Private Events · Bristol, TN
Throw It at the Distillery.
Weddings, corporate nights, and parties attached to a working distillery and brewhouse. Our event space, our spirits, our smoke. Up to ~100 guests in Bristol.
The Experience
You're not renting a room. You're experiencing something unforgettable.
Most venues hand you four walls. Ours come with copper stills, our own spirits behind the bar, real smoke off the smoker, and eleven generations of Tennessee in the room.
A venue that entertains itself
Your guests walk past old copper stills, hot rods, and elevated decor to get to their table. Private tours and craft tastings available on-site. No outside entertainment to book, no rented-hall silence to fill.
Real smoke. Real fire. Real Tennessee.
Our own smokehouse caters your event, brisket, pulled pork, burnt ends, sides built bold, sauces infused with our own liquor. No steam-tray banquet food. On-site for your event or delivered across the Tri-Cities.
The only bar pouring spirits we distilled
Every other venue buys their liquor. We make ours. Craft cocktails, our own whiskey and beer, poured by our team. A bar program the competition literally cannot match.
A story baked into the walls
Tennessee Hills runs on eleven generations of distilling heritage and a founder who learned the craft at eleven years old. Your guests feel it the second they walk in. That's the difference between an event and a night people remember.
