Do not order Buffalo Trace here. It’s $20 for a drink! Bowling didn’t work.

Food was great, but some things on the menu were not available. Ordering system is chaotic, but it's bar, so that's expected. Atmosphere was excellent and good to hang out and relax.

Seems like a really cool place, but we tried to go on a Sunday during the day and they had closed because people called out. No problem, we tried back the next Monday night, and called prior to make sure they were open. Was told they were open and we took a long treck through the winter cold breeze all the way here to find out it was closed for a private event. Seems like a nice place to vibe and hang, but lack of communication is really hurting their profits.

Fun spot, food is ok but good for late night bar food. Bowling alley is epic

I did not eat here - my score is for the drinks. Not great - for the same price you can get some better cocktails. The service is good. The all you play games are a lot of fun. If I go back it will be to have a beer. Note bowling does have a cost but all other games are free.

Stopped in for a burger due to great reviews and wasn’t disappointed. It was quiet since it was a Monday evening but food and atmosphere was great!
Definitely need to come back on the weekends!

We stopped by The Draftsman while celebrating my bachelorette party in Asheville. The food was delicious, drinks were well made, and atmosphere was fun/ inviting. The real gem of the Draftsman was the bartender, Selena. Not only did she make the best drinks, she was personable, funny, and professional. She was so amazing that we had to visit again to see her and the live music later that night. The whole team: Selena, Lily, Oscar, and Luke made it an unforgettable experience!

Better than you could imagine. Something for everyone. Coming back every time I’m in Asheville. Lauren was incredible. You won’t be disappointed!

We visited this bar a couple of nights during our stay because the staff was truly next level. The bar bites were fantastic—don’t miss the deviled eggs! But what really made the experience unforgettable were the people. Selena, Lily, Oscar, and Luke deserve all the recognition. They weren’t just making drinks and taking orders—they created an atmosphere where we felt like regulars. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine personalities made every interaction fun and memorable. They gave spot-on recommendations, crafted amazing cocktails, and still took the time to connect with us in such a genuine way. Service like this is rare, and it turned our hotel bar visit into one of the highlights of our trip. Absolutely loved staying here and can’t wait to come back to see this incredible team again! If you get to see Lyric play and sing, you’re in for a treat!
