This place has amazing food!! I work at a wing place and let me tell you, the quality of the chicken and the sauces are out of this world. The restaurant itself is well decorated and has a great vibe to it, food is just a HUGE bonus! Everyone who wrote a negative comment about this place is tasteless, angry at the world or both, end of story. Stop commenting about how dry a burger is when you order it well done with no Mayo or sauce of any kind. This place is amazing and so is the management. Thanks for the new go to spot for us! read more

Decent food but wish they had a better beer selection. For being a beer spot, their draft selection could use some work. I prefer more local brews or even brews from San Diego but they typically don't have that. read more

Delicious food. The service staff was not overly friendly but it was attentive and smart. We will be coming back here again. So good!

I got the Nachos and they were AMAZING. I loved the cheese sauce and all the toppings. I definitely want to come back here. My parents also loved their meals as well. Also a very chill vibe which i appreciated. read more

This has become one of my favorite local spots, for many reasons. As a person who likes good service, good food prepared promptly and properly, sports, and of course an occasional beer, this place has all of that, and more! Don't let the outside fool you - inside the restaurant is very spacious with numerous seating options, including a lengthy bar, plenty of high-top tables on the bar side, as well as numerous dining tables on the other side. But regardless of where you choose to sit, there are a plethora of big screen TV's to allow you to enjoy your favorite game while you dine. needless to say, with a name like "The Draft", the beer selection on tap will most assuredly offer something that will quinch your thirst. And when it comes to food, the menu is anything but basic pub fare. In addition to burgers and sandwiches, there is actually a good variety of food options, including healthy options for those who are diet conscious (like me). I especially like "The Fitz" as a healthy option - grilled chicken, rice, and steamed veggies - yum! So whether you are looking for a meal, a drink, a casual venue to watch live sports, or a combination of all if the above, I recommend you give "The Draft" a try. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, they also have an outdoor patio on the side of the building for those who prefer to sit outside. Enjoy! read more

Best bar food I've ever had!! waitress was amazing and brought samples of beer before we ordered. plus good cocktails

It's too bad because this place could be great. The food was pretty good and they had good specials for a Sat night. The only negative was the staff. It started as soon as we walked in. No one greeted us so we could get a seat. We went to a high top at first and grabbed some menus from an empty table next to us to look at the food/drinks. We then noticed that there was a good amount of TV's at the bar so we went to sit there instead. The bartender actually asked for the menus back to put them at the table that we were sitting at to only give us the same menus from behind the bar and looked put off that he had to do it. We then made an order for drinks, I ordered a domestic beer and was asked if I want a 16 or 22 oz beer. I asked for a 16 oz, come to find out that after I got the beer that they have a special on 22 oz that was not mentioned. The second one I ordered was the 22 oz and told the bartender that I did not know they were on special. He stated that yes they are on special all day...thanks for letting me know buddy... Overall the staff especially the bar staff are very cold there as I have seen in other reviews. It is too bad that if you are not in their "click" they are not very friendly. Being friendly is how you get regular customers. I was looking for a new regular sports bar to go to...clearly I still need to look as I will not be going back here. read more

Justin, This was my first time attending your establishment. My friend, who frequents quite often with other friends didnt know you couldn't buy a beer for someone. And then another question, why were we put on the same tab? He ordered 2 beers, me, nothing. Because of said cant buy beer for another patron? Need to have the bartenders let patrons know you cant buy beers for patrons. And put up signs. Signs remove all legal stuff. Well wishes. read more

I used to live in Mesa & we would go here on a weekly basis. When I moved to west Phoenix we still made it a point to visit here often. Every time we would have people visit us from out of state we would also take them here! I no longer live in arizona however, I do visit often and each time I come here to eat. Anything you get on the menu is good, highly recommend this place!!! read more

I love this place! Really awesome food options (healthy & delicious, sports grub, and everything in between). Great happy hour and drink specials and good for games. They have nice big tvs, clear sound, and a big open airy bar. Highly recommend for sports, lunch, or just dinner out! read more

It's pretty much a mini beer and cheeseburgers . Service was outstanding and promptly waited on our table.

Talk about going to a friends house and enjoying the game being around good atmosphere looking at her face is always smiling never ever a situation never ever is anybody out of line ownership is awesome the team and cruise that walking out of that place every day I believe when I put that uniform on have some sense of pride as they should good people God loves good people read more

This has become my place for wings I order the grilled, flats, mango habanero. Well done. I take the blue cheese dip, which come with blue cheese crumbs on top. It's a perfect compliment. The side are typical celery and carrots. But they are always fresh. To wash down these delicious wings, I drank a barro blonde. It was very good. They have a huge selection on beers, which they have displayed on a neon sign. It's a sports friendly bar with large TVs all around the bar. But the center piece is the massive TVs behind the bar. This place is professional, extremely clean and very comfortable. They have a large seated patio, also surrounded by TVs. During comfortable weather, there are garage doors separating the bar/patio. Th at could extended and combine the two. It's highly recommended. Our sever Cody was attentive and prompt! It's definitely worth your effort to locate this tucked away bar. read more

Chill place. Nice servers. Classic Sports bar vibe. Farmhouse salad will have you rolling over with ecstasy. Nbd.

This is one of my favorite places for craft brews and good American style food. They serve your typical bar stuff, but their entrees are pretty delicious and priced affordably. My experience with the servers has always been great and if you need recommendations, they know their stuff. Definitely will be back! read more

I will be 100% honest and I have only been here for lunch with clients and most of the time we sit at the bar because they have every sporting event available and 10-12 TV's. The food is much better than normal bar food and the daytime bartender is amazing with her service. Try one of the burgers or the nachos- they feed 4 easily. I hear that it is a great crowd for MMA and Sunday football but have never been. read more

Nice, clean place but went for the burgers. Being from NY, we like rare. Ordered rare, got well done. Hubby sent it back and got the next one well done again.the mixed drinks are very lite on booze. Menu looks great but hubby said we won't be back.im not saying don't go but if your a rare burger person, this ain't the place . Also broccoli salad is mostly stems. Needs more florets and more sauce.they add shredded red cabbage. Entirely too much. read more

I'm not from Phx and we wanted to stop for some apps and drinks. Very cool little spot, great screens for all things sports! Beers were tall and cold .... oh and do yourself a favor, get the fried pickles but for yourself and not to share! I'd so go back just for those fried pickles. Thinly sliced and with like a light tempura batter! Also, the waiter was nice enough to bring me a side of steamed veggies food my toddler, which were not in the side dish menu! read more

Great place to watch the game on Sunday. They were packed with fans of a lot of different teams -- it wasn't dominated by Cardinals fans. The server was really friendly, the food was good. Though our group was spread across two tables (high-school-age daughters on one table, parents on the other), they got our checks right. Well done, Draft Sports Grill. read more

We love this place so much. The food is always amazing, definitely not your average bar food and they're always adding new items to their menu. Great happy hour as well. We bring friends here all the time and would recommend this place to anyone! read more

I called in an order to go. The gentleman I spoke to was super friendly. I ordered their blue cheese burger with french fries and I also ordered the Draft House burger with sweet potato fries. I requested the Cajun seasoning on the soup to the Fry's and also on the Draft House Burger. When I got home I was disappointed to find out that there was no Cajun seasoning on anything I ordered. Still giving free stars though because the burger is really good taste amazing even without the seasoning. read more

Been here several times, tonight will be the last. Food is pretty good, but the service is terrible. Tonight, I sat at the bar for 10 minutes while both bartenders walked back and forth never offering to get me a drink or menu. It was about 3:00 pm and the place was not busy. When I finally got the attention of one of them, there was no apology, no basic customer service just attitude. I decided to leave and spend my money at a place that values their customers. read more

Stopped by to watch the BCS game. Friendly staff, was a bit busy. (To be expected, there's about 20 huge TV's.) ordered a couple beers, ice cold. There's nothing better then a cold beer while watching football. We stated with the Korean lettuce wraps, super delicious. The sauce was spicy with a kick of good flavor. I ordered the Cajun blue burger. It was cooked perfectly, fries were delicious. The jalapeño ranch is house made and has great flavor. Over all, a great place for happy hour, grab a few beers and watch sports. Highly recommend if you're in to the Sunday NFL kind of thing. read more

What a pleasant surprise this gem of a restaurant was to find. My son recommended I meet him there for lunch. The food is top notch. The service was great and the place was very clean and the green theme is really cool! read more

As a general manager of a restaurant, i can confidently say this was the worst service i have ever had. Tiffany, our waitress, was very rude. Slammed drinks on our table, slammed plates down, didn't once check on us. We heard her checking on the table less than half a foot behind us. My friend asked for her burger cooked well done, and when it came out very pink, she politely sent it back to be recooked. and our server was extremely rude about the whole situation. We saw another girl serving tables around us, and she was very sweet and polite to all of her customers. I am generally very forgiving when it comes to servers in the restaurant industry. However, my experience here was absolutely horrible. The entire night me and my friends were talking about how mean our server was. I wish i could say we would be back. Tiffany made us feel like a burden at this restaurant. Never smiled at us, checked on us, asked for refills on our drinks, or checked on our food. I'm not sure if it's because we're young and she saw a table of mid 20 year olds and assumed we would be bad tippers? Honestly the worst dining experience i have ever had. read more

Gave the Draft another shot, had pretty much the same experience. The wings are good and the beer is cold. The service was indifferent at best in spite of sitting right up at the bar. Would have stayed longer but my glass was empty for 10 minutes so I opted to go. I really want to like this place because the area lacks good pubs, but the three chain places within 2 miles just have a better experience. read more

Went to the Draft with my daughter's family to meet up with their good friends for lunch. On the way I was dreading the 'bar' food but was extremely surprised at the fantastic menu and variety of choices. The food was well prepared, tasteful and fresh. The beer bread/wrap on my angry french dip was incredible, best french dip I've ever had. When in Mesa AZ this is a must stop for deliciousness. read more

The wings were good My burger was amazing However the drinks were incredibly light I don't want to sound like that guy but if I'm paying 40+ dollars I want to be at least a tad bit buzzed .. read more

Update: Two more sub-par experiences, especially with the food. Chicken tenders are greasy and flavorless and small portion. Couldn't even stomach to eat all of the 5 small strips. Chicken wings don't have nearly enough sauce. Everything is overpriced. What a disappointment. Update 4/17/15: Still very mediocre and pricey food. Happy hour is only $1 off. At this rate they're not gonna make it. They now have Shuffleboard and weekly team trivia is starting soon (wish they had NTN Trivia though). I still think the main issue is PRICING and FOOD...Hope they can add some more reasonable food and drink options. read more

Ok, well I started out loving this place and now kind of consider it middle of the road. Food is okay, beer prices are ridiculous. Wait staff is nice, bartender is good, but it's missing something. I frequent a few bars in the area and this is the one that just isn't making the cut. They were great when they first opened because it was nice to just have something new around, but the more I've been there the less I like it. Basically it's ok, but we can do better. BTW it's not Boulders across the street "food poisoning". We have several breweries that charge less for better beer, and food in the area. If you want sports the Draft might be your place, but this guy will be watching somewhere else. read more

I feaking love this place! So we have been here 4 times now, and i swear its always happy hour! Today, Wednesday is happy hour all day, on Thursdays its 241 drinks all day. I have no idea why there arent more people here! This place is cute as can be, for a sports bar. . And the patio allows smoking, which is good for me .. Ther are literally 20 tvs here.. Ps ive had burgers, tacos, mac and cheese, all good. And my service has been on point each visit. Check it out peeps!! read more

I can see the great reviews. Service was great, and friendly. Went on a Monday night football night, and being a former Buffalo Wild Wings there were plenty of screens to view the game on. Had the wings which were well prepared, and hit the spot. Love the fact you can add a dry rub to the fries. Telling you the dill dry run, and fries are the bomb. Will definitely look to return. read more

Random stop as I was looking for a change of scenery. The TV setup might be the best ever for a sports bar and this place will be packed for football season I would assume. On the night I went, it was just a few old men at the bar, but the bartender was nice and just enjoyed the baseball game while sipping on some cheap happy hour drafts. Did not try the food which based on reviews and food coming out of kitchen may have been a good choice. As I was sitting in the front talking on phone also noticed a large army of ants were actually in the place right in that front area, so I was not eating food that night no matter what was on the menu. Anyway, looks like this place could host me for a week or two during the fall, but the smallish bar area might be the downfall when it gets packed. read more

The Draft Sports Grill - Nice setup - Sports Bars Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The service was slow, the whole seat your self concept makes the service even slower. Took the waitress 10mins to finally ask if I wanted anything to drink. Food wasn't even worth the wait. Was there an entire hour, while I watched a group of ppl walk in, served right away, ate, paid in 30mins. Seriously, just because I'm one person doesn't mean you won't get a bigger tip from me vs a group of people. Don't waste your time.... read more

Tonight was their last night before moving locations so maybe that had something to do with it, but had the absolute worst service tonight. Server came and brought some waters I tried to order a beer and he cut me off to go serve other patrons. Waited 10 minutes and decided to walk out and go order wings at a place that actually wants my business. Definitely won't be returning to check out the new location. read more

Been driving by this place for over a year now and finally found the time to go. Very friendly and lively atmosphere. Good food and nice large selection of drinks (both on draft and in the bottle). Very friendly staff and lots of tv's. Will definitely be back. read more

Great food but the manager and guy bartender are two big douches. I went there 5 times in two weeks bc of the food but I won't go there again bc these guys are always there. (The woman bartenders and waitresses couldn't be nicer.) The food is great but then I saw the cook hanging out eating and drinking after work and I decided I'm not into this dude cooking my food. (Sorry, I was a chef in NYC for a long time and sanitation is important and this guy didn't look like practiced any.) I just moved here and I was looking for a local spot. Too bad. read more

Dear Draft owner and management bring back the ORIGINAL honey hot wings I have no where else to go since you changed your recipe

Great place! Everything we had was really fresh! Very clean and nice inside! I would highly recommend the Draft to everyone. The most TV's I have ever seen in a sports bar! This is a must for you and your family! We will be going back real soon. Thanks for the great service and food! read more

Came here for lunch with some family today and without a doubt in my mind will be back later this week. Amazing specials every day and their food is far from your typical bar food. Had a quick convo with the owners and found out they are just as great as their bar. DEFINITELY GIVE IT A TRY!!! read more
