The Rough Draft Healdburg Reviews
Our family stopped in during the Windsor Holiday Celebration and it was packed. Even with all the folks in good spirit waiting and milling around, the staff was absolutely on point. Jordan (one of the owners), made an extra effort to take care of us and gave us happy hour prices for our food and beer though we were right at the end of it. Classic wings were tender, chicken wrap was good and filling and the cheesy garlic bread was hard to stop eating. Lots of beer choices, big TVs for sports and seats for butts. If you are looking for a chill taphouse to have a glass of beer, cider, wine and/or a bite to eat, the Rough Draft is worth a stop.
We had a great time celebrating my son’s Bday. Great food, beer, ciders and even root-beer and they took great care of us! Ended the night with some yummy churro bites dipped in chocolate and Carmel- YUM! I highly recommend this place! Grand Opening is 10-18-25- we are going back!
My favorite review of this place, "it's like Windsor's new Cheers!" I can't agree more, sweetest community hangout where everyone knows your name! Bonus yummy food, family friendly and always a great selection of beverages! I look forward to seeing what's new each week!
This was my first time at The Rough Draft and I was really impressed! The service was excellent from the moment I walked in. I ordered an Aperol beverage and some food. They accidentally brought out the wrong dish but told me it was on the house, then quickly brought the correct one. Such great customer service, 10/10 experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Enjoyed my visit with my daughter! Had a nice lunch, Pizza and salad and a hummus plate! We enjoyed a Lost Coast Rootbeer float too! Great service and so clean! Thank you!
