Walking in you'll either be greeted and asked how many to be seated and taken to a table OR immediately and blatantly be told they aren't seating any more people for the remainder of the evening despite it being well over an hour or two before closing time. Most of the staff are otherwise friendly, but attentive service seems to be hit or miss; they can easily and obviously become overwhelmed or agitated, even despite not having a big crowd. We've seen the cooks and other staff out front of the establishment smoking, which isn't a great look in and of itself, especially having witnessed the staff telling incomers that they can't be seated or that food orders will take a significant amount of time to be prepared. Otherwise the food is very good and decently priced, the eating areas and bathrooms are clean.

I completely agree with Yelper Al D.'s 'meh' description of their food. I literally |do|not|understand| how my build-your-own (extra cheese, jalapeños, sausage) had NO flavor. I doused it in red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese they brought to the table and still nothing. My wings were fried and tossed in buffalo sauce and served with blue cheese. From the picture I added to Yelp, you'd think they were pretty solid...but my taste buds were equally dismissive. And I also agree with Yelper Angela S. I tried hopping tables to find one that wasn't wobbly before I gave up and stuffed some napkins under one of the legs. As I lifted my head I noticed how many nearby tables had attempted the same thing. IMHO, if you're looking for a venue to watch a game, have a cold, yeasty beverage with friends, and snacks, Draft Sports Bar & Grill will suffice. If you're looking for anything else, best keep driving.

We had a good time here and would love to try it again…read more Reason for 3 stars is that tables were wobbly (we moved 3 times). Biggest disappointment was that the fries were lukewarm and soggy. They were clearly not fried long enough or temp up correctly. They were also out of the sliced beef tenderloin sandwich, something we came to try. Lots of TVs and seating, large bar area with gaming stations and cool bathroom sinks. They have horseshoes and lots of other good items on the menu that I'd like to come back to and give them another chance to increase their stars.

My usual issue was that there were no mixed drinks. Actually no hard alcohol was able to be served there. The atmosphere and the Decour were very unique and interesting. As of 2016, it has changed ownership, and we have not been back to give an updated review. Since I added the photo in 2015, I felt that I should add a review now that the place had been recognized by yelp.

Make sure you ask for Austin 3:16 as your waiter!

For sure it's even cheap for around here. There's a few locals always at the bar it seems. After many of the other places around here have closed, it was a later night option for us to get drinks and a bite. It was pretty quiet inside. This place isn't a wild hangout most times. It has a pretty simple menu. There's the most basic stuff. It's about $5 for the cheapest Irish whiskey, not bad. The food can be even cheaper if you can believe it. Fries are $3, and these are about the healthiest food here you can get. The rest of the food mostly is meats. Good place to get something cheap. It may not always be good food, in fact it usually isn't, but most people just come for the drinks so they don't really care too much about any of the food. They also have games including arcades and slots for those looking for entertainment and things.
