Peter Kern Library

Truth is when we found out there was a secret library in downtown Knoxville, nothing else mattered. There are two entrances to the Peter Kern Library. One within the Oliver Hotel and one down a back alley, look for the red light above the alley door. 

Are there books, yes? 

But the library of liqueurs is what is really impressive. There are probably enough shelved bottles to involve the Dewey decimal system and a good old fashioned card catalog. 

Our guess is you’ll think a quiet gathering among the “stacks” is a treat.
