PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The restaurant at Bousquet Mountain will reopen under new management.

 

The McNinch Restaurant Group will operate Drifters Bar & Restaurant, opening on Dec. 12. 

 

McNinch Restaurant Group is operated by father and son duo John and Tucker McNinch. They currently own and operate Patrick's Pub and the 101 Restaurant and Bar in the Holiday Inn. 

 

"I think we have a strong understanding of Bosquet's culture, the clientele there, who they're trying to reach, who are with the ski mountain itself as well as the general area," said Tucker McNinch. "It felt like a connection that was meant to happen."

 

The partnership happened quite fast. The group was reached out to in October by Bousquet and will open the restaurant this Friday. 

 

Bousquet General Manager Kevin McMillan said they are excited to start working with them.

 

"John and Tucker have a really great reputation in town. They really understand Pittsfield and Pittsfield market, and we're a local ski area, and our goal is always to try and serve the Pittsfield community. And I just think this is just a perfect partnership between the two organizations," he said. "We're really excited to start working with them."
