We eat here exclusively every time we come through Redding- at least 4-6 times a year. We are huge fans! The menu has something for everyone- the ahi sandwich is delicious, the salads are always amazing, and even though I've seen complaints about the pretzel bites with beer cheese, we loved them! The beer variety is unparalleled! I love to get a flight and sample several varieties each time I come. My faves- the True Blood (can be purchased in cans, and we always leave with some :), grapefruit, PB porter....the blackberry blonde was awesome too- I actually can't think of any I tried that I didn't enjoy. We've always enjoyed good service, and will continue to frequent this excellent spot! read more

I was heavily disappointed with my experience here. This was my first time eating out since covid happened, but if I could go back, I wouldn't have gone here. We came here for the brewery and were hoping it would be safe to dine outdoors. Instead, we were met with patrons not wearing their masks and the restaurant management NOT enforcing it. This made me feel so uneasy. We ordered a selection of beers and some random appetizers, which were horrible in quality and definitely was not worth the price we paid. I could've made better appetizers with my air fryer. On top of the less than mediocre food, service was HORRIBLE. It took absolutely forever to get our menus, order, etc... our server was NOWHERE to be found. When he was found, he wasn't even wearing his mask correctly.... When we received our food, we were not given any plates to eat with....so I had to wait to find a server to ask for plates, which took absolutely forever. Then on top of that, when we finally got our plates, it was DIRTY...so I asked for a new one.....by the time I got my CLEAN plates, my food was already lukewarm!!! I was just so annoyed at this point I could've walked out. I probs should've lol welps. safe to say I'm not coming back read more

Great food with great service! Cool vibe as well! Awesome merch available with cool logos! Plenty of TVs as well watched the NBA finals game 1! read more

Beers were bomb! Tried a few different ones and enjoyed everything I tried from the hazy ipa to the light wheat beer Great local spot for casual ambience, it's your typical brewery food: sandwiches and fried goodies. The spinner fries were surprisingly delicious and the salad was super crisp and fresh! My French dip was too smoky for my taste, but was otherwise fine. Chicken parm sandwich was fire Good place for beer and appetizers/fries/frickles ! read more

The menu offers flavorful food from which everyone should be able to find something. The burgers are especially tasty & the peanut butter jelly is delicious! ask for extra condiments on this one as my order seemed "light". The beverage menu for adults is extensive. I brought my friend in for her birthday & while she doesn't drink beer, our very thoughtful server brought her a flight with a hard pear cider my friend fell head over heels for & actually wanted to go back just for that! While I don't typically enjoy adult beverages, I did find pleasure in a blackberry blonde which wasn't overly sweet & was very fresh & light. Quite a treat. For the more adept beer connoisseur, options are endless & it would take a long time for one to sample everything offered. The service every time I've been, has been very good & the ambiance is typical of most breweries; High ceilings, somewhat dim lighting, a bar people can belly up to as well as high top tables & typical tables made for two, a few, or larger gatherings. The big windows allow for additional light, which is enjoyed mid day & outside seating is available, which is a wonderful option late spring to mid summer. The inside is conditioned nicely during the heat of summer & comfortable during cooler months. Parking is typically available across the street & a few curbside spots are sometimes available in front of the restaurant as well as bicycle parking. I've dined during the day & evening & in both scenarios, I felt safe to walk across the street to my vehicle during darker times. I'd definitely go back. read more

Went on a hike with our dogs on a rainy day, wanted some lunch and a beer afterwards. So glad we found this place! Our two dogs were not only welcome on the patio, it is covered (big deal because it was pouring) and the waitress brought out a huge bowl of water and some milk bones for our pups. Food and beer were amazing, tasted awesome and had amazing presentation, we had the ahi tuna salad, the kabobs and a side of fries. We definitely plan on making this a stopping point when we drive through Redding again. read more

My friends and I loved our experience at Final Draft!! We all got burgers or sandwiches which were HUGE and really tasty - they have a fun variety of burgers on their menu! The caramelized bacon was delicious. We all enjoyed our beers, too! Tons to choose from. I always leave this spot more full than I'd like so maybe consider sharing a plate with a friend. read more

Final Draft Brewing Company - A rainbow of beers! Peach sour (far left), purple one is a seltzer, and I'm unsure of the rest haha. - Breweries Near Me - Redding, California

Great food and great service. The smoked brisket french dip was on point. Highly recommend.

The food was DELICIOUS! We were a party of 5 and got told it would take about 30 or so minutes to get seated! The outdoor waiting area was so much fun!! Lots of games and drinks for us to relax! Once seated, we ordered our appetizers and drinks and let me tell you, those fried pickles are *chef's kiss* Our meal was bombbbbbbb! The drinks were questionable this time. My bf usually liked red ales but this time around it was so bad he sent it back. Sours were alright tbh. Our night was going so well until our waitress began rushing us "she was going off schedule." The last minutes involved us stressed in meeting her timeframe and we didn't appreciate that. read more

Revised review. While the review below happened, our daughter and family wanted to go to Final Draft for her birthday. Against my judgment we went. It was much better. Hot, fresh food, attentive service. I guess it can be hit and miss here. Not what it used to be. We were a party of 6 on a Monday night, not very busy. Poor service and most of the food was barely warm if not almost cold. Still did the right thing and left a decent tip on our $184 bill. We will head over to Woody's next time. read more

Really enjoyed our visit to Final Draft while passing through Redding for one night. We enjoyed a tasty angus burger with fries and shared a 'Julie Brown' brownie. All delicious! Lots of beer choices. Great 80s playlist. Friendly waitress. Indoor and outdoor dining. The only slight snafu was after giving them our phone number so they could text us when a table was ready, they seemed to forget about us. After waiting a while we went inside to check if anything was available yet and they sat us immediately at one of several open tables. I got the sense they forgot about us. :) read more

We were traveling through with Redding our half way stop -headed to Oregon. Wanted to see football and have a little more than a quick break and fast food for lunch. We found Final Draft on Yelp and the reviews were pretty good. Yelp did not steer us wrong. Hannah our waitress was friendly and helpful. The service was good, the food was good and the beer was great. It was the welcome break we needed. If we are ever in Redding, Final Draft will be a must stop. read more

This was an unexpected treat in a dining desert. Great beers, every style and a wonderful variety of food. I had smothered fries, the brisket was tasty and tender. Hub had the filet salad. We were surprised how much meat was on this beautiful salad. read more

I was happy to find Final Draft open for takeout during the Covid outbreak. I appreciate the servers and staff trying to keep things going and take care of their customers during quarantine. We are on a road trip home to Seattle from California so having a good dinner option was appreciated. I also appreciated the 32oz Crowler of IPA they canned for me "to go". Food was great. Burgers were huge as were the onion rings. Good road food for this trip. 50% tip seemed about right. Thanks guys. read more

We came in super happy and looking forward to a good time. Waitress was extremely rude and outwardly racist and demeaning towards a friend in our group. We were completely shocked at how awful she was. She even doubled down in her condescending tone towards him after it was made clear that was not okay. First we requested a new waitress from the food runner, she said "I know who you are talking about", insinuating this has happened before. After waiting a while, we raised a complaint to the hostess and she acted like we were in the wrong for being concerned. It was clear this environment is permissive to this behavior in their staff, so we decided to get up and leave before eating our food. Super disappointed because we use to love coming here for drinks. Definitely won't be back. read more

Visited Final Draft Brewing July 11...and I can say that their Air Conditioning definitely works great. Reasonable draft beer prices--most are $7. Broad selection of beers and I was offered a small tasting of a couple of IPA's before deciding on which one. Attentive service with a smile from Brilee. Reasonably priced food with generous portions. Nice, friendly vibe. Plenty of TV's for viewing sports. Very long bar if you are alone and open to meeting new people. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! We stopped in for dinner after a day of hiking in the Shasta & Redding areas, SO READY for food & beer. Each of us tried something different to drink, but all together we had a cider, a blonde ale, and a porter. We each really liked our drinks. We shared pretzel bites to start, which came out quickly and were the perfect thing to hold us over for food. Two of my friends ordered the PB&J burger, and I got the classic fried chicken sandwich with avocado and pepper jack cheese. We loved everything! The icing on the cake was the damn fries- OMG. Quite possibly my favorite fries everrrr. The service was great, super cool and laid back atmosphere (and dog friendly!) and just an overall perfect spot for a casual Saturday dinner. I will absolutely visit Final Draft another time while in the area. Killed it! read more

The menu change is lacking. It used to be such a great menu with lots of choices now it's just...boring. Not to mention, the food was always fantastic, however, the last two trips have not been great. Now is not a good time to start scaling back... There are SO many great breweries in Redding now... lots of others to choose from... Super bummer, it used to be awesome! read more

4 stars 4 stars chicken wings. Juicy wings. Honey BBQ was good. Buffalo wasn't spicy and little sauce. 4 stars fries. Big serving. Nice and crispy 5 stars chicken noodle soup. Everything in the soup was good. Broth was flavorful. Really good Will try more items next time. Good place to eat. read more

Came here from out of town for a memorial and decided to stop here. Food was super delicious! Very spacious inside. Bathrooms clean. Parking is atrocious in the area because they knocked down the parking garage across the street,But I guess they are working on that and not any restaurants or business' fault! My friend said they have live music on the weekends at night if you're into that. read more

We came in on a Monday night and got immediate service. We ordered the Buffalo wings first, which were perfect. The texture and quality was high. The spicy level was just right. It's been a while since I've had wings this good. We then had salads. They were, well, salad (okay). The entrées were the real treat though. We shared each and had the chicken marsala and the steak kabobs. The chicken and steak kabobs were amazing. The kabobs were a little crispy on the ends but the inside was just right. The veggies on each were decent, but the mashed potatoes and cheesy risotto were heavenly. I could eat this meal often, however I don't live around here so I'll have to wait until I'm in the area again. I'm glad we tried this place out. Other than food quality, service was okay and the bathrooms were an acceptable cleanliness. The main area of opportunity would have been service. We felt like we had to flag down the waitress at the end and like she was ignoring us. She was nice overall but didn't seem to pickup nonverbal queues as expected. Otherwise, almost perfect restaurant experience. read more

This was my go-to in Redding for a LONG time. Their Dirty Fries and Impeach Sour were my bi-weekly happy hour treat while I wrote out practice guidelines and drug protocols in midwifery school. I went so often the waiters and waitresses all knew me and set my sour down in front of me as soon as I sat down. They're all great, very responsive, and professional people. Other items on the menu that are noteworthy: their Wings- especially with their unique spicy peanut sauce(!!!!), their Blue Cheese Burger, their Peanut butter Jelly Time Burger, and their beer cheese! Pro tip: get their pretzels and beer cheese as an appetizer (you will NOT be disappointed) and then hold on to allll that leftover cheese and dip your less-loaded Dirty Fries into that cup of holy choodness. You can thank me or buy me a sour for that. You'll be livin' your best cheesy, loaded-fri, fatty life. Enjoy!! read more

Great ambiance and surprisingly delicious food for a brewery. Sorry to sound judgmental but I was pleasantly shocked how good the menu selection was and the food was for a balanced audience. The kids menu of Mac and cheese and grilled cheese was not only massive It was appealing to me, a picky adult who appreciates good food and flavors. I had the peach and Buratta salad...yes....burratta. Not as common light and creamy cheese. Highly recommend to cut the intensity of arugula (a slightly spicy) and overly sweet fruit flavors. It's a great compliment to plain salads transforming them to fancy! read more

A great place to grab dinner with a big group of people. I've come to the Final Draft a couple times and enjoyed my dinner for the beer, ciders, and huge portion sizes. However, both times (one time was busy, and the other was much more empty) we had slow service come to our attention. Waitresses were very kind, but they did take a while coming by to check on our table. read more

I suspect that the person who described the watermelon hefe as watermelon juice has been tricked. Perhaps someone gave them a glass of Styrofoam packing nuts instead? I was excited about it after reading through the reviews, thinking it might be like the grapefruit hefes they sell at the grocery shop. But I was disappointed. It was mostly a wheaty taste with maybe the La Croix ghost of a watermelon rind. We tried 7 beers in total. My favorite was the imperial blueberry cider, but the rest weren't great. This brewery leans into the bitterness of hops in every drink it seems. The nitro stout described as a dessert drink was certainly heavy but it was 0% sweet (cacao powder itself is not sweet but has a nice dark chocolatey flavor) and tasted mostly like a bad strong coffee. The blood orange and some of the other fruity beers had that weird, empty synthetic taste I often find in west coast ciders. They were understaffed so I can't blame the staff for extremely long wait time to order at the bar EXCEPT for the one lady who I tried to wave down in front of me who met my eye contact, then immediately decided to see through me. Weird vibes lol Even just a "someone will be with you shortly" acknowledgment or "taking orders isn't my job" would have been adequate. On the other hand, Monkless in Bend, OR has fabulous service, beers, and atmosphere. That's what I wish Final Draft could have been. read more

The host wasn't super welcoming, but what turned this into a 5 star experience for me was our server. She was so friendly, helpful, efficient, and really made us feel welcome. We didn't have their food, but ordered two flights instead on this late Sunday afternoon after a day of hiking. We enjoyed most of the beers, and I particularly loved their fruity offerings. The Watermelon Hefe was my fave! It was like a refreshing watermelon juice. They have an incredible amount of seating inside and out. We felt like we had our own little private area in the back of their patio. They have an extensive beer and food menu, in which the food certainly was tempting. There's street parking available around. Since it was a Sunday, we found a free spot just around the corner. read more

At first when I used to order from them it was good great even but the last 3 or 4 times I've door dashed from them they either give me the wrong food or forget something pivotal to the meal for example tonight after not ordering from them in months because the last time they gave the wrong food I finally decided i wanted another meal from them and gave it one more shot ordered a French dip and they send it with no ahju sauce what's the point of a French dip without the dip like this time and the others the restaurant is completely useless and unapologetic they don't care they don't want to help nor do they feel bad for messing with peoples money at an expensive place they tell me to go through door dash and DoorDash doesn't always want to help especially since because of the last 3 times they messed up doordash doesn't want to help me anymore they only give you so many credits so now I'm stuck with a super dry sandwich and down $25 dollars all for no dinner will never be ordered form them again read more

Arrived at 8:20 or so and was met with no drinks on the patio after 8pm so if i were to eat there, i would have to eat and drink indoors. Not covid friendly. Then we were seated and no one came to check up on us so we just got up and left to another brewery. Not a fan of the staff. read more

Redding, CA doesn't exactly have a lot of nice sit down places to choose from. Glad we found this one --- it was kid friendly but also looked great for datenite and girls/ boys night out. A group of women were there on what looked like a bridal shower. We were seated right away. Street parking but was free after a certain time. What we ordered: started with Dirty Fries and Fried Artichokes We split 3 sandwiches: Brisket French Dip, the Ultimate Chicken Sandwich and the Sweet and Saucy burger. The sides were twisted seasoned fries and colossal beer battered onion rings. Favorite: The Dirty Fries, Brisket French Dip, onion rings, chicken in the chicken sandwich. Oh and the dip that came with the artichokes... I wanted to dip EVERYTHING IN IT. Service was good, everyone who worked there was just so good looking! :) we were seated promptly for a Saturday night. The food took a little longer but not too bad. Just one little downer: They only serve beer tho!!! Wish it was a full bar. I don't drink beer. read more

The beer is good but for me I was impressed with the wine selection. Not bad for a brew pub. Most of all, the BEST Beyond Burgers ever. so many restaurants put their heart and soul into real meat, but this place made the best beyond burger that I've ever had in a restaurant. The side salad was also huge. Highly recommended! read more

Last weekend we hiked the Canyon Creeks Trail in the Trinity Alps and outside of enjoying the fresh air, I was fixated on what we were going to eat on the way home. When we got back to service I YELP'd places to get a good burger and I came across Final Draft Brewing Company. As i read the list if the menu items, I started dalviating profusely and the other backpackers in the caravan were hyped to get a BOMB burger, fries, and beer. This spot most certainly delivered! The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, and the food hit the spot! I had the Sweet & Saucy Burger and my fiance had the Ultimate Chicken Sandwich (fried and buffalo sauce). Both were good, but I wished I had ordered the chicken sandwich instead! read more

Food 3.5, beer somewhere between 3 and 4. Overall 3.5. Had the cobb salad. Plentiful for the price. Ample everything. Chicken pretty dry. Beer menu spanned a wide variety of common styles, IPAs in single and double variety, fruited session ales, porters and a russian imperial. The saison and imperial russian were okay, didn't pack enough flavor and depth to stand out. The attutude adjustment was excellent - smokey, savory, coffee flavor. read more

I'm not a regular of breweries, but this was a pleasant first experience for me. It probably helped that I came in a group, which made the experience more enjoyable, as this place is made for social gatherings. The atmosphere is very trendy in a hipster kind of way. While I didn't have a drink, they have veeery good apps, particularly their pickle fries and fried artichoke hearts. Highly recommend those if you like trying new things. For my main, I was in the mood for something healthy, so I opted for an Unbeetable Peach salad. This one had an amazing combination of flavors that oddly worked together. If you're in the mood for lighter fare, get this one. I also tried a little bit of burger from my companions, and in particular the Peanut Butter Jelly Time burger was a great concoction that somehow had all the ingredients (onion jam, peanut sauce) work together well. I also enjoyed their cooked-to-perfection sidewinders. The prices are a bit up-there for burger fare, so this is probably best for those special occasions or weekends with your friends. I know I'd like to come back here sometime. read more
