Stopped over after a hot day at work, then I remembered the beers usually aren’t very cold. I had a pleasant surprise by the amazing bartender Brent, ice cold glasses ready for cold beers! Just what I needed after a long day!

The Tap has quickly become my go-to spot on this side of town! I love when I get this bartender Brent or Brett. Somehow he always serves the coldest beer of all the bartenders. I love how this bar has everything I want, or if they don’t, they do what they can to pull from the next door liquor store. I also have to give them props for having all the sports channels I want. The biggest tv doesn’t seem to be working when I’ve visited, but at least they have 3 others overlooking the bar that they’ll put games on (especially if you ask) and 1 to the side that often gets movies or sitcoms for the non-sports folk. Occasionally they’ll have the burger truck outside if you need a snack, and those burgers are legit! Definitely check out The Tap if you’ve been driving across town without knowing about this nice, under-the-radar watering hole. Everyone who serves drinks is cool, and the prices are pretty hard to beat.

This neighborhood bar is one of those rare spots that just feels right. It’s where people come together — to celebrate a birthday, catch up with friends, or just unwind with a drink and a laugh. Strangers don’t stay strangers long here.

The drink selection is impressive, with a surprising number of top-shelf options at prices that don’t make you think twice. Happy hour from 2 to 6 knocks a buck off draft beers and takes $2 off mixed drinks, which makes it even easier to settle in for a while.

The bartenders live nearby, and it shows. They know the regulars by name — and usually what they’re drinking before they even ask. It’s the kind of bar that feels like part of the neighborhood fabric, where comfort and good company come standard.

Not fancy, not loud — just easy, familiar, and always worth stopping by.

Nice cozy local spot. The bartenders are good, but it is small so it fills up a lot of nights.

Love Christina! She is the the sweetest server at this establishment. She calls us by our name and remembers our favorite drinks every time. She is the reason we come back. Thank you Christina! You make our day a better one.

Great neighborhood bar! Excellent service. Mel is the best. Does not have it's own kitchen, but has a very good food truck parked outside Thursday and Friday evenings, serving burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, nachos and similar fare.

My favorite neighborhood bar. I should say this to keep the crowd small! Fun and friendly with lots of jokes.
