Bourbons is a gem in Downtown Brighton that focuses on smoked and southern food with crafty cocktails and beer. The restaurant is on Main Street next to Mill Pond, at the height of the downtown action. The immersion into Brighton is felt on the patio, where the windows are open during the warm seasons, and you can watch the activity of the streets.

The menu is diverse but chic to appeal to every patron. Bourbon’s was awarded the Diners’ Choice award in 2023. The talented chefs fuel their meals with ingredients from our region and the south, blending to celebrate southern fare’s delicious simplicity. Consider starting with the burnt ends of the pork belly or the fig and pear pizza when perusing the menu. Then, move into the main plates that feature those flares of the south, like the Bourbon Street burger or the French dip. There are various handheld creations and pizza, in addition to the main entrees such as the cajun ratatouille and the Shrimp & Crawfish Etouffee.

Check out the award-winning happy-hour menu served in the upscale bar and lounge area every Tuesday through Friday. The altered menu features the Bourbons Nashville hot chicken sliders, smoked chicken wings, flatbread, and hummus with pita bread. Plus, choose from decadent cocktails like the Lynchburg Lemonade in addition to a select menu of wine and beer.
