We moved on to the Filet for dinner and it was well prepared; not an amazing filet (not as tender as I have had) but a good steak for the money. During our time we enjoyed a few cocktails that is one of the highlights of their establishment. We got there before live music started. Upstairs they had quite a line dancing event going on and we heard the stomping above us. There were a lot of folks there for line dancing, then, later, for the live music. Our waitress was good and checked on us often. Nothing but positive things to say about the overall experience.

The drinks are equally impressive, with a well-curated cocktail list and bartenders who clearly know their craft. What really sets The Reserve apart is the atmosphere. It's stylish without being pretentious, lively without being overwhelming, and always welcoming. Whether you're planning a night out with friends, a date night, or just want to unwind after a long day, The Reserve is easily the best place in the area for nightlife. It combines quality, energy, and service in a way few places can.

I stopped at The Red Fork in downtown Erwin while traveling from Atlanta to Northeast Tennessee for…read morea funeral, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional experience I had. I was traveling with my dog, who was a bit on edge from the long road trip and barked sporadically whenever people left the restaurant. Despite this, Aiden, my server, welcomed us with genuine kindness and patience. He was gracious, attentive, and completely unfazed by my dog's nerves, which made an already difficult day feel a little lighter. Because I was dining with my dog, I waited outside until the owner noticed me through the glass door. He immediately came out, warmly apologized for not seeing me sooner, and made sure we were comfortable. The apology was unnecessary -- if anything, it was definitely too cold to be dining outdoors, but I had no other option. Their hospitality made all the difference. As someone who lives in Atlanta, has dined at many excellent restaurants, and even wrote food reviews early in my career, I was genuinely blown away by the quality of the food. The wedge salad at The Red Fork is, without exaggeration, the best I have ever had. The fresh herbs, homemade dressing, and the addition of pickled onions created a layered, unexpected, and absolutely delicious flavor profile. I also loved the whipped pimento cheese served with what appeared to be homemade crackers and locally sourced chowchow. It was delightful -- one of those memorable bites you think about later. Their beer selection is also thoughtfully curated, representing a well‑balanced mix of local and regional craft brews -- IPAs, sours, lagers, and more. It's clear that care goes into every detail of the menu and beverage offerings, all locally sourced and seasonally influenced. I honestly can't believe such an outstanding restaurant exists in my hometown Tri‑Cities area. Between the exceptional food, the warm hospitality from both Aiden and the owner, and the overall welcoming atmosphere, The Red Fork provided the perfect end to a long and emotional day of travel. I will absolutely return, and I highly recommend it to anyone passing through or living nearby.

I would bring a light sweater as it was a bit cool inside with the AC on. We enjoyed our cheese dumplings and fried green tomatoes appetizer. I tout the dumplings were going to be meat filled but they were still delicious. Not sure if they are worth $14 for two. My spouse had the steak frites with side salad. I had the buttermilk chicken with two small biscuits, bread and butter biscuits and honey butter. I took the small bottle of honey home. I would not order a side of fries next time - too much for me. The coconut cake made from scratch with custard cream was delicious. The pastry chef provided us with small lemon flavored donuts which we brought home.

There wasn't live entertainment, just karaoke, which is offered in many places downtown for no cover.

There is no great view, the service is the same as any bar, it doesn't even have a nice decor; there is no reason to be charging an entrance fee. Enjoyed the visit but will not return.

My view of this place is more of a 3 and 1/2 star review. I haven't been to a speakeasy in a while…read moreand I've never been to one with my wife. This place was close to where we were having dinner at so we walked over to the place. Just walk in to the building and someone will greet you and they'll take you behind the bookshelf where you can't seat yourself. We took some of the low seats. Nothing wrong with that we were greeted with water so we had to decide what we wanted to drink. Highly recommend that you use your phone since the menus are QR code. Prices were pretty fair for the speakeasy. Restrooms were absolutely clean. A few things I noticed that kind of dropped a few Stars was that the Speakeasy was absolutely cold!It had to be about 60° inside. It took a long time for us to be served. Lastly, I noticed some of the staff drinking behind the bar. People here are absolutely friendly , you got all walks of life here and everyone here is having a great time. The staff are dressed for the occasion and it does feel intimate being inside this speakeasy. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back here again. After leaving, you leave through the back door. I do believe that the prices were a bit High compared to other visits of speakeasies I've been to but that's more so on Tennessee's part for the way they Factor checks.

This restaurant is like a mix of appalachia, middle eastern cuisine, and european techniques. The corn dogs were good, but not the table's favorite. Everyone raved the fresh ricotta with the roasted currants and pine nuts on fresh bread. The mushroom terrine was my mom's favorite dish of the night. The beef keema curry was delicious and a perfectly hearty winter meal. I loved the lamb hand pie, and the puff pastry was perfect and the filling had lovely warm spices. The beef tartare was different from what you may expect, but it was really good when you had a bite of everything, especially the sourdough chips. The ambiance could be best described as a hipster hunting lounge. It felt clean, the chairs were comfortable. Our server was really sweet and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. I look forward to coming back and seeing what's new!

I had it with the Cajun cream sauce and blackened salmon. Absolutely delicious!!!! The other dishes were blackend salmon with Pomodoro sauce and the sea bass. Ordered a side of brussel sprouts and garlic parm fries for the table to share. Bree was outstanding and our meals were all delicious.

The sushi and crab Rangoon were both great and I would definitely get again. The shrimp was ok but I've had better at different restaurants. For my entree I ordered the Chef's Pasta and opted for the Cajun cream sauce with blackened salmon. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce and salmon made it the perfect combo. Would definitely get this entree again. The service was great and our drinks never ran dry. Our waitress made several suggestions for the table and was super attentive and kind. Overall we had a great experience at Label and will be back.

Bristol is a rural town but certain areas are becoming more chic, such as this rooftop bar. I ordered a brown sugar old fashioned to start with. It was AMAZING.

It's a really great way to try the food! Food (5/5): Elevated bar food! The kitchen from the downstairs restaurant, Vivian's Table, makes the food and it is really delicious. We tried the popcorn shrimp, which are breaded and crispy. Really great. We of course, had to try the Mountain of fries - these are matchstick fries and the best part was the three different sauces that come with it. The chipotle ketchup was my favorite. We also tried the wings, which were good..I am not a huge wing fan, though. The jalapeno poppers (wrapped in bacon with a cheese filing) were great, as were the steak nachos. And of course, the hummus with the fry bread was great, too. My hubby liked the hazy IPA that was on draft. Even better at $3.50 a pint during Happy Hour. I really liked the cocktails - some of my favorite was a new espresso based tequila (for the summer menu) and the creamsicle. Service (5/5): Everyone up here is super nice - the manager Landry, bartender Raine and all the servers were really fantastic. Ambiance (5/5): Location - This is the top of the Bristol Hotel, and one of the only rooftop bars in Bristol. From the top you have a lovely view of the famous Bristol sign, great when it lights up at night.
