Here's a place with an unusual story! But it has a happy ending, so wait for it. This joint isn't too far from my office, so it's convenient for work lunches. I say "joint" because the name is still a bit confusing. It says "Draw 10" above the door, and I previously visited here before it closed. Now, the menu and website say "The Draw". I figure they are just waiting for new signage, since it re-opened.
On that previous visit, I ate lunch with a couple co-workers who wanted to check it out. They had heard that "Draw 10" was a reliable little neighborhood bar. In reality, it was a dingy, funky, old school dive-bar complete with a cigarette machine in the corner. And then it closed. And none of us were surprised.
What did surprise us was when it re-opened... As "The Draw". It's unclear who bought the old place and re-branded it. But one thing is very clear. "The Draw" is a vast improvement!
The menu is familiar, yet upgraded. The dinge is gone. And the place has an excellent sound system. Plus the staff has a new, peppier attitude. Our server Faith was excellent! Her timing and friendliness were top notch. And my AZ Kicker burger with jalapeños was really tasty.
Nice to make your acquaintance, again, "The Draw". Now I know there is a reason to come back!
