Now open: The Draft Sports Grill across from Fiesta Mall in Mesa

Just in time for today’s Fiesta Bowl, The Draft Sports Grill has opened in the former Buffalo Wild Wings space across Alma School Road from Fiesta Mall in Mesa.

The 5,500-square-foot venue features a modern green-and-black decor with 34 large TVs, including a video wall behind the bar with two 90-inch LEDs, four 55-inchers, and four 48-inchers.

There are 24 beers on tap – all tracked on a state-of-the-art digital screen via Digital Pour, which also syncs with the grill’s website and apps.

Besides a dozen burgers and sandwiches, the chef-created menu offers entrees like chicken and waffles, spicy crab mac and cheese, and chipotle BBQ ribs.

The full bar not only serves wine and traditional cocktails, but also eight beer cocktails and five spiked milkshakes.

Happy hour – 2-7 p.m. every day – includes $1 off all beers, $2 off all appetizers, $3 house wine and well drinks, $4 frozen margaritas, and $5 premium wines.
