Sevierville’s newest dining and entertainment venue is ringing in 2023 with a retro party. The Pines Downtown Retro NYE Bash will feature a live video jockey, party favors and a champagne toast at midnight. Tickets start at $30 each. Add more fun to the night by ordering up delicious food, drinks, and even playing a few rounds of duckpin bowling.
Although The Pines Downtown has just reopened this month as an entertainment and dining venue, the structure has a long history of entertaining guests. Originally opened in 1944 as The Pines Theater, the space has welcomed live performances from famous faces like Chet Atkins, June Carter Cash, and Roy Acuff. In fact, The Pines is where Dolly Parton played her first paying gig at the age of 10.
