    A terrific place to not just take in the amazing views of Bristol, but also to get a terrific cocktail and some delicious food. This place is located on the roof level of the Bristol Hotel. You enter through the hotel entrance and see the lovely lobbies. Grab the elevator to the right from the entrance. Upon entering, you will be greeted by very friendly hostesses. There's an indoor bar, indoor dining space, outdoor dining, and outdoor lounge area with couches. We sat outside and it was lovely! Could see where umbrellas would be needed at the tables, but we went in the evening so it was perfect. If not, would have sat inside. Ordered drinks. They were both great. Recommend a spicy pineapple margarita. For food, we ordered the chicken wings (delicious), pickles, and the deviled eggs. The pickles are not fried but homemade and so incredibly tasty. Get them. Our server Brayden was absolutely attentive and friendly. He did a fabulous job of keeping us refilled and making sure that we had all that we needed/wanted. We snagged a parking space directly out front that had 2 hour limits, but only from 9-5. Seems as if there's ample parking around. This is a terrific spot for a lovely evening. The calendar by the elevator did advertise trivia and live music. This is right down from the country music museum. It's a great place to perch for a cocktail, apps or even dinner.

    Such a cool rooftop view! For a dual state experience, this is the place! Love the bright Bristol sign and a lovely ambience! We came on karaoke night and the singers were dang good! Country singers rock! We had wine and beer and some appetizers! Our server, Rain, was sweet and efficient! So glad we stayed at this hotel and got to hangout at this beautiful spot!!

    Cute atmosphere & amazing martinis

    My best friend has her birthday celebration here each year, and it is such a fun spot! The drinks are delicious and the service is excellent. The rooftop showcases a really pretty view of downtown Bristol. There's plenty of outdoor seating and some of the tables have a table top fire pit that makes sitting outside in November much more bearable. The inside seating area is smaller but super cozy.

    Great place for views, ambiance, and drinks! It can be busy depending on the times/days you go but I always got service quickly at the bar. Super friendly bartenders - I couldn't decide on a drink but i said i wanted something "fruity" and they were able to make something for me on the spot and it was delicious!

    Such a wonderful spot to watch the sunset over Bristol and the mountains! The drinks were on the pricier side, but it's delicious nonetheless and such a wonderful setting. Just wished it stayed open later some nights. Wonderful!

    Great sunsets from rooftop and good drinks. Food is limited as mostly bar food. Dining is downstairs but we chose to stay on the rooftop for the sunset. Ordered the Charcuterie plate to share and then burgers which were good. Sunset view and swanky atmosphere are mainly the reasons I gave 5stars as it is fairly unique for the region.

    Sweet potato fries. Excellent!

    A great start to a new bar in Bristol. Went there last Wednesday with a group of friends and they were super busy. We ordered several appetizers: smoked trout dip, sushi tuna tempura, lamb meatballs, sweet potato fries, and baked brie. Most apps were really excellent (only the lamb meatballs were average) and brought to us quickly. The bar is gorgeous inside and out and there are fireplaces outside where you can lounge around. I do wish they would forbid cigar smoking outside also! Bartenders were very friendly even though they were up to their necks as the crowd was heavier than expected that night. This is the only reason for the four stars. They could have used more bartenders that night. Oh and it is 21 and over only! I hope to return when weather is warm and enjoy the beautiful terrace.

    I've been going to State Line at least twice a week since 1998 and…read more "Never" had a bad meal, poor service or found a dirty bathroom.Their food is exceptional and I've never experienced bad service. I love their pulled pork sandwich, chicken plates and their food has always been fresh and just delicious. In 27 years of going there I have NEVER had a menu pick that wasn't very tasty or poor service. I was a high school music teacher and corporate pilot for 20 years and know what bad food and poor service really are! In addition to their great food I love their Thursday night karaoke. As a pilot who has traveled the world I always tried to find the best karaoke bars in wherever I was spending the night. I've been to karaoke bars from Oslo, Norway to Athens, Greece. Hundreds! Looking for the best karaoke bars in town that also serve food. And what I found and come to the conclusion was that State Line, in GOOD OLD BRISTOL TENNESSEE, has the best KARAOKE shows along with the BEST FOOD that could be found around the world. My apologies for this long missive. I'm retired now, my rabbits foot had no more hair on it, and have an armful of grand babies to entertain!

State line bar and grill is just a few doors down. This grill, it appears, to be in a converted warehouse space. It is likely the whole block was a warehouse which was sectioned into separate commercial properties. It has 20' ceilings with tin ceiling tiles and nice industrial wood flooring. They have live music and karaoke nights. They have a nice selection of food. Seafood, burgers, quesadillas, wings, salads, wraps ... I tried their mushroom Swiss burger which was huge, juicy and delicious. I needed to cut it in half to figure a way to attack it and a lot of napkins. A fun fact: it is the State line grill because it is in Bristol TN but you cross the street and you are in Bristol VA! If you are in the area, I highly recommend stopping in to try it out.

    Title: First (and last) visit to Cascade Draft House - rude bartender ruined it…read moreWe walked into Cascade Draft House on a sunny Friday early evening--first time, just my husband and me, excited to try local beer. Another customer handed us a menu, but it took forever for the bartender to come over. When he did, we said it was our first visit and asked for help. He suggested a couple options, poured two samples for my husband. He walked off to help another ( no biggie) I didn't care for his sample choices. I took a minute to decide, I picked mine and when the bartender brought my samples, I thanked him, he snapped, "You need to hurry up and pick one." We were floored. My husband asked if me he really said that. When he came back we ordered two of the same beer. My husband approached him calmly about his rude comment. The guy shot back, "You've had like six samples already," (4) then added, "The more samples, the more dishes I have to wash." Like we're the problem for ordering in a brewery. He laughed and joked with regulars outside--chatting, pouring beers--but treated us like we were wasting his time. We he brought our beers my husband approached him again and he said " I'm not trying to be a dick". My husband said "oh it must be busy", the bartender replied yes it's busy and I can't do orders and run the cards all at once. This is a no brainer job, as I've done it before, it doesn't get easier unless you're paid to sleep. Place wasn't even busy: eight at the bar, a party of five out back, three tables came in after we ordered. The atmosphere was relaxed, smiling and joking. Not us. We ordered a total of three beers (the dishes!) I watched this guy waste more beer by pouring it, not paying attention to what he was doing. The four samples we had didn't even create 1/4 of a cup. A woman came over to cash us out she was warm, friendly. While we were there she kept glancing over like she knew something was off, she might've heard his rude comments. The beer was very good out of Kingsport Tn, but we won't go back. The Pinnacle area has Kickback Jacks and Monroe's that also have great beer specials. Not to mention the other places downtown that serve drinks. That bartender's lucky we stayed--only because we didn't want to cut our day short, my son was with us and was enjoying some time walking around downtown area. Zero tip, I feel bad if they have to split tips at the end of the night. One bartenders rude, uncalled for,unacceptable behavior ruined it for others. I'm in Bristol once a week, have my favorite coffee shop, shopping area, a place to go for a cold one is now still in the works. If you're new, skip this place. The beer might be good, but the attitude's poison.

    Maybe I was wrong the first time. So I decided to fly in from Dallas to "The Cascade Draft House"…read moreif you want to call it that. Been hearing a lot about these M&Ms on the reviews and had to give it a look. Was looking for a Bud Light to wash down my M&Ms and to my appall no Bud Light. M&Ms were ON POINT. Couldn't have asked for a better tasty treat. The beer I decided to stomach tasted worse than my Grandfathers pee. I have tasted his pee and I prefer it over whatever I drank. I want to reiterate, M&Ms are worth the travel!

We were told there was going to be a 15 min wait, but we're seated with five minutes. We got crab Rangoon, which was delicious. The portion was fairly small for the price. But, fortunately main courses followed soon after. I got the pad thai and it was really tasty. I chose tofu as the protein, and they went fairly light on the tofu. Also, I'm used to my pod Thai having a few more bells and whistles, like more greens, sprouts, and more than one lime wedge. But, it's on me for not requesting extras of those things. I ate all of my food. The portion was just right for a sit down meal and that worked well for me because as a tourist who was bopping around town, I did not want to have a to go box. Service was friendly and attentive. The place was pretty big and fairly loud, but the tables were spaced well between each other so we weren't impacted by the noise on either side. If you're trying to find a place that multiple people will agree on, this isn't a bad choice because they have a variety of different cuisines. Overall, I would definitely stop back at some point, though I might not seek it out as my top choice for a place to eat in the area.

However, this place clearly gets packed in the evening. There were lots of brews and ciders. They seem to rotate quite a bit, and there's a mix between local options and options from other states. A huge plus is very LGBTQ+ friendly without explicitly being a queer spot. Rainbows everywhere. The bartender told us that a local podcast offered to make them coasters and he said yes, but only if they make them as queer as possible. They were playing some alt music on a record. Also, locals were super friendly and engaged us tourists in convo. Lastly, there's a limited selection of games- so we played a little trivia game and had fun with it. Overall, I would definitely include this spot when bar hopping again. It is an easy walking distance of a lot of great stuff and it was easy enough to get to, even though it isn't on the main drag.

It's on a small, one way side street but there was parking nearby. When we approached the front door we instantly noticed they were LGBTQ+ friendly which made it even better. Our stop was early in the evening, probably around 5 so it wasn't busy. We were greeted by a friendly bartender and he gave us time to look over the menu. My first choice was the Limonada Hard Italian Soda. This was absolutely delicious! The tartness from the lemons was noticeable but not over powering and this was a very drinkable beverage. I don't like seltzers at all, yes this wasn't a seltzer but it did have a bit of carbonation that I did not mind. The other customers inside were friendly but not awkward, especially for us being the only 2 women in there at the moment the bartender was super friendly and they had a nice selection of local brews from the area. My wife ordered a peanut butter and jelly beer from the Knoxville TN area as her 2nd drink. PB & J beer doesn't sound so appealing but OMG it was phenomenal. It was the perfect balance and tasted like a PB&J liquid sandwich. Honestly I can wait until I find some in the store nearby. This is a nice, no frills, friendly stop yo grab a drink in Bristol.

She has some other plans for those upper floors once the finishing touches on first 2 are completed. The hall is absolutely beautiful and top of the line everything (see pics)! The tables are all new Brunswick billiard tables. One section is set up for the professional tournaments with stadium style seating and announcers booth. There are 2 bars and great food food available like wings, burgers, pizzas and I was told, wonderful sandwiches. We loved the place so much, we are going back tomorrow!
