The Drafty Cellar

Great place for a fun night out with friends or for date night! We absolutely loved the nostalgia of the arcade games with a great selection and variety of modern and craft beer! They have one of the best selections in the area and you can even purchase from their cooler to take home. The bartenders are very friendly and it’s an all around great environment and place to hang out. Highly recommend!

We stopped here two times in three days! Each time a wonderful experience for my husband and I AND our daughter. Delicious cocktails, excellent service both times and plenty of entertainment (gambling games, pinball machines and games for kids 8 and up I would say) for us to stick around and hang for quite some time! Very happy to have found this gem 💎

A totally tubular environment! Wicked selection of craft beers! and gnarly arcade games are all available for your entertainment. Limited food options however, you can order a PIZZA and have a shell of a good time. I love The Drafty Cellar along with the people that run the joint. I enjoy every visit.

Fancy drinks can also be ordered here.

One of the best beer selections I’ve seen! They truly have a curated lineup of taps and cans.

They have limited, but high quality food options.

This is one of my favorite places to get a drink in Watertown. They also have a wide array of pinball machines and a few arcade games.

They have awesome bartenders/owners that understand and appreciate beer. Ask them for suggestions when you get there.

They also have a surprisingly good bourbon selection!

Want a fun adults only experience? Drafty Cellar has got the Tuesday night for you! With a constantly rotating selection of specialty craft beers and ales from all across the world, you’ll enjoy your night out here. The arcade games and pinball machines are a fun addition if you’re looking to drop a few quarters! Come out too for 7:00 pm trivia by “America’s Pub Quiz” on Tuesday nights, which is a great way to spend a week night out.

Awesome place, tons of cool arcade games, the beer selection is always changing, and they always have something on tap or in the cooler to please your needs. The variety of spirits and mixed drinks is as legit, or better, than that of their beers. The best place in town to grab a drink with friends. Also, the bar keeps are pretty awesome people.

Great beer pub. Awesome craft beers on tap plus many can and bottle choices. Food is limited to soft pretzels and frozen pizzas but both are sourced locally, fresh, and very good. On top of that, there are many modern pinball machines and a pool table for things to do. Great & friendly staff to top things off!

Josh was super helpful, serving flights of beer for tasters before we filled our growler. Football on TV and incredible pretzels not the cheapest in Watertown but definitely the best.

Best Craft Beer Bar around this area. Knowledgeable Owners and Staff will find you the beer you'll fall in love with. Plus games galore!

I love the wide variety of craft beer always available on hand. The friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Love this place! A gem in the middle of Watertown. Great beer selection, atmosphere, and arcade games. What more can you want! The owners are cool too!

Great local bar with a huge selection of craft beers, along with specialty cocktails and a full bar. They don't serve meals but there are lots of yummy snacks you can purchase. TVs for sports, lots of fun arcade machines, board games and darts too.

This place sets itself apart from other Watertown bars with its selection of craft beers and attentive service. You can even play a little pinball while enjoying your beer. I'm not a regular because I'm not a local, but all the other patrons were friendly and welcomed me and my wife to the party at The Drafty Cellar.

Great spot to catch up with friends. Especially ones you haven't seen in 30 yrs!

Bar owner Alex was incredibly hospitable and invested in his customers. Plus they have a great variety of pinball machines. Definitely stop in if the area!

This is my favorite place to hang out in Watertown. The beer selection changes regularly, and there's always something available for every taste. If beer is not your jam, they also have a very nice selection of liquor, and the bartenders are great at making mixed drinks.

The three people who run the bar are super knowledgeable about beer, and probably the friendliest and most interesting people you will meet in town.

Fantastic place to get the newest and best craft beers, on tap or in cans, and the beers to go is just about the best selection in town. Also, the pinball arcade section is rad.

Great beer selection, vibe, and service. This was my first time visiting, but I will definitely be back anytime I am in Watertown. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing. The staff is personable and phenomenal. They might be famous for small batch micro brews and other cool new beers, but I was pulled in by their whiskey selection. I went for a taste and realized they have things I love. Great people, games, a lounge and awesome drinks. You won't be disappointed.

Huge selection of craft beer including new releases, impressive barrel-aged acquisitions, and lots of support for smaller self-distributed breweries (such as Phase Three). High quality cocktails (they have a full bar) and a big selection of bourbon found no where else in town - here you can find a hand-muddled Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, and allocated bourbon/whiskeys such as Weller, Blanton's, E.H. Taylor, Angel's Envy, and even have their own Store Pick Single Barrel Bourbon. There's also a selection of wine and non-alcoholic drinks.
The pinball, arcade games, and selection of board games are a great way to unwind and have a laugh. Having cheese & crackers, warm pretzels and pizza as snack options seals the deal! You're also allowed to bring in food from any restaurant in town if the above options aren't what you're looking for.
