The Draft Bar and Grill

There is nothing special about this place other than the size. It is pretty big, and a good place for beer pong events. BUT the food is "eh" at best, the beer selection is limited to cheap domestic and the typical imports, and the place is just plane filthy. If you look up Divey sports bar on google The Draft is the first thing to come up.

I like this place. The food is a little too expensive for what it is, but their drink prices are all right. 1st time I went they were doing a Laker game special with 2 for 1 drinks so you know you can't go wrong with that. Last time I went I was more about the food than drinking, but still got a pitcher of Bud for $13 if I'm not mistaken. I had a Philly Cheese Steak which actually didn't disappoint and it came with a large side of fries. I"ll be back. Hopefully during happy hour and see what else they have to offer.

OK. I have to write a review of this bar because the service was so bad.   See my full review and know that I have NOTHING against the bar, servers, owners, or anyone.   This was my first and only visit to this establishment while I was in LA;

ALSO NOTE:  The pictures I added show the girl bartender texting (multiple times) while I (and many others) waited to get a drink or our check.  She had her back turned on a full bar of patrons much of the night.  Multiple times I saw her lazily take and enter orders on the computer (we're talking about a snails pace!!).   It was amazing to witness and experience her complete disinterest in serving a full house during a packed UFC 162 event.  She should have been "ringing the till" and "raking in the cash".   The bar would clearly do better financially with a fast and attentive bartender!!!

The Good:  The bar owners bought UFC 162 and allowed everyone in with no cover charge.  The get SUPER PROPS for that effort.  The bar itself is a good bar.  We had fun (when we had a drink).  Like other reviews state, this looks like a good place for a drink with multiple flat screen TVs and two big screens.  You can see the fight  (or any event) from anywhere in the bar.   They also have a patio outside that was packed and looked like a lot of fun.

The BAD:   I couldn't get any drinks!!!  It took 10-15 minutes upon arriving just to get the bartenders attention (my girlfriend almost left).  The service was AWFUL!!   Again, I was there for UFC 162 (when Silva lost to Weidman...for you fans).  The girl bartender couldn't have cared less that she had a PACKED FULL bar of thirsty patrons.   The guy bar back only appeared once all night to help (at least he made a stronger cocktail).   I was able to get only 2 drinks in 2-3 hours!!!  It was just terrible attention and service but we couldn't leave in time to get to another bar.  Yes, it was busy but that didn't matter in this case.  The girl bartender just didn't care.  She should have been pouring liquid cash for the owners with so many people at the bar.  Instead, again, I saw her texting multiple times with her back to the bar.  Clearly someone else was more important than a bar full of customers.

I would give the bar owners 3 stars just for buying the fight.   However, it was really a 1 star effort due to the absurd service.   The bar owners should have a chat with their staff.  

I wouldn't recommend visiting the bar unless you are a regular and know what you are getting (and are OK with it).
