The crowd here is very rowdy; fowl language and fights are not uncommon so I would not recommend bringing your kids here. The place has established itself as a "Raider bar" and has lights and sirens every time raiders score so if you are wearing another team jersey be prepared to fend for yourself because the owners will not attempt to control their rowdy customers. In addition, do not expect customer service. The owners will literally kick you out if they are unhappy with your business which is subject to their own discretion.
Review Source:I went to Draft Picks during a Raider / Cheifs game sitting at a booth next to one of the owners ! Every time the Raiders would score , he would blow this loud horn knowing that I had a three month old baby with me ! Every time he would blow this horn the baby would cry ! This place is not a good place to go if u have children ! I will never return to this place again :(
Review Source:Good place for guys to go and watch multiple games at the same time. Lots of projectors, lots of flat screens, lots of beer on tap. The pizza is decent, wings are traditional buffalo, and there usually isn't a wait to find a table/booth. Service can get slow during peak hours (especially during laker games). Lots of arcade games for the kids to play (Guitar Hero), air hockey tables, dart boards, pool tables. and a stage for the live performances.
The place is outdated and could use a remodel. Some of the screens could be better resolution, but everything works.
Specials throughout the week, I think some days are discounted alcohol, other days are discounted wings, etc.
Wow. Would love to review the food but I wasn't given the opportunity to try it. We walked in for a late lunch (2 pm) because I was craving pizza. The door was open and when we arrived two tables were occupied. When we had gone a few steps DH asked if I was sure they were open - the cashier was dark. Â Odd. Â One of the men at the tables looked up and said "do you need something?" in a snotty voice. Â Um, yeah, service? Â food? Â common courtesy?? Â Turns out they open at 4. Â No sign that says so. Â The door was open, lights on, people in there . . . my mistake. Â Jeeze. Â Rude people means I will not be back.
Review Source:Only because they dont offer a no star option do they get a one. Â
Dear Managment of DP's Pizza,
If you are going to contract with a company to sell gift certificates for your establishment dont collect the money and then not accept the certificates after you have gotten the money. Â Its shady and pretty much just weak. Â
I cant rate the food because i already paid you once and you wouldnt accept my certificate so i will be damn if I pay your ass again. Â When i asked why, you gave zero explaination and just pointed to a hand written note taped to the wall.
Tons of TV's, Â now i know how you were able to afford them all.
Thanks for the top notch service.
I absolutely love DP's, as it's more affectionately called by its loyal patrons! Â They have tons of tables, games for kids to play, and to top it off, over 30 screens. Â My husband and I frequent DP's for Lakers Games, UFC matches and of course, the more recent Pacquiao fights. Â This place does NOT have a full bar. THey are a PUB. It's mostly beer. Smirnoff Ice is served along with some other kind of fruity concoction, looking similar to a daquiri. Anyways, their pizza is tasty! I love it. They use huge slices of sausage, not rabbit pellet like looking sausage. Their ingredients are fresh. I Love their pull apart bread with a lil ranch and marinara sauce. My husband and his friends like the wings, although they are pretty spicy. Â The service . . . well, you order at the counter and your plates, pizza and whatever else you may have ordered, it's brought to your table. The guy who comes around to clear the tables as soon as trash starts up, he's awesome. He is a friendly guy who loves a good laugh. Talk to him. He's not a hobbit of a busser or anything. I think people just give them their used plates and napkins and that's it. We've even tipped him. He's a nice guy, makin' his living and doin' what he must to do well at his job. The people who run this place are cool folks. We love coming here. We feel comfortable and actually love coming here, even if the drive is something like 45 miles from home?!?! Â I know that other people have come here and have been disappointed because they don't have a full bar and things, but really, it says PUB on the outside. And yes, tables are often reserved. Their combo deals are the best, with pizza, pull apart bread, wings, or other sides. Despite other people's experiences, ours have always been awesome. THANKS, DP, for always havin' my Lakers game on for me!!
Review Source:Went on a Sunday Night to watch a Lakers Game,
First of all, I checked yelp to see if this place had a full bar. Yelp said it did, WRONG!!. They only serve 3 or so cocktails. This is not a full bar. Anyways, the pizza is decent. On the plus side they had a ton of beer on tap. The nice thing is they have a ton of TVs so you can pretty much watch the game from any seat.
My only issue was when we got here, a group of drunk women had a mic and kept yelling stuff while we were trying to watch the game. Never give a mic to a drunk women.
The pizza is whatever. The tv's are cool but overall this place attracts the same ghetto crowd as the billards place that was here before DP's Pizza. Its ghetto, bunch of teeny boppers thinking this is the place to be, & the bartenders....not very classy. Â I don't like that they don't play ufc or boxing fights just whatever u can watch at home....But hey its the place to be when u wanna "kick it w the homies"
Review Source:I've been in a couple, but out of the ones that i have been inside; This is the coolest Sports Bar i have ever been inside!
first, upon walking in, you notice that it is HUGE, no idea how many sq. ft...but compare it to a large warehouse.
second, the main wall of the building is covered huge 3-4 projected big screens, and a large number of large LCD screens (all showing the World Cup the day i went inside)
third, it is boasted on every take away menu that they have over 100 beers on tap, and i counted them....it's 105! and most of them are mediocre to great beers. the pitchers of beer are only $8 if it's domestic (which is a great price in my opinion)
forth, the pizza there is great as well! the other food is priced well, same as the pizza is. (buffalo wings are about $5 for an 8 piece.)
there is an arcade to keep the "young'n's " busy (though, the arcade machines are a bit too loud at times and make it difficult to watch whatever sports event is going on, but it's not too bad.)
There is also three Pool Tables at a few dart boards in the back for non-game time entertainment.
i highly recommend coming here for the pizza, the beer, to watch a game or anything else i mentioned before.
Food is decent enough. Â the small calzone was gigantic. Â But it is a pizza and beer joint. Â The selection of beers is great and I'm an avid beer drinker. Â They will have quite a few Stone brews, some Bear Republic stuff, Â Moose Drool, Paulaner Selection, and others. Â many others. Â The atomosphere just blows. Â I can't figure out why they have this place packed wall to wall with teams and that selection of beer. Â Really weird. Â This place is far from cozy. Â If you are looking for a low end pizza joint to watch a game and have a great selection of beers, come here. Â and I do.
Review Source:Been here three times all for laker playoff games. Couldn't sit anywhere it's was so slammmed. So it was annoying but fun. Decent pizza mediocre salads and lots of tap beers. Finally after x yrs they have a sign. Use caution driving out of here it's heavily patrolled FYI Â in other words bring a DD. Lol
Review Source:Changed ownership and it shows! Good food, great atmosphere, and well kept. There are tons of TVs and I can always catch my Packers games on Sundays thanks to their extended channel packages. Lots of beers on tap. Lots of food choices. Games, pool, comfy booths. Not many complaints, if any. I think it will only get better as the new owner gets more comfortable.
Review Source:This place is retarded. Me and a buddy came here hoping to watch the Laker game on Saturday. Place wasn't packed at all with at least 15 tables open. All of them have reserved signs though so I asked the manager if there were any open booths. he proceeded to tell me that the tables weren't actually reserved but instead you had to have a party of at least 4 people to sit down. I told him "look, no ones here, we're paying customers" and he said there wasn't anything he could do.
I find that pretty stupid. At least I know I won't ever be coming back here again.
Bigger than one might think. Â TVs all over the walls. Â Why they try to attempt to make it a family place considering it is a bar is at first a mystery. Â But once you see the patrons you realize that these are the people who would bring their kids to a bar. Â Security is present and there is a reason for security. Â The booths or seating set up is kind of awkward. Â It is all booth seating. Â So two people would be looking at one wall and the other two would be looking at the opposite wall. Â If you have more than four friends then you're party is separated by booths. Â They have a large pizza kitchen but the food sucks. Â Remember you are in La Habra. Â The people of La Habra/Whittier think Pizza Mania is great pizza! Â So you know the pizza is going to suck. Â Just typical bad bar food. Â Takes forever to get a pitcher of beer because of one bartender. Â If you like hanging out with Raider Nation and,generally speaking, people with lower standards and class then this is the place for you.
Review Source:If it wasn't for my friend's Birthday party I wouldn't even know this place existed. It's located in a dead shopping strip, only reason you would go there is for Petco or Tommy's. The place doesn't have a real sign up, it's a banner hung up inside the restaurant. We walk up and a huge security guy is standing in the front, I started to pull out my ID but he just waived us in. We find our group and sit down for a glass of beer. The place is really big, they have like 15-20 flat screen TV's showing every kind of sport you can think of. In the front you have arcade games & air hockey, you walk towards the back and you have dart boards & pool tables. They have a ton of beer on tap, but no Rolling Rock? Oh well, I got Moosehead instead and it tastes pretty similiar, a great recommendation from the lady bartender. We order a pizza & fried zuchinni. The fried zuchinni was a bit undercooked, the inside was still bitey, should have been softer, but the batter was good. My friend bit into one and hot oil sprayed all over her, needless to say she didn't like it so much. The pizza was OK, it was a little greasy for my taste, but the sausage was delicious. The meal was pretty affordable, but the alcohol was pricey. A glass of beer was $5.50, oh and they were selling jello shots for a buck each. That's a first, I think this place wants to be a club. The clientele is mixed, you get the little league kids running around in their baseball uniforms, the "rough" crowd was also in attendance, the place was just really loud. All the TV's blaring, the kids running & screaming, towards the end of the night they had a blues band playing in the back. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon, it's just not our kind of place.
Review Source:Hmmm... I'm not sure what happened with some of the other reviewers. I have been here, probably a dozen times so far, and I have NEVER had a bad experience. I take my brother there for the lunch buffet, which isn't the nicest buffet we've been to, but for 6 bucks all you can eat pizza, pasta, salad, and appetizers is pretty nice!
We went to Drafts last night for dinner and pool, true the crowd can be a bit "rough"... I guess... but everyone is nice, pretty cool, and low-key. The service has always been great, the pizza is pretty darn good, and the pool/dart area is never too crowded.
If you go during the lunch hour, there might be 20 people- if your lucky. But, at dinner time this place is booming! There is always enough seating and there are big-screen TVs on every side of the dinning room so you can watch a game wherever your sitting! The place is HUGE... I was a little skeptical at first, because it looks small and run down on the outside... it's in a strip mall for goodness sakes... next to a 99 cent store! But, the dinning room is HUGE, the bar is stocked... I don't drink and even I was impressed with the amount of choices!
Drafts is one of those places that is just fun... Why would you go to a pizza place/ bar for gourmet food and excellent service. Its a pizza place! As long as you go in with the mindset that it's not a 5-star restaurant, you'll be fine :-)
Wow this place is uh...interesting. Â My family and I got there around 4pm and they had a bouncer at the door checking IDs...really people? Â I know you serve beer, but it's 4pm on a Sunday, you have an arcade and you are a restaurant. Â Whatever...
The good: Â
Tons of seating, this place is seriously way bigger than you would expect. Â
More flatscreens than you see on the display floor at Best Buy.
Four or five pool tables, darts, air hockey, kids arcade.
Lots of beers on tap, good beer too. Â They had all my Stone favorites, but were out of Arrogant Bastard and IPA, so I had to settle for Levitation. Â They even had Moose Drool, which I have only seen at two other random places (in SD). Â
The Bad:
Crazy security practices. Â Do you really need 5 bouncers on a Sunday afternoon? Â And in order to get a cue ball and pool sticks you have to check them out at the bar and leave an ID - Lame.
Instead of using regular plates and cups (unless you get a beer) they use all Styrofoam. Â Bad for the environment and drinking water out of Styrofoam is gross.
The ugly:
Not to be mean, but most of the patrons are pretty rough around the edges. Â And not in a dive bar kind of way, more like a prison kind of way. Â And then there was the couple groping each other at their table in between visits from who appeared to be the head chef/ cook. Â Classy.
On our way out, a brawl in the parking lot was breaking out. Â Oh, La Habra...
I really like this place! there is a LOT of beer on tap, and they have like a billion tv's! okay, not a billion. but they have a HUGE wall lined with flat screen tv's, big giant screen and small ones too.
the other wall, over the bar, has 3 giant screens lined up and smaller ones too.
the girls behind the bar were cool, and you should see how much beer they have on tap. i wasn't very adventurous, i just stuck with my usual Sierra Nevada. But they have a lot of beer to choose from.
The pizza was good. we also tried the wings, those were okay. my friend was raving about these oily looking potato slices, she said they were really good.
the only thing was we had a group of about 20, adults and kids, and we had to sit in separate booths next to each other. i didn't really notice if they had tables and chairs to move together if you have a big group. that's where they were sitting when i got there.
They have dartboards and pool tables in the back. i kept noticing people walking in with their own pool sticks in these little back packy things. so i'm guessing they might be serious about the game.
in the front they had some games the kids were playing with, but not like arcade games, more like air hockey and some other stuff to keep them occupied! they must have liked it, they kept going to the quarter machine. i thought it was located in a bad area, right near the bar! they should have it near the game area, not near the drunkies by the bar! LOL.
it was also a REALLY hot day/night. and we could barely feel the a/c! i can understand, because of the pizza ovens, but maybe they need fans or something.
overall, i'd come back, for sure.
oh and there's no sign out front yet, it's in that big plaza with Tommy's Burgers.
