Welcome to the Draft House!
Well, its been quite a month here at the Draft House. As you know, we had a small kitchen fire back in October, which led to a complete kitchen remodel. Since reopening back in mid-January, we have been absolutely flooded with loyal customers, all telling us how much they missed us. We really appreciate it. WE MISSED YOU TOO ! ! ! !
The big buzzword for February is........FACEBOOK ! ! ! ! We began a Page called "Dewitt Draft House". Just click on the blue button above and it will take you straight to our site. Become a "FAN" of Dewitt Draft House so you can be updated with our weekend specials, upcoming events, and everything Draft House. We will be giving away two "Dinner for Two" gift certificates every month for our Facebook "Fans", so join now.
 Other things you might not know about the Draft House.................
* We are completely Smoke Free
* We have a Lower Lounge / Banquet Room recently remodeled in a Retro - Theme. And I mean Super Groovy, Baby ! ! Complete with lava lamps, authentic 60's and 70's light fixtures, a very mod Flower Power sectional sofa, record player, 8-track player, and all sorts of groovy decorations. People just LOVE it down there, its not at all your typical banquet room. So rember us for your next party, wether its a birthday party, retirement party, company Holiday Party, or you just want to groove and get down ! !
* We CATER ! ! ! From 50 - 500 people, we know how to make your event special. Highly consider us for your Wedding, Tailgate Party, or whatever shindig you got planned. We've got years and years of experience, and we fully understand how important your event is. And we are proud to offer environmentally conscious "Zero Trash" catering. What this means is that nothing goes to the landfill. If your event doesn't call for fine white china, we use environmentally friendly disposables. Everything from the plates, silverware, napkins, even the trash bags they go in, are made from sustainable resources, and are completely biodegradable. Yep, it's "Green" catering, because we care. Call Lee for questions and bookings at 517-488-2241.
* We "own" Taco Tuesday. We invented it 28 years ago. Back in 1982 when we opened the doors, we advertised (3) Tacos for a Buck on Tuesdays, gave it a name... "Taco Tuesday", and it became an immediate hit. It's grown to become a Dewitt institution. Nobody cooks at home on Tuesday, everybody is at the Draft House. About 20 years ago we had to raise the price to $2,and for a short time renamed it Taco Twosday. About 10 years ago we changed it to the current pricing where we offer $1.00 Tacos. Although the price went up slightly, you can now pick and choose what you want, (example...1 Beef Taco, and 2 Chicken, etc). Then about 4 years ago we added the very popular and delicious Fish Taco ($2.25). Probably more Taco Tuesday history than you counted on, but now you know.
* We are "Green". Yeh, we know thats getting thrown around alot for good marketing these days, but we truly CARE. (Read Lansing State Journal article above). We recycle, and have been able to divert 50% of our waste from going to the landfill. By replacing every water outlet in the buildiing and other efforts we have cut our water usage by 50%. We no longer use styrofoam. We only source sustainable fish, so feel good knowing your seafood selection at the Draft House is not only good for you, its good for the environment. We use only Fair Trade organic coffee (and its excellent). Wherever possible we use products that have been manufactured from recycled paper and materials, including our napkins, hand towels, office paper, menu paper, We no longer use harsh toxic chemicals. And we're finding new ways to make a difference all the time.
* We've got the best restrooms anywhere around. When we remodeled these two years ago we planned way outside the box. Completely touch free, and gorgeous. Even the door opens for you as you leave, so you don't have to touch the door handle after washing your hands. Check em out, they're sweet.
