    Good times. Cold beer. Hang out among friends, play some pool or go video bowling, and get the high score.

    Great place to gather with the whole family, including dogs. I had the McSmash burger, which was…read moregood. The pretzel really hit the spot and came with good beer cheese.

They have a great space with plenty of seating, both indoors and out. They have TVs throughout the brewery so watching a game there is probably pretty easy. I started with the onion rings and then went with the double smash burger and I have to say it was solid. They also have a great selection of beers which included several guest taps. My only piece of constructive criticism is that when I got my 3 growlers filled at the end of my visit (because they have good beer and I wanted to drink more later), my growlers were neither sealed nor labeled. For those that don't know, breweries usually label the growlers with beer your ordered and seal it so it doesn't leak. I've only ever run into this once before, it was in Amarillo, TX. I didn't make a fuss about it but it didn't come off as the most professional or polished in that respect. I'd really like to see them reexamine this part of their operation and possibly consider branded labels for the growlers (so that you know what you're drinking) and branded caps (their dog logo would fit perfectly and be a good way to rep the brand). Overall, I had a great visit. But I'll inquire before getting my growlers filled again.

    Craft and Draft was pretty good, and definitely exceeded my expectations this time around. For…read morecontext, I had come here once before, and left somewhat unimpressed with the experience that I had. However, I decided to give Craft and Draft another shot, and I'm definitely glad that I did. Unbeknownst to me, they were holding "trivia night" on the night that I went, which drew a pretty large and lively crowd. While I think that the inside volume was turned up a little too high, it did serve to loosen everybody up, as I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the other patrons, who were all very kind and sociable. I also got to check out the back patio for the first time, which was fun, but not quite as notable as some of the other taproom patios that I've been to. In addition, despite the fact that they had heaters on the patio, they didn't seem to be emanating much heat, as it remained pretty cold outside. What I did like was the fact that there was a pizza truck outside, which was making wood-fired pizzas on the spot, and which looked great! (I didn't have one myself, but everybody I asked told me that they tasted great as well.) As for the beers... they were pretty solid! On draft, I got one of the Burial IPAs, which was 8% ACV, and tasted pretty good as well! My friend said that the beer that they got out of the refrigerator was good as well, and that they had a lot of beers that they had never seen or heard of before. As for me, I noticed that they had one canned beer that was 9.5% ACV, which I had never seen before either! The two (2) bartenders working that night were really cool, knew their beers, and definitely made me and my friend feel welcomed. All-in-all, Craft and Draft was a pretty fun taproom, which *might* be a little better in the warmer months versus the cooler ones. Despite this, I'd still recommend stopping by to grab some unique brews, and enjoy the lively but not overly hectic atmosphere.

    Great customer service, so much fun, great selections of tap beer and ciders. I'm not a beer…read moredrinking so the ciders were perfect. The cherry cider was my fave. Beautiful layout and lots of game options. Nice and dark but illuminated well throughout. Adequate indoor and outdoor seating, patio style seating out back. Free popcorn station. Board/card games available, jumbo Jenga and tons of other options. They have frozen drinks, cocktails and tap beer/cider. Great for groups, you can bring in your own food. Pet friendly. They bought my dog a nice bowl of cool water. He enjoyed himself. I didn't get much alcohol on the frozen drinks but the flavor was good. The popcorn wasn't hot and fresh however it was free and had tons of seasoning options which was super fun and cute. I can't wait to go back. This was a great outing with a friend and my dog! The music is loud near so you may want to step out to have more of an intimate conversation. So fun to be a kid again. I would take your pet on the slower days, during the week etc just so it's not too much.

While the music can be a bit loud for my liking, they have a pretty good selection of single and multiplayer arcade games. They have really fun drink options and a wide selection of beer to choose from. My favorite is the back area thats a bit quieter but has jenga and large connect 4. A good place to decompress from the intensity inside.
