This place could have won me over with 5 stars so easy. They have a huge space, good food and drink selection, and fun games. Their Thursday night trivia started out so well but QUICKLY died out. It was almost dead by 10 p.m. on a Thursday for trivia which I thought was so odd. I waited 10++ minutes to get a drink and 30++ minutes for a soft pretzel. I think that if they had more staff, table service, and better music/sound it would be PACKED! I will continue to give it a try on Thursday's in hopes that they take this review seriously. Adequate staffing, better music choices, and better service would make a huge difference for this place. The Trivia announcer was GREAT too it just wasn't as fun because of the aspects I have described above.
Been here twice, once on a Wednesday night and again tonight on a Friday evening. Both times, my girlfriend and I have had to wait an annoyingly long time just to see the menu and place our orders. Typically between 15 and 25 minutes. Mind you, both nights it was almost either empty or very few people were actually seated. Both times we ordered a couple of appetizers to split. The first time we had intended to order actual food but was told, at 8pm, that the kitchen had shut down it's dinner service and was only serving small plates. Meanwhile, people who had come in after us seemed to have no issues ordering burgers and main plates. However, we ordered the pretzels, quesadillas, and fries and they were all pretty decent, typical bar food. This last time though, we decided to order the nachos and pretzels. The pretzels were decent, again, but dripped with grease. The nachos were awful. I've included a picture but we ordered the nachos, without chicken (apparently they ran out at 8pm on a Friday night) and it was easily the most disappointing plate of nachos I've ever had. They actually made us angry. For $11, they gave us chips, not cooked or anything, straight out of the bag, with some of their beer cheese slathered on top, with a dash of real cheese here and there, a dollop of sour cream and three jalapenos. There wasn't even cheese throughout the stack, just at the top. For $11, these things should be solid, have (good) cheese throughout, and be warm at the very least. If a bar can't get down nachos, which are pretty damn basic, it's no wonder they're less than a quarter full on a Friday night.
This restaurant has closed. Tried to go for happy hour on a Friday at 5:30. Doors were locked and restaurant was empty
We were here to eat a day before they were closing. It was a one man team running the place, he did a great job considering all that was going on.
Amazing and friendly service. Would definitely go again!
Karaoke on Wednesday’s is amazing and the drinks are awesome. Trivia is always fun on Thursdays and the staff and DJ and Trivia host and patrons are always very cool.
The games were a pleasant surprise. Good food and beer too.
Went on a saturday night and it was very slow. It use to be a hot dance spot but not anymore. The game area is nice (Skee ball, pool, etc.)
My wife and I went here for a happy hour on a Tuesday, 6:30 ish. When we walked in I had to look to check the hours as the place was empty. We sat at the bar and a bartender brought drink and happy hour menus with a head nod. A few others straggled in but one man sat at a table and was told bar service only. Anyway, beer selection was good, DMV-centric, with option to sample. The $3.00 happy hour beers were limited to 3 "house beers" of unknown origin. Both of the ones we tried we pretty good. The other options on the beer list came in 5oz and 16oz sizes. We didn't order food, so can't speak to that - service was OK but took a bit of doing to get the clearly bored bartender's attention. By the time we left, there 5 other people there not including 2 very serious pool players in the back. We might be back, but the experience was a bit odd.
Good bar if you enjoy being completely alone

This is a cool space (stop reading if you only want to read positives). Poor service and uninspired sub-par food overall. It was nearly empty on a weekend afternoon/evening when NCAA tourney was on TV (no fun vibe). And, although it's definitely a beer place, in this day and age you need more than 4 different bottles of wine to offer. Not to mention you need napkins -- they'd run out somehow. Won't go back. Sorry Tapp'd.
Orange Moscow mules and pineapple Moscow mules were soooo good!!! The waffle fries and prez with beer cheese was also good apps with the drinks. Pool is free to play before I think it was 7pm. Watched the games close by TVs. Very nice bartenders!
Great craft beer selection. Mostly local brewers. good pizza and great service.
So fun! We played pool,took pics in the photo to booth and had some delicious shots. Our waitress was awesome too. For food, we are the hummus appetizer. It was great.
Good beer selection for moco. Plenty of TVs to watch the game on. Great chicken wings.
