Lots of tvs - enjoyed watching the game here while I ate! I ordered the Cajun dry rub flats with the sweet Thai chili sauce on the side. Very good! I asked the bartender to make me a mock tail, and I don't know what it is, but it's really good! plenty of seating, fast service, friendly staff. Typical sports bar vibes. read more

The Draft Bar & Grille - Bone-in wings - Sports Bars Near Me - Liberty Township, Ohio

The Draft Bar & Grille is what happens when a strip mall accidentally breeds with NASA's mission control. Screens everywhere, each one screaming for your attention, like Times Square if Times Square also served dollar burgers on Wednesdays. Service? Forget fast--it's warp speed. Drinks and food hit the table so quick you half expect Alexis to be wearing a space helmet. And speaking of Alexis--her smile isn't just bright, it's dangerous. If OSHA regulated smiles, hers would require protective eyewear. She's got more energy than a Red Bull truck jackknifed on I-75, and let's be honest--she doesn't just serve beer, she makes you feel like you owe her a thank-you note for existing. The Energizer Bunny? Please. That pink furball is filing for early retirement out of shame. The specials are so good they feel like a loophole in capitalism. One-dollar hamburgers on Wednesday, draft pitcher deals that make your liver whisper "call a lawyer." The Draft Burger? A top-to-bottom beast. Order it straight up, add a squirt of ketchup, and boom--you're mainlining Americana. Entertainment? A half-dozen pinball machines, darts, and more gadgets than your buddy's man-cave--except this cave has food, beer, and Alexis flashing that smile that could either start wars or end them, depending on which side of the bar you're sitting on. And the kicker--they stayed open on Labor Day just for us hunters. Nothing says patriotic hospitality like keeping the lights on so a bunch of sweaty guys in camo can mow down red meat after a long day in the field. Bottom line: casual strip-mall vibe, rocket-fuel service, specials that belong in the Guinness Book, and Alexis--whose smile, energy, and charm make The Draft Bar & Grille feel less like a bar and more like the best bad decision you'll brag about tomorrow. read more

If you're from OUT OF STATE, I would NOT recommend coming here. My boyfriend and I were visiting Ohio to see friends and family, as I previously lived here and had heard great things about this place. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. When we showed our IDs, my boyfriend was denied service because his North Carolina state ID was vertical and the bartender claimed "something didn't look right." It was a valid, real ID, and we are both over the age of 21. We asked him to scan it and he said "I'm not scanning that" I understand that establishments may have guidelines or may not be familiar with out-of-state IDs. However, the way the situation was handled was completely unnecessary. Not only were we refused service, but the manager was extremely rude about it. There was no willingness to consider that the ID might be legitimate or to handle the situation respectfully. If they were unsure, this could have been handled much more professionally by simply explaining that they weren't familiar with the ID and therefore couldn't serve alcohol due to their policies. A polite explanation and apology for the inconvenience would have gone a long way. Instead, we were made to feel dismissed and disrespected. (In the middle of a snow storm btw) So us and the rest of our group had to leave. The way "young" adults are treated I guess... This has never happened as we do travel a lot. Please review your guidelines again or update them and educate yourselves on out of state ids. Very disappointing experience, especially for a place that came highly recommended. read more

I'm from out of town so we came here after being inundated with too any crowds and noise elsewhere on Halloween weekend. It was not super packed (yet) so we grabbed a seat by the bar. We ordered drinks which were pretty decent. Since we were hungry, we also ordered food. My partner and I love to order fried pickles at restaurants we venture to and they had them so we ordered it as a starter. We loved it! It was lighter on the batter side, which we like and crispy too. It was served with ranch dressing. Lastly, we both ordered burgers. He had a plain burger with bacon and a side of fries and I had a frisco burger with tater tots. This was hands down the BEST frisco burger I've ever had in my entire life! If we are ever in the area again, we will return just for that frisco alone haha. read more

YUMMY YUMMERSSSSSS CHECK CHECK CHECK IT OUTT . Food was top notch. Service was "bussys" which is what my granddaughter said, it was quite delightful. Ambiance: Loud because of my peers, but a cozy amount with tv in the background. PE PEACE OUTTTT read more

I don't leave reviews often, but I'd give negative stars if I could. Sat with my friends from home for the holidays. 15 minutes before we got service. It's wasn't busy, but it was an issue. When someone finally came, everyone with an out of state ID was denied service. They even said someone's was fake, and attempted to break their ID (we're 26, and all in grad programs, who need to get ID's in our new states for in-state tuition). TLDR: long wait to get service, then refused service bc they don't know out of state ID's and they were disrespectful about it. Also, most of my group was various types of brown, (biracial, Indian), and wasn't sure if there was a component of that as well. We left and went to Liberty Inn down the road. read more

Hubby & I went here for Cincy Burger Week. We decided to sit on the patio because it was pretty loud inside & the weather was perfect for outdoor dining. A server came out within a few minutes & took our drink order. I ordered the Poutine burger which was the Cincy Burger $7 special. Hubby got the single cheeseburger with one side ($10) - he chose onion rings. Our food came out in a timely manner but the server neglected to supply napkins or condiments. We went inside to get what we needed. Our burgers were average - not bad but not on my top 10 list either. We enjoyed petting the two Labradoodles on the patio while waiting for our food. Would I return? Probably not. read more

Great little "hole in the wall" type place. The food is always really good and you you've got a pretty good choice of items for a sports bar. The Reuben egg rolls and buffalo chicken fries are probably my favorite apps. The burgers are good and the wings are great, plenty of sauce options too! Decent beer selection, always a few good craft beers to go along with your normal choices. Alcohol selection is better than expected (especially Bourbon). Definitely one of my go to places if I want a drink and some food and don't feel like cooking. read more

The Draft Bar & Grille - Wings with hot sauce (super peppery), love it - Sports Bars Near Me - Liberty Township, Ohio

Another trip here today. Had the homemade chili---OMG !! This is the best chili I have EVER had. The owner stopped out to check on us, so I complimented him on it. He told me that he had inherited the recipe from a retired business owner and that it has won numerous awards. I can see why read more

We had heard good things about this place so we decided to try it. A few people were there having drinks when we arrived and a few came in for dinner after we got there....all to say they weren't slammed. We got drinks and our order taken quickly but then a very long wait for sandwiches. When I saw a few folks that came in after getting food, I asked about our order and was told that there is only one cook. Weirdly our food came out right after I asked and the food wasn't very hot. The food was just okay and do I feel bad for the single cook having to keep up with a Friday night. I think this place is more for having drinks than meeting for dinner. read more

Loved it!! Visited during Burger Week. Hubby loved the chicken burger. My son and I enjoyed the French burger. Seasoned fries were very tasty. Definitely will be back! read more

Literally the best boneless wings I've ever had tonight here. Now, I come here a lot and the food is good - burgers, wings, salads etc., but what made it so good tonight? This sauce they have called the FIRE! I thought it might be too hot, but no! This sauce has amazing flavor and heat! Best best boneless I have ever ever had. Service was amazing too! Can't wait to come back - might have to make it lunch tomorrow! Well done Draft! Keep kickin it!! Btw - I typically don't like Trivia and it was that night tonight - this guy was great - none of the stupid yelling as loud as you can in the mic - just loud enough to wear you can hear without your brain poppin out your skull. Amazing night. Thanks again!! Don't even bother rollin the dice on this one! read more

Peanut butter on your burger is awesome. We made a special stop in here during burger week because they offered the peanut butter bacon burger. I have had these before at another restaurant a few years ago but most do not offer it on the menu. The burger did not disappoint either. I hope they make it a regular menu item. read more

So our first time here, greeted as soon as we walked in, the server Tonya was absolutely amazing!!!! She's been there for 8 years and she's awesome!!!! They have such a great Bourbon selection, you want it, they have it ,Except Caribou Crossing!!! But it's ok they have PAPPY VANWINKLE!!!! It's only 100$$ a shot , not to bad!!!!The ambiance there reminds me of our local bar Wenger's Bar and Grill!!' Please visit!!!! read more

My wife and I went for drinks, with friends. The only Scotch they had was Johnnie Walker Red. Worse than having to settle on a bottom Scotch was the $9 cost. Seriously, $9? Other bars in the area don't charge that for better Scotches. read more

This place is a no got wings With fire flavor it was hot sauce with crush red peppers, never again

Checked this place out as the first stop for Burger Week. I like that they're offering their burger special as takeout so they get a star for that. The burger itself was good and traveled well so the other 2 stars come from that. The knock down comes from service because I went in for a takeout order and while I asked them to put the order in 20 min after I called if possible, they didn't put it in until I arrived. I ordered takeout because I wanted to get in and out. Especially when I got in and there wasn't a person wearing a mask in sight. I know it's a bar/restaurant, but not what I've seen in other similar establishments. Once they put my order in, they didn't ask if I wanted anything while I waited (what bar doesn't try to sell you a drink?) so I just hung out for about 15 min. Overall, it was ok but not worth a return trip. read more

The Draft is a good bar. It's best for a drink. There's lots of daily specials. It has the usual bar food. The drinks are much better than any food. I had a Kona Brew. It's about $3. This came in a huge glass. It was a lot but thankfully it wasn't all that strong. The service was pretty good, since they weren't all that busy even on a weekend. I would stop by some time again. It has a casual atmosphere. The clientele are usually friendly and they have a friendly staff. read more

The service is slow. We are convinced our servier, Emma, set a 30 minute timer on her phone to check on us. We had empty glass for 40 minutes! read more

Not even a one. Went in and was not served at the table. Went to the bar and was told to go back to the table to be served. Put in drinks (server did not know liquors they had or liquor names and was confused). Then never made our drinks. Other customers even asked why we weren't being served. read more

If I could give it a worse rating I would! I went in to get a bite since I was starving, and they asked ti see my ID. So I have mine to them. I guess the owners could care less about training their employees on the laws and regulations on valid identification since the blonde bartender saw that I had opted out of the realID, which is used for BOARDING PLANES. She said she couldn't serve me and asked me to leave. All based on the fact that she was clueless to how state ids work, great thing for a bartender! I'll just have to assume the rest of their staff is as ignorant or inattentive since this place only has 3 stars. read more

Beatrice is the best server! She is always working cleaning tables and taking care of her customers!

What food we did get to enjoy was good, and the one beer each we did get the pleasure of ordering was ice cold, other than that was not a good experience. Our server Sky was rude and dismissive, she seemed annoyed by our presence for what little time she was present. She seemed more preoccupied by sitting at the bar playing on her phone than attending to our empty glasses for almost 45 minutes. Heard good things about this place, shame to have had such a rough first experience. read more

Food, drink, and service was good but when people started vaping we can't recommend this place. They allow vaping so if you have issues, like having cancer previously, stay away. We won't be back. No smoking should include vaping as I believe children should also not be exposed to this. read more

This place has great drink specials and good bar food. I'm sure there are some douche bags out there that will say some dumb $h!t about this place but much like those who think they are experts on the current economy, are wrong. read more

I wouldn't even give them a one star if it would let me leave a comment!! Worse servers I've ever had in my life!!! 2.5 hours yes 2.5 I had to keep going to the bar to refill my beer.. alllll 3 times.. order an appetizer only to be told 40 minute later they can't make it.. then once we finally get our food.. was not worth the wait... won't be back ever!!! I'm pretty lenient on leaving a tip but this time she got 15% and she was only lucky to get that because I believe you leave a 15% no matter where you go I would've left her a penny on table!! DO NOT GO THERE if you expect good food and service read more

I've been to quite a few bars and pubs over the years. In my neighborhood and around the world. The Draft is by far one of the worst. It's not that it's dirty or disgusting, in fact, in that regards its not so bad. It just sucks in every other possible way. This is not based on one visit. This is based on several visits, at different times, on different days. First off, drinks. Yes they have beer, wine and other drinks. In that department they're fine. Prices, not bad. Unfortunately that's where the good part of my review stops. The food, not great. I've tried a few things here and there and I've never been impressed. Very substandard garbage. The service, also not great. Now, I've had better luck going up to the bar. I have noticed that there's a few guys who work behind the bar that are pretty good and attentive. Solid bar tenders. In fact, the table service is so bad, I've had to go to the bar more often when I'm sitting at a table or booth because we can't get a server to come back to our table. Not only have some of the servers proved themselves to be less than worthless, there is no regard for their lack of service when it is pointed out or brought to their attention. Some of the worst I've seen. If you go there earlier in the day or around dinner time, maybe just before dinner time, you will find families and kids. Not a bad atmosphere. They're eating crap food, but at least they're not assholes. But after that, the red carpet is rolled out for the douchebags and its nothing but trouble. I've had some pretty interesting experiences with some of the dirt bags that come into this bar. Would I go back? Let's just say that I'm pretty sure the last time I was there will remain to be the last time. I have no interest in going back. We have a handful of choices in our area for local bars. Many of them are so much better than this place. I honestly have a hard time finding why this place stays in business. There is no draw to it. I can go down the street to Putter's, with no problem. Sometimes the service might be a little lacking there, but it's typically because they're always busy. Plus, they actually have good food. So, if you have no standards for food and you're a complete tool, The Draft is the place for you! Have fun. read more

I went here on the way home recently to try it for myself. I had heard mixed reviews when it opened so I wanted to wait until the kinks were worked out. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. We were a large group of kids and adults and we made the last few minutes of happy hour. The staff was very friendly and the happy hour specials are fantastic and abundant. Since it was Thursday, the daily special was liquor pitchers for five bucks. The draft beer selection is very good and the menu is your typical bar food. I chose the burger and it was tasty and grilled nicely. They brought it out with all the fixings and fries for a great process too. The only reason I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars was the fact that the server was not attentive as he could have been. Overall it was a good weekday stop afterwork to unwind or after a kids practice for a fun family dinner. read more

The Draft Bar & Grille - The midweek bar scene at the Draft - Sports Bars Near Me - Liberty Township, Ohio

I have eaten at this establishment 12 times up until the end of this July when the day time bartender left. She did an excellent job. Separate from her, I had tried this place on weekends and only during the day. My experience is that the food is at best mediocre. Yes, average. It cannot compete with the other local Sports bar restaurants with a similar business model, not for food quality. Cold soup and cold chili are the norm, cold as in barely warm, even when sent back more than once. There are no male bartenders there so my observation is that there is a pattern of the same female employees looking unkempt and unacceptable for going to work. The place and the restrooms are clean, but the food and people give no reason to return at least in the day. read more

The staff is great...friendly, attentive, etc. They take the time to get to know their customers. Food is always fresh and tasty! Had them cater our son and daughter's graduation party and our guests loved the pulled pork! If you haven't tried them, you are missing out. If you haven't tried them in a while, they have gotten even better! Plus, the owner (Caleb) Is a Browns fan, so I can share my misery! :) read more

Continuing to sell beers that brewery representatives leave them as samples. Was in last week and had an entire shelf of a cooler with samples available to buy. So you can sell beer that you don't pay for and make 100% profit? Some shady business that doesn't deserve my business. read more

We stopped in on a random Tuesday night and we love their loaded tots but decided to get the tacos that were on special. Well let me tell you, they were delicious! Very well seasoned and tons of meat on them. Better than some I've had at restaurants specializing in them. $1 off drafts are a winner as well. Will be back for taco Tuesday no doubt. read more

We have lived in the area for a long tine and have been coming to the Draft for years. There have been ups and downs. They have decent food under the new ownership. Though more often than not they don't have table service which is terrible for a place that is a bar and promotes their new menu and food / chef partnership. Most times you have to go the bar and order your food after about 7pm. Tonight was terrible. The food was good once we got to order. However the one waitress seemed more preoccupied with having shots (at least three lemon drops) with a table in the middle of the room. Before we could order. May be r t he last time I go back. Not worth the effort. Go to Putters, BW3 or anywhere else. read more
