Been wanting to check out Draft Room Senoia since I joined this group. They're very good about…read moresharing specials on social and provide the local community a variety of game nights to attend.
Spoiler alert, I like it. If I had friends I'd totally come here to hang out.
The food...it's a sports bar so I'd go for the usual staples, burgers and wings.
Starting off with their specials, a Birria Smashburger, it's a creative spin on Birria and I'd say it's well executed. Often times, Birria could be overpowering and greasy, leaving an unpleasant aftertaste. The braised beef on this burger however, found a happy medium that achieved juicy tenderness without the grease. When I say the burger is chunky, the meats speak for themselves. There's a healthy portion of Birria braised beef layered on top of two smash burger patties. The patties were juicy, medium, paired with the flavors from the Birria is a real delight. Although I'd prefer just a bit more salt on the braised beef. Burger lovers, this is a must try.
Another special on their menu, Birria Regatoni Handmade Pasta, looks too good to eat, honestly. It surprised me that a local bar would make fresh pasta. 10 for effort, 7 for taste. There's something unique about handmade pasta, a texture and density that creates an unforgettable bite, and that wasn't there. However, the dish as a whole, the flavors were all there. Again, none of the Birria grease, but all of the layers of flavor. Well done.
I've read reviews from Google to Yelp about how small the wings are and I had to giggle. So of course, sort of kicking myself that I missed out on their free party wings, I ordered half a dozen wings to taste.
I got the Jamaican Jerk flavor, the sauce was a bit on the sweet side, not the heat I was looking for in the usual Jamaican Jerk style. The wings were crunchy on the outside, incredibly juicy, I'd totally order again, but probably try another flavor next time.
I don't think the wings were teensy as some reviewers had mentioned lol. I did use the silverware for comparison. I think these are healthy sized wings. Some of them other bigger wings make me question if chickens hit the gym too.
Had to take a picture of the cutlery because that knife is just adorable lol.
Overall the atmosphere is exactly what a bar should be. Plenty of TVs, nice background music, a welcoming environment both indoors and outdoors for friends hang out.
Our server was Abby, super friendly, grateful for her top notch service. She mentioned on Wednesdays there are wine specials, "Get drunk for half the price." So wine drinkers, mark your calendars, y'all know where you should be on Wednesdays.
She did say to the table "How we doing ladies?"
And I was like oooo lala I'm a lady today.
The food, the ambience, seeing tables fill up getting ready for trivia, the friendly faces, all of it easily comforts my slightly bruised ego.
Sorry for the long post lol, I like food and I like to write. Hoping to write my way into finding some friends in the local area.
