Alcoholic Beverages
Unlike neighboring Gatlinburg and Sevierville, Pigeon Forge has remained a dry jurisdiction of the state (Tennessee is dry by default), with a few select premises opting to sell low-alcohol beers and some wines.
Certain sections of Pigeon Forge, specifically religious leaders, have been contentious regarding Pigeon Forgeans' ability to buy and sell alcohol. Jake Suttles, assistant pastor at Liberty Baptist Church, has said:
"I see the heartbreak that comes with alcohol. It’s still a sin. it’s still another step from where it was in 1985. Things are changing slowly and I know it’s not just Pigeon Forge; it’s the whole world. But if they want to drink, let them go to Myrtle Beach. Let them go to Gatlinburg."
