Brewery Locations
In Gatlinburg, you’ll find the family-friendly Smoky Mountain Brewery conveniently located at the southern end of Parkway in Calhoun’s Village, a small mall area behind Calhoun’s, which also offers overflow parking for the Brewery (a big plus in Gatlinburg, where parking can be tight).
Smoky Mountain Brewery in Pigeon Forge is located in Lumberjack Square, a shopping complex convenient to the northern entertainment end of town and the western adventures of the Smokies.
Both Brewery locations are adjacent to a Calhoun’s, which is another tasty destination. Calhoun’s offers a more southern cuisine, and complements the food of the Brewery with smoked meats for those who have to have it smoked (and some days you do). And in Gatlinburg the Brewery is next door to Cherokee Grill steakhouse, so you’re spoiled for choice in this one block-area.
Both restaurants and settings in both towns offer great locations as well as food and drink options.
The Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge locations of Smoky Mountain Brewery are open for business daily, serving lunch and dinner.
