Where to get wings in Knoxville: the Strip, Gay Street and Bearden

Last checked Oct. 18, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Knoxville’s wings cluster on Cumberland Avenue by the University of Tennessee, where two late-night pizza and grill kitchens sit on the Strip, and in the Bearden area off Kingston Pike. Downtown has a sports bar on Gay Street, and North Knoxville has Hooters at the Merchant Drive exit of Interstate 75.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records with a Knoxville address, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website or chain location page on Oct. 18, 2026. We kept a place only where its own site gives a Knoxville address and lists wings. We left out Buffalo Wild Wings and Wingstop, whose location pages would not load for us, and the Hooters at 8050 Kingston Pike, which its own page shows as closed every day. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
