The bar keep here deserves a standing ovation. This dude is an absolute machine — moving nonstop for over an hour, serving everyone at the bar, filling tickets, cleaning, running dishes, clearing glasses, prepping for servers — without missing a single beat. It’s wild to watch. He’s got that old-school pride in the craft, handling business with total precision and speed.
He pours beer perfectly — none of that “too much foam, not enough beer” nonsense — just perfect head every time, cold glass, clean prep, spotless station. It’s like watching someone run a symphony behind the bar.
Also, pro tip: the happy hour wings are worth destroying, skip the fried gouda, and just enjoy the vibe. Between the energy, the beer selection, and that bar keep, this place is an easy 5/5.

One of my favorite places in town! The best beer selection and always a delicious burger and fries! They have a great patio space too!

Went there when it was a little chilly. Most of the tables had fire pits. The atmosphere was amazing with that cosy feeling. Would love to go back again.

The beer selection is pretty great. But the food isn't worth the while. Being charged higher prices than fast food, but the food still tastes about the same. Extremely salty, and lacking in flavor. The fish and chips came and was slightly soggy, no flavor, and the fries were stale. Only going back for the beer.

They are still advertising a bunch of items for Sunday happy hour that they no longer offer. This needs to be fixed. Very disappointing to find there are only two items now.
We were visiting from out of town and decided to give Tap and Handle a try after it was recommended to us by a local, and we’re so glad we did! It happened to be a Wednesday, which worked out perfectly since they run their Double Smash Burger special all day for only $7.50. The place was lively with lots of people enjoying the patio on a beautiful day, but we chose to sit inside where the atmosphere was just as inviting. Our waitress struck the perfect balance—friendly and attentive without hovering, which we really appreciated. The drink menu had an impressive variety of beers on tap, and their food menu offered something for everyone. My husband ordered the Double Smash Burger with fries and absolutely loved it. I stuck with chicken tenders and their macaroni salad, which turned out to be a great choice as well. The vibe was chill, with plenty of TVs showing different sports and news, making it a fun yet relaxed place to hang out. Overall, the service, food, and atmosphere were excellent, and we’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town.

Hair on side of ranch. Didn’t give a discount and or server didn’t seem like they cared at all. Toast system didn’t work. Waited 5-10 minutes to tab out and server went to other table to get orders when we asked to tab out and sat here for another 5-10 minutes when toast messed it up… food was yummy tho
