The Drafting Room (Exton)

Took a trip to the suburbs today and decided to check out The Drafting Room, which I've heard a lot of great things about. We went about 4:00 and were literally the only customers there. Nice place, real chill decor, and comfortable seating. The draft list was pretty damned excellent - 06 & 08 Double Bastard, 07 Stone RIS, Manayunk Festivus and some other goodies. I opted for the well aged 06 Double Bastard and refreshing Ommegang Witte. I was surprised to see some East End Gratitude bottles there. Where is this all coming from?

The food, on the other hand, was a bit of a disappointment. The crab soup with a bacon garnish was pretty good, but needed lots of salt. I had a burger, which was well cooked but I'm pretty sure it was a patty. Autumn went for the bottomless mussels and they were undercooked and filled with sand. We said something and it was unquestionably taken off of the bill which really says something about the place. The service, on the other hand, was stellar.

Overall this is a nice place to check out if you're ever in the area. Just down the road from TJ's, McKenzie and Victory. Makes for a great little pub crawl if you've got the time.
