It's not a DRY area! They are several ABC stores and alcohol is sold at every Food Market such as the Food Citys
I went 2 times last year and once in November.....If far from being DRY.
Every restaurant sells it too.......They have some nice bars my friends went to. I'm going to hit them up the next time
Sevierville is the worst traffic, pigeon forge is OK but Gatlinburg isnt that bad at all......
MY SUGGESTION- Park and ride the trolley, its cheap and it takes you to all the hot spots including the Aquarium and all of the other Ripley's entertainment.
