Just the beginning.

Though such a place exists in nearby Aiken (SC), downtown Augusta has been void of a self-serve taproom. Until now. Draft Society Taproom is my new favorite superhero, saving me from purchasing entire pints of beers I find digesting. Here, you pay by the ounce. And what might you paying for? Well let me tell you. Ciders, kombucha, wine, domestic beers, and a wide range of beers (IPA's to brown ale's to porters). You step off of Broad Street and into another world. Cornhole inside, electronic dart boards, and a modern jukebox (for those of us old enough to remember those). And the process is simple; step up to the counter, they swipe your card and return it (just like starting a tab at the bar), give you a wristband, and you're off! You hold the wristband up to the logo at any of the taps, the light blinks, and you're ready to pour. The price per ounce and ABV and under the description. I will mention that once you hit a cumulative of 32 ounces it will cut off. That's just a precaution so you return to the counter and either get another 32, or someone calls you a ride home. My first visit I did a wide assortment; IPA's, ale's, and porter's. I will say the descriptions are on point. I took the time to walk around and found the space to be longer than one might expect from the outside. It has already been added to my list of favorite bars and I know there will be regular visits to see what's new on tap. With the hours being Monday through Wednesday/12-10 pm and Thursday through Saturday/12 pm-12 am it looks like I have plenty of time to do so. Be sure to stop in soon and try it for yourself!

One time we came to Draft Society for my friend's 25th birthday. He has Type 1 Diabetes and his blood sugar got scary low while we were here... even though they didn't sell food at that time, the employees went back into the kitchen and made my friend a sandwich. Needless to say, the service is great and we love coming here. It's one of my favorite places in Augusta to go on a date or with a group of friends! They have a great self- pour style beer selection including local breweries, as well as ciders, seltzers, and wines. There are plenty of games and seating available. We love to play any of the card/ board games they have, as well as the jukebox, shuffle board, and lots of newer arcade games! Very dog friendly. Free popcorn. Live music. What else can I say.

This place is amazing. My husband and I found this place on accident, and we're so glad we did. This has been such a fun place to meet up with friends and family to have a drink. Their selection is always interesting and fun. I wish their music was a little quieter but other than that it's a perfect little bar.

Really cozy relax spot. Nice place to try drinks only wish they had food. Even if it's pretzels or nuts to munch on while drinking.

The service is always amazing.Even when it is crowded, we don't ever really have a terribly long…read morewait, and the food is amazing.

Whiskey Bar is one of my favorite restaurants in Augusta, especially for a picky eater and a burger…read morelover! I have been multiple times before but this is my first review! The restaurant is unique on the inside and gives a somewhat hole-in-the-wall bar vibe (but cleaner). During the day time, I would say it is family friendly, but at night it can definitely get rowdier so go at your own risk, it is called Whiskey Bar after all. The burgers are very good and are cooked very well with lots of options for customization. I always go for the classic WB(K) burger with Swiss cheese and pickles. The waffle fries are always so crisp and yummy. The same goes for the potstickers as an appetizer. Even their other burger combos that seem strange are actually pretty good if you are into that type of burger. The service is always pretty good. Friendly staff that was quick. Not a long wait on a Tuesday night, but have definitely waited before on a Friday or Saturday. They have a first come, first serve bar as well. The tables can be somewhat cramped depending on where you are sat and it is definitely not an accessible place as the entrance is crammed and all the tables are high tops on the inside, the outside is better with low top tables and benches. The Diet Coke was okay. A little syrupy so their ratio on the fountain soda machine must be a little off. Still good, but I have had better. Overall, one of the best burger restaurants in Augusta and most stop place in the area!
