TN- Drake's Bristol - Linecook

Drake’s is a neighborhood restaurant and bar with an unconventional spirit. Dedicated to giving everyone a place to come play, everything at Drake’s—from our atmosphere to our team and our menu—is designed with an infectious energy that ensures everyone leaves with a story to tell. We’re not afraid to push the boundaries (and maybe break a few rules) to give guests an experience like no other. After all, we’re the restaurant that dared to put burgers and sushi on the same menu. At Drake’s, we’re always looking for big smiles, outgoing personalities, and unique individuals to join our family. We work hard and play harder!
