Bar with drafts

Answer:

TAPROOM

Hint:

Think of a place where craft beers flow straight from the kegs, often with a cozy, social atmosphere.

Explanation:

Bar with drafts" plays on two meanings of "drafts." First, it hints at a bar that serves beer on tap—those are called drafts. Second, "drafts" can also mean cold breezes, but that’s a misdirect here. The real answer is a place where beer is poured from taps, which is a taproom. The clue cleverly combines the literal and the playful to lead you there.
