Two more weekends of Mimosas before the sign changes

The Blount Avenue brunch room reopens August 26 as Puckers Sports Grill Knoxville. The brunch dishes are staying on the menu — the name is the part that's changing.

Now: Mimosas, 115 Mimosa Ave
Wed Aug 26: Reopens as Puckers Sports Grill Knoxville
Brunch: Sat & Sun 9 AM – 3 PM · weekdays 10 AM – 3 PM
This weekend: Sat 9 AM – 10 PM · Sun 9 AM – 9 PM

If "we should try that brunch place on Blount" has been on your list since it opened, the list just got a deadline. Mimosas has announced it will reopen on August 26 as Puckers Sports Grill Knoxville — which leaves two more weekends of it being Mimosas.

What's changing, and what isn't

Puckers is the Gatlinburg sports grill, and the Knoxville version is pitched as a bigger-swing take on it: game-day room, wall of televisions, chef-driven food and cocktails, a few hundred yards of river between it and Neyland Stadium. The company says the Mimosas brunch favorites keep a place on the new menu, and that the Mimosas concept itself is expected to come back at some point.

Which means this weekend

Brunch runs 9 to 3 Saturday and Sunday, and the room stays open until 10 Saturday and 9 Sunday. It's a short walk from the greenway and a shorter one from the bridge, and for two more Sundays the bottomless-mimosa version of South Knoxville is still on the board.
