For all you craft beer lovers, this is the place to visit! It's also a great spot for people watching and the kind of place where everyone knows your name. They have so many different options to choose from, and the customer service is always great. You can even order food from nearby places, and don't miss their amazing smash burgers on Thursdays! If you're someone who prefers a nice glass of wine instead, this place has you covered too. A great spot to relax, enjoy a drink, and have a good time. read more

Would love to come back and try other beers. Space is very airy and chill. Perfect day for a cold beer. read more

We loved this brewery! We got a beer flight of 4, and we were allowed to pick from any of the 10+ beers, 3 wines, and 1 DELICIOUS cider! We absolutely loved the cider they had here and the two hazy beers. Our flight was only 12 dollars, and there were games to play on the inside like Cards against humanity and other games! The bartender was so sweet and thoughtful. This brewery was our favorite in solvang! Very cute indoor and outdoor area too! read more

Killer Ale Taproom for the Goleta-based brewery that's located smack-dab in the middle of the DT Solvang's main drag. The Good: *Fantastic service by the barkeep *Great people watching as tons of people will come ambling by during your visit. *Dog-leg outdoor seating with umbrellas *Cornhole boards *Kid-friendly *Great selection of beers on-tap and some even more amazing ones in the bottle, like their Wee Heavy Scotch Ale, which was fantastic. The Meh: *There is a small private lot for this cluster of businesses, but good luck finding a spot. The Ugly: *No food served, but you're free to bring in your own food to eat along with your suds. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of options in Solvang when it comes to take-out food, other than--blech--Subway®. Conclusion: Great spot to knock back a cuppa cold ones, but it would be a lot better if there was a food truck nearby. read more

The beer here is amazing. Nice ambiance, friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. They also offer wine, cider and Caprisun

Hallie helped us and was great. This place had great beer and we played corn hole outside. You can even grab some fresh eggs on your way out as Hallie has some from her local farm. Truly was a great little spot we found after brunch. Come check out this spot you won't regret it and it had shade, a clean restroom, cold water and a nice breeze. read more

Solvang has needed a brewery for locals and visitors to hang and enjoy craft beers at! Draughtsmen is the perfect addition. It's an excellent location right on the Main Street and is easily accessible. They have tables inside and outside. I opted to sit outside under the umbrellas and it was so nice. They've decorated the space really well and the service is excellent. I look forward to many more gatherings at this spot! They do offer a limited food menu from Coast Range next door if you're looking for something to eat. read more

Your welcoming vibe is what sets you apart in this area. The friendliness and helpfulness of your staff is everything we could ask for in a brewery. Very relaxing, very chill vibe, and dog-friendly too - our favorite thing. The beers are quite good and we enjoyed every one we had in the brewery. The take-away bottle wasn't as good, but hey... can't win 'em all. We'll be back for sure!! read more

Perfect place to go get some nice brew and chill. They have cool selection of beers and tasty cider. While you hangout, you can play cornhole in the front. They also have nice seating areas.

A great experience with friendly service and good beer. Stephen was a fanatic guide to the Taps at Draughtsmen. The beer selection is wide, with a lot of styles to choose from. The couple of ciders they had on tap were good. They also have wine in tap, if you want to give that a try too. read more

Laid back spot to have some beer. Their beer selection was refreshing and the food was good. Our bartender was so friendly and made us feel like he was just a friend of ours lol. We sat outside on the patio. Although small, there was room to sit and to people watch. Theres couches as well so comfy seating. read more

Had a good selection of beers! The bartender was super friendly and accommodating! He even asked if we had a music preference. The ambiance was great. A very modern and cozy bar experience! I recommend going here for beers. read more

This place has really good beer! They are super friendly and welcoming. Our bartenders Austin and Don were both so amazing and helpful (we went two nights that's how much we liked it). The beer was filling and refreshing. I am not super knowledgeable about beer (not a huge fan) but that's all anyone would say who I asked. When Don found out I didn't drink beer he gave me a carpis sun! That was a highlight of my night :). The location is right centered in solvang and placed perfectly to give you a break during your wine tasting tours. Stop by and experience the local scenery with a light comfortable design on a brewery. I saw they have flights too which is awesome. They also make their own cider and some yummy wines for those who are more experienced in beer! The place is light and fun! They have boardgames for customers to play as well! 10/10 amazing experience. read more

Quick stop passing through Solvang. Perfectly located in downtown, beer is great hospitality!

We saw this place while driving on Mission Dr en route to our hotel and loved the open patio layout so we bookmarked it to visit later in the day. Very relaxing, chill vibe -- we a flight tasting (church beer (light lager), nama biru (Japanese rice lager), Czech Please (pilsner) and Meat and Potatoes (porter) and the Hibiscus Hop Tea (non-alcoholic). The Meat and Potatoes like any porter was malty and tasted like coffee, the pilsner and rice lager were okay, but the Church Beer was the favorite -- very easy to drink and tasted great. The Hop Tea was interesting (in a good way) and was refreshing in the hot afternoon weather. Service was friendly. read more

Great location, with parking and of course great beer! Stopped in on a Monday early afternoon had a few beers, very attentive and helpful staff. We will definitely be back. read more

Good spot, couple locals were rude but all in all a decent spot. All is needed is some food.

My girlfriend and I came to Solvang for a quick vacation getaway. Our first night we walked through downtown and stumbled upon Draughtsmen! The owner and bartender (Don) were both very welcoming and lighthearted. Don helped us quickly find some beers we would like. We inquired if either of them knew where to watch the football games that night (Monday night football) and the owner immediately signed up for ESPN+ and put the games on. We left after one round to explore other bars/breweries but ended up coming right back to Don at Draughtsmen (other places were a bit rude). Don's personality and helpfulness won our business and we ended up staying close to closing time. Would definitely recommend and come back! read more

Great beer, awesome service!! Will be coming back again in the near future. Try the Buxum Blonde or Nama Biru, very nice brews

Awesome beer and even better staff! Nothing better than hanging out and having a beer there and its perfectly stationed in Solvang.

Went here for the first time a few months back. Loved the beer and the outdoor seating on the main road. The service was excellent as well. The girl was very nice and helpful. Great conversation. I have been back a few times since. They have a great beer selection as well as wines and they even offer food from next door. I tried a new place (to me) in town and tbh there was no comparison. I've decided why go somewhere new when you already have a great place. Highly recommend for locals and tourists alike! read more
