Gatlinburg, Tennessee has become a popular destination for motorcyclists thanks to its location as a gateway to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Bikers stop in Gatlinburg before and after their rides into the scenic mountain roads of the park. There are several bars and restaurants in the Gatlinburg area that cater to bikers, offering good food and cold drinks at affordable prices while providing parking and other amenities.
Located in downtown Gatlinburg near the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum, Hoggs and Honeys offers drinks in a loose environment that led it to be named one of 10 reasons to visit Gatlinburg by the Shelbyville Times-Gazette in July 2008. The bar and restaurant features a large balcony where you can unwind, and people watch. The restaurant has standard bar food, such as chicken wings, nachos and sausages, and the kitchen is open until 1 a.m.
