We went here on Blackout Wednesday, and you only had 2 bartenders. I felt so bad for them. They got their butts kicked! It took about 30 minutes to get a bucket of drinks. We weren't upset because it obviously wasn't their fault, but the scheduler really should have done them better.That aside, the place looked great, and the bartenders were very kind!

Went to drifts for a Sunday drink and was greatly disappointed! Service was seriously sad! Waitress serviced the table near us and walked past us so had to go in the get a drink and the barmaid couldn't seem to wait on us and another couple! Had one drink and left. New ownership has let this establishment go down hill since in the past it was a happening place to go and enjoy.

An absolutely beautiful establishment.Great live music.Arrived and had two servers walk past my friend and I four times. 11 minutes later, I went to the bar to get drinks. The bartender was pleasant.We drank half our drinks, and because we have never been here, wanted to check out the deck area. We were yelled at by a young server “Hey we’re closing! Can you come get your phones?” It was 959 pm. They locked the doors on us.With 13 patrons still here, that was odd and rude.Then they went to the bar and laughed about it, commenting so we could hear. Then obnoxious rap music proceeded.I want to love this place and I want to say I’ll be back. After today, probably not. I went to high school once.

Service was awesome, we were able to bring our dog out on the patio and the waitress brought her water. Beautiful views of the river too, definitely coming back!

Drinks were good and service was great. Our server Tannis was very on top of things but not too invasive. We had a great time and would recommend to anyone!

Finally had the chance to check this place out and absolutely fell in love. The food was great and our server Mackenzie was friendly and quick to get our needs met. Definitely recommend checking them out. We’ll definitely be checking them out again ourselves!

The scenery is just breath taking, especially stopping in while the sun is setting. Amazing drinks, which was brought to us by the best server I’ve had in a while, Tannis. She was always coming back to make sure everything was well and taken care of. Definitely coming back!

Emma was absolutely wonderful! Even in all the craziness she was attentive and took great care of us and our daughter. Keep up the great work, music was on point, food was bomb. Great time!Kid-friendliness: A lot of times on special events like this weekend, kids and families tend to be overlooked. Emma did not do this in the slightest and made us all feel welcome and a part of the party!

This place is great! I love the indoor and outdoor seating, the view of the river looks amazing. The bartenders were super friendly, especially Paiton, she was so helpful and made the experience even better!
