Junction 35

Drink. Dine. Distill. — Tennessee's first distillery-restaurant, rooted in railroad history.

📍 Pigeon Forge & Sevierville, TN

Junction 35 is built on the legacy of Sevier County's railroad past — a time when moonshiners used trains to move their 'shine across East Tennessee. Inspired by that spirit of grit and craft, Junction 35 takes pride in distilling top-quality spirits that honor tradition while pushing the limits of flavor. When you step into their distillery, you're stepping into a story where the past and present collide, one pour at a time.

As Tennessee's first distillery-restaurant, Junction 35 is more than a tasting room — it's a full destination. Bold, handcrafted spirits across the board: smooth bourbon, rich whiskey, small-batch moonshine, vodka, gin, tequila, and rum. Every bottle is meant to be savored, not just sold. As master distiller Jake McGinnis puts it: "There's selling liquor, and then there's drinking liquor" — Junction 35 is here for the ones who appreciate the difference.

With two locations — Pigeon Forge and Sevierville — Junction 35 offers maximum flexibility on the crawl route. Both locations deliver the same quality experience and the same commitment to craft. Junction 35 is also a proud member of the TN Whiskey Trail™.

Crawl Band holders enjoy exclusive offers at both Junction 35 locations. Scan your wristband at either location to unlock your discount.
