Roughly 16 months after opening, Driftwood Cask & Barrel is giving customers what they’ve long wanted: food.
As 225 Dine reports, Driftwood introduced a happy hour menu at the beginning of March with dishes like red fish with grits, wings and rosemary potatoes. The happy hour menu is served 4 to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. The Driftwood team had planned to serve food from the start, executive chef Sean Rivera says.
“We had another restaurant we were concentrating on in Madisonville, and we knew that we wanted to learn the culture of downtown a little more,” he tells 225 Dine.
Driftwood’s downtown location will dictate the kind of food the gastropub serves, adds Chef de cuisine Beau Flaherty. The gastropub also plans to launch a lunch menu next week.
“We’ve noticed that lunch is very important for the people downtown. We have that window of 45 minutes to an hour that those people have for lunch, and we have to really cater to that,” he says.
