Ole Red

Welcome to Ole Red Gatlinburg - where the Smoky Mountains meet Southern flavor, live music, and honky-tonk energy straight from Blake Shelton himself. Inspired by his hit song Ol' Red, this one-of-a-kind spot is part restaurant, part bar, part music venue - and 100% fun.

Right in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg, Ole Red brings you the best live music in the Smokies, all day, every day. From rising country stars to boot-stompin' house bands, our stage is always alive with talent. Whether you're passing through town or settling in for the weekend, there's no better soundtrack to your Smoky Mountain getaway.

Hungry? Our menu serves up elevated Southern fare with serious flavor - juicy burgers, smoky BBQ, crispy chicken & waffles, and sharable bites perfect for the whole crew. Pair it all with a cold beer or a handcrafted cocktail and you're in for a Blake Shelton-approved good time.

Kick back on our open-air patio, catch the mountain breeze, and let us handle the rest. Walk-ins are always welcome for lunch and dinner, seven days a week.

Planning something special? We've got you covered with private event space available for parties, celebrations, or group gatherings. Whether it's a birthday, rehearsal dinner, or corporate shindig, we'll help you throw an unforgettable event - complete with great food and even better vibes.

And before you go, swing by the retail shop to grab some Ole Red gear - the perfect way to take the honky-tonk spirit home with you.

At Ole Red Gatlinburg, we're serving up good times, great music, and even better food - every single day. Come see for yourself why folks say we've got the best seat in the Smokies.
