Two-step with the cowboys of The Round-Up Saloon. Dance the night away at S4, Sue Ellen's, or TMC. Grab happy hour drinks at JR's Bar & Grill, or Woody's. While I might be out of my personal element, on a Monday night, with Dallas playing the Saints, my two visits were very good, and OH, those Popcorn Shrimp. There's always a party at one of the many LGBT-geared bars and clubs on Cedar Springs. My bartender from my first visit, was not on duty the second day, but passed through the restaurant, and stopped to check on me, and to tell the bartender on-duty, that I was a “troublesome customer.” LOL. My service was very good, and very friendly. Lots of sports memorabilia (all relating to Dallas, if I saw everything), but that is to be expected. I can imagine what it must be like, with some important game on the various TV’s scattered about the entire restaurant. Hold these poses for about 2 minutes before going out to the bars (or doing anything stressful). Now, Draft, as per its name (double meaning, as in “draft beer,” but also “sports team draft”), wine is not the strength.īoth of my visits were during lunch, and Draft was relatively quite. Stretch out in your seat or cross your legs and put your hands behind your head. The shrimp, however were, and on my second visit, I went with the “Popcorn Shrimp,” which were excellent. They were OK, but the sauce was not to my liking. I was quickly served, and looked over the bar-bites menu, settling on the Shrimp Tacos. I was familiar with most of the offerings, and especially as I had already spent time at another lobby bar, at the opposite end of the property. I found the wine list, and read over that – it did not take long.

I passed it by, at that moment, but returned a bit later, and then returned the next day.ĭraft is a largish space, with a full bar at one end, with seating, then two not quite separate seating areas, and then another small bar, which I did not see operational. As soon as I walked past Draft Media Sports Lounge (known simply as Draft), in the lobby of the Dallas Sheraton hotel, just as the doors were opened, I knew that it was a “sports bar.” If all of the TV’s had not told the tale, the sports memorabilia adorning almost all the wall space did.
