Drafts Sports Bar and Grill

Anywhere that has deep fried oreos, Candy Crush Martini’s, and 1919 Root Beer Float’s is a winner in my book so when we were deciding where to go, Drafts Sports Bar and Grill became the destination for the night. An off sale sports bar on one side and a restaurant on the other, it has the best of both worlds. Owned by Brent and Jasmine Melsa, who were brought together by the University of Minnesota Crookston, stayed close to their roots and opened Drafts in the summer of 2013. I’m a sucker for a good story and local ties so for us would-be weekend Crookston-ains, it was a great way to cap off this road trip stop.
