Okay, I hate to give it 3 stars. I really do hate it, but I just haven't enjoyed the food here the past three times I've been. The steamed oysters special, first off, was disappointing. They were all cracked open when we got our bucket, so they were all dry and chewy. Just awful. Steamed oysters are not supposed to let air in like that while they're steaming. The buffalo chicken flatbread was the best tasting thing I've had on this menu. It was full of flavor! The tacos I had one night were also disappointing. They were average at best and made me realize I could've saved money by making my own. One time I had the infamous dill dip that I've grown to love so much over the years, but I refuse to get it again because it was not good. It did not taste the same as it used to. Too much dill & the white dip itself was not right either. It just tasted cheap. I still loved the atmosphere here very much! It will always have that going for it and the service is still good too. The new manager is a very nice man who has a great personality and eclectic style. I just really hope the kitchen can step up their game. read more

Krafty Draft Brew Pub - Brewpubs Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

We have been here a few times. The food and service is good. They don't have a heat lamp in the kitchen so when the food is done it is carried out right away. The Cuban is my favorite of the sandwiches. They used to have a charcuterie board that was great. But they do not have that now. Their sodas are sold by can and no refills on those. read more

Came here for lunch and wasn't disappointed. They have over 100 beers on tap! They also have wines and more. So if you are a beer lover this is the place to come. We came here very hungry. Ordered the pretzel bites and dirty queso for appetizers. Both were amazing. I would say I wish there was a bigger portion of pretzels but it's an appetizer so I'm ok with it. The bartender said to get the queso with the pretzels so I went with it. Def way better then getting the mustard haha. For our entrees we got the Cuban and the Hot ham and havarti! Both were amazing. They were great portions and had great flavor. One of the best Cubans I've have in a while! Had to take half home and was even delicious reheated! The customer service here was amazing. They always were on top of everything. When we got low on drinks they were right there to ask if we wanted more. The atmosphere was great too. Very good lighting, perfect amount of TVs and plenty of indoor and outdoor space available. I recommend this place 100%, will visit again. read more

We saw a sign that said "100 taps and 30 wines" and swerved right on over to see what was up with the Krafty Draft. Neither Kelsay or I had ever heard of this place, but boy were we in for a surprise. We walked in and were greeted at the bar. They handed us two kindles to browse their huge menu. We found a couple beers and placed our order. After we got our drinks we decided to go sit outside under the covered patio. They have these awesome high seated benches. They have a couple waiters who will check in on you and even take your next beer order so you don't have to walk back in to place your order! Long story less long, this place was the best unexpected surprise we could ask for. Huge beer menu, lots of local options and brews. Plenty IPAs if that's your fancy, and a great wine selection for those who aren't against beer. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Krafty Draft Brew Pub - Brewpubs Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

Good concept but food needs help. Good selection of beers and a local spot a lot of families come for dinner. The food needs help. The main grub here is bar food which is what you would expect. We had some cheese dip as an appetizer which was good but it was served with low end generic grocery store corn chips. We all had burgers, and they only serve them one way apparently, very well done. Very. Burgers are served with potato chips not fries. No biggie, but at that price point, fries should be a no brainer and make the meal a little more like a meal. Another thing we found extremely odd was they don't use menus. Which is fine but the QR code they make you sign in to get a menu makes you download their app and sign up first. Very cumbersome process when you just want to sit down order some beer and food and have dinner. If you're regular I guess it makes sense but for the casual diner the QR code should just give you a menu and let you start getting ready to hand over your money for some good food I really think with some few minor changes this place could be a great local spot and really do a lot more business. read more

My first time there and I was quite overwhelmed by the set-up of the building. It's like a bunch of rooms leading into each other and due to the openness very loud. They have a gigantic wall full of taps and offer 100+ beers. Makes me wonder how fresh the beers can possibly be... I had Warsteiner Pils and it was fine. Food is typical pub food but nicely presented and tasty. We tried tacos, burger and salad. A lady in our party has dietary restrictions and they made a burger from scratch just for her! What service. All staff were super friendly and attentive. I might go back and sit in a different part to see if one can carry on a conversation there. read more

Service was great. Food was excellent. (We had the bbq flatbread and spicy salsa dip) A plethora of beer selections. Plus they have Prosecco! Great spot! read more

Two tips: BQQ pork nachos, and black cherry cider. Must haves. I love this place, I wish I could come every weekend for those nachos!!

Poor service bad food. Won't be back. They should clean their grill and bathroom as well

The beer selection at the Krafty Draft is phenomenal (anyone saying otherwise must have been looking for a Bud Light). They have a huge number of taps (there really are at least 100), as well as a decent selection of bottled beer and wine (the beer menu comes in a binder). The beers on tap are constantly changing and cover a breadth of beer styles, both craft and imports. I know a few things about beer, but I basically learn something every time I come to the Krafty, and that's a good thing. The beer flights are a great way to try new beers without drinking too much (or breaking the bank), and I really like how the flight cards double as a $1 off your next pint (that way you can finish your session off with whatever beer in the flight struck your fancy). The food is pretty good, especially whenever they have something that's smoking. On my last visit, my friend got a smoked pork loin sandwich that looked great (the meat I sampled supported this) and their burgers and wings are definitely worth drinking a few pints over. As for the setting, the word eclectic comes to mind. It looks like a large house of sorts (I've heard some people say it was a model home at one point), so the inside is kind of laid out in different areas like that. There are a couple of bars (the one I generally go to is the big one when you enter) as well as tables with chairs (I'm pretty sure there's even a recliner or two). It honestly feels a bit homier than your average bar, and certainly a whole lot less commercial (maybe corporate is a better word). The staff have always been great and Billy (the owner) knows his beer (had never really even heard of a Gose before going to the Krafty and having a conversation with him, a sad fact that was immediately rectified). It's just a laid-back, fun place to go, meet up with friends and have a few brews. There's nothing else quite like it in Lexington. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go to in Lexington. The tap list is unparalleled. Only downside is closed on Sunday. PS - Try the spicy feta dip. A must-have! read more

Great and friendly service. An array of beer and wine. Looking forward to trying some flights. Wish the outdoor space could have live music as it's is the most perfect set up but it's too close to residential dwellings. read more

To tell you the truth I wasn't expecting much from this place as I haven't really heard a lot of feedback at all about this place. When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised on how many different beers they had on draft. All the new beers that I find in Columbia were here on draught. We opted for several half pours as to dry many different styles and flavors. Both of the owners and staff were really nice and accommodating as they had both of their hands full with a private party in the next room. So I would say if you live in Lexington stop by Krafty Draft and grab yourself a pint or two. read more

Stopped by on 3/26/23 and was greeted kindly & shown the menus. Chose a flight & truffle parm fries. Beers were cold/tasty and fries were delicious . Even took a growler of World Court home ! And loved the artwork on the ceiling read more

Love this place. Excellent selection, service and food. Been a customer for years and will continue.

Awesome place. We have been her twice while on vacation to SC. The food is outstanding and there is over 130 different draft beers. We usually come on Thursday which is taco night. Our server is Andrew who was awesome. We sat outside during COVID and we were pretty much by ourselves. Yes it was hot but... read more

I was early for an event down the road at Mercer Estate Winery so I decided to stop in to kill some time over a beer at Krafty Draft. There's not a ton going on in this area so I was surprised to find a beer bar with such a wide selection. Then I found out that they not only have excellent beers from all over, they also brew their own suds on site! I was tempted by some of the rares but felt compelled to try an in-house brew. The barkeep served me the wrong beer by accident but made up for it but offering the correct one on the house when I finished. It was two variations of the same beer. Not my favorite but I don't favor smokey beers so that's just life. The staff was funny and friendly and I honestly wish I had time to stick around for a few more rounds. Cheers! read more

This place is amazing. What an unexpected treasure. Incredible selection, friendly wait staff. This should be your go-to place for a night out. I highly recommend the nachos. read more

Krafty Draft Brew Pub - Loaded chicken nachos. - Brewpubs Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

We frequent this place quite often. The food is quite tasty, the staff is very friendly, and I can't think of anywhere in the Lex/Cola area with 100 beer taps!! Absolutely a great place to go. read more

So the beer selection is amazing but I ordered their special of the night... A PO boy sandwich.... Burnt the hell out of my mouth when I took my first bite. Of course the bartender denied it was microwaved but there is no other way it would be that freaking hot. The bartender doesn't even apologize and I also had to ask for the sandwich to be taken off of my bill. Will not be coming back. read more

This place has an amazing selection of beers. What I love about this place is the staff and the regulars that come in here. It's family owned and operated and the food is great. read more

Friends of ours who live out in Gilbert recommended we try Krafty Draft Brew Pub. It is such a funky atmosphere (it's a model home turned pub) but I really like that about the place. There are tables and chairs set up throughout the building with board games available. The menu has an excellent selection of draft and bottled beers. I loved the Belgium beers! (I probably loved them a little too much...) They have typical bar food menu which we didn't try because we were just coming off of dinner elsewhere. I hear they have a mean pimento cheese though. The owners were hilarious and engaging, I really liked them. This is a place I will be visiting in the future when I'm on that side of town. It's a great option for Lexington residents on that side of town. read more

I have been to this bar many times and I always enjoy their wide selection of beers on tap. I also enjoy their food and they have expanded their menu. The problem with the place is the service. The staff isn't rude or unprofessional they are just slow and tend to get lost during your visit especially if you are not sitting at the bar. I had not been in awhile due to slow service and gave it another shot last night and everything was good but the service. I would prefer average food and great service but they give great food and beer with average service. I wish they would step up their customer service and I would love this bar. read more

Excellent selection of beers and surprisingly great food. Low key atmosphere with a cozy vibe. Fun outdoor seating area when the weather is nice. Perfect local place to grab a brew. read more

Good selection of beer Foods all right the only downside don't sit outside way too many flies

This place is always hoppin and Billy and Mary are constantly thinking of new, creative ways to entertain a community of beer drinkers. From five course beer meals (beer pairings with each course) to beer yoga on the patio, there is always something exciting going on. Oh, and the beer! They've got the greatest selection of beers from all over! They brew their own and have many local favorites as well as ones from all over the country. Fall in love with a beer from somewhere else and want them to try to get it? Let them know and if they can they certainly will. We've loved this place since they opened! read more

Been several times and keep trying to give it another chance. The poor service overshadows the beer selection. Service is slow and when an issue w the bill, gets even worse. Forget eating bc the order is never right and it is fair at best. I'm done w this place. read more

Stay clear. Beer is okay but service is poor. Long waits and no consideration at all regarding a customer is waiting. Workers seem more interested in talking behind the bar that serving the customers. Place to go if you want to be frustrated and disappointed read more

Staff was friendly. Food was great. And 100 beers on tap! Will definitely be back. We had the buffalo chicken dip special and really enjoyed it. Also had the nachos and those were good as well. read more

My friends and I traveled to Lexington, SC to see the eclipse and Krafty was the perfect spot. We enjoyed their beer, food AND the amazing view. It was an incredibly busy day for Krafty, but the staff was super friendly and helpful throughout the entire day. If I ever find myself in Lexington again, I will definitely be stopping by! read more

I love coming here. Very relaxing and a great place to come with friends to sit and visit. And....the food is amazing!!! I've never had anything I didn't enjoy. Tonight I had the Big Butt Burger and I think the flavor profile puts it in the top for one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Oh...and you can't forget the beer. Great selections and good prices too. I highly recommend KD read more

Lots of craft beer on tap, not many food items and what we ordered nachos was your typical minimal bar food effort.

Great beer selection. Beer took awhile to get my flight of deceased farm beers. Good service though. The local radio station was at the bar and they didn't have the radio on. Like what the heck. I did win tickets but they were in Greenville and I worked late. Good date night spot read more

We had reservations for the Mother's Day brunch today. We have been there before. While service has always been a little slow, today it was the worse I have ever experienced anywhere. Our order was taken fairly soon after we arrived, The restaurant was not crowded. It took too long for the first plate of food to be brought out. Food was brought out for one person at a time, with as much as 15 minutes between. The first person who got food was waiting for others' food to come out, but we told her to go ahead and eat so her food would not get cold. We had two small children with us, and their food was brought out later, although we kept asking about it. The good for two of our party was brought out cold , and we had to ask for it to be reheated. When we complained about the service, the main server said she would check with the kitchen. I told her the problem was not the kitchen. If the food came out cold, it obviously was prepared earlier and sat waiting to be picked up. Krafty Draft's website & app brags that they never use heat lamps. Hint to the restaurant, heat lamp use is better than cold food. It took us over an hour for 5 adults and 2 children to get served. Everyone's food should be brought out together. Food was ok. Don't ever order orange juice there. It is cheap, bitter juice. Because of the abysmal service, we won't return. read more

Great craft beer selection! If you go for the beer, you will be happy. The food, though, even after expansion, is mostly the type of frozen stuff you would pick up at the supermarket when you are too tired to cook for yourself or go out to dinner. The few things they make from scratch, like the pimento cheese, are pretty good. This place is great for an after work or after dinner beer with friends. read more

Came here to check it out with the intention of a drink or two ended up staying for quite awhile. The bar staff is friendly and knowledgeable on beers, but they also don't hover which is nice. We shared a few apps while we were there, the pimento dip and the nachos. Both were served timely and we large enough for sharing. Prices seem reasonable for the types of beer we were drinking. They also had a musician in house that night, nothing too loud we could still hear each other but nice background music. A nice perk is their flight cards are also coupons for $1.00 off a pint later! read more

I love love love this place! Its locally owned and the owners are so nice and every time I've been in no matter how busy they stop and chat. There's board games you can play while you enjoy the beer!!!! I would highly recommend the spicy feta dip its epic! I'm so happy this jewel is right around the corner. read more

Nicest thing I can say is they have a good beer selection and great 90's music playing. Food is basic and bland. Getting ignored for 25 minutes with empty plates and beer glasses in front of us is not cool. I'm not sure the schlep out here is worth the terrible service and mediocre food. The beer selection is good but not that good. Don't waste your time. read more
