Draft City Self-Pour Taproom & Eatery

We came here after a long day hiking based on the glowing reviews on Find Me GF. My mom has celiac and we were excited to see so many options on their menu and reviews that showed the owner has clear put a lot of thought and care into ensuring the food can be enjoyed by all. Unfortunately we had a terrible experience with our server. She was rude and dismissive throughout our time. When asked if the beers/ciders/drinks were labeled GF (totally okay if they weren’t but a fair question to ask!) she said “I have no way of knowing about the beers, I just work here.” We understood and my mom just picked a cocktail instead. We wanted to add sausage to our pizza and asked if the sausage was GF. She said “it’s sausage…” and I explained that sometimes gluten can be found in meats if breadcrumbs or certain seasonings were used. She said “well we season all our food, so.” I asked if she could ask the cooks, and she said “well I’m the head chef here. I’m not cooking right now but I know more than they do so that won’t help.” It was so rude - how hard it is it to say “unfortunately I can’t confirm the meat is gluten free”? She then said “I guess I could look at the package? But we throw them out…” and was clearly annoyed. I said don’t worry about it and we hoped for the best. I pulled up the comments again to read them thinking did we go to the wrong place or something? The food was REALLY good and my mom did not get sick. I do think the owner has put thought into the menu and the kitchen is set up to reduce cross contamination. However, the server needs to be trained on how to kindly answer these questions even if the answer is no or it’s information she doesn’t have. We are used to the lack of knowledge about gluten and it’s not a big deal if we need to skip an ingredient, modify, etc. However the rudeness was really inappropriate. Great pizza and salad though - I guess your experience depends on when you go and who is working.

We stopped in when we were in the area camping and so glad we did! Those of us in our group that aren't beer drinkers were happy to see so many other options! Cocktails, wines, ciders, and seltzers-we had lots of fun trying them all! Our food was delicious, they have lots of yummy sounding items on their menu and many gluten free options! The staff was very kind and attentive. We enjoyed the vibe and all the unique decor, plus it was very clean. We will definitely be back when we are in the area!
