There's something about Drift that I really like. The patio (which the owners plan to expand) is comfortable and the atmosphere is relaxed. The happy hour goes till 7, and yummy appetizers are all half price. Even better, they have a well-rounded drink menu that satisfies the beer drinkers and cocktails types alike.
The frat crowd can get annoying but if you set yourself up at a table on the patio, you'll have so much fun you'll hardly know they're there. Same goes for the ditsy servers.
