The Ultimate SoCal Day Drinking SpotLooking for the perfect place to soak up some sun and good vibes with delicious drinks and bites? Draft Republic in Mission Beach is an absolute must-visit!On a quintessential sunny SoCal day, my friends and I went rollerblading along the bay before deciding to make a pit stop for some day drinks at this lively spot. Despite rolling in still wearing our blades (but with socks on, of course!), we were warmly welcomed and seated outside in under 20 minutes without even having a reservation.The friendly, accommodating staff immediately set the tone for a fantastic experience. We settled in under the perfect patio sunshine and proceeded to enjoy round after round of stellar drinks. To fuel our day drinking endeavors, we also indulged in their incredible hummus platter - a fresh, flavor-packed offering that had us frantically scooping up every last bite.Between the warm, caring service, the beautiful alfresco ambiance, and the tasty food and beverages, Draft Republic absolutely nailed the vibe we were seeking. It was the ultimate laidback, social hangout for soaking up the best of the SoCal lifestyle with great company.Whether you're fresh off the beach, the bay, or just looking for a sunny spot to indulge, I can't recommend Draft Republic highly enough. It's a surefire hit for good times and even better drinks and bites. We'll definitely be returning for more rollerblading and day drinking adventures!

I didn't get to order the food here, but some of the items looked pretty good. We got indoor seating and we didn't have reservations, but we got a table fairly quickly. I ordered a riesling white wine and it was great for the hot summer weather.

I would give this place more stars for the good selection/variety of brews, but the prices are a little out of control... $17 for a 20 oz beer ($13 + tax and tip)I was going to get some food, as well, but the prices were just too steep.

I came here one time before but the customer service was okay. Everyone just would rather take your wallet than do their job nicely. I came in today to check the view from the top and the hosting waitresses had the audacity to tell me you cannot sit if you want to see the view. It completely ruined the vibe and I changed my mind not to eat there. Very rude, ill-mannered, and money-hungry savages. I'd rather eat somewhere else that appreciates me as a customer and not see those distasteful individuals.

Came here for the first with my family. Tons of seating inside with open views to the ocean. Our server was amazing. I wish I would have caught his name, however he does have a twin sister! Who is equally so nice. The fried pickles are bomb! We also ordered the lemon pepper wings which were good as well! My sister and I ordered the kids meal which is cheaper and actually came out as the same portion size as everyone else's regular entree. So food hack there. I had orders the kids mini cheese burger and had them add lettuce and tomatoes. But it was super super bland. So I added ranch on the side to it Fish and chips were good! The girl who manages the front desk... the one who was working on 5/23 around 4:50pmish is EXTREMELY RUDe. I wish I would Have got her name. My dad was waving her over to ask for the check and she was just standing there laughing and smirking. And making stupid comments to her co worker. Extremely unprofessional and incredibly rude. She could Have easily came over and asked if we needed anything instead of acting immature and unprofessional. Because of her. This restaurant gets a 3 star instead of a 5. Made us feel unwelcome and out of place. But I really did enjoy my server. The male twin. He was truly awesome. Really helped us out with suggestions on food. Drinks and also what to do in the area. His vibe was immaculate.

The minute we were sat down we were given two different menus, Brunch & Main, it only being our first time we didn't think much of it. We get to ordering off the main menu because it was already 1PM but the waitress told us that was a mistake and it was brunch until 2. The restaurant over all was very nice and clean, we waited a little bit for the food to come out but personally the chicken club had no flavor so I asked my waitress for some hot sauce (which she ended up forgetting) so I had to wait until the waiter/waitress just passed by my table. We weren't checked up on frequently, the whole table was trying to get somebody's attention but everyone working was out of sight or too busy.

We came for the opening night of the NBA playoffs. Loved the big screens, good ambiance for a game. For food we stuck with tapas: chicken tenders, big pretzel, fries, and a grilled cheese for my friend's 5 year old. I'd give it all like 1.5/5. My friend's daughter couldn't finish even a half of her sandwich. We only finished our share because we stayed for the whole game. The menu has very little notable offerings, especially for people that don't eat pork. I felt that it was expensive and the quality didn't match. The good things here are the TVs, the service, and the location. But the food is appropriately described as tourist trap. This place would be amazing if the food was good, or even just if they had more options.

Draft is a great spot in front of the water - perfect for sunset! The food was great. I ordered a caesar salad with salmon and it was so big and fresh. The caesar dressing didn't feel too thick like it normally does at sports bars. Fries were also so good! They were a little packed so service was slower than other days but nothing too crazy. Will definitely return soon!

Unfortunately Cannonball upstairs isn't dog-friendly, so we ended up going downstairs to Draft for some quick brunch instead. It's a brewery/bar that's right by the beach! We sat outside, had a full view of the ocean, and had fun people/dog watching. Service was friendly and efficient.+ Beach breakfast 5/5: I didn't have much expectations but the scrambled eggs were buttery and fluffy. The sourdough bread were nicely buttered and toasted too, which is rare. Breakfast potatoes were flavorful as well. It was actually a very decent plate of food for $15.+ Sunset sangria 4/5: Refreshing cocktail that I had two of. It's not bad, but I've had better ones.

Went here for my friends Birthday! We just wanted a cute beach date and drinks. We had a group of 8 and they seated us right away. Service was amazing because they tended to us, and our server was so sweet in explaining all the holiday deals and drinks! Food Ordered the draft omelette and it was like 3/5 not terrible but not amazing. The potatoes were a bit dry and not soft. And the omelette was just an omelette. Not pictured: we got the truffle Parmesan fries and they were so tasty!! Best item on the table- recommend getting for big groups to share. Drinks: 4/5 i think since these are holiday drinks there were good and cute for presentation. They offer the mugs for sale that comes with the various drink. Mug sold separately from the drink. Overall: I think this is a great place for a social drinking with friends and catching up. The servers are very attentive and accommodating. Would love to come back and try other food options since we weren't as satisfied with the brunch order.
