    Crispy to perfection chicken wings
    Wendy J.

    First time to visit meeting friends in the Spring area off of 2920 it's in a strip center. It was clean at the bartender was nice. The food was great and plenty of parking in front and in the back.prices were average

    Although we ended up here on accident, I'm glad we did. Honestly, I'd never considered Thistle Draftshop for dinner, but they delivered! In addition to a hearty selection of brews, and take home packs, we were pretty impressed by their elevated bar food. I mean what other brewery has Campechana and Brussels sprouts with pomegranate on their bar menu (I didn't try them, but still)?! We did order one of their deli style sandwiches, pretzel sticks with beer cheese and wings, and everything delivered. There's nothing better than an unexpected gem, right?

    Great selection of beer; limited wine selection room. Good, fun atmosphere on a Thursday night. Food took a looong time to arrive. Thai-flavored Chicken Wings were so-so; dry and hardly Thai flavor - a tiny smear of Yellow Curry Sauce on the plate and a few cashews and red chillis. Hardly Thai - pricey and disappointing. Steakhouse Burger and Fries, however, were fantastic. Asked for Med-Rare but got Med, but overall very tasty. Good neighborhood gathering hole. Paid over $50 for two, including $10 tip.

    Searched live music. Found Groove City Texas performing at Thistle Draftshop. They were awesome. We were a bit late. We watched from the side room. Pianist, bassist, I guess drummer. And lead singer Lady. Great selection of songs sung. My husband and I so enjoyed. Tina Turner "Whats Love Got To Do With It?" A song by Roy Orbison, The theme song from TV sitcom "The Jeffersons." "Moving on Up" So fun, so familiar. Pianist sang lead, bassist sang lead and of course the Lady. A song sung by Sade. It was so fun. Food delicious. Ordered food from bar. Excellent customer service. Restroom clean. Thank you. A really nice time. Pleasant place. Highly recommend

    Lots of parking, daily specials, and solid burgers and draft list. We went in for dinner on a whim after driving by a bunch of times and seeing it was packed. There was a bingo night going on but even without events, don't expect to be seated- grab a menu, pick a table, and order at the bar, and they'll bring your order to your seat. There were also several tv's showing that night's game (basketball) so it was a really, let's say, spirited environment for a weekday night. Despite the packed house, we got our burgers out in a reasonable time, pretty quick. I got the classic burger with fries, and it was a solid meal.

    My husband and I visit many breweries throughout the country. The beers here were so good. We enjoyed that they even had local breweries beers. Unfortunately, I don't remember the names of the four beers we had. I know that they were under the Big and Heavy menu and one was a stout the other was a nitro. I think the other was a triple. Service was great. The place is quite relaxing. Food was so good. We will definitely be coming back.

    I been coming here since it opened. This is "Cheers" version of a bar for me. The staff is always amazing and always helps with recommendations. I love draft beer and the options they have in a can as well. The beer does fluctuate for variety, but there is always a selection. My favorite day to come is on Thursdays for Bingo. Everyday is a theme and you can always find the schedule on social media. I love the vibe of this place and the maturity of the guests and music selection.

    Thistle is a really fun spot for hanging out with friends and enjoying drinks/food while watching a game. They have multiple large screens for watching football as well as a large patio area. There is also a lounge space and circle bar. The food options are diverse for a draft shop. We got the wings and pasta salad - both were great! The most impressive items on the menu are, of course, their draft selection and take home beverage wall. This consists of an entire wall of fridges filled with beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase to take home. They have monthly activities - like burlesque or trivia - flyers posted throughout the space. Parking fills up but there are additional spots behind the building. Great spot if you're looking to try new beverages and have a fun evening!

    I was thinking about that scene in Pulp Fiction where Vincent Vega is taken aback by Mia's $5 milkshake. He said "I don't know if it is worth $5 but that's a dam good milkshake." My 16 y/o grandson was in the mood for a burger so we went to Thistle Draftshop. We took a seat and were promptly attended to. I had the classic burger and he ordered the Thai burger. Normally, when I ask him how his food is I get a grunt or an "ok" but several times he said his burger was "great." I thought mine was pretty good also. I think that's the first burger I ever had where the bun didn't fall apart before I finished the burger. Those are the crispiest fries I've ever had, and I mean that in a good way. They do breakfasts also, and brunch on the weekends. Good food and a large selection of brews. Several TVs and big screen TVs also. Was it worth $16? I don't know, but it was a really good burger

    I've been to thistle a few times now and always had a good experience. The vibe is nice, service is good. The food is good too but a bit expensive. I paid $18 for the fancy ass truffle fries ($15 + tip), which is crazy. They were good but for bar food that price is a little much. I could get a full meal for that price and then some. Me and my friends went for trivia (on Tuesday's) and it was ok. Lots of teams playing and the bar was pretty noisy - hard to hear the trivia announcer. We probably wouldn't go back for trivia. Overall, thistle is usually pretty good but a bit expensive, loud, and busy. Just not really my vibe haha

    Thistle is a terrific place to hang out, enjoy a very wide selection of draft beers and enjoy some very good pub food. It's a casual barn-like space, open to the outside when the weather is decent, and there's also an outside patio in back, along with more parking. They have a large projection TV for showing sports, etc as well. Service from the bar, but the crew is friendly and responsive. I've been numerous times both for business and casual meals and the food has been consistently excellent. The menu is not too large and is primarily pub fare - burgers, sandwiches, etc, but the food is amazingly good. It's certainly more expensive than a fast food burger, but in today's market $16-18 for a really good burger with fries is not out of line and the quality is superb. The list of sharables is pretty extensive and the brussel sprouts are wonderful - I could make a meal out of those. Last night my partner and I split a burger and an order of sprouts and it was plenty of food for two.

    A great experience! The staff, food, and whole experience were amazing! The bartender was very friendly, made great recommendations, and overall, we had a great chat with him. The rose cider I ordered was the perfect mix of rose flavor with the crispness of cider. The thai burger I ordered with the truffle fries and o my goodness what the burger one of the best things I have ever had. Sweet, salty, spicy and tangy, all the things you look forward to but between buns. The truffle fried where also very delicious but after starting our meals we realized quickly it was a lot of food! Looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu!

    Amanda W.

    Overall, a pretty decent spot for the area to get lunch. Definitely on the pricier side for what the food really is. The truffle fries app is $14 and the pork belly taco (2) are around the same. Friendly service, plenty of seating - at bar or at a table. Pork belly tacos had a lot of unique flavor throughout and maybe could've been a bit less crunchy but still a good choice. The aioli of course makes the fries, as per usual. But the truffle and parm amount was a solid ratio to fries. A lot of interchanging draft beers as well.

    Ask the Community - Thistle Draftshop

    Is it Dog friendly?

    Yes, they have a patio.

    Is this a kid friendly place?

    Somewhat… I believe they have some board games and the menu features some kid items. However it really is more for beer lovers who appreciate craft beer and great (eclectic) food.

    Do they often rotate their offerings to include some of the more well known Michigan breweries (New Holland, Founders, Bell's, etc.)? And can I bring in my own growler to be filled?

    Hi, They certainly do rotate their beers, not sure of the specifics when it comes to what they choose and you can get where filled. They also do bomber aluminum cans while you… Read more

    Can you smoke here?

    Not in the bar, but can outside.

    Has anyone tried the water here?

    Yes. It tastes like BEER!!!
