If you live in Murfreesboro, it is impossible to not have noticed how much our city is growing. This is especially apparent with the development of Clari Park, a new mixed-use area that will include apartments, condos, office spaces, and more. Within Clari Park, there will also be plenty of new restaurants to check out, expanding Murfreesboro’s already thriving food scene. One restaurant that will be open soon is Drake’s, which already has a few locations in Tennessee, and more across both the midwest and the south.
Drake’s in Murfreesboro will be located at 2614 Roby Corlew Ln. Murfreesboro, TN 37129, according to the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce website as of September 2024.
You might be wondering what makes Drake’s different, and why it’s so popular in other cities. The answer is simple: good food late at night. Having later hours than most restaurants is central to Drake’s philosophy, and the reason it was founded in the first place. Although the Murfreesboro hours haven’t been released yet, other locations in Tennessee are open until 12am Sunday-Thursday, and until 1am Friday and Saturday, with the kitchen closing an hour before last call. This is significantly later than most other restaurants, making the ideal spot to catch a game or keep your office’s happy hour going.
The Drake’s Murfreesboro page on the official Drake’s website markets itself as “a restaurant that loves beer and a bar that loves food,” which is clear with both an extensive menu and 20 craft beers on tap. They also have great variety on their menu, from all-American burgers to fresh sushi. They also have an excellent selection of house made cocktails and mocktails! With a menu that is great for kids and adults alike, Drake’s is sure to be a new go-to in Murfreesboro. Be sure to keep an eye out for opening dates, since this is a spot you will definitely want to try.
