The Draft House

“They were out of patatas, which was disappointing and the pizza oven isn't installed yet, so food options aren't the broadest at this point, but we liked what we had.”

“So far I've had the: margarita pizza, sausage & fries, fritttura mista (fried shrimp, fried calamari & fried zucchine), grilled salmon (with salad not fries) & lamb burger!”

“What I read in another review is that the happy hour is only for wines and sangrias.”

  1. I like to go to this spot when I chill w my main posse (they live near this fine eatery) and get lit and turnt, but in an adult setting with good treats. The people who work here are super chill. Outdoor seating too! Woo party time!

  2. Great bartenders. Good food and fast service. Unfortunately when we visited 7/11/15 they did not have their pizza oven working yet.  Waiting on ConEd to hook up the gas. Excellent beer and cider selection. Will definitely return!

  3. 5 stars for the beer selection. 3 stars for the food.

    The beer selection is incredibly good for any bar and it changes regularly so go here often! They also have plenty of other drinks readily available including a sangria.

    Yes the pizza oven is open now. The pizza crust needs a bit of improvement but overall the food here is quite good – burgers, fish, pizza toppings, fries – all very good and make a for a good lunch or dinner.

    Great addition to the area. I'll be back!

  4. This is a newly opened place so it's still a work in progress, but I like most of what I see.

    Came here with friends to scope it out as a potential venue for beer club but it's kind of small so I don't think that would work out.  However, if you're in the area and want a quick bite and some great beer, this is a good place.

    First, I love the decor.  Lots of wood and metal and cool lights.  Very nice, comfortable vibe.  With the windows in front open, it really gives the place a warm, welcoming feel.  The beer list is very good.  They have something for everyone.

    Food is currently limited.  We had the suppli and salted codfish.  They were out of patatas, which was disappointing and the pizza oven isn't installed yet, so food options aren't the broadest at this point, but we liked what we had.  

    There's a sign with an arrow that says "beer garden" but that's just for display.  There's no garden.  I think having that is a bad idea because inevitably everyone asks "where's the garden?" and to respond "there isn't one" is kind of a lame answer.  Take it down.

    Our server was very nice.

    I'd definitely go back here again.  It's a pretty quick trip from midtown, although it's an uphill hike from the A/B/D trains.  However, it's very close to the 1 train (although that's a slower trip)

    Thumbs up!

  5. Came here twice, both on a Saturday evening.

    Ambience: Decor is rustic and simple. Crowd was diverse in race and mostly below 40. They play 80s and 90s music after midnight.

    Service: Waiters and bartenders were attentive and polite. If you're not sure what beer to get, they will gladly let you have a taste. They only have one bathroom so the line can get pretty long.

    Food and drinks: They have over 10 beers on tap in three different size. We had the risotto and mozzarella balls and it was delish. We also had the bison burger with fries and it was quite juicy.

    Overall, good addition to the neighborhood.

  6. Not a huge fan.

    PROS:

    They give you samples of the beer and the wine. So you can try as many as possible before placing your actual drink order, if you don't mind being annoying. I do, therefore i only tried 2 and settled for the latter one because I was annoyed, I can imagine my waitress.

    They have pretty good food. I ordered the burger and it was pretty perfect, fries not so much.

    1 pitcher of beer, 2 normal beers, one wine, 2 drinks, a shot, wings, and a burger – $90 bucks. Not too bad.

    CONS:

    The waitress was pretty nice but it wasn't the best service that I've had. She was all over the place and some of the things I said were followed as regarding my order [it could have been the kitchen not her]

    If you order a drink and do not like it [even if they recommend it] they do not do a courtesy switch. That is beyond me. I ordered a drink she recommended but i hated the proseco aftertaste it was nasty. Apparently they have a rule: "you have to drink every drink we bring to the table." I didn't like this. Thankfully the person I was with drank it for me.

    No pizza oven yet,

    OTHER:

    its an okay place to just chill and drink beer if you are not looking for anything else. IT had a nice ambiance and the bathroom was impeccable

  7. While I wasn't the biggest fan of the food, the atmosphere and the drink selection was great.

    I was craving a beer and wanted to watch a basketball game so I went to the Draft House because it's near my apartment and I'd passed by a few times and never actually went in. It wasn't crowded but there was a good number of people there and the vibe was very chill.

    I got a couple beers and was very happy with my selections. I was hungry so I decided to get a margherita pizza. That wasn't the best decision, while it was large for the price ($12) it wasn't cooked very well and there were like 2 pieces of basil on top…

    All in all it's a pretty decent place, I'll definitely be back for a glass of wine or a beer but I probably won't get food.
