Rooted Drifter
Description
A lively neighborhood bar in the Jefferson district blends spotless, modern interiors with warm, attentive service and a menu of standout wings, burgers and $2 Taco Night favorites. Multiple rooms with TVs make it ideal for sports, while outdoor seating with fireplaces, pool and dart boards, live bands and karaoke keep nights buzzing. Generous portions, an expansive craft-beer list and reasonable prices make it a local favorite for families by day and music-loving crowds after dark — though the Wi‑Fi can be hit-or-miss.

Great food. Amazing staff. Sweet bands and a fun filled karaoke night. Prices on drinks are some of the best around. What else can I say. If you want it they got it.
Great atmosphere, Mandy is the best staff and always welcomes my name and tells me if my favorite season beer is still in stock. The food is really great! Get the tacos on Monday and burgers every other day:
We visited this restaurant one evening to catch a football game, and I was really impressed by how clean the bar was. There was none of that stale beer odor you often find in local bars. Mandy, the bartender, was full of energy and had an infectious smile and personality. She seemed to know just about everyone who walked through the door. We ordered wings and flower cups, and both dishes were generously sized and delicious. Our food arrived quickly and was served hot. I have a feeling this will become one of our favorite local spots in the future. The only downside I encountered was that we couldn't connect to the Wi-Fi.
This restaurant is my absolute favorite in the Jefferson district! It has a beautiful atmosphere and is always impeccably clean, especially with the friendly new staff they've added. I really appreciate that the bathrooms are consistently tidy too. The food selection is fantastic! The hot wings with the horror sauce are amazing! In the late afternoon, the place has a pleasant family vibe, while the evenings bring great music and a lively crowd. I always feel welcome and safe here, and my husband loves the live bands they have! A big shoutout to Hanna, Jess, Nelly, and of course Shane! Thank you for making this my home away from home!
The atmosphere is fantastic! Taco Night on Mondays features $2 tacos that are absolutely delicious. The rest of the menu is impressive as well. There are several rooms, each equipped with multiple TVs for watching sports. The bartenders are friendly and attentive, and you might even score a free drink if you're lucky!
