We came here in the summer when it was warm enough to sit outside and there were bands playing on the sidewalk. The vibes were great, with a very diverse crowd and staff. The food was very good Eastern European classics, some with little twists. Nothing spectacular but everything solid for a fair price. Would definitely go back.

Went there a few days ago to see my friend perform there.
I ordered the cevapi and cider whilst my other friend ordered the pirogies.
The food was delicious, the portions were good and priced decently. It’s pretty spacious inside as well with patio sitting outside and tables lining the walls, with the floor free for people to stand and watch & vibe out to the performers.
My only gripe is that it can get pretty hot and humid inside, granted the weather that day was 30+, so dress appropriately if you’re going there on a hot and humid day.

Great live music

Visited around 10pm on Friday night, self service bar, witch is fine. But a busser as he called himself didn’t even wiped a table, but did it for other people, brought and took back the menu - was weird. Overall unpleasant experience, and it was a highly recommended place to visit. Sad

Always a great choice for who love multicultural live music. Queer brunch is one of my favorite events happening in Drom once a month.

A year ago I would have given them a much better review but this year service and food have noticeably dropped. They have eliminated the gluten-free options much to my dismay and the fries that I did order were overcooked and very greasy. The wait staff seemed far more interested in socializing with their outside friends hovering at either end of the sidewalk patio where they smoked joints ruining the air as people tried to eat their dinners. It took forever to get served, waiting for them to finish chatting up their pals. I am told the restaurant hasn’t changed ownership, so perhaps a new cook and someone not doing their due diligence in hiring staff. I do like some of the musical talent that performs there but am very reluctant to go back with this kind of service. Hire some grownups.

I wish I could give this place zero stars for the service.

I went there for a drink on the patio on Sunday evening. After 30 minutes, no one came to take my order — such a waste of my time. If it’s beyond your capacity, you shouldn’t let customers in without informing them first.

Nice outdoor atmosphere especially with a band. Nice server. Food is overpriced and portions are small.

Excellent music!! (A bit hard to carry a conversation depending on where you're sitting though). The food was tasty, although a bit bland for my liking. Ask for the hot sauce ($2 extra).

We went to Drome Taberna for a birthday with a group of 9, and the experience was very disappointing. Service was slow and inattentive, it took over 40 minutes to get two drinks and even though we cancelled them, it was added to the bill, and water was never refilled, even after several requests.

We had a birthday cake, but after waiting over 30 minutes for them to bring it out, we had to get it ourselves. A server came over in a rush insisting we pay the bill, even though we hadn’t asked for it. And there were several errors in the bill.

We paid $15 each for live music, but it ended so early that some of our guests didn’t even get a chance to hear it and they weren’t even that late.

The overall service didn’t match the energy or occasion. Wouldn’t return or recommend.

We went to Drome Taberna for my sister’s birthday and were charged $15 each for live music — but the music ended very early, and there was none by the time some guests arrived.
Service was also poor. Our bill had multiple errors, and when we asked for corrections, the server gave us attitude. Drinks we ordered never came, yet were still added to the bill. When we asked to cancel them, we were told they were “coming,” but we just wanted to leave.
On top of it all, a large group charge was added, despite the service being well below expectations. Wouldn’t return and don't recommend.

Reply to the Owner: You guys better stay here! The bouncer or doorman is who I was referring to of i wasn't clear 😆

Wouldn't recommend this to anyone again! The bouncer or entrance guy was 👎. Literally it's empty inside yet he told us it's full no entry. Then randomly let people who just walked in beside us in without reservations. Terrible on you DROM. Move to 🇺🇸

Staff is aggressive, confrontational, and discriminatory. I used to like this bar because it was fun, chill, and inclusive. Sadly, it has become the exact opposite. Expect to be interrogated at the door and denied entry because they don't like the look of you.

Great spot if you are not too fussed about cleanliness. Vibe is great
The owner does not like to receive feedback about cleanliness
