First time in this bar and we had an amazing time. Came to play some pool and met some really awesome people. I've been wanting to stop in for quite some time just haven't made the time since I don't live as close to the area anymore. The customer service was phenomenal and Candy the bartender was an absolute sweetheart and extremely welcoming. Will definitely be returning. read more

On April 1st my husband and I came to have a few drinks at Driftwood. Upon our arrival it was a little busy and there was only one server. We understood that she was under a lot of pressure but after 20 min of waiting I decided to get myself a drink. The young lady had a Burrito in her hand while the sauce was dripping down her hand she was serving alcohol. She wouldn't even put her food down but continued on serving alcohol to everyone. It' was very disgusting how she was chewing her food and serving my drinks. VERY UNSANITARY! read more

Bloody mary was tooo spicy, not in a good way. Too much grainy spice that got caught in the back of my throat making me cough. Would pass on that next time. Sour cream dip was good, but I expected chunks of onion and it was a well-blended dip with a very mild favor-good but wouldn't order again. Smash burger had great flavor with a load of delicious diced bacon and onion jam. Menu had diverse options and I will come back again.

I had called because their online reservation system was messed up and kept failing when trying through my phone. Luckily I was at home and could complete it on my computer, but it was an annoying process and I would've been screwed if I wasn't home at the time. Toward the back of Bella Terra close to the movie theater and Cheesecake Factory. Loud and lively atmosphere. Friendly service! You can walk-in, but reservations recommended. There's bar seating and high top tables if you're not in a rented stall. You can rent stalls for varying times. Each rental comes with a bag that includes a baseball, dodgeball (soft foam), football, and soccer ball. I believe you also get one golf club and a golf ball if you want, but if you're there to play golf, bring your own clubs or rent a full set. There are tons of other games to play such as baseball pitching, football precision passing and field goals, soccer penalty kicks, carnival games, darts, and even bocce ball. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that our kids may have tripped the sensors, but I felt everything was wildly inaccurate. I'd physically hit the targets (ball straight to marker on the screen) and then the game would say I missed by a mile! Frustrating for me, but since my kids are too young to care, they had a blast! Food-wise, we were influenced to go because we got a coupon in the mail for a free cheese pizza with an hour or more rental. We also got ranch chicken bacon sliders (comes with 3), some tots, and 2 beers. All tasted great, but not the biggest servings. The 1-hr rental, food, and drink ran us right around $110 including tax and tip as of Apr 2026, but would've been closer to $125 without the coupon.
