Draft Choice Sports Bar & Grill

What Draft Choice Sports Bar & Grill does

Draft Choice Sports Bar & Grill is a privately held, single-location sports bar and full-service restaurant operating in Auburn, Washington. Founded around 2010, the venue serves local residents in the Auburn/Wynaco trade area with a combined offering of sports viewing on multiple TVs, live entertainment (Saturday karaoke, live music), poker tournaments, and a full food and beverage program that includes breakfast service (7 AM start), appetizers, burgers, pizza, sandwiches, salads, and entrees, alongside a dedicated kids' menu and outdoor patio seating.

The business extends beyond dine-in service into private event hosting for groups of up to 75 guests (birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate events) and off-site catering for parties and special occasions. The technology stack is minimal: the website, online reservation system, email marketing, and social media presence are powered by the SpotHopper restaurant marketing platform; there is no proprietary software, no mobile app, and no AI-driven features.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from in-person consumer transactions — food and beverage sales, private event bookings, and catering — with pricing ranging from $2.89 soft drinks to $32 steak entrees. Marketing relies on organic social (Facebook, Instagram), Google Business Profile, and an email newsletter, with no paid acquisition infrastructure described. Customer segments are horizontal: neighborhood regulars, event and party hosts, entertainment seekers, and families with children.
