The original “Duffy’s Drafthouse”, was founded by two childhood friends turned business partners in Lake Park, Florida in 1985.  In addition to plenty of beer choices, Duffy’s had only 4 items on the menu:  Grilled Mahi Sandwich, Hot Ham and Cheese, Smoked Sausage and ½ lb. Cheeseburger.  All of these original items were served with potato chips so there was no need for silverware or even a fryer.  From the beginning, Duffy’s Drafthouse became known for “The Coldest Beer” and “Best Burger” in town…and it was wildly popular.
