First Draft is a fantastic spot for a casual night out! 🍻 With a great selection of local beers and creative cocktails, I felt right at home. I indulged in the Buffalo Chicken burger and crispy fries – absolutely delicious!

The vibe is relaxed, perfect for catching a game, and the staff were super friendly, making the experience even better. They also offered quick service, which I appreciated.

I can’t wait to return and try more items from their tempting menu... Will definitely be back! 🥳
