The Vols are headed to Omaha for the College World Series and will face off against LSU.

If you're not planning to make the trek to Nebraska, there are plenty of places around Knoxville to catch Saturday's game.

If you're planning on heading out, getting a drink and grabbing a bite to eat, here are places to cheer on the Vols with friends, family and like-minded strangers. Make sure to grab a fresh orange T-shirt, too.

The Vols will take diamond against the Tigers June 17 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.

When you think of watching a game and grabbing a beer, sports bars are likely where your mind goes.

With wall-to-wall TVs, plenty of your favorite bar food and kegs of beer, traditional sports bars are the ideal place to catch the game with the rowdiest fans around.

Luckily, there are plenty to choose from in and around Knoxville, including:

Other Knoxville bars and breweries

Maybe you want a more lowkey experience than what a sports bar provides. Less screaming and less of an emphasis on the game.

Knoxville has plenty of sports bars, but it has just as many restaurants and breweries to provide a more casual viewing. You could check out places like Knox Brew Hub, Schulz Brau Brewing Company or Yee-Haw Brewing Company.

However, before you go to your favorite place, call ahead to make sure they will televise the games. Nothing would be more disappointing than sitting down for a meal and having to stream the game on your phone, or miss it all together.
