Weekly outings and adventures in Harrill Hills
Neighbors enjoy a walkable area with eclectic clothing shops, restaurants and pubs in Downtown Knoxville, which is about a 15-minute drive from Harrill Hills. “I visit downtown for this little coffee shop, Old City Java and Fizz, a clothing boutique,” says Golec. A weekend in the neighborhood can include other outings like the Knoxville Zoo, where people say hello to over 1,000 animals in one day, or Muse Knoxville, a children's science museum with interactive exhibits like making crafts and objects float.

Shopping at popular grocers, and dining in local restaurants
With the help of North Broadway, the main thoroughfare, grocery stores and entertainment are accessible within minutes. From popular stops such as Kroger and Food City to eclectic retail and service businesses, it's all available along one route. Harrill Hills is loyal to its locally owned businesses, including a long-time favorite, Litton's. Litton's was initially opened as a market and gas station in 1946 and has transformed over the years into a grocery, restaurant and bakery. It's known that Litton's has some of the best burgers and baked goods in town. Locals enjoy small appetizers and an extensive beer and cocktail menu at Fountain City Social, the go-to nightlife spot that hosts events like weekly martini and trivia nights and themed dance parties.
