“If you’re anywhere near 1428 Tap Haus, do yourself a favor and stop in. The atmosphere is exactly what a neighborhood spot should be...homey, welcoming, relaxed, and full of good people. You can tell right away this isn’t some cookie-cutter bar. It feels like the kind of place where strangers become regulars after one visit. Misty and her daughter Mystical were incredibly friendly and made all of us Missouri guys feel right at home. Great service, great drinks, live music, and just an all-around good vibe from the moment you walk in the door. You can tell a lot about a place by the people running it, and 1428 Tap Haus has the kind of warmth and personality that keeps you wanting to come back. Looking forward to many more nights there!”

“We frequented this restaurant when it was in Fairview Heights and finally got a chance to visit the Highland location. We made it in during happy hour and I got a $5 raspberry margarita. I was prepared for what you might expect from a $5 raspberry margarita, but I was wrong. It was fresh and a perfect balance of tart and sweet without being overly syrupy. We shared the 16 oz ribeye and from first bite, it was heaven. Flavorful, beautifully marbled, delicious. I also loved the vegetable of the day, honey carrots, and my boyfriend liked the crunchy fries a lot. The plantains I ordered were a little over cooked, but that didn’t keep me from eating most of them. Overall, we had a great time and awesome meal… we will be back!”
