  Good selection of beer, food is consistent and good. Try the feisty fetta hummus, certainly one of the things that make this a "better" mom and pop draft house/road house style restaurant. The atmosphere's what you'd expect from the name and service is normally pretty good.

  The food is good, great fries if you ask for them extra crispy.  I honestly don't think you can beat the prices.  I ordered their half rack of ribs and a chicken breast with fries and a side salad for 15 dollars.  My dinner companion had a great half a pound hamburger for something like 6.75.   We both took home leftovers!
  
  The menu is small, but there is a lot of different flavors represented.  There seems to be a great beer selection.
  
  The wait staff is present without hovering.  There were a lot of families around, in spite of it being a bar, so it's friendly for all types.   It was loud, but it's a bar!  You have to expect that.  The atmosphere was great, it was a bar without all the tacky fake crap tacked up on the walls.

  Good beer, a little on the pricey side, and darn tasty tacos on Tuesday.  The burgers aren't bad either.  I would pick this place over Rellies any day but we have a group of friends that won't part with their Thirsty Thursday tradition there.
  
  If you do head in for taco Tuesday, give the fish taco a try.  Yum!

  This place just makes you want to drink beer and eat onion rings.  The food is pretty good--a huge helping of your standard pub food.  Mostly they get four stars for the onion rings.

  I got a lot of love for the Draft House even though we were recently there on an off day. First off, I remember this place being so smoky back in the day that I cannot tell you how overjoyed I was to see the non-smoking sign on the door. Way to go, Draft House!
  
  Dark with lots of wood, it has an older feel. The best part of the food we ordered were the fried pickles. I could have made much better tacos then the ones I got. Two sandwiches in our group came without any type of mayo or sauce on them and one was a BLT--what? Service was slow for lunch on a Saturday.  
  
  Don't worry, Draft House, I still love you and I will be back for dinner and some brews.

  Definitely one of the best American style bar/grilles in the area. The draft house is a green restaurant, in that they only serve sustainable fish, though they don't necessarily flaunt it. They are the only mid-Michigan restaurant certified by the Green Restaurant Association though, which is admirable.
  
  But to be honest, it's not really the kind of hippy-dippy place you'd expect of a "green-certified restaurant." No, this really is the kind of place you go with friends to have a beer and meal, and enjoy yourself a bit. They have plenty of good beer on tap, including Stella Artois, which always brings me in.
  
  Their fish entres are tasty and well prepared, the honey-glazed Salmon especially impressed me with its sweet nutty taste and flaky texture, and at  $10, seemed a steal. My wife liked her pan-fried Walleye - crispy but not greasy - and they even have Bluegill, which is a sort of Michigan soul food.
  
  We had to save room for the apple skillet pie, served warm with vanilla ice cream of course. It was good, but I'm not that big on overly sweet desserts.
  
  We'll be back. It was a short wait on a Friday night, but well worth checking out.
