Draft Media Sports Lounge

In the Sheraton Dallas Hotel, 400 N. Olive St; Downtown; 214.777.6524

Draft Media Sports Lounge is the newest part of the Sheraton's $90 million renovation. This Lounge is a massive (414 capacity) wood-paneled den of vicarious athletic thrills. Take notice of all the beauty, wall-length leather-trimmed bar, thick high-back booths, multi sofa's in the lounging areas, 21 flat screens, and an anchoring 104-inch plasma; photos from the standard to the ornate which are expressive sports-hero paintings; reliefs of team logos elegantly carved into wood panels. This fabulous new place tauts a one-page menu. You may recognize the old standbys: soft pretzels w/ cheese sauce & raspberry-chipotle mustard, the Flat Bread Meat Loaf Sandwich w/ jack, fennel slaw & cayenne ketchup, the "Loaded" flatbread pizza (fresh mozz/sweet Ital sausage/pepperoni/onions/green peppers/black olives/sauteed 'shrooms), and four ice-cream sundaes (hot apple pie/choc fudge brownie/banana split/cheesecake & strawberries) served as "glasses" or "shots". To make you even happier, the bar slings a dozen drafts (Boulevard, Smithwick's, Black and Tan...), 14 mostly Cali wines, 60+ spirits (including some finer bottles -- who doesn't love Cowboys & Cognac?), and six signature cocktails, including the Absolut/wasabi/lemon juice/sugar "Half Time Martini" and the Patron/Cointreau/Grand Marnier "Ray's Ultimate Margarita", which you should all really be going Crazy for.

Draft also offers opportunities for fun. Free wi-fi, red felt back-corner pool tables, Wii stations, and two private, state-of-the-art karaoke rooms -- so even if the 'Boys end up passing through another disappointing season, you Don't have to Stop Believing.
