As the final notes of Margarita Monday fill the air tonight, we will be cherishing the memories we created, the conga lines we danced, and the many many $5 margs we cheered 🎷💃 It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to this tradition and we cannot thank Frog & Toad's Dixie Quartet enough for being a special part of Babalu’s journey. We are extremely grateful for the atmosphere they created and the memories they instilled 🧡

To continue supporting the band, please follow them on social media to check out their upcoming shows! We will certainly see you there!

It is with deep appreciation and sadness that we share this difficult news: After nearly a decade in downtown Knoxville, and four unforgettable years under our ownership, Babalu will be closing its doors on June 29th.

We are deeply grateful for the memories, friendships, and meals we’ve shared with the Knoxville community. As we enter our final month, we invite you to stop by, raise a glass, and help us celebrate the incredible team and community that made Babalu so special. 🧡

We are closed today to allow our staff to spend time with friends & family. Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸
