OUR MISSION
Established in 2016, Drifters Bar and Grille has become a popular landmark in the Pierre / Fort Pierre area for locals and visitors alike. Docked alongside the Missouri, our crew is driven to provide the best dining and event experience on the river. We love our South Dakota roots and believe there’s no better way to bring people together than through local food and drinks. Visit us to make your own memories on the Missouri.

OWNER
For as long as I can remember, the Missouri River has been a place where memories are made with my family and friends. Growing up, I dreamt of being able to facilitate that experience for my community and those passing through. It brings me incredible joy to welcome regulars and new visitors each year and hope Drifters will be a bright spot in your memories. Thank you for being a part of our story.

EXECUTIVE CHEF
It's been an exhilarating ride to be a part of the mission-driven focus of creating the ultimate dining experience on the Missouri. Our menu is thoughtfully planned and curated with our guests in mind, all while supporting local producers in everything we create from our burgers to our bites. We can't wait to welcome you to a seat around our table.
KAYLA
EVENTS DIRECTOR
We've created something truly special by pairing a dining experience with an event center that has unbelievable views of the Missouri River. From conferences to weddings, Drifters has become a top hosting destination for many. I take the stress out of planning so that my clients enjoy their events instead of sweating the small stuff. No two days are ever the same and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for putting your trust in the Drifters team.
