The Pizza Kitchen
The PK is definitely one of this beer snob’s favorite places to go in K-town. Not only is the food good (get the fire fries, oh, and the Beale Street BBQ or the BLT pizza…or…honestly, it’s all good) but the beer selection is great and rotates with some frequency.
The PK first came onto the scene in Knox-vegas back in 1998 and took up about half of it’s current location, since then they’ve added seating, the outdoor patio, a bar, and numerous TVs. The PK is one of those places you can go with friends to hang out or with the whole family. Often they’ll have a movie playing that the kids will enjoy while other TVs will be showing various games – so everyone wins. They also do a good job of bringing in local talent to play music Thurs-Saturday.
What you need to know about the PK:
1) Thursday is pint night – a specific brewery is highlighted and you can get $3 pints of their brew. Often that includes a free glass to take home and make your friends jealous with.
2) Wednesday is $3 pint night – all pints $3 – perfect for hump-day.
3) Chocolate Peanut Brittle cake – this stuff is in HIGH demand and often it’s gone before I get in the door. Ask about it when you walk in the door, if they have it, ask them to set aside a piece for you. Too full after dinner? Take it home – trust me on this one – unless you hate chocolate, cake, or wonderfulness.
4) The PK does Brunch on Saturday and Sunday. I haven’t discovered a breakfast-beer yet BUT their brunch is awesome. Remember this: Benton’s Candied Bacon – trust me, order it, then come back here and thank me.
The PK is located on Northshore. Here is their website and follow them on Twitter and “like” on Facebook as this is where they post their specials and what Thursday’s brewery will be.
