Honestly I couldn’t be happier with this place. Between the quality of food. Paired with their staff being properly trained and seemingly held to higher standards vs most restaurants nowadays. I will 100% go back and will always recommend this place to others . ONLY thing I could say negative so that this really does feel like a true review and not a paid ad is that their game selection and area is kinda meh. Kids will enjoy it but it’s out of place and outdated. Their beer selection and coldness is on point though for sure.

We were a group of nine bikers from Orange County who stopped by for lunch. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere and the service was respectful and well-organized. The drinks and beers were excellent and enjoyed by everyone in the group. The food quality was average and could be improved, but overall, it was a positive experience. A nice spot for group gatherings and a relaxing break during a ride.

I could not have been happier with the food, the beer, our the service. My friend and I sat at the bar with Kaleigh as our bar tender. She is personable and attentive. I would highly recommend.

We had a great experience at Draft Republic overall. The food was amazing, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, the restaurant itself was immaculate. You can tell a lot of care goes into the space and the menu. Service with food and drinks was friendly and attentive.
That said, I was a bit disappointed with the simulator experience. We paid for the simulator as part of a team outing, and there was also a family next to us who had booked one. Unfortunately, there was very little direction, guidance, or engagement from staff on how to best use or enjoy the simulator. It felt like a huge missed opportunity both for our team building on our end and for a family who appeared to be celebrating something special.
What stood out is that this was at 11:30 a.m. right at opening on a Friday, and the restaurant wasn’t busy at all. With more coaching, structure, the simulator experience could have been incredible and really memorable.
All that said, the food alone would bring me back, and the space is fantastic. I hope the simulator experience gets more attention in the future because it has so much potential to elevate an already great restaurant.

Great place to watch a game, lots of beers on tap. Good variety of drafts and good food. Atmosphere was nice.

Be aware of the “5% supplemental fee”; also was charged before tax and tip. It wasn’t told to us by the server before ordering or during payment process; by the time we realized it, we already paid. I checked the menu again, then noticed the small print at the bottom of the menu stating the fee.
That being said, the atmosphere is decent. It’s what you expected of a nice beer sports bar/restaurant. Food was just ok for the price; each person spent about $35 (1 item + 1 beer + 5% fee) before tax and tip. Service was fair, but we definitely felt deceived for not being told about the fee at all until we asked about it after paying. We won’t be back for sure. There are other beer sports restaurants that don’t try to deceive their customers.

We had an amazing time here. We were starving after our day time activities with our daughter and stopped in around 3:30. We ended up ordering the draft Republic burger and the shrimp salad to share between my husband and I and got our daughter some pasta. They split our food for us and the portions were perfect. The food was so delicious and certainly did not disappoint. We were both super satisfied with our meal and so was our daughter. Our server Kayla was amazing and just overall so sweet. She made sure we had everything we needed and while we aren’t dessert people, we said yes to her recommendation of the skillet brownie sundae. It was so amazing. Overall, just an awesome vibe, great service, and delectable menu. Would love to return.

The food and service were good. But there was an added charge on the bill for rising costs. I felt like this was a hidden cost, as the costs of the ingredients should be covered in the advertised price. Also, $4.50 for a soda seemed steep.

Great location. Good drinks. Mediocre food, especially considering the cost. We had the sausage appetizer (too dry), the loaded fries (fry to topping ratio was off), pulled pork burger ( was good), buffalo cauliflower (batter was too thick for the small pieces of cauliflower), and the Tuesday taco special (tortillas were dry -the taco was very small 1-2 bites), and kids spaghetti (fine).
Our waiter was good.

What a great place place for some food, some beer and some fun. Amazing bar with a ton of taps. TV’s all over. Excellent, friendly and attentive staff. The food is great from the sausage platter appetizer to the loaded brisket fries and the amazing short rib melt (one of the best sandwiches i’ve had in a long, long time). Great for large groups. Excellent.
