Drifters - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My wife and I are staying in Chatham and after a long day we were looking for a late night meal. Now let me clarify by “late night” I mean it was 8:45pm. We first went to the Chatham Squire and arrived around 8:50pm and were told the main dining was closed but we could sit at the bar. We asked if the kitchen was open and she said for another 10mins but it’s an hour wait for food. So we walked to another two locations in Chatham and all kitchens seemed to be closed at 9pm. Until we went to one place that recommended Drifters since their kitchen was known for being open until 10:30pm. So we ventured the 15min drive to Drifters and couldn’t be more satisfied! They were welcoming and happy to see us and they said their regular menu is until 9:30pm and then it’s their late night menu which consists of apps until 10:30pm. So if you’re in Chatham and looking for a late night meal, come to Drifters. Good quality fresh food and very good service.

This spot was amazing. the cocktails were on point, the competition-winning chowder was fantastic, and the burger and fish & chips were some of the best i’ve had. our server was the owner, Dylan, who was so warm and friendly. will definitely be back!

Excellent food! We were a little skeptical as when we arrived the place was pretty empty (@ 6:30p) - but we knew the reviews had been good. EVERYTHING eaxh of us had waa outstanding along with great service.

Amazing cocktails, chill vibe.. Thoughtfully executed dishes prepared by chefs you know are all in. What a great night! If I lived in the area they'd never get rid of me.

Great food and beverages. Great service.

The duck toast is a MUST! Very delicious. I had the diver scallop entree and although the scallops were cooked perfectly they were a bit small. The cocktails are delicious. I would definitely come again.

The food & service is great, and the kitchen is open later than anything else in Chatham.

Friendly service. Great chowder. Delicious fish and chips. Tasty crab cakes.

Awesome spot, great atmosphere and owner us fantastic. Highly recommend

Great food! Friendly owners and staff. And they serve food until 10:00 p.m. even in the off season. Definitely check it out.

Very limited menu. Very expensive and small place, Dark no good lighting

Drifters is a hidden gem! The drinks and food are absolutely delicious! My mom and I came here on a whim, staying in Chatham for a few nights and we both said we would drive the hour and 45 minutes just for dinner again. Chowder - 5 stars. Wings - 5 stars. Burger - 5 stars. Doughnut holes for dessert - 5 stars. And don’t forget the espresso martinis. We WILL be back!!

Excellent food!! Service above and beyond! Highly recommend this venue

YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE!! Hands down best restaurants we visited on vacation. Every dish we ordered was delicious and made to perfection. The most delicious espresso martini I have ever had in my life. Chris you are wickedly talented! We will be back again🤩

The staff was very accommodating, vibrant was casual. Drinks were fantastic, and the food was great. We had oysters and the Buffalo wings for apps. The wings were cooked perfectly. Crispy, not soggy at all. I had the carbonera, and my wife had the mussels. Both were really good. Bartender/waiter was very nice. His suggestions for drinks were spot on. We are locals and for our first visit very impressed. We will surely be back very soon.

Delicious! Chef Ruggs is amazing!!

Delicious food and drinks! Bartenders and Owner are awesome!

What a hidden gem!! This place is stellar all around. Food was excellent, staff was friendly and attentive. Will definitely make a point to stop here whenever we are in Cape Cod!!

A must go to in Chatham! Went on a Wednesday night off season, and it was great! Local crowd was there, and everyone was in great spirits. Service was top notch. We tried a lot of dishes that were delicious, but the dessert was the best! Gotta get the donuts!

Delicious food and intriguing drinks. The service was excellent. Both the Jayne Burger and the Pappardelle Carbonara did not disappoint. And I recommend Tommy's Nightmare if you like something refreshing with a kick. See pic.

The Jayne Burger is the best burger I have ever had!! And the donut holes should be criminal they are so good!

Best cocktails in Chatham! Try it!

Drifters is a phenomenal addition to the bars and restaurants in Harwich/Chatham. It looks like a regular hangout from the outside but the food and drinks and insanely elevated and fantastic. Greg on the bar made us gorgeous cocktails that would be at home at an NYC rooftop bar and tasted even better. Great playlist and super cool menu. Go to Drifters immediately!

This is a must-see bar and restaurant, do NOT sleep on the burger, it has a lovely story to it and it is delicious. The bar patrons and owners of the establishment really take care of their clientele and go above and beyond service. Will visit again many times, highly recommend!

Really pleasantly surprised by this place! Was excellent 💯

Chatham and this area of the cape desperately needed a place like this. The cocktails are incredible, some of the best I’ve had on the cape, and the menu is innovative. The owners really know what they’re doing (coming from the restaurant and bar industry in nyc) and I’m so excited to see this place get the popularity it deserves. Whether you’re looking for a great dinner, or just a fun night out, this is the spot!

Went to Drifters on a Saturday evening after the kitchen had closed. The owner Dylan was behind the bar and made us a wonderfully crafted cocktail! The establishment is filled with love and people that care deeply about what they are serving. Would highly reccomend Drifters to anyone and can't wait to come back to try the cuisine! Lovely establishment here on Cape.

Drifters is a great addition to the South Chatham area! Delicious sandwiches for lunch and a nice dinner menu including a fantastic burger and delicious bolognese. So good to have nearby! We had lunch takeout twice and ate dinner in. The pork sandwich and roast beef sandwiches were big hits!

The made-to-order donut holes are ridiculously good. Savory breakfast sandwich as well.

Wow! Really good food and a cool atmosphere too. What a great addition to Chatham. Congrats Drifters!!

Elite food. Very impressed. Their buffalo wings are second to none.

Christmas Brunch! Was amazing!!!

Stopped in for lunch and had a great meal, the chopped cheese pita was insanely good, as was the breaded chicken cutlet sandwich. Would strongly recommend to anyone in the area. Will be returning for dinner soon to try the rest of the menu and a cocktail, as the owner evidently spent a lot of time managing and developing bar programs in New York. 10/10

Went there late evening on a Thursday for a bite and the place was hopping! The music was a bit loud but good. We were all having fun.

This place has great food, excellent service, a friendly atmosphere and if you like hot sauce, they make their own. It has a great flavor that doesn't overpower, but compliments your food. Looking forward to going back.

My boyfriend and I had an enjoyable experience at Drifters. We got to know the owner and his family and the restaurant's origin story! Drifters have a great selection of natural wines, local craft beers, and an excellent cocktail menu. For food, I recommend chicken wings and crab cakes. We had the caesar salad but there was too much dressing for my taste. I'd recommend to the chef to lessen the dressing and add some croutons 😁. Other than that, great food and company!

Nice atmosphere great cocktails friendly staff love their appetizers ! Would rate more then 5 ⭐️

Another great Old Fashion and wings, will be going again.

Stopped by for an after dinner drink with my girlfriend last week. Wine was excellent and properly chilled! Ambience was unlike most Cape spots. Very chill and relaxing! We took a look at the food menu and was impressed! We have taken out twice this week and have not been disappointed! Highly recommend the Jayne burger! Go check it out for yourself!

Great new spot. Nice vibe. A little cozy but definitely adds to the ambiance Cocktails were on point and the food well prepared. You can tell that dedication goes into this place. Happy to see another restaurant adapting to the new generation of cape coders and visitors.

I love everything about this place! Cool vibe, great cocktails and delicious small plates. Probably the best espresso martini ever! Cape Cod needs more places like this!

I've been twice and had stellar service and the food was great. My only gripe is that they don't have a rotating seasonal draft list yet.

Nice folks. Small place, 2 tables then just bar seats which arent too comfy with a sore back. Drinks are small in size but taste good. Currently small food menu. Most items gluten free and people enjoyed the food. Good wine list. Got the truffle fries and was very good. Came out hot which seem to be rare these days. I will return. Menu pic from July 2022

Drifters is an incredible spot with an amazing menu and top notch cocktails/wine choices. It’s rare to find a restaurant on Cape that can compete with the top restaurants of Boston and NYC in terms of quality of the meal and ambience, but Drifters delivers!

Great music, excellent pickles.

I absolutely loved this new, chic spot. All of the small plates are unique and delicious. The cocktails are classy, worthy of a Manhattan bar.

Amazing gluten free options. Best crab cakes I've ever had and amazing wait staff that answered all allergy questions. GF and vegan items marked clear on the menu! Amazing cocktails too!!

This place was so good! It was fairly priced and the drinks were great. The crab cakes and truffle fries were amazing. Owners were very nice and welcoming. We will be returning.

I loved the Jayne burger and the Buffalo wings. The Buffalo wings were the bomb!!! -Lee & Jevin

Great new spot in SoChat. Filled the void from the exit of the Talkative pig. This should be a homerun. Food, drink and atmosphere is terrific.
