The views of the main streets and the water were quite relaxing. I highly recommend this place!

We didn't want to join in on all the festivities, but we ended up at Drift early Friday evening. Everything was fine! We enjoyed a lovely view and the drinks were good. There was a bit of confusion, possibly due to a shift change, but overall it’s a great place!

Here's a tip: Minglewood, right across the street, offers full plates at good prices, along with great drinks and music. I don’t work there—or at Drift! I'm just a local from Gloucester who used to frequent Drift and had to find a more affordable place with a similar vibe.

They also removed a lot from their old menu. They recently swapped to ?tapas style?, except they kept thesame price as a regular meal. ?Shareable plates? but not really. You?ll def want to share the bill but not enough food on eachplate to really share unless you just want a bite. Good drinks and good music? nice location with a good view to just hang out;but don?t come hungry. Tip: Minglewood offers full plates, good prices, good drinks and music right across the street. Idon?t work here?. Nor there! Just a Gloucester local who used to frequent drift and had to find an affordable place with samevibe)!

I didn?t realize that it was a tapas restaurant, but we got a charcuterie board and my mom and I got espresso martinis. They were excellent. I also got a tequila sunrise which was great. I?monly taking two points off because our server seemed irritated with us and the food was a little expensive. He could have hadstuff going on though (or maybe we were just annoying lol, but I would hope not). This is definitely some place I would go againwith a group of girlfriends for a night out.
