    Omg. This is what Gatlinburg needs. We come at least 4 or 5 times a year and I have always wanted a place to dance. I am so excited about this and it is a great addition to Gatlinburg!

    Sounds exciting! Can’t wait to see the venue line-up for live entertainment. Hopefully, Blake will make an appearance every now and then too, which would be fabulous. I come 5-6 times a year from NC, so this will be a must visit location during each of my trips.

    I love Gatlinburg, but it is getting a bit expensive! The new Ankesster(?) is a waste of good money. Twin Island, the hotel they took down for Margaretville was a favorite place for us to stay. Now, several local small businesses will be forced closed to build this. Yes I agree, a dance hall will be a good thing for the younger crowd, but again, I imagine the prices will be steep. We have started to stay in Pigeon Forge with cheaper prices and just taking trolley over to Gatlinburg and then walk up and down main street, maybe go to Ober Gatlinburg (if we have grandkids) and then go back to PF. More family places. Only negative about PF is it the traffic!!! And really not walkable like Gatlinburg. Will I stop coming—Good Lord NO!!! Gatlinburg is my Happy Place!!

      Yes I love Gatlinburg, I have been going there for the past 40 years and twice a year when my husband was alive. Now I still go but its with my kids and grandkids and we use to stay at Twin Island hotel and I loved it hated to see it go. I think Margaretville will a little more on the higher price so won’t be able to go. Its also my Happy Place !!!!

I go back and forth between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but always stay in Gatlinburg. It’s a place where I can go with either friends or family and equally have fun with either. So happy!!!

    While I do like Blake Shelton I am hoping that Gatlinburg won’t lose too many of its small shops to accommodate his new venue. One of the quaint things about Gatlinburg is being able to walk the Main Street and visit the many shops and restaurants and enjoy the beautiful lights. Certainly hope the arrival of too many big name establishments doesn’t take away from that.

      Riverbend Mall dont get a whole lot of traffic. There’s just a few shops left in there. Plus hopefully this will bring some business to this end of town. The old Ruby Tuesday building and the one next to it, was an Applebees I think last, will hopefully get some new tenants.

      The mail didn’t get a lot of traffic, but because of all the big business coming to Gatlinburg, more small shops are having to close up. My shop is one of them. Gatlinburg isn’t what it was. Please don’t turn it into Big Business. The fire already hurt too many people. Think of the mama and papa shops. That is what Gatlinburg was about. =(

    Just what Gatlinburg needs. ANOTHER BAR! Seems like they have enough alcohol in that town. It is no longer a family destination. We’ve started hanging in Pigeon Forge where there are much better shows and fewer drunks to walk out in front of cars. Gatlinburg is getting to be the nations DRUNK TANK and I feel it’s time to stop going there.

    I could see this coming where he will get a chance to create a house band to accompany all the ex Voice contestants at very low price. Great entertainment at a very low overhead. Still he would have some headliners come in to keep the interest up.

    This is AWESOME news! I look for any excuse to travel to Gatlinburg, so this has just added to my list. I visited “Ole Red” in Nashville this past November with two of my sisters and three of my nieces…….we had a blast! Anyone who loves country music, good food and great service will be in for a treat! For those who are skeptical about Blake Shelton ever visiting his restaurants, I follow Nashville news – YES he does visit!!
