Top 10: Ole Red Gatlinburg
We've counted all the ways. Discover the exciting things related to Gatlinburg's newest restaurant and venue that you may not have known about. Plus, we had to reciprocate the love - 10 Reasons Why We (Ole Red) Love Gatlinburg.
1. The Man Behind It All
Two words: Blake Shelton. He’s the winningest coach on NBC’s The Voice and is a five-time CMA Male Vocalist of the Year, tying Vince Gill and George Strait as the most decorated winner in that award category. He knows how to throw a party, and you never know when he might stop by Ole Red Gatlinburg for a pop-up performance.
2. They Hit All the Right Notes
Given Blake Shelton’s eye for talent, it will come as no surprise that country music’s rising stars will occupy Ole Red Gatlinburg’s state-of-the-art stage. Every day of the week, audiences will enjoy hand-picked talent at the only live indoor music spot in Gatlinburg, showcasing the very best coming out of Music City and across the Southeast. From hot up-and-comers to surprise celebrity guests, the possibilities for some good old-fashioned, toe-tapping fun are endless. Get the event schedule. Above photo by: Trae Patton/NBC.
3. Love Thy Neighbor
There’s not much we don’t already love about having Ole Red Gatlinburg as our new neighbor, but when we heard about their partnership with Gatlinburg-Pittman High School to raise money for the school’s Music Program during the Ole Red Gatlinburg Grand Opening celebration, our love became official. Ole Red Gatlinburg recently hosted an online auction for 35 pairs of tickets to the Grand Opening concert. All proceeds raised through the auction benefit the Gatlinburg-Pittman High School Music Program and contribute to the purchase of instruments, uniforms and costumes as well as travel expenses for participating students. Now that’s what we call neighborly!
4. They’ve Got Food You’ll Crave
Those that visit Ole Red Gatlinburg might come for the music, but they’ll stay for the food. The venue’s made-from-scratch menu adds to Gatlinburg’s amazing food scene with entrées that celebrate the best in Southern flavor and Blake Shelton’s favorites. We guarantee you’ll raise a fork for their one-of-a-kind dishes like the Tater Tot Poutine or Lucky Charms Banana Pudding, an irresistible dessert that pays homage to Blake’s favorite marshmallows. Our favorite thing on the menu? Gatlinburg-inspired items like the Ober Gatlin-Burger, which comes mounted with Ole Smoky Moonshine Mushrooms.
5. It’s All About Location, Location, Location
Situated in bustling downtown Gatlinburg, Ole Red is easily accessible along the Parkway and the fifth in a series of new premier businesses whose grand openings have made the area around traffic light #3 one of the most happening places in town.
