Rebel Draft House

Reviews & Tips

  Lots of taps, but full of shity beer.  Half of the 64 taps are brewed by the big three. And if I hear one more country song I'm going to die of throat cancer.  It has so much potential; lots of room, nice patio, best sound system on north gate.   I guess this is what happens when your main clientele is college frats.

  While in town visiting my brother, we decided to go bar-hopping on Thanksgiving night. He took me to a few of his favorite haunts, but, as you could assume, most places were pretty dead that evening and I wasn't feeling the concepts much anyway. We passed by Rebel, and there was a small handful of people chilling on a cozy-looking wrap-around patio. It looked like my kind of place, so I figured it was worth a stop.
  
  I'm glad we did - I don't think I've ever gotten such a good deal on beer on a Thursday night. Since it was Thanksgiving, they had extended their happy hour to close, offering a decent bottled and draft beer selection, all at half-off.
  
  I'm not huge on Texas country, which is what they had playing in the background, but since the music wasn't too loud or overpowering I didn't mind at all. It's definitely better than the annoying, overplayed pop/Top 40 hits or obnoxiously blatant redneck country music you find at most other bars.
  
  The staff was also great; they were all incredibly friendly and genuine. To me, that's one of the things that really provides the foundation for a great bar and makes me, personally, more inclined to return. A couple of the staff members even remembered me when I dropped by with a friend the next evening.
  
  As I said, I went on a really chill night that may not be representative of how Rebel is normally, so I can't really say much else in regard to the atmosphere. It's definitely a place I will visit again the next time I'm in town, though, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to grab some drinks while they watch a game or hang out.

  Not sure about nights, but before the sun sets this is the best bar in Northgate. The bartenders know what they're doing, they have a very nice beer selection and the happy hour is amazing! If you're only out to get plastered I'm sure some other bars will do you fine, but if you want to have a good drink and a nice time go to Rebels.

  Best sound system on Northgate.  Fairly large, friendly staff, great place to watch a game.   Most recent bars located here were "Luckie's Ice House", before that was "The Drink", before that, don't remember.  Musical chairs with opening and closing, but always the same bad-ass stereo system.
