The Draft Bar & Grille

Wow how is this place still open??? The only thing worse than the food is the staff.
Unfortunately I have been here a few times only because it used to get crowed and I put up with the terrible service, but now it’s dead all time. I guess everyone else got sick of the bad food, rude staff, and dirty bathrooms.
The only people who gave this over one star probably work there and where told to post a review to get there score higher.

Made a last minute stop at midnight on the way through Cinci. Great choice of beer on tap and the owner was super attentive, giving us 2 flights of beer tasting and the story behind each beer. Great bar food and fun atmosphere! Thanks for a fun evening!

I’ve been to quite a few bars and pubs over the years. In my neighborhood and around the world. The Draft is by far one of the worst. It’s not that it’s dirty or disgusting, in fact, in that regards its not so bad. It just sucks in every other possible way.
This is not based on one visit. This is based on several visits, at different times, on different days.
First off, drinks. Yes they have beer, wine and other drinks. In that department they’re fine. Prices, not bad. Unfortunately that’s where the good part of my review stops.
The food, not great. I’ve tried a few things here and there and I’ve never been impressed. Very substandard garbage.
The service, also not great. Now, I’ve had better luck going up to the bar. I have noticed that there’s a few guys who work behind the bar that are pretty good and attentive. Solid bar tenders. In fact, the table service is so bad, I’ve had to go to the bar more often when I’m sitting at a table or booth because we can’t get a server to come back to our table. Not only have some of the servers proved themselves to be less than worthless, there is no regard for their lack of service when it is pointed out or brought to their attention. Some of the worst I’ve seen.
If you go there earlier in the day or around dinner time, maybe just before dinner time, you will find families and kids. Not a bad atmosphere. They’re eating crap food, but at least they’re not assholes. But after that, the red carpet is rolled out for the douchebags and its nothing but trouble. I’ve had some pretty interesting experiences with some of the dirt bags that come into this bar.
Would I go back? Let’s just say that I’m pretty sure the last time I was there will remain to be the last time. I have no interest in going back. We have a handful of choices in our area for local bars. Many of them are so much better than this place. I honestly have a hard time finding why this place stays in business. There is no draw to it. I can go down the street to Putter’s, with no problem. Sometimes the service might be a little lacking there, but it’s typically because they’re always busy. Plus, they actually have good food. So, if you have no standards for food and you’re a complete tool, The Draft is the place for you! Have fun.

Sometimes you will get nor so good waiters but one time this one waitress gave us free Shirley Temple. That was great and burger Tuesdays are great!

5 stars for their specials/​happy hour. This place gets it, great daily specials for food and drinks. Plenty of tvs and seating. Loaded fries and boneless wings are good. Haven’t tried their overstuffed sandwiches or burgers yet, but I’ve heard good things. Kitchen is open til 2:30am! Give it a try, you’ll spend ¼ of what you would at another similar establishment.

Just went to happy hour here on a Thursday 6pm. The place was 25% filled. The waitress struggled to tell us the happy hour specials. After we ordered our two drinks it took 15+ min to get them. Then they brought me the wrong drink. Then it took another 15 min to order food. We ordered soft pretzels and mozzarella sticks. The worse food ever and not cheap. The two food items took 20 min. After we ordered food the waitress never came back… ever! Our waitress had four tables. The place was dark and had the radio or tv very loud. Tried it once, never again.

Call 911. The salt and fat may kill me. Save yourselves. Stay home, it is too late for me!

I went to the Draft for the first time on Monday evening for Last Call trivia. It was crowded, but the wait staff did a very nice job handling everyone in a timely manner. The place is very inviting, clean and decorated well. I had the fish sandwich and tater tots (yum — tater tots) which were both good. My bill for the sandwich, tots, and two glasses of wine was only $ 15. I thought that was extremely reasonable. They also get a good crowd for trivia and the host did a fabulous job. Kudos.

They are ironing the bugs out. Best sandwich is the over stuffed turkey with cole slaw and fries in the sandwich. FRESH draft beer, and not your typical selections and these change regularly. One of the few places to find Brooklyn Lager.

I went here on the way home recently to try it for myself. I had heard mixed reviews when it opened so I wanted to wait until the kinks were worked out.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised. We were a large group of kids and adults and we made the last few minutes of happy hour.
The staff was very friendly and the happy hour specials are fantastic and abundant. Since it was Thursday, the daily special was liquor pitchers for five bucks. The draft beer selection is very good and the menu is your typical bar food.
I chose the burger and it was tasty and grilled nicely. They brought it out with all the fixings and fries for a great process too.
The only reason I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars was the fact that the server was not attentive as he could have been.
Overall it was a good weekday stop afterwork to unwind or after a kids practice for a fun family dinner.

If you’re in the market for junk food and beer, the Lucky Dog Tavern in Liberty Township will be a guaranteed hit.
We ventured into this corner joint on a Sunday evening. The bar itself had about eight patrons drinking and the Phillie game; the dining area held two couples and a large family, the kids were enjoying the two pool tables that the tavern offers while the parents guzzled beers and gorged on wings.
The menu was everything you could want at a sports bar… wings, burgers, beer-​battered cod, and fried onion straws. We ordered a plethora of junk; a patty melt, a Cajun burger, a fried chicken salad, half a dozen hot chicken wings, and an order of the Potato Flats. The «flats» were made in the style of classic potato skins… homemade crinkle cut potato slices (so thin you could almost call them chips, but still soft like fries) covered in melted cheeses, bacon, and scallions. Dipped in sour cream, these babies were deadly. The patty melt was covered in Swiss and sauted onions and came with a side of thousand island for spreading… a great sandwich served on marbled rye bread. The Cajun burger was thick and juicy, though all burgers are served well-​done at the tavern. A 23oz Bud Light draft will only run you $ 3.75; a bottle of the same costs $ 2.75, so stick with the draft if you’re after value.
Service was good, if a bit funny. There wasn’t a «server» on staff when we visited… the door on the sign says seeking wait staff, so maybe that explains it. The bartender on duty took our orders and brought our food; he was friendly and more than capable in bringing our entrees quickly and exactly as ordered.
We had a fun time at the Lucky Dog, and we can’t wait to visit again with our puppy in tow (on Thursdays when the weather is nice you can bring your dog and sit on the patio… water bowls and doggie ice cream included).
