About The Drifter

The Drifter is a restaurant that offers a unique dining experience, featuring a tarot-inspired menu and nightly live performances, including burlesque, magic, and bubble art. The atmosphere is a modern take on Prohibition culture, with a hidden entrance and a waiting room called The Green Door Tavern. It is important to note that The Drifter is adults only, as the atmosphere can be loud and exclusive. The location and overall experience, including the performances, receive high ratings, and the staff is noted for being excellent. Although the drinks come out on tarot cards, which adds a fun touch, it is recommended to stick to personal beverage choices, as some drinks may not appeal to everyone. The venue has a 90-minute limit on tables. A notable menu item is the venison sloppy joe slider, which has received positive feedback, although some food items, like the pork belly slider, may not always be warm. The Drifter is described as a great place for a different type of date night and is considered worth the experience, even if a bit pricey. Additionally, there is an extra cost for tips for the performers, which supports rising artists.
