Great place. Games are great bowling is awesome. Bartender, Jake. Great guy, treated us very well. We had quite a few drinks, a little food and played the games. All around great experience. Jake will make your experience even better! Bowling is not really advertised on the website. It’s $30 per hour, up to six (6) people, only two lanes so get there early. Worth it 100% and I’m a bowling fanatic.

Beware and check your credit card!!! I came here with some friends and both of our cards were charged a 71% tip which we both did not leave. I tried to call the hotel to talk about this manner and they keep transferring me to voicemails and telling me they would call me back and never did. Stay away!

This place is fun! Management is all about hospitality, the food is delicious (I recommend the slider dish), and they have live music and lots of fun games to keep you and your party engaged and entertained. The drinks are delicious and, for goodness sake, there's a bowling alley in there! It's a must if you visit downtown Asheville!

Enjoyed the games available in the basement bar. Including shuffleboard bowling connect four and Jenga. Not too crowded on a Friday night

I’m surprised this place doesn’t have more reviews! The atmosphere is awesome! Free games like ski ball, pin ball, pac man, janga and more for costumers. The food is amazing. Highly recommend the Mac and cheese and the cheese curds. The drinks at the bar are well worth your money. Over all my favorite place to go when I visit!

How do I make a reservation? Thanks HC

Fun place to visit in Asheville. I really like the uniqueness of the place. Drinks, sports, arcade, bowling... There is something for everyone to spend a good time. I did not eat anything so I can't judge the food.

Nice place to chill and enjoy a band. They have bowling lanes!! Lots of people were bowling, playing pool, video games, lots of cool table games. Drink prices are kinda high. $8-9 for a beer is rough. But, you pay for the ambience I suppose.

The customer service here is literally UNMATCHED! We had the bartender JASON who was seriously ICONIC! and I wish I can bring him back to Miami with me ! Omg the drinks he made us were so good! And he’s so amazing and personable! He was like on point when we were ready to take pics! He knew exactly what I needed when I told him what I was already drinking before I got here. He even changed the channel to espn with a smile on his face ! He cracked jokes too ??. But seriously ! The food was sooo good! Seasoned ! The buffalo cauliflower was TOP TIER! And the chicken sandwich woooooo!! (Rick flair!) omg to die for ! Mouth watering ! Ok I’m done because I can literally go on and on about JASON and this amazing establishment !! Thank you so much for great customer service ?

Unfortunately The Draftsman does not offer a diverse menu to include non-alcoholic options. When asked, they said we can go to the upstairs bar in the hotel for NA options. It is puzzling how both bars offerings seem misaligned, when in the same building. Oftentimes machines aren’t working, and I’ve never seen the bowling area open for bowling. It’s a beautiful space with lots of games, but there are some misses that leadership should consider.

Very nice place. We had a group party here and we were able to have plenty of room for everyone to mix and mingle without being crowded. The food was amazing!

One of the bartenders was an absolute jerk for no reason. Not like the rest of the hotel. Staff look angry and weren’t efficient.
