Restaurants and Bars

Our favorite spot on campus! Seriously fabulous coffee and snacks, as well as sandwiches and salads supported by local farms and growers. You can't get it better than here! Relaxed cafe set in a historic house offering breakfast and lunch, plus coffee drinks and a dog-friendly patio.

Stirling's Coffee House

LUNCH focuses on local ingredients, with an emphasis on seasonality, togetherness, and community. The lunch counter features a rotating menu based on what's harvested being harvested by our farmers. Alongside fresh baked goods, coffee, snacks, and craft beers, we also have dry goods, picnic provisions, and LUNCH made treats in our market.

LUNCH

Mountain Goat Market has some of the best sandwiches and pizzas in all of the Southeast! The restaurant in Monteagle was featured in Southern Living among other publications, and was Hunter and Meredith's favorite places to grab food while in college.

Mountain Goat Market

A great place to grab a beer and sit on the porch with friends. They also offer a variety of sandwiches, pizzas, burgers, and other pub food and has been the longest standing restaurant in Sewanee.... you can tell by the buildings lean!

Shenanigans

Hiking, Biking, and Other Outdoor Attractions

Bluff Views

Sewanee is well known for its plethora of beautiful bluff views at different parts of campus, some of our favorites include Greens View at the end of Greens View road, “The Cross” at the end of Tennessee Ave, “Morgan’s Steep” accessible from South Carolina Ave to Morgans Steep Rd, and Proctors Hall which can be found from Tennessee Ave to Proctors Hall Rd, then turn off the little gravel drive. Greens View is great for a sunrise, the Cross, Morgan’s Steep and Proctor’s Hall are best at sunset.

The Perimeter Trail

This 26+ mile trail system skirts the perimeter of Sewanee. Take it by foot or by mountain bike! If you don’t want to do the whole thing, some of our favorite sections include The Gates of Sewanee to Greens View via Shakerag Hollow, Morgan’s Steep to Proctors Hall, and Proctors Hall to the Cross. Maps are available at Mountain Outfitters.&nbsp;

Abbos Alley

Abbo’s Alley is a great, short walk through the woods right through the heart of campus. This begins near the football field through the wrought iron gates and ends on South Carolina Avenue, but has options to exit at the ATO Spring, the Fowler Center, and right across from All Saints Chapel.&nbsp;

Tennis and Pickleball

The University of the South offers outdoor tennis courts right next to the Sewanee Inn and Indoor Pickleball and Tennis courts at the Fowler Center on Texas Ave.
