..Cool place to go when your daughter completely flips out at the 6th floor rooftop observation bar during a perfect sunset and you have a $15 Prosecco spill all over your lap then pay for an hours’s worth of bowling that lasts 30 minutes and you go home angry. The old fashioned was decent.

The bar was quite fun and the majority of the staff were incredibly kind and attentive. This review is to put one man on BLAST for insane behavior that is entirely unacceptable for any person who wants to be accepted in modern society, let alone someone who works in the service industry for a living.
My group was bowling, and the lanes were so ungreased that you could easily walk down them. Yes, I know this is a BAR and not a bowling alley. We did not expect a top notch bowling experience. With that being said, we did pay $30 to have access to the small lane for an hour. When we started playing and realized how ungreased the lane was, my sister’s boyfriend asked the man pictured below if he was “in charge.” When he said yes, my sister’s boyfriend asked about how often they greased their lanes. The man STARED at my sister’s boyfriend, refusing to open his mouth. He literally just glared at my sister’s boyfriend as a move of intimidation, as if to say “how dare you ask me about something like the grease on a bowling lane when I’m wearing this fancy suit and clearly am above this kind of concern.” After a few seconds, my sister’s boyfriend just said “nevermind,” and the rude employee turned on his heel and proudly strutted away. As he walked off, we all clearly saw him roll his eyes and shake his head in disbelief, like this was the silliest thing anyone had ever asked him. It was incredibly insulting, and left the entire group feeling belittled and embarrassed.
The employee in the images below should either be fired or put in a position where he is no longer interacting with any customers. I would not return to this place if I knew I would have to see that man again.

We happened upon this cozy spot while staying at The Restoration Hotel. What a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy games of all sorts, including pinball, golf, ski-ball, Pac-Man and more. All games but bowling are free to paying customers. We had a great time, enjoyed the food and plan to return with friends soon.

The food was very good both burgers were good.
We had a large group with kids. The kids had a great time running around.
The only negative was the extremely slow male bartender with an attitude.
My friend and I stood at the bar waiting to order for a hungry group including small children.
He completely ignored us and waited on people who sat down after we had already been there.
It was intentional. Only 6 other people were at the bar.
The man who served our food was very nice and attentive.
One person ruined what would have been a great experience.

I did not eat here – my score is for the drinks. Not great – for the same price you can get some better cocktails. The service is good. The all you play games are a lot of fun. If I go back it will be to have a beer. Note bowling does have a cost but all other games are free.

We visited this bar a couple of nights during our stay because the staff was truly next level. The bar bites were fantastic—don’t miss the deviled eggs! But what really made the experience unforgettable were the people. Selena, Lily, Oscar, and Luke deserve all the recognition. They weren’t just making drinks and taking orders—they created an atmosphere where we felt like regulars. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine personalities made every interaction fun and memorable. They gave spot-on recommendations, crafted amazing cocktails, and still took the time to connect with us in such a genuine way. Service like this is rare, and it turned our hotel bar visit into one of the highlights of our trip. Absolutely loved staying here and can’t wait to come back to see this incredible team again! If you get to see Lyric play and sing, you’re in for a treat!

We stopped by The Draftsman while celebrating my bachelorette party in Asheville. The food was delicious, drinks were well made, and atmosphere was fun/ inviting. The real gem of the Draftsman was the bartender, Selena. Not only did she make the best drinks, she was personable, funny, and professional. She was so amazing that we had to visit again to see her and the live music later that night. The whole team: Selena, Lily, Oscar, and Luke made it an unforgettable experience!

Seems like a really cool place, but we tried to go on a Sunday during the day and they had closed because people called out. No problem, we tried back the next Monday night, and called prior to make sure they were open. Was told they were open and we took a long treck through the winter cold breeze all the way here to find out it was closed for a private event. Seems like a nice place to vibe and hang, but lack of communication is really hurting their profits.

I love how my phone videos pop up automatically to share to leave a review. I love Draftsman. Great atmosphere. Love all the free games and the local music on rotation every weekend.
The band that was playing while I was there in these videos are called Shed Bugs.

Food was great, but some things on the menu were not available. Ordering system is chaotic, but it’s bar, so that’s expected. Atmosphere was excellent and good to hang out and relax.
