Tried a flight of 4 beers: 2 blonde, 2 kolsch and enjoyed all of them! Was not crowded on a Wednesday night. Regular dining seating, outdoor patio, and bar seating. TVs throughout, pretty large place. read more

Came to Final Draft tonight for dinner. Second time trying this place. The first time I came here, I had a burger with tots and we ordered fried artichoke hearts. Was amazing! Tonight was not amazing. We were sat and ordered our food. We waited a little over 30 minutes for our food (fish tacos and french dip with fries). The french dip was so bad, I might not ever come back to this place. The meat was chewy and tasted old, covered up by grilling it so well done that it was literally gross. Our server offered us refills as she took our plates away. The food being inedible wasn't her fault. If theres a next time, Ill stick to the burger. read more

Stopped in for lunch today. Greeted with a friendly smile and seated quickly. Only one other small group when we arrived. Fun music playing and football on the screens. We started with pretzel and beer cheese and it was yummy. Randy got the crispy buffalo chicken sandwich and really liked it. He added red onion and cheddar. I ordered chicken tenders and tots. The first tots that were brought out weren't very crispy so she took them back and brought out a fresh batch. She said the first order was their first batch of the day and the second batch was much better for us. We also shared a side salad which was ok. Our server was the person who took our order and continually checked in with us. She was awesome. read more

Very nice outdoor patio, quick and good service with a nice selection of beverages and food. We had a late lunch. The brisket burger was phenomenal. I would say you can't go wrong ordering anything with brisket here - smoked in house, sliced thin and deliciously tender. The peach salad was refreshing with fresh beets, feta crumbles, grilled chicken breast, tomatoes, red onion and scant pecans. I think the peaches were frozen - they came on the salad grilled and I didn't care for the ginger dressing. read more

Huge indoor space but we opted for the patio on this lovely day. Our waiter Isaiah was very attentive and service was quick. The Ahi burger was fresh and delicious and the tacos hit the spot. Great selection of locally brewed beer. Nice pit stop for a road trip. read more

We stopped at Final Draft Brewing Company for lunch during our long drive. Unfortunately, it fell short for me! On a Sunday afternoon, they weren't busy at all. The interior was very spacious and had an industrial vibe. They also had an outdoor seating area, which didn't look as cute. I skipped the beer, although two of my friends said theirs were great. The food was the real letdown, considering the menu sounded awesome. We got two orders of Mac & Cheese Bites to share between the four of us, and these were the best item of the bunch. I will say, some pieces just tasted like deep-fried gooey cheese, no actual macaroni. But I really enjoyed the spicy ranch dipping sauce. My friends ordered the Fish Tacos to share, and these were really not great. They said the fish tasted like it was past its prime. I shared the Harvest Salad and the Brisket Sliders. The salad was very mediocre and the chicken in it was super bland and dry. The texture of the squash was also off. The Brisket Sliders were okay, but also not amazing - oddly too much sweetness. Service was friendly and quick, but overall I wasn't a fan of this meal. read more

Downtown Redding honestly surprised me, it's super walkable, full of bike lanes, and everyone's cruising around on their e-bikes looking happy. The weather was perfect when we went, not too hot and not too cold, so walking over to The Final Draft Brewery felt like the perfect way to enjoy the evening. The vibe here is exactly what you want from a local brewery: relaxed, fun, and full of good energy. The music was a mix of late 90s/early 2000s hits, which totally set the tone for a happy night out. We each tried a couple of beers...I went with the Miso Blonde and the Hailey Comet, and both were delicious, smooth, and super refreshing. For dinner, I had the Showstopper Beyond Burger, it was perfectly cooked, layered with chipotle aioli, jalapeño aioli, and pepper jack cheese, just the right amount of spicy kick. I highly recommend it. Service was excellent! our server was attentive and friendly, and both food and drinks came out quickly. That always makes such a difference. Overall, Final Draft Brewery delivered on all fronts: great beers, tasty food, fast and friendly service, and a vibe that makes you want to stay for another round. With so many restaurants around, we're so glad we picked this one, it did not disappoint. We'll definitely be back! read more

Was in the area and they have a great selection of beer. We arrived around noon and a few tables were taken but no one was sitting at the bar. There is a lot of seating both inside and outside. We both ordered flights since we hadn't had their beer lately. I enjoy sours and they have a good amount to try. We ordered the Brisket Sliders and the Fried Green Beans. The food came out pretty quickly. Both were tasty but the sliders were messy (expected of course). You will need lots of napkins. Staff were nice and were very busy. There are many TVs available to watch sports. read more

They have a great variety of beer! And not just IPA/Hazy lol I had the blackberry blonde, true blood (blood orange), blueberry cider (it kinda taste like wine), and the goin' nutz stout. You can really taste the flavors without a hard imagination. The peanut butter jelly burger caught my attention and I just had to get it. And I was right, it was so yummy. It came with a side of your choice, I picked the curly potato wedges. The dipping sauce was so good as well. Great experience, would love to come back and try more beer. We also took home some 4-pack with us, including their special anniversary brew. Also, they had sufficient AC. read more

Friendly service. Casual atmosphere. Tasty food. Lots of options for beer drinkers. We were on our way to Mount Shasta and found this place as our stop for lunch. It was pretty full considering it was just a Monday afternoon so that's always a good sign. Plenty of TVs if you wanna catch a game, lots of bar seating and very open space for tables. Lots of options in the menu! Hubby ordered the special which was fish tacos and I got a southwest chicken sandwich with onion rings. The sandwich had all my favorite flavors and those onion rings were perfection. Not greasy, definite, onion flavor, not mushy. Yum! After tasting a few options, we landed on Your Mom's a Hazy IPA. Fun place to visit when in Redding. read more

We came here on a Sunday evening and it was pretty empty. The space is big so even when it is full, it will not feel cramped up. There is indoor and patio seating. We sat indoors. We ordered the Crazy Pills pilsner and the Red raspberry kombucha. We got an order of chicken wings with honey BBQ sauce to share. The pilsner was ok. The kombucha was excellent but from a can! If I can buy some of it online, I plan to. The wings were decent with lots of sauce and a well-cooked chicken. They had a baseball game on their monitors so we had fun grabbing drinks, eating and watching the game. Our server was friendly and prompt with suggestions. Good experience overall. They have a good list of beers and also some wines so there is a little something for everyone. read more

Stopped in on a road trip so was looking for a place to relax. Opted for the Jefferson Bacon burger with onion rings. The burger is thick and juicy and cooked perfectly. Brilee was our server and was perfect. I don't think I've ever seen a server with such a sense of urgency to make sure you had everything you needed. It was a very good choice for our break from the road. Would definitely recommend. read more

One of my favorite breweries in the Redding area! Went for brunch earlier in the day, and then ended up going again to dinner later on. Brunch is offered on the weekend starting at 11 a.m., small menu but good options. The chicken and waffles was absolutely delicious, and likewise with the French Dip, highly recommend both. Service is typically great and the brewery itself is nicely maintained, clean and has a nice vibe. Stop by to try! read more

Food and service was great, but I seriously question cleanliness. The bathroom is disgusting and makes me seriously question the cleanliness of the kitchen. If you can't clean the bathroom, how clean is the kitchen? Clearly there is grime built up over a long period of time in the bathroom - not to mention it smelled strong of chemical/deodorant. Bottom line, the bathroom is gross and I hope the kitchen is clean. read more

Final Draft hits all the notes for me. - Extensive tap list with many varieties of beer. - Fish tacos are excellent; we had both grilled and fried. - Top tier service - Many seating options, including a very sittable bar - The only negative is the way too small restrooms given the capacity of the pub. Plan accordingly. read more

Tonight i went out to Final Draft downtown for mothers day dinner with my 15 month old. I ordered the mango margarita cause id been craving one all day and it came out served in a glass with a big cube? Ive never seen that before, im a bartender and so that was very odd to me and it just tasted like straight mango juice. Our server didnt care to bring us napkins or refill our waters not once when i had asked twice. When food came out i had asked her to leave off an item off my sandwich and it came out on there which usually i dont care but it was green chillis and i just dont like them at all on a sandwich. Maybe not her fault but still. I then went inside to see if i could get a set of silverware to cut my sandwich in half and they said they were completely out of all silverware including knives/steak knives because the dishwasher had called out. Once we were done i asked for the check and a box and she saw my margarita just sitting there and didnt ask if there was something i could replace it with or fix about it and just kept it on the bill. She came outside to get the check and said " just meet me inside" like oh okay. I then go inside after trying to finish the margarita and she hands me the check and says "just leave it on a table" not a thank you or goodbye or thanks for coming in. Ive had this girl many times so shes probably been there forever and i read previous reviews about the manager not being a big help. Love the food, hate the service. Ive never left a bad review but as a server of 10 years it was sad to have a bad experience at a place i enjoyed going to. read more

Great draft beer made here, very good quality bar food. Service was awesome, and our dogs were very happy!

We went here for dinner and enjoyed everything that was served. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. Our server was prompt, efficient, and friendly. The place was clean. I am going to have to three star the place because it seems like the portion sizes have really decreased lately. We have visited her a lot and on this occasion we barely received any fries with our items which is sad because this place has amazing fries. read more

Came in to try to Peanut Butter Jelly Time Burger and was not let down. The burger was delicious and the flavors really worked. The only thing I wish was that the raspberry actually came through on the beer bacon raspberry jam. My husband and I also shared the pretzel bites with beer cheese, which was fine, though the cheese sauce was grainy. The team onsite was great! read more

Burgers were really good. Every burger averages 20.00. 2 burger, 2 waters, 1 beer tip tax over 60.00. Only reason it wasn't 5 stars. Server was very nice and helpful. read more

Awesome beer. The espresso martini was super good. Had the fish and chips. I liked the chips better than the fish - very unique presentation. The fish was good but a bit chewy and overly greasy for my taste. Our server was awesome. She should be a model, movie star or politician. She made the experience impressive. I will be going back to try something different. Not to be missed in downtown Redding. read more

I've tried several times to post a review but the owner keeps basing his remarks on the comments of two people, which he admitted to, and which is gossip and hearsay. His accusations of "inappropriate comments, hate speech and foul language" are blanket statements deflecting the actual issues addressed in this review and are completely unfounded. (If the accusations were true, why were we allowed into his establishment for years?) Truth be told, we liked the place, but now we feel we have no reason to protect it from the violations it has committed. To clarify, this review is not intended as retribution, but merely as a public service. Let's try this again and see what happens. The ambiance at Final Draft is fine and the beer is good, but the food is just okay and it's expensive. Final Draft doesn't card minors but they allow them to drink at the bar. They serve people who are already drunk and who cuss a blue streak with kids present. They allow dogs in the restaurant that are not service dogs. This goes against the California Retail Food Code.The brewery allows people to bring in food from the outside and eat it in the restaurant, which goes against their policy. Final Draft is filthy, from the cobwebs hanging outside on their patio to their repulsive bathrooms that are frequently out of paper products and soap, and have paper towels flowing out of the full waste receptacles onto the floor and toilet paper all over the floor. read more

I came into final draft on my way up to Lassen from the South Bay this past weekend. For context, the outside temperature in Redding that day was 114 ! The AC was working overtime here for sure as it was nice and comfy and cool inside! I was immediately welcomed by the hostess and offered a seat in the restaurant or at the bar. As it was just me stopping for happy hour on my way through town, I sat at the bar and didn't have to wait there either. I had a Pilsner ($5) and chicken tacos ($7), and I'd get both again. Super reasonable and the perfect HH treat! Next time I'm in the area, I'll be stopping by again! read more

Was looking for a pit stop for some good eats on the second leg of an otherwise long road trip; on our way to Napa. We had our pup with us so we specifically found this spot because they are dog friendly. Tiny bit off the highway to get to it, so it is a little out of the way. Good selection of beers and ciders on draft. Lots of choices of items to eat, a little bit of everything to please all. Service was friendly, nice shaded patio was appreciated in the heat. Definitely a locals spot but food was tasty. Would for sure come back. read more

Was in the area and looking for somewhere open on New Year's Day! What a find . The server was helpful and friendly----lots of beer choices and a full menu . Had the classic crispy chicken Sammy with tots (definitely not frozen). Chicken was juicy and super crispy and everything was so fresh .y son had the tacos and he really enjoyed them as well. I didn't leave anything on my plate. I chose the blackberry beer ----sweet and light with a really nice berry finish! I can't wait to go back. read more

On a recommendation stopped in for lunch and it was well worth it. Plenty of seating, friendly staff and lots of menu options. We started with pretzel bites that were very good and then I opted for a Santa Fe chicken salad, that was fantastic. The chicken was tender and flavored well. There was a little spice too, which I enjoyed. Overall a great blend of flavors. I will also say, my husband got a blueberry cider beer. I do NOT enjoy the taste of beer typically but he had me try it and I actually really liked it. A place I would return to! read more

Boy oh boy did we make the right decision coming here. While heading north we stopped in redding for food and even though we didnt drink, were sure happy we stopped at final draft. My fiancee ordered a salad and it was HUGE and i got a burger that was cooked so well. The inside of this place is super cool and they have the brewing vats right there that you can sit by. The dtaff are super friendly and the food came out really fast, definitely coming back here when we are around! read more

Very disappointed with my visit. The menu states they have many vegan or vegetarian options which they do so I agreed to go with my family. The 1star is because the vegan burger is cooked with the meat -NOT vegan not in a separate pan. All the fries are cooked with chicken tenders even the pretzel bites are fried with meat grease making them not vegetarian. Not sure why but I was very bummed. I opted for the peach salad, not worth 19.00 they use can peaches. So first and last time to go there. read more

We've been eating at Final Draft for years. It's one of the more reliable restaurants in Shasta County for food quality, beer quality, decent wines, and ambience. If you're comfortable in a big, casual brewery with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, this could be your next stop. Today I ordered a side salad and the Beer Battered Fish (think fish and chips) and a glass of Chardonnay. My friend ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wings and one of the many beers. Both our meals were good, as usual. Over the years, the thing that always brings our reflections of the restaurant down from a 5-star to a 4-star is the inexperienced servers. The service isn't bad, they just don't seem to pay attention, are always in a rush, and unorganized. This causes wrong orders, delays for refires of entrees, or less complex fixes that only take a few minutes (like today again). The prices are reasonable and the servers are always friendly. If they spent a little more time studying the menu, asking questions of kitchen staff or management, and actually listening to customers, maybe they could save the company a bit in wasted food, remakes, and lost time for running back and forth for fixes. Despite this slight aggravation, we are regulars and will continue to be. read more

Final draft is one of my favorite spots for a good burger and a great beer. The Peanut Butter Jelly Time Burger is my favorite The Brisket Burger is a close second..!! The arrest me Amber draft is a quality Amber. They can be hard to find in this area..!!!

The food is consistent, the staff is accommodating, and the atmosphere is relaxed read more

The pbj hamburger is my fav! I haven't had anything else besides that one and order it every time I come here. I don't live in town so it's maybe every other month. There is a lot of beer to enjoy that my family likes- I don't drink so no comment outside of the fact the family enjoys it. read more

This gets five stars because I can't give it ten. It's a GEM in Redding - definitely go here if you are able. It's got a KILLER tap list - what place has 31 of THEIR OWN taps?! And they were all scrumptious. A flight is 5oz each, so pace yourself - you just buy them independently and they place them in a cute little candle-holder looking carrier. I went with 4 and got all the dark beers, but if you were going to spend some time you could get way more and love them all. We sat outside as it is dog-friendly - there's a little bit of a fly problem (so minus one star from 10 to 9) in the hot summer months, but the plusses of this place outweigh the cons like crazy. The food menu was impossible to choose - I was between a burger and the beet salad - but when the time came I panic-ordered a burger with a horseradish aioli. The burger was perfect and their sidewinders (aka beer battered fries) are worth the calories. Our server was attentive, kind, and patient while we asked a dozen questions about the beer, what her favorite food on the menu was, and offered opinions on the sides, which were spot on. It might be that it was a Sunday night, but she was happy to take her time and we never felt rushed. I wish we had more time in this town to go back more than once. read more

A great place to meet friends. Food is very good. Bar, plus tables inside. Plus a outdoor dining, and conversation area.

Came here via a recommendation from our lovely hotel front desk person at Fairfield Marriot on Caterpillar (she should get a free beer ). Came here New Year's Day which was perfect for us because no long waits and free parking for the win. We ordered the filet mignon salad, unbeetable peach salad, sliders, sidewinder fries and the tomato soup and grilled cheese special, along with a pint of True Blood. All were delicious. We had great service and walked away full. So glad we came to a local place rather than a chain. Bought so beer (True Blood, Impeached sour and chocolate cake) to take home. read more

Great place to have a beer. Food on the other hand is not spectacular. In a word Beer GOOD. Food SO SO

We were in town for the Rodeo and found a great brewery. The inside was nice and spacious, high exposed ceilings. The wait staff was friendly and quick in attending the tables. We had a party of 8, no reservations and they got us seated within 5 min. The food variety was ample. Salads, appetizers, sandwiches and burgers. I also recall some steaks. My American burger was well cooked, juicy and huge. I heard from our friends that ordered the tacos that they were full of meat and great condiments. The beer was solid, from the IPA's to the hazy options. As full as the brewery was the noise was not overwhelming. I would recommend a stop. read more
