We've got a feeling this is your year...
It's that time again. Happy Fantasy Football Draft Season, to those who celebrate. There's nothing like getting the gang back together for some brewskis, grub, and the chance to swipe that star QB away from the person who won it all last year. In celebration of the revival of your league, we invite all commissioners to peruse this list of spots to host the BEST Fantasy Football Draft Party ever. Focus on your first round picks, and let these Austin locales do the rest.

Pinstack has a fantasy football package that turns your draft into a full-blown night out. The offering includes a private two-hour room, Wi-Fi and a projector for draft boards, three shareable platters, unlimited non-alcoholic beverages and two beer or wine tickets per guest, plus the league commissioner gets a $100 Player Card. The party doesn't stop after the final pick is in - stick around for bowling, arcade games, laser tag and other attractions.

Shoal Creek Saloon is one of the most straightforward options for a traditional fantasy draft party, with a dedicated private space. The Lift Party Room seats up to 65 people and comes with buffet-style dining, a full bar, an audio system and more than a dozen independent TVs, giving commissioners plenty of room for draft boards, laptops, and of course, plenty of talking trash.

Mix things up this year and (yacht) rock your draft party. Reserve a pontoon from Captain Verde’s Party Boats, which features spacious seating, Bluetooth speakers and LED swim lights, while the company provides safety equipment and handles the boating logistics so your group can focus on the draft and take in the lake views.

Koko's Beer Hall brings a Bavarian beer-hall feel to fantasy football, where you can reserve your own screen for your party. Come hungry: The food options feature German-inspired favorites like giant pretzels, bratwurst, currywurst and schnitzel, with plenty of wings and shareables. There’s never a cover, plus plenty of free parking, so all you have to do is bring your draft strategy and reserve your screen ahead of time.
