Mellow Mushroom Knoxville - The Story

The exterior of the restaurant is painted blue and features a circular tower with colored glass windows above the entrance. A vivid mural spans the entire length of the building and a wrap-around porch provides ample outdoor seating. Inside, giant mushrooms tower over the spacious dining room that features sleek gray floors and metal accents. Large pendant lights hang over the waiting area. Above the bar, a blue and white mural stretches from one end of the room to the other, providing a contrast to the bright red bar top. A forest painting and curving ceiling panels round out the design and create a tranquil feeling in the contemporary space.
