6 reviews for Bass Lake Draft House
Of all the locations of the "Draft House" restaurants in the Greater Raleigh area, this one is my favorite.
One of the things I'll miss most since my recent conversion to a form of quasi-vegetarianism is the Kansas City burger here (BBQ Sauce & grilled onions, YUM!). Since then, my cuisine options are limited, but when I'm in the area I still like to come by here for a quiet drink or two.
Another great feature of the Draft House is their porch, which can help keep you insulated from all the noise on the inside of the restaurant, as it can get pretty damn packed especially on game days and Friday and Saturday nights at peak time.
All in all, if you're looking for a place to grab some delicious burgers and a decent choice of beers in the Holly Springs area, the Bass Lake Draft House is the place to be.
I've found the food at Bass Lake Draft House to be a hit-or-miss. I've had very good comfort food along with some mediocre sandwiches. It seems like the ingredients are standard food service grade with some of the entrees being pre-packaged rather than prepared in-house. The service is passable in a sports bar-like enviornment. They have a great variety of beers and good sightlines to sports on numerous televisions. It's a one-of-a-kind in Holly Springs at the moment but I prefer to drive to the Carolina Ale House in Cary or another casual dining restaurant in Fuquay-Varina for now.
P.S. I agree that the pickle chips are great - but overpriced.
The only thing worth getting at the Bass Lake Draft House are the fried pickle chips with ranch dressing. Everything else is just okay. I usually get sick after I eat there, which is why I just don't eat there anymore.
They really do have the best spinach-artichoke dip really ever. It almost doesn't even taste bad for you because of the ratio of artichoke/spinach to cheese/sour cream/whatever. Get it with tortilla chips instead of the pita bread for more dipping action!
Lots of Beer and lots of Burgers, what more is there? When I moved to Holly Springs from Cary, I was happy to learn about Bass Lake. I've spent many a night at Harrison's in Cary, owned by the same people.
I recommend the black and blue burger - real blue cheese, not blue cheese dressing like I've unfortunately seen at some area restaurants. The fried pickles are pretty good too :)
The food here is really good, they have a wide variety and the portions are huge. They even have fried pickle chips if that's what you're into. I won't have them again, but I'm glad I could say I tried them. Pretty much anything fried can be tasty. They have a lot of beer on tap, even Red Oak, which makes me very happy. It's very loud inside, that's the only reason I gave it four stars instead of five. I prefer sitting outside when it's open because you can actually have a conversation out there. They also have some of the yummiest spinach artichoke dip ever! There were huge chunks of artichokes and so much spinach it was tinted green. Delicious!
