We’ve been going to the Draughthouse since it’s opening. We had been waiting for this since our ‘go to’ place had been the small bar at the Manor. They did the renovation right! They must have anticipated the amount of noise that many customers can make and put the needed acoustical baffles in the ceiling. Even when they are full to capacity, you can still easily carry on a conversation. Now for the food… awesome! Their prime rib is outstanding and the home made hummus is delicious! The staff is very friendly and our tab is always accurate. If you love this place like we do, get a Manor card. It will pay back 10% of purchases if you spend $ 250. Well worth it!

This has to be one of my go to places any day of the week except for Mondays. sad, they’re closed then. I’ve never met more sincere ownership of any restaurant. They take such pride in their food and their service to you. Hats off to this place. And by the way, a great selection selection of beers on tap

Our party of four enjoyed the generously portioned entrees, the service was quick and our server, Amy, was charming, gracious and very cute. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and you could watch the Sox, Celtics or Bruins along with some exciting March Madness while dining. How sweet is that? Paul, Carol, Leigh & Sue 3÷22÷15

I can only rate this place on drinks and ambiance since I didn’t eat here. I have had this place booked marked for some time now and have never been. Or so I thought… I help at a charity event every year at The Manor, and well this place is in the same location and I never knew it. Funny! So anyways, this place is cozy has some booths around the bar area and the. Some low top tables right in front of the fire. That’s what I love best about this place. Nothing better than hanging out with friends and having a few drinks by a nice roaring fire!

Went to watch a wildcard game. Excellent place to catch a game and some draft beers. They do have beer flights. Mediterranean plate was like an after thought. Wasn’t appetizing at all. Flat bread pizza was decent. Would go there to watch a game and try their beers but not for the food.

Just found this place. Great atmosphere and good food. Hard to find these independent restaurants. Quickly becoming our new favorite weekend spot.

Fathers Day lunch turned into a all afternoon affair. Apparently the waitress forgot to put our meals in. Seemed everyone but our table got their meals. Very entertaining with a restless three year old. Go anywhere but here…

The food was excellent, atmosphere was too«classy» for a bar the reason I say this because we dressed casual and were looked at like we were not welcome so if u don’t mind being stared at while eat this place is for you

This is seriously one of me and my boyfriends favorite restaurants. Its the first place that we think of when we want to go out to eat. The steak tips are AWESOME. They are juicy, flavorful and everything you want from a steak tip. Including the reasonable price. The dolmades & the $ 4 bar boneless honey BBQ wings are our favorite starters. We try to sit at the bar whenever we come as they have the nicest bartenders. Their seafood is always fresh & beer is always cold. I can’t wait to go back. Closed Mondays.

My husband and I have been there maybe once a month, for the past year or so. Never disappointed ! The food is always great, no matter what you order. As far as the complainers who wrote an entire book, looks like they complain about everything! You know the type ! If you want GREAT food at a reasonable price, great beer selection, free popcorn etc. great staff and owners too ! They really care about your eating experience. yES you may have a half hr. Wait, it’s called being busy because it IS so good! Go have fun, and be prepared to love it !!

The Draught house was a fun atmosphere with pool and many beers on tap. The waitress was friendly and attentive. BUT, I ordered New England Clam Chowder and it was awful! It was so obvious that it came out of a can. I could tell from the first bite. I eat chowder in a lot of places, so I could tell. Any restaurant in New England should be embarrassed to serve canned clam chowder. If I wasn’t with a group of people I didn’t know very well, I would have sent it back immediately, but I didn’t want to seem rude. Seriously, get it together. Gross.

Has been remodeled. Great beer selection! Food is decent but I haven’t sampled much. A million TV’s. Great place to watch the game, but not a «sports bar» atmosphere, which was a good thing. More of a family restaurant that has sports and TV’s. I.e. it’s not a rowdy crowd; you could take kids in, unlike some sports bars.

Just an okay place. Went on a Friday night and we sat down right away, it was busy but not packed by any means. The beer list isn’t even that stellar for a place called the draught house. The food wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t anything special either. I got the salmon pesto salad, which was good, the pesto came on the side and the salmon was served on a bed if iceberg lettuce. My boyfriend got the gyro plate with chicken, which again was just the bare essentials, nothing to make it stand out. The service was good though, we had a friendly waitress who came back to our table several times to check to see if we had everything we needed.

Reasonable food prices, friendly service and a great spot to watch a Patriots game. There was a fireplace quietly buzzing, waitresses with full beers each direction you turned… I would recommend the pretzel appetizer as well as the Greek plate appetizer.

I’m at The Draught House every weekend. The new menu is awesome and affordable for all budgets. Over 30 Draft beers and a new game room that has darts, pool table and juke box, so great to hang out with friends and have some drinks and $ 4 appetizers! The food is always great and staff is super friendly and willing to accommodate every persons needs because they truly care about their customers! … there was a review about the wait being long on a Sunday night, the draught house is busy especially on the weekends and that’s why they have convenient call ahead seating to cut your wait time. I promise you, this is a restaurant you need to check out, you won’t regret it! The atmosphere, food and great service will keep you coming back for more!

I recently tried to eat at this establishment with my wife and 3 children. I say tried because we left before they bothered seating us. We walked in and there was no one at the hostess station. We waited a good 5 minutes before someone from another party poked their head into the dining area and the hostess came out. We were then informed that the wait would be half an hour, we were torn due to the wait but decided to stay. We then waited patiently and the kids were pretty well behaved for waiting so long. After about 45 minutes the hostess pulled out a high chair for us and asked us if a booth would be ok or would we be ok with a high top. Since both were clearing up. My kids are small and the high top chairs are fairly high so we asked for the booth. This was it, we were going to be seated and finally get some food into those kids. A woman from another party then started complaining and the hostess proceeded to seat them in the booth they were getting ready for us. We assumed it wouldn’t be much longer and decided to stay. They then sat everyone else in the waiting area. A very nice, I’m assuming Greek, gentleman asked if he could give the kids lollipops and agreed to make a deal with them to eat their dinner before they had the lollipops. After a wait of 1 hr and 10 minutes we decided to leave as the youngest of our group had had enough. We then put on our coats and the Greek gentleman along with the hostess came running over to tell us it would only be a few minutes. I told the hostess that she had informed us the wait was 30 minutes and we had been there over an hour. She then told me that she can’t tell how long it will take. Well I have news for you, that is part of your job. Part of your job is to estimate how long it will take and then inform the patron. Being off a little is fine but being off over 40 minutes is not. The Greek Gentleman had offered a private room but after the attitude of the hostess we were all set. Another note, there was a room off to the side that they were not using. The hostess was telling people they only seat people there on the weekends. Hmmm… well we were there on a Sunday night. I’m assuming she considers Friday and Saturday the weekend, but most of us mere mortals consider Sunday the weekend. Our Sunday ended on a very aggravating note and with a review being posted to Unilocal

Meh. Sad, really. The beer list is pretty good, but on a recent visit half of the list was OOS. Service was sub-par, and the food was a mixed bag. The menu is HUGE, but still not right. There’s a lot of Greek food on the menu and while I don’t think that goes with beer at all, I got the Mousakka. NO. Cold in the middle, dry, bland. I got my glass of wine I ordered with my dinner when I was done with dinner. It honestly feels like a wolf in sheeps clothing(where The Manor = wolf). The menu and food is still executed exactly like a place that attracts a flock of 65+ retirees, but with the renovation and tap list, they’re trying to appear to a younger crowd. I think either formula can work, but not together. Hubs had the burger and said it was«decent». I feel like with the renovation and beer list that this place could be a hit, but the menu(and execution of the menu) needs a LOT of help.

This is «The Manor» with a facelift. Same awesome staff, great food and extensive menu. The restaurant did a complete overhaul — new floors, new tables, new bar areas new seats and lots of tv’s. Very nice. I had a Mediterranean chicken — with roasted potatoes and green beans. The chicken was very moist. The spinach was abundant but slightly dry. The cream sauce was yummy. Service was great as always. No complaints here. The manor will now be the banquets facilities. Fine my be as long as the food is great, service is good and the price is right.
