Awesome dive bar for making fast friends over a round of pool, karaoke’s, or classic games like darts and arcade.

If I could rate this place a hundred stars, I would. The owners are incredible people and I feel so welcome everytime I walk in! They also allow dogs, so it is my dog's favorite place, especially since they keep dog treats behind the bar :)

Excellent dive bar with great service! Nice cork dartboards and plenty of event nights throughout the month that are a must! Quickly became a go-to meet up spot for my friends and me

Driftwood is the best!! My friends and I go often and never have a bad time. The owners are so friendly, making the experience that much better.

I went to Driftwood for my best friends birthday. It was my first time there, and the environment was great! People were very friendly, drinks were good, and I would definitely go back!

Driftwood is my favorite dive in Uptown! The owners, Robin and George, are lovely. Their service is efficient, and while they don't have anything on tap, their choice of cans an bottles is plenty! Make it fun with a Mystery Shot for just $3.50 (as of right now)! The best part about Driftwood (besides Robin and George of course) is the variety of bar games they have! Your choice between dollar pool, free darts or ringing the bull. Cant forget about Touch Tunes!! If you want a laid back night with some fun- stop by Driftwood!!

Been playing euchre tournaments here for years. The owners and regulars are fantastic people. It’s refreshing to have such a down to earth bar and community here in the city

I should give this place 2 stars so people won't go here
Perfect local place. I was reading some negative reviews about the owners/bartenders and I completely disagree. In my opinion, the staff and owners are extremely friendly and make you feel welcome from the minute you walk in the door until you leave. Pay no attention to those negative reviews. This place is GREAT!!

I came here tonight hoping for a better service experience. While I appreciate the bartender for supplying a water and offering a charging port for my phone, my partner and I were kicked out with no notice as to why. We were just sitting in the corner, drinking a pineapple juice.
Edited for clarification, because I would want it if looking to visit: bartender was a middle aged woman with blonde hair. My partner and I are both LGBT+ and dressed in relatively nice clothing, nothing exposing or overdone. We were both sober and quiet. We were not belligerent or disrespectful in any manner and sat together watching some other patrons playing pool without speaking to anyone besides amongst ourselves. No inappropriate or uncalled-for behavior, as we are both people who prefer keeping to ourselves when possible. Business was slow, and we were not bothering anyone nor notified by anyone that our behavior was bothering them.
Additional edit, following owner's response below: WOW! They weren't kidding when they said the owners are quick to snap and bite back. Yikes. We purchased a pineapple juice from the bar, leaving a dollar tip on a 2 dollar tab (totaling 3 dollars). We did plan to buy an additional but were kicked out before we did so. In addition, the owner did not ask any other individuals in the bar to leave nor did they close up after we left at barely 12:30 (they close at 1/2, depending on the night). I'm impressed that business owners think it's okay to lie on reviews instead of accepting relatively neutral feedback. I will not be returning here, nor do I recommend a visit if you are a tourist/someone new to the space. I've dropped the review to 1 star as a result of the reaction from the owner on feedback (sadly, you've made your atmosphere a negative experience for me now too).

There was this short white lady around the bar; she’s indeed racist! I don’t recommend
