First Draft

First Draft has a helpful and friendly crew along with good vibes. My goodness, the food by Burnt Chicken is amazing! I ordered the Burnt Chicken sandwich, sticky icky Buffalo wings, and chicken tenders. The Buffalo wings were the perfect mix of sweet within the buffalo sauce. The Burnt Chicken sandwich is a MUST HAVE. Juicy chicken thighs, a crispy skin, cole slaw, and a delicious glaze that ties it all together. This might be the best fried chicken sandwich I have ever had! The chicken tenders were huge and delicious as well. I can’t wait to stop in again!

Discovered my new fave beer tonight. Recommend you go and find yours. First Draft is a really fun model for exploring beer and more! Get a wristband and use it to pour any size glass of beer, wine or cocktail on the self service taps. I saw this concept for years ago in New Orleans and I’m so happy it’s come to MN. I liked the number of MN and regional beers showcased. Plus, live music by Matt Griswald set a chill tone. A pop up kitchen features different foods. Go already!

Pouring your own drinks is always fun. The selection was okay, not great. The food, however, was delicious! Plus, the games available to play were an added bonus. Great atmosphere, just wish their tap selection was a little better.

Almost no options for vegetarians unless you include fires or chips. The service is a bit slow. I liked the pour your own beer.

Great place to try different beers without the commitment of buying a whole glass. They have a variety of options, even sours & kombucha. Highly recommend the Burnt Chicken Sandwich!

Beer was good and reasonably priced. The chicken was also delicious. The restaraunt was clean and the table games were a fun addition.

One of my favorite "bars" to go to. They have everything from cocktails to kombucha and it is all self pour which makes it even more fun. The self pour is a great concept that allows you to try a lot of different things. They have great trivia nights and food, which is great since a lot of "breweries" don't. It can get spendy but thats with anywhere you get drinks

Such a unique concept for a bar! I absolutely love this place! So many different options for beer, cider, sours and even wine! You swipe your debit/credit card when you walk in that gets synced to a key fob that you then use while you’re there to unlock different drink options you want and fill your glass yourself! It charges a set amount for each drink per ounce. My friends and I each walked away only paying between $2-$7 for what we had! Great deal!!

My boyfriend and I had such a great time at First Draft! They had a great drinks selection and lots of games to play. The male server with long curly hair made our night: He showed us how to play a game and walked us through some drinks. His positivity made our night! Will definitely visit again.

It's a cool place and there is a solid selection of beers. The chicken and fries are also pretty tasty. The tipping at the restaurant feels unnecessary and mildly infuriating. You order the food on your phone, pay your bill on your phone, and pour your own beer; a mandatory 20 percent tip is ridiculous considering the server hands you your food and a wristband.
