History

Established in 2009.

When we first opened our doors in March of 2009, we did so with certain goals in mind. We wanted to be a fun, friendly place where people could kick back and relax, whether it be for lunch, happy hour after work, or a night time destination spot for local and out of town guests. We carefully selected a top notch chef to create a menu that appeals to many different dining needs. We wanted to provide entertainment to keep things fun and exciting. Most importantly, we wanted to create strong relationships with our patrons and ensure that their needs are our #1 priority. Here we are, some time later, still holding true to the same mission we had day one.

Been here a couple of times and every time their menu is different. Maybe because a lot of their food isn’t good. There seems to be different chefs. Each time I order the same thing it’s different. The wait staff is a little rude as well. Also there aren’t good beer selections. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Avoid at all costs. My girlfriend was groped by a drunk slob here and as I was arguing with him the fake tough-​guy «bouncer» tried to start a fight with me as I tried to explain the situation to him and kicked me out. He then proceeded to chase me to the parking lot with a crew of 7+ employees. Avoid this low-​class bar filled with low-​class patrons and employees.

Solid pub! Great food, expansive menu. When it’s slow the chef always asks for our opinion and prides himself on the entrees! Drinks are good, service is great. Make sure you check for private events or entertainment so you know what kind of night you’re in for!

Dinky kind of place with average food and an ok beer selection. In a place like this, the staff can often be the make or break factor but sadly. The draft house fails in this regard too.

Place is just boring! Typical low quality valley bar! Too many untalented cover bands!

Service is just ok. It depends on the bartender/​waitress on shift. Some are friendly and get you refills without asking, while others seem annoyed your’re there. Typical bar atmosphere, kind of noisy and busy at usual times. Burgers are tasty. Getting the side salad instead of fries is a good choice.

In order to post this I had to give one star… I wouldn’t give this place any stars. I was there last night and I have to say that this is the WORST bar I have ever been to. Bartender was rude and the food was okay. Warning to all… Spend your money somewhere else… I know I will!!!

This is one of the closer bars to where I work so have spent quite a few happy hours here. As far as a bar goes, it’s not bad. Some Thursday nights are pretty crowded when they have a DJ. Trivia nights are pretty fun. Even won there one week. As others have said, it would be nice for them to have more beers there since they are called Draft House. Pretty much your standard bud light, coors light, etc.
The food’s not bad and the ranchero wrap is actually really good. I’ve had mostly appetizer stuff there and it’s about what you would expect.
If you want a night out in Shelton for some drinking with a friends this isn’t a bad choice. They have a bunch of pool tables as well.

DRAFT house? What Draft? For a restaurant to call themselves a «draft house» and not have any real good quality draft beers is FALSE advertisement. This place is just a regular ol’ sports bar for the «never left high school» jocks of the Valley. Their beer selection is what you would find at a Fraternity, thus this place should really be called Frat House.

I have been here many times, and yes, the crowd depends on the night you go.
The décor needs some work, as the place feels a little empty, but the food is good and there is an o. k beer selection.
Service depends on the night as well. Sometimes, service is great. Others, not so much.
Shouldn’t it be «draught»??

Met a friend here for drinks and a bite. The food was excellent! Very fresh and very tasty. The service was good but a little slow but I think she knew we weren’t in a rush so it was ok. I will definitely return to try more menu items. They have a huge menu.

It’s a bar in a strip mall. Enough said.

How the night is going to go depends on the group of people there. Does not seem to be an early 20’s hang out– and it can get very loud. I was expecting a lot more beers given the name. Service was good, food was typical bar food– its not a place I would turn around and say let’s go there for good food.

There’s not really much I can say that hasn’t already been said. My sister and her boyfriend brought me here because they love the place. While I’m no beer aficionado, I do know a good beer when I see/​taste one. Going to a DRAFT house, I was expecting a good selection of drafts for people with a variety of tastes. In actuality, they had I think 8 beers on draft, and most were crappy domestics. I’m sorry, but Bud and Coors are not good beer. Yes, bars should supply them for those who have no tastebuds. But for people who actually enjoy flavor, you need to have a solid selection, especially if you tout yourself as a drafthouse. Even their bottle selection was abysmal. Huge, huge disappointment.

They need better beer on tap. The most exotic microbrew is 60 minute dogfish, which you can get anywhere. The food is surprisingly good. Just get better beer in tap. If you pour it they will come, at least I will.
