Draft South Mission

Many beers, many drinks, great eats and excellent view with outdoor seating right along Mission Beach. This is the first time we have ever been here and we went on a Saturday around 11: 30am and was expecting food service to take forever but I was wrong. We were quickly seated outside where we wanted to sit and greeted by our waitress quickly and food was in our faces way quicker than expected. I would imagine the place gets quit hopping in the evening when most people start drinking. Great service, nice people and delicious food. If you're looking for your favorite brew or trying to find something new you won't be disappointed as they have tons of good brews. Also tons of mixed drinks if beer is not your jam. We were just there exercising in area so we did not drink da sweet, sweet nectar of the gods but opted for a Cobb salad with chicken and the fiancee' got the triple stack club w/fries. Both were delicious and both were extremely large portions. The cobb salad was actually ridiculous in size in my opinion but it was so good that I did eat the majority of it. Tons of bacon, blue cheese and all the other toppings that you could want. The fiancee's club was also extremely large and delicious. The club was served on sourdough bread, which she loves, and came with some perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside fries which are my favorite. Again both of these were extremely large portions so if you see the prices and think they're high, you are getting a lot of food....ALOTA FOOOD! So if you are starving I guarantee these will fill you up and if you are just somewhat hungry you could probably actually split an entree and save on the bill as that is what we are going to do next time, plus it leaves more money for beer if you are drinking. With fantastic ambience, excellent view and the delicious food it is worth it to visit this place if you are in the area or if you are not from here, make sure to stop by and check it out. There's also a skate park, Belmont Park and tons of other things to do in area and can make a day out of it if you're not familiar with the area. Also if you are visiting SeaWorld, it is not that far away. Unfortunately as always when I am ordering food I do horrible with my pictures because I start eating but I remembered right as I started eating so please excuse the photo as that is not how it was served to me but I couldn't help from digging in. I also failed and only took a picture of the front side of the menu but the back has tons of Ipas and other beers and drinks to choose from (sorry I just realized I didn't take a picture of the back when I got home). I will take better pictures next time I go and update my photos but just to get an idea check out below. My thoroughness of taking good photos gets a 1/5, but the staff, restaurant and location get a 5/5.

Last day in San Diego and it was recommended to go to Mission Beach. Stopped by Draft after walking the beach. The patty melt was really good. I forget what beer I got…but it was good 😊. The views were amazing! The staff were all very friendly. Overall, a really good experience!

My boyfriend and I come here often for coffee after we go swimming at The Plunge and we love everything about it — coffee, location, nibbles, etc.! 💛🙏 Usually the people who work here are lovely and fabulous but every so often we encounter people that work here who have a serious attitude problem and act like they don’t want to be there, let alone helping people for a living. Today was one of those days and this is the only reason I’m giving this less than five stars! I will be back, of course, but I hope that some of staff learn to treat people better — being rude to patrons (other humans) is not a positive quality in anyone.

The food was delicious. If you order the nachos, make sure you're sharing with someone else. Also had the steak and fries. The steak was cooked too perfection. Service was exceptional.
