The week is designed to give locals and visitors alike even more reasons to discover a favorite restaurant, try someplace new and experience all that Downtown Bristol has to offer. Downtown Bristol Restaurant Week is part of a larger, statewide spotlight on Tennessee's food and beverage community, as Tennessee Main Street launches its first statewide Restaurant Week this year.

"Downtown Bristol has an incredible food and beverage community, and we want to create an opportunity to celebrate it together," said BiB Executive Director Maggie Elliott. "Restaurant Week is about putting a big spotlight on the places that make Downtown Bristol such a special destination while encouraging people here at home to get out, explore and enjoy everything our downtown has to offer. We're excited to build on the momentum of Tennessee Main Street's statewide Restaurant Week and make this a celebration that is uniquely Bristol."
