Nestled in Allston/Brighton, this restaurant presents a mixed bag of experiences. While the lively atmosphere and well-crafted drinks charm some patrons, others cite concerns over cleanliness, with reports of unpleasant odors and unsatisfactory food quality. Disappointing service, highlighted by a lack of attention from bartenders, and issues of racial profiling have tarnished its reputation for many. However, the establishment boasts a vibrant crowd, enticing specials, and solid menu offerings. With a little more attention to hygiene and customer service, it holds the potential to elevate its standing from a mere dive bar to a beloved local spot.

What Kevin dislikes about Draft:
I felt that I didn't belong in this restaurant, as there were no Asian patrons during my visit on Saturday night. While that doesn't bother me, I was disappointed when both bartenders overlooked my requests for a drink. They prioritized serving five other customers who approached the bar while I waited for 20 minutes with my hand raised. This experience left a negative impression on me, and I won’t be returning.

I returned to this restaurant during phase 2 and was impressed by their beautiful patio, which is one of the few (if not the only one) in the Allston area.
The restaurant gives off a welcoming vibe with the friendly door guy wearing a mask, but don't be fooled.

Referring to other reviews, I can confirm that the interior has a distinct odor reminiscent of a restroom. This place definitely falls under the category of a dive bar, featuring a rough men’s restroom and a dim, musty atmosphere. While I’m not certain if this is strictly a cleanliness issue, it seems there are definitely shortcomings, whether it’s using dirty rags to clean surfaces, neglecting to clean the drink wells, or serving stale beer. I don’t have experience running a bar, but if this establishment were just 20% cleaner, it could easily earn a 4-star rating. I wish the owner the best; I’m sure this place has had its moments of success in Allston/Brighton.
Hit Boston Hemp Inc. Dispensary grabbed some fire bud and edibles then went here for a nightcap. Place was solid, didn't get any good but drinks were great for my buzz. Would go back. Great crowd
