Our server was super nice. I do feel with a large party she could have used some help. There was plenty of staff. We had to wait a bit to get refills of water and get check.
The food was good just average bar food. We got the fried mushrooms. They just tasted like the had been flash fried -nothing special but good. The fish and chips need salt and the tartar sauce was more like a dill sauce and very thin. I didn’t particularly like it but the fish was good.
My drink was delicious and dangerous. You can’t taste the alcohol so be careful.
The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it a nice spot to enjoy a meal. Service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better.
Overall, a solid place for lunch, and I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu.
Service is slow and location seems understaffed. Our server was very nice, kitchen was just backed up and caused food take a long time.
Do NOT get the truffle parmesan fries. They are just french fries with cheap cheese on them. NOT worth the price at all. Good thing is the original french fries are good.
Upon arrival, we noticed that the outdoor area had plenty of empty tables, which gave us the impression that finding a spot wouldn’t be an issue (as seen by the photos, empty). However, as soon as we walked in, the hostess stopped us and asked if we had a reservation. We explained that we didn’t but simply wanted to grab a few drinks and listen to the music. She informed us that we needed a table and that there would be a 15-minute wait. We pointed out the numerous empty tables, but she insisted on the wait. Reluctantly, we decided to sit at the bar instead. Unfortunately, there weren’t two available seats, so we took one of the empty tables nearby.
What happened next was even more frustrating. As we sat down, the hostess approached the waitress, pointed at us, and had a conversation we couldn’t hear. After that, we were completely ignored. Despite the waitresses attending to the table in front of us, not a single one came to our table to take our order or even acknowledge us. We eventually had to go to the bar ourselves to order drinks, which was not the experience we expected.
The lack of attention and hospitality was shocking. As paying customers, we expected to be treated with respect and courtesy, but instead, we felt invisible. It’s no wonder the place was so empty—there are plenty of other options in the area, and this kind of service is a sure way to drive customers away.
Overall, our experience at University Draft House was highly disappointing. The combination of poor service, lack of communication, and overall disregard for customers left us with no desire to return. We hope management takes note of these issues and makes improvements, as the potential for a great venue is there—it just needs better execution. The drinks we are good at all.
