Who knows, maybe some great idea or breakthrough will be spawned while drinking a beer at the Rough Draft Pub." "I hope they build fond memories of their time at UCSD and remember meeting their friends and sharing a beer together. "I look forward to Rough Draft being part of the lives of all these super smart graduate students," continued Silver. There's even a pool within the residential complex with two jacuzzi's for the residents, and yes, they can drink beer in the pool as long as there is no glass. Rough Draft Pub has 12 taps devoted to the company's craft beer selections, a small bar with indoor seating, and a roll-up door that leads to a large outdoor patio. The graduate students are working and studying all the time and they need a break, they need a place to socialize, so a pub has been in the works for a long time now."


"We are doing much more than operating a pub on campus, we are building a community. "Besides being active with the alumni organization I have been working with the Graduate Student Association for years now and that helped get me in touch with this project," explained Rough Draft Founder Jeff Silver.
