- MMMJRFeb 19, 20265.0We had a fantastic time at Draft Republic. It was an excellent spot to watch the Super Bowl while enjoying a wide range of beers and tasty food!
- BSBill ShenFeb 11, 20263.0Passable food. Service is friendly but slow. Large space for groups and families.
- MBMichael BaileyFeb 9, 20265.0I 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.
- MEMr. Carlsbad Real EstateFeb 4, 20265.0Great place to catch a game and dine out!
- LHLupe HairstonFeb 2, 20264.0We 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.
