Tail of the Dragon
Tail of the Dragon
Going to ride the Tail of the Dragon over Memorial Day weekend with some buddies. We rode it last summer which was a great time but I felt like we had a boring time when it came to going out in Gattlinburg at night. Are there any "Adult Clubs" or "Bars" to go to with some good scenery? Although it's a guys trip it would be nice to see some females every now and again. I just felt like the last time we went all there was to do at night was ride bumper boats or go carts...ha! Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
Its a really cool ride. If you are ever near there I would definitely ride it!

Ya, get out of pigeon forge. Gatlingberg has some nice places to grab a beer. There was a local brewery there I went to like 3 times while I was there but can't remember the name.

A bunch of us stayed in Pigeon Forge this last weekend. Everything shuts down early around there. 11 or midnight. The restaurant next to the Harley shop in Pigeon Forge has excelent Mexican food at a great price and there is a bar there. If you like to stay up late and drink, take your own beer and have it at the hotel. Oh ya and in Gattlinburg, ya gotta pay to park anywhere unless you are staying in a hotel there. A lot of the lots don't take motorcycles. Also, if you go south out of Gattlinburg, that is a nice ride with a couple of nice tunnels you can make a lot of noise in.

Just an FYI;
I go to the Dragon 2-3 times a year, and I never go there on a weekend. The Dragon is very popular and always quite crowded from April - Oct on the weekends. There is almost always a large car or bike group holding an event around the Dragon on weekends, add to that the local weekend population, and traffic on the Dragon gets pretty heavy.
Yes, you can still go and ride on it during the weekends, but there's virtually always too much traffic then to, REALLY Ride the Dragon.
Monday - Thursday (holidays excluded) is the best time to visit the Dragon IMO.
