Doing all three of those requires a pretty substantial facility. Most of the available spaces can't do that.
Cant deny that downtown is growing though. I have no idea what kind of space the new brewery will have. I think we have good venues for music, a good mix of restaurants with good to excellent fare, and a nice selection of breweries. Ample parking and plenty of trolleys and motorized golf carts to get around. We have a great movie theater. I think its a good place to go.
I agree with the too many breweries downtown sentiment. Its worn out. Downtown Knoxville really needs some better shopping. Look at King St in Charleston and go from there. A perfect balance of restaurants and shops. Plenty of breweries and bars, a lot of restaurants, and even Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Rolex, Omega, Sperry, West Elm, Pottery Barn, just to name a few. Theres a lot of money floating around the pockets of Downtown Knoxville, but its like theyre only trying to attract the hipsters on bicycles with $12 to their name.
