Great Place to Party

by MissBartender

This is a fun spot, as a bartender at a sports bar I try to stay away from Bars on my days off, but some how the Draft is very different. It has an easy crowd and a friendly staff. The real reason to go, is for the entertainment. On tuesdays they have a partyoke with DJ Nice and its so....not your average karaoke its young and fresh music and the people can sing. On saturday nights DJ Nice is back and Rocks the place, He is so....amazing! It gets so....live that it feels like a club. Many of my friends prefer to go there now then the hot clubs in Hollywood. So next time your looking for a fun place, check out the Draft on tuesday or saturday nights, you wont be disappointed!

  • Pros: Amazing Dj, Great bar

Rude Service

by Ann Eagle

I was part of a large group on a busy night. Gratuity had been added to our bill ($54.00) and I added some extra into my portion of the bill. But, I guess that wasn't enough. The server actually ASKED for more.

Dudes with Attitude and no ladies

by brian S

So we stop in for a beer one night, and are sitting at the bar. My SO can't see the names on tap so asked what they were pouring, and the bartender just replies "read the names." If she wasn't blind without her contact she would have. When i come out of the bathroom she just wants to leave, but I persuade her to move to a table.

Waitress comes over to take our order, but SO is in the bathroom. She comes out grossed out by how dirty it was. And with no women in the place except her and the waitresses, she insists we leave. It was too loud with the game broadcast to talk anyway.

Not coming back.

  • Pros: Lots of screens for sports action, nice waitresses
  • Cons: Bartenders from hell
