Seating Information
Cotton Eyed Joe in Knoxville, TN is a large country music nightclub and entertainment venue spanning 25,000 square feet with the largest dance floor in the South at 2,500 square feet. We offer a variety of seating and standing options:
- Main Dance Floor (General Admission): The centerpiece of the venue, ideal for dancing and getting close to the stage during concerts. This is the most energetic area and recommended for fans who want to be part of the action.
- Reserved Table Seating: Tables are positioned along the perimeter of the dance floor, offering a relaxed view of the performances. Best for guests who prefer a seated experience.
- Bar Seating: Four full-service bars are located throughout the venue with adjacent bar stools and standing areas.
- Standing Section: During concerts, all tickets are seated unless you prefer to stand — a designated standing area is available near the stage.
The venue also features pool tables, dart boards, and video games, and a unique DJ booth built inside a real semi-truck. We recommend the front tables or main floor positions for the best concert experience. Sections at the very back of the venue may have limited sightlines to the stage.
