    Kylie and I just ate here for the first time.
    First impression was great. It's big and spacious.

    We were super excited that they had Ace Pineapple cider on tap.
    We ordered the wings, French dip sliders, and lava pockets. The wings were excellent, and actually crispy, which most restaurants fail to achieve. The sliders were good, but the gravy was definitely instant broth. I can't believe I'm saying it, but I would recommend eating the sandwiches without the gravy. The lava pockets tasted exactly like Totino's pizza rolls, so take that however you want.

    Really, my only gripe was the bill. We were well within the happy hour timeframe, but our bill didn't seem to reflect the discounts. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think our drinks, sliders, or pizza rolls had the happy hour discount applied. Without the expected discounts, I think our bill was $11 more than it should have been.

    All in all, we were happy with the food and service, so we'll be back.

    Let me tell you a story... I walked into The Draft Sports Grill, in the front there was a sign that said "please seat yourself" or something along those lines, so I did.

    I was near the bar and I waited a few minutes, I felt unnoticed, almost abandoned... I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the bartender (a husky guy with a beard and curly hair) noticed that none of the servers had even approached me. He watched for a few seconds and looked around to see if any waitresses/servers were available. There were none. He didn't notice but I was watching him too... he was busy with 15 people sitting at the bar, yes 15 people, I counted.

    For the first time in my entire life at least for the first time I ever noticed in my entire life, a bartender, A BARTENDER!!! Came from behind his busy counter to do the job of a waiter/waitress/server. Whatever this guy is getting paid, it needs to be doubled at the least. He did an amazing job serving all the people at the bar and me, all at the same time as well as at least one other table.

    He seriously saved this from being a 3 or more likely 4 star review.

    If your reading this, do yourself a favor and if you see this guy, curly rustic hair with a beard and a bit husky, sit at the bar or whatever his section is; sit back and enjoy watching sports on tv and don't worry about your beer going empty or being served cold food.

    As an added note, place is clean, menu is well written, great daily specials as well as happy hour. I have no complaints about the food, it was fresh and well presented.

    There is an outdoor patio, floors are clean, aside from the servers/ waitresses/waiters need to be a little more observant (luckily they have an awesome bartender) this place is near perfect!!

    I will be back!

    It's too bad because this place could be great. The food was pretty good and they had good specials for a Sat night. The only negative was the staff.  It started as soon as we walked in. No one greeted us so we could get a seat. We went to a high top at first and grabbed some menus from an empty table next to us to look at the food/drinks.

    We then noticed that there was a good amount of TV's at the bar so we went to sit there instead. The bartender actually asked for the menus back to put them at the table that we were sitting at to only give us the same menus from behind the bar and looked put off that he had to do it.

    We then made an order for drinks, I ordered a domestic beer and was asked if I want a 16 or 22 oz beer. I asked for a 16 oz, come to find out that after I got the beer that they have a special on 22 oz that was not mentioned. The second one I ordered was the 22 oz and told the bartender that I did not know they were on special. He stated that yes they are on special all day...thanks for letting me know buddy...

    Overall the staff especially the bar staff are very cold there as I have seen in other reviews.  It is too bad that if you are not in their "click" they are not very friendly. Being friendly is how you get regular customers.

    I was looking for a new regular sports bar to go to...clearly I still need to look as I will not be going back here.

    I will be 100% honest and I have only been here for lunch with clients and most of the time we sit at the bar because they have every sporting event available and 10-12 TV's.  The food is much better than normal bar food and the daytime bartender is amazing with her service.  Try one of the burgers or the nachos- they feed 4 easily.  I hear that it is a great crowd for MMA and Sunday football but have never been.

    Italian Beef Beer Bread
    The draft recently changed their menu. They now have food that is served on beer bread. I think they need to clarify their version of "beer bread" is a wrap vs a sandwich.  I have had beer bread many times in my life but have never seen it in tortilla form. The service was excellent and the waitress was very accommodating. Just wish I had a heads up I was ordering a wrap vs a sandwich.
