Seriously. They have local meat in the burgers. I always get the maple bacon burger. They have a lot of different craft beers for every different kind of beer lover. Outdoor dining/drinking area is really nice. They even have some fireplaces outside so you can enjoy some warmth on a cold night. Great to sit around with friends and enjoy a beer. Don't have any friends? Enjoy the beer then!

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!

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!

There is a pool table, a dart board and a digital jukebox(that is very up to date, it had every song I wanted). The bar tender provided great service. She opened my tab up and I didn't even have to give her a credit card. She gave me fresh beers before I was even finished with my first one! Awesome! She also wasn't greedy. I loved the food. I ordered bone in wings with house sauce. At one point I had to leave to get rolling papers, i left a stack of cash on the bar and told the bar tender I would be back. She held on to it for me. When I came back, she gave it to me, I counted it and I was $4 short which i was very pleased with because at this point I had 4 beers and 3 mixers and I hadnt tipped her yet. So overall, THE ROOTED DRIFTER IS AN AWESOME BAR!
