We ate at this place for dinner last night. My boyfriend had a 9-in pizza, thin crust which you said was very good. I had the chicken wings and fresh cut fries. I liked my meal a lot. The service was very quick and the waitress was very good. There were TVs on all of the walls however every TV had the same baseball game on. I would recommend this place to others. There was ample parking in the parking lot. It was wheelchair accessible.

Really mediocre, barely any food items and the atmosphere doesn't even exist much better places out there!

Our bartender was great. Food selection is minimal. But, burgers and fries are amazing. NO SPORTS ON TVS and they were all on the same local NEWS channel...... But there are a lot of tvs. guess that makes it a sports bar. 😆 🤣

It was busy so I sat at the bar. It took a few minutes to get waited on. The food came out in a decent amount of time. The burger was good and the fries were good and crispy. The bathrooms were sort of clean. My bartender seemed nice but I often saw her checking her phone and texting while patrons were still needing to order.

I been here on work for 2 weeks now and have only seen this place open once, I ran back to hotel clean up, by the time I make it back it's closed again.
Google maps says it open. Someone from Draft should update accordingly.

It's been closed out of business for a while now, with no updates to website... posting always says open, but they are not. It's Saturday 4:48 pm on July 12th 2025. The draft Sports Bar is closed, unlike the reply from the business that corrected my posting. The Bar is closed!

Sweet tea was not good, switched for a soda, no problem. Food was pretty good, average bar food.
Chairs are extremely uncomfortable and hard!! A gazillion TV's but played the exact same sports game on each one

Wings were good but kinda slimy on the inside.
Another review said good portions for you money and I got just a few scoop or two for an entire mac meal. It was delicious but not much bang for your buck. Still good place bartender was really busy but that's just what I experienced

The food was great and reasonably priced. The service was great. There was no rush to order and had more of a chill, laid back kinda vibe when we went.

Only downfall i can honestly tell about is that they are closed Monday and Tuesday. When they are open it's a very spacious place with a dining area , bar, slot machines and outside area. The bartender is on her A game and is very prompt.

This place is a slam dunk for sports fans. With TVs in literally every direction, you won't miss a single play—even if you try. 🏈🏀⚾ Tons of seating means you can always find your throne to rule over your wings and beer feast.

Speaking of wings… I went all in on the traditional ones with Thai chili sauce. 🍗🔥 WOW. They were seasoned to perfection, with a sauce that brought the flavor game strong. Adding ranch dressing? Judge me if you want, but it was a flavor touchdown! 🥗🍴

At 2 PM, the vibe was chill—ideal for some solo snacking or catching up with friends. But as the day wore on, you could feel the energy ramping up. I've never been here in the evening, but I bet it’s a *stadium-level party* with games, chatter, and maybe some competitive shouting. 🗣️

And let's not forget, the staff were on it like sports commentators—attentive and ensuring my cold beer never ran out. 🍺👏

This spot is truly an MVP in its category. A killer combo of great venue, tasty food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely adding this to my list of regular haunts. 🏆

My co- worker and I were in town for business, we google searched for a place to eat and found The Draft. We walked in and got a seat even though the place was fairly busy were greeted as we sat down. The bartender was very friendly and attentive, she frequently checked on us. ( not annoyingly but periodically) While we were waiting for our drinks the owner came up and greeted us, we briefly discussed appetizers and sandwiches, he had his cooks prepare fried zucchini for us try, let me be the first to say it was delicious! ( my vegetables come from ketchup and salsa-normally) We both ordered the Ruben sandwich which was also spot on. Highly recommend for people to give The Draft a visit!
