Knock Knock Tavern

Knock Knock Tavern settles comfortably into the rhythm of Waveland’s evenings as a down-to-earth gathering place where locals and visitors alike can unwind without fuss. Its atmosphere strikes an easy balance between lively and laid-back, a place where the music fills the room but doesn’t shout, and the lighting invites you to settle in whether you’re chasing a late night out or simply looking for a familiar spot to catch up with friends.

Stepping inside, you’re greeted by the hum of good conversations, the clatter of pool balls, and the occasional burst of karaoke bravado. There’s a genuine sense of community here that is both welcoming and unpretentious — a bar where the bartenders know names and orders, and where each visit feels like slipping into a well-worn pair of shoes. The pace isn’t rushed; it invites you to savor the moment without distraction.

The menu matches the spirit of the place perfectly: hearty, comforting, and thoughtfully crafted. Whether it’s golden-browned oyster po’boys served with a forkful of nostalgia or freshly grilled chicken wraps paired with crisp, homemade onion rings, the food complements the convivial vibe. This isn’t the kind of place to find overly polished plates but dishes that come with warmth and a touch of Southern soul — meals that feel like they belong to the company around the table.

More than just a bar, Knock Knock delivers layers of experiences under one roof: an oyster bar’s charm, the casual thrill of a sports bar, and the pulse of live music that animates the evenings. The presence of dartboards, pool tables, and a well-curated jukebox invites guests to take ownership of their night — whether it’s a lively sing-along, a competitive round of darts, or simply soaking in the soundtrack of local life.

There’s something distinctly human in the way patrons drift in to share stories over a cold Guinness or a freshly pulled Bud Light, often staying longer than planned. It feels like a place where everyone is free to be themselves — a relaxed dive with a heart, where the atmosphere is crafted by its people as much as by its offerings. The Knock Knock isn’t just a stop along US-90; it’s an experience stitched into the fabric of Waveland’s night.
