Grumpy's began as a few river guides sat around an outpost on weekends and listened to bluegrass music back in the 80's.
Gradually the bluegrass gave way to Rock N' Roll and
an energetic river crowd dancin' the night away.
Walls went up, a roof was erected and
Grumpy's Ocoee River Rockhouse was born.
Bands from around the South would clamor to play at Grumpy's
for the rambunctious river people. If you were looking for some fun, good music and dancin' while you were in the Ocoee area
you couldn't go wrong with Grumpy's.
Grumpy's has now been reborn.
Closed since 2002, Grumpy's is what Polk County night life
is all about.
At Grumpy's you will find one of the most diverse crowds around.
People of all types clamor to Grumpy's for a cold beer and great music and dancin'.
If you're in the Ocoee area and are in the mood for a great time, Grumpy's is a must.
Come back each week to hear great live bands.
The Chattanooga Times says:
" Perhaps the proximity to
a national forest is what attracts people
to a club called Grumpy's.
Maybe it's that burlap ceiling,
or the pea gravel floor.
Then again it could be
the get-your-priorities-straight
dance floor, which is solid concrete.
But it might be
the potent combination of clientele,
a crowd that includes
Ocoee River raft guides,
paddlers, tourists
and good ol' boys.
At any rate, what started as a gathering place for whitewater river guides
has evolved into one of
the more rollicking bars
in Southeast Tennessee."
