    This is such a fun visit in the city! There are at least a dozen beers to try, and if you are not a drinker, they have the best root beer I've ever had. Very reasonable prices and I love that they have games on site for you and friends to play while you drink. There's plenty of seating, both large and small tables, and they do lots of events throughout the year! Definitely a must see in the city

    A nice variety of beer, wine, cider & seltzer. Despite having so many, I guess I wish they may have had more I liked? I think their taps should be arranged a little better- with the styles near each other and makes easier. I might be thinking incorrectly but I feel like Alley Tap Room has theirs organized by style. (Again maybe not) Plenty of seating, water for drinking. I liked that they walk you through how it works. FRESH POPCORN. that was huge. A fun spot overall, and if you're into trying multiple styles before you settle on a drink, this is your spot in Augusta.

    Just the beginning.

    Though such a place exists in nearby Aiken (SC), downtown Augusta has been void of a self-serve taproom. Until now. Draft Society Taproom is my new favorite superhero, saving me from purchasing entire pints of beers I find digesting. Here, you pay by the ounce. And what might you paying for? Well let me tell you. Ciders, kombucha, wine, domestic beers, and a wide range of beers (IPA's to brown ale's to porters). You step off of Broad Street and into another world. Cornhole inside, electronic dart boards, and a modern jukebox (for those of us old enough to remember those). And the process is simple; step up to the counter, they swipe your card and return it (just like starting a tab at the bar), give you a wristband, and you're off! You hold the wristband up to the logo at any of the taps, the light blinks, and you're ready to pour. The price per ounce and ABV and under the description. I will mention that once you hit a cumulative of 32 ounces it will cut off. That's just a precaution so you return to the counter and either get another 32, or someone calls you a ride home. My first visit I did a wide assortment; IPA's, ale's, and porter's. I will say the descriptions are on point. I took the time to walk around and found the space to be longer than one might expect from the outside. It has already been added to my list of favorite bars and I know there will be regular visits to see what's new on tap. With the hours being Monday through Wednesday/12-10 pm and Thursday through Saturday/12 pm-12 am it looks like I have plenty of time to do so. Be sure to stop in soon and try it for yourself!

    One time we came to Draft Society for my friend's 25th birthday. He has Type 1 Diabetes and his blood sugar got scary low while we were here... even though they didn't sell food at that time, the employees went back into the kitchen and made my friend a sandwich. Needless to say, the service is great and we love coming here. It's one of my favorite places in Augusta to go on a date or with a group of friends! They have a great self- pour style beer selection including local breweries, as well as ciders, seltzers, and wines. There are plenty of games and seating available. We love to play any of the card/ board games they have, as well as the jukebox, shuffle board, and lots of newer arcade games! Very dog friendly. Free popcorn. Live music. What else can I say.

    This place is amazing. My husband and I found this place on accident, and we're so glad we did. This has been such a fun place to meet up with friends and family to have a drink. Their selection is always interesting and fun. I wish their music was a little quieter but other than that it's a perfect little bar.

    Really cozy relax spot. Nice place to try drinks only wish they had food. Even if it's pretzels or nuts to munch on while drinking.

    I've had the pleasure of drinking and hanging out at Savannah River Brewing several times and have…read morethoroughly enjoyed myself each time. Physically, it's a great space to relax and drink in. The beer is high quality and the prices are reasonable. I was pleasantly surprised at how little it cost to fill up my growlers. My only real complaint, is that if you're dropping by on Sunday morning, be ready to wait in line as they host a run club. I dropped by one Sunday morning to get some growlers filled and was blown away at how busy it was. And this is a good thing. I want my local brewery to be well supported. But they really could have used another bar tender. Maybe someone called out, I don't know. But they seemed woefully understaffed especially if they knew they were going to be busy. That being said, it is far from a deal breaker. I will simply adjust when I swing by to fill my growlers. It is absolutely worth your time to stop by and have a pint or two.

My husband and I both had the Cuban chicken sandwich and it was massive! A little too much sauce and I'm a sauce, girl... Nonetheless, it was delicious! We each could only eat half, that's how big that sandwich is! Beer is always awesome, I love that they switch out from time to time with new flavors. Great service and plenty of seating. Nice laid-back place. You can't go wrong here by any means!

Finally after 3 attempts every year, we made it in and regret not checking them out before. Such a small place but so much to offer. Looks like this used to be a gas station and they turned it into a tap room. They sell crowlers/growlers to go (a great selection to choose from), bottle/can top of the line craft beers from local breweries, you can mix and match your six pack, and have barrel aged beers. My Mr and I wanted to purchase beers that we can't get from Cincinnati. Especially local beers. We definitely stocked up! Here's what we got: Pontoon Brewing Steel Hands Brewing Ingenious Brewing Jekyll Brewing Edmund's Coast Brewing Schoolhouse Brewing Wild Leap Craft Beer Trimtab Beach Club Brewing Southern Brewing Lazy Magnolia Brewing Anderby Brewing Scott was working at the time and was really helpful. He even let us sample some beers. I tried mostly Wicked Weed Stouts. Hungry? They have a local BBQ Truck next to their building. If you LOVE craft beers, this is the place to go! My mom even purchased a barrel aged stout beer because she liked the coffee taste! Go mom!

The lady bartender was extremely nice, friendly and personable. She let us sample a couple of the beers before committing to a full glass. They even have corn hole out on the patio. Definitely a place we would go again to hang out. In fact, I will probably stop back in there today while I'm at the festival.
