One of the best beer selections I’ve seen! They truly have a curated lineup of taps and cans. They have limited, but high quality food options. This is one of my favorite places to get a drink in Watertown. They also have a wide array of pinball machines and a few arcade games. They have awesome bartenders/owners that understand and appreciate beer. Ask them for suggestions when you get there. They also have a surprisingly good bourbon selection!

A totally tubular environment! Wicked selection of craft beers! and gnarly arcade games are all available for your entertainment. Limited food options however, you can order a PIZZA and have a shell of a good time. I love The Drafty Cellar along with the people that run the joint. I enjoy every visit. Fancy drinks can also be ordered here.

Constantly rotating selections on tap, plus a huge variety of cans and bottles. While not the primary focus, their cocktails are also amazing. Their whisky selection isn't huge, but very well curated.

Awesome place with fun and welcoming atmosphere. Great draft beer selection and a great THC seltzer selection as well. Pinball and video games are a blast as well. Can't wait to come back with more friends!
