    TLDR: A MUST TRY, LOCAL GEM!! Almost hesitant posting how FREAKING amazing this place is, because the second people realize, it's going to be PACKED 24/7. 1000/10 every single time. Infinite delicious beer/cider choices and the food, THE FOOD. Everything is prepared to absolute perfection and they keep it fun with rotating menu items! I seriously can't say enough good things about the food, you HAVE to experience it for yourself to understand the magnitude of how amazing everything is! To tie the experience together, the atmosphere is perfection, outside seating at night, the lighting is adorable in a vintage backyard setting! Last but not least, the PRICES!!! Super affordable in general but INSANELY affordable when considering the quality of the drinks, food, atmosphere, and service! Random Tap is an absolute MUST try for anyone and everyone!! *this review is based on several visits, each time just as amazing as the last if not better!

    My husband and my two friends and I stopped here this past weekend after the ivy house flea market event and I'm so glad we did! They have a good selection of beer and even a few ciders. We got appetizers which were the truffle fries and the beer cheese pretzel! We also ordered food which was really good as well! They have an awesome outdoor area and they had live music!

    Casual atmosphere, friendly staff, and plenty of good beer. Just what NE Columbia needs. Keep up the great work.

The burger and fries were great, the beer was perfect, they were playing '90s rock, and Friends was on TV. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The second time, the place was pretty full on a Saturday, but the food and fries were just as delicious, and the beer was still perfect. I'll definitely be coming back regularly to this place!

Our group has 13 and fortunately we had 11 today, which probably was about the most they could've managed at that table. Waiter was great. Took our drink orders and burger orders. Had a variety of orders (Poncho, Classic, Tuesday's Special Ron Swanson's), with regular fries and sweet potato fries. Burgers were very good, everyone happy with the exception of one burger getting dropped on the floor, resulting in that person waiting for about 10 minutes to get a replacement. Meanwhile he chomped on some of his fries. Overall food was great. Only issue is with the loud music. Music is good music, just way to loud. Everytime we go here nobody can here each other talk across the table. (We always sit at the big corner table on the right as you walk in). Fries were okay....nothing special. Burgers are the thing. Wish they would offer some home fries along with the regular and sweet potato fries. Only complaint we have is the loud music. Just tone it down about 3db.

For…read morecontext, I had come here once before, and left somewhat unimpressed with the experience that I had. However, I decided to give Craft and Draft another shot, and I'm definitely glad that I did. Unbeknownst to me, they were holding "trivia night" on the night that I went, which drew a pretty large and lively crowd. While I think that the inside volume was turned up a little too high, it did serve to loosen everybody up, as I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the other patrons, who were all very kind and sociable. I also got to check out the back patio for the first time, which was fun, but not quite as notable as some of the other taproom patios that I've been to. In addition, despite the fact that they had heaters on the patio, they didn't seem to be emanating much heat, as it remained pretty cold outside. What I did like was the fact that there was a pizza truck outside, which was making wood-fired pizzas on the spot, and which looked great! (I didn't have one myself, but everybody I asked told me that they tasted great as well.) As for the beers... they were pretty solid! On draft, I got one of the Burial IPAs, which was 8% ACV, and tasted pretty good as well! My friend said that the beer that they got out of the refrigerator was good as well, and that they had a lot of beers that they had never seen or heard of before. As for me, I noticed that they had one canned beer that was 9.5% ACV, which I had never seen before either! The two (2) bartenders working that night were really cool, knew their beers, and definitely made me and my friend feel welcomed. All-in-all, Craft and Draft was a pretty fun taproom, which *might* be a little better in the warmer months versus the cooler ones. Despite this, I'd still recommend stopping by to grab some unique brews, and enjoy the lively but not overly hectic atmosphere.

    Great beer, great food truck, but even better people. It's always an upbeat and fun environment to…read morego and hang out whether it's during the week after work or over the weekend.

Every single part of it (I honestly think the marrow in the bones would even have flavor lol) is full of robust flavor and is juicy.

The owner/chef came out and introduced himself-so warm and kind. He is very active in the community which just makes it even better. Yall this place is a gem!!! Don't pass it by.

The atmosphere is very casual but I can see this place getting very loud. The waitress was attentive but not hovering. The owner came for a chat a couple times and was a real gent. The food however was a big... meh. I had the cod and while it was tasty was the size of a filet o fish. which was very disappointing. This was better than my wife's order of tri tip, which was much more like roast beef. We are both of the mind that sometimes mistakes can be opportunities so we just accepted it without complaint. It wasn't bad, but it was. Just ok. So overall, the experience was simply just that. Ok.... $50 of ok. I just don't make enough to have $50 ok experiences.

If you want a quick beer for a reasonable price, they'll sell you high quality from the tap out in the patio for $5 cash. It's a limited selection of six beers and ciders, but there's always something that'll surprise you at that price. Inside, it's a different story. There are sixteen taps of IPAs, sours, a stout or porter or two, local lagers, German offerings, and a rotating cast that will satisfy the beer nerd and beer newbie. It's still reasonable on the wallet, though. If nothing catches your fancy from a keg, turn around and behold the coolers full of goodness from around the country and world. IPAs of all varieties start on the right and roll into sours and ciders. Then, the lager and pilsners manifest on the shelves along with the European entrants in the cabaret. There is definitely a larger German and Dutch selection than there used to be and they are carrying Czech beers as well now. To the left, darkness abounds with stouts and roasted, malty libations. Peanuts are available year round now and they've added THC drinks and more NA options along kombucha and soft drinks. If you're not a beer drinker, there is a wall full of wines and the staff will point you to one that'll match what your craving. I asked for a recommendation that would go with take-out Chinese one night and was pointed to the perfect pairing. Hungry? The food trucks are lining up to get in here and there has been one every night lately with two some nights. On Saturday and Sunday, the mimosas start at 11 am and the food trucks serve brunch. It's a great way to start the day. If a a food truck doesn't show for some reason, check out one of the close-by kitchens and grab something to go and eat it at one of the dozens of picnic tables spaced around the place. There's plenty of space on the patio and in the Biergarten. Bring your friends but don't be a jerk. Keep your dogs and kids close by. This is a jewel you need to visit.
