top of an all-day happy hour every Thursday
Two standing deals landing on the same day at 2020 Barber Street, in a taproom that takes the entire second floor — and, on a 97-degree Thursday, has air conditioning and a pinball machine.
Hi-Wire's Knoxville taproom takes up the whole second floor of the building at 2020 Barber Street, a block off Sevier Avenue, and Thursday is the day it makes its strongest case: the standing pint night sits on top of an all-day happy hour, so the discount doesn't wait for an evening window.

What's up there
Twenty Hi-Wire taps, from flagships through sour and wild ales, plus draft cocktails, liquor slushies, wine, cider, and non-alcoholic options for whoever drove. Ping pong, foosball, and a Stern pinball machine. Ten thousand square feet, murals on every wall, and two outdoor decks — one covered, one on the roof with the view.
Dinner solves itself
There's no kitchen upstairs and there doesn't need to be. You order from Redbud Kitchen on the ground floor, they text you, you carry it back up. Outside food is welcome too, just not outside drinks. Doors at three, last call at ten.
A note on the roof deck
Thursday's forecast high is near 97. The rooftop is the best seat in the building for about eleven months of the year, and this is not one of those days until the sun is well down — the indoor floor is enormous, and that is where the pinball is anyway. Hi-Wire's Knoxville events page still wasn't loading anything publicly as of Tuesday, so a one-off on their calendar may not be visible; the hours and the standing Thursday deals above come from the taproom's own page.
