Suttree’s High Gravity Tavern is the brainchild of husband and wife Matt Pacetti and Anne Ford. The idea for Suttree’s Tavern began right next door to the tavern, at Downtown Wine and Spirits. Not only had Suttree’s owner Matt Pacetti worked on Gay Street for a long time, but as a lifelong Knoxville resident, he had a sense for what Downtown Knoxville needed and wanted. Good beer, rare beer, small batched beer, rumored beer, and high gravity beer. It was something brewing around Knoxville, but no one was committed yet. With the help of investors in 2012 Suttree’s jumped on the scene as the only craft beer bar in Knoxville with a focus on high gravity craft beer. The mantra remains authentic, but the bar has grown wiser through the years, with stories and laughter from neighbors and strangers alike. What is in a name? And so it is, beer and stories.
