Saloon 16 – the restaurant and bar located within Graduate Knoxville opened in partnership with Peyton Manning – now offers brunch on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Created by newly appointed chef Calvin Winfrey, the menu is rooted in true Tennessee Volunteer traditions, offering locals and hotel guests a comforting and delicious brunch to end the weekend.
“The brunch menu is equal parts playful and classic, offering something for everyone,” said Winfrey.
In partnership with Natalie Jacob, of Nashville’s bar Attaboy, the team has created a brunch-inspired cocktail menu. Favorites include the Power T Punch with vodka, orange juice, pineapple, crushed strawberries, mint and prosecco, plus a twist on the ever-popular espresso martini the Wake-Up Call with vodka, Muletown Cold Brew, Mr. Black and espresso beans.
The team will also serve up a Boot Kickin’ Bloody with bacon-infused vodka, house-made bloody mix, candied bacon, shrimp, celery, olives, peppers, rosemary and a chicken & waffle slider, served in an over-sized glass cowboy boot.
