This bar is so fun!! I love the concept that you pour your own drinks and pay per oz because I love sampling different stuff and sometimes don't want to be committed to one big or expensive drink. I sampled a fruit beer, a cocktail on tap, and wine! They had games to play and fun music on, and just a super cute atmosphere and decorations. The staff were very helpful and we had a great time!

Tapster is such a fun, welcoming, and innovative twist on a bar. The owner taught me how to pour my own beer from a tap! 10/10 recommend going here!!!

The concept is great and staff very friendly. It can be very loud if crowded. A few acoustical panels would make a huge difference.

Awesome spot to hang out. You can bring your own food. They have a couple shuffle boards and it makes for a great time with friends.

Don't want the bar scene, but would like a cold drink with friends or need a quiet place to hangout for while? Tapster is a wonderful meet-up place. You bring the food or order from the list of shops nearby, or buy the munchies here. Load a card with $10, and in small glasses try the beers, wines and cocktails, and non-alcoholic beers on tap. Play pool or bring games to play. Certain nights have trivia, shuffle board tournaments, or board games. Jorden, the owner, is excited for this social concept. He saw a Tapster in Chicago's Lincoln Park, and wanted to bring it to CLE. I think this place is neat. Jorden talks about his place and the many plans for it. I attended a small company function here. We brought in pizza from next door, and tried the beers on tap. Lots of tables were available. Some people played pool. Lots of parking is in the rear. Enter from the front or back door. Come in to Tapster, a tasting room.

Don’t mind the lack of photos in this review. We stopped in for the first time after clients of ours recommended this place and we stopped in after grabbing dinner next door and in no way shape or form we’re disappointed.The concept is wonderful! I truly hope to see this business model grow and expand beyond Lakewood. The owner was awesome—we explained that it was our first time and he walked us through the entire process.I also love that they host a variety of events throughout the week from shuffle board tournaments to trivia nights. Although it as our first time it definitely won’t be our last! If you’re looking for an awesome place to grab a drink or even have a date night 20/10 recommend! We’ll be back again soon!

If you like beer and live in Lakewood, or even the Cleveland Area, please come here. It's the perfect way to try new beers and broaden your horizons. Entirely self-service so you don't have to wait for bartenders (unless you're getting a cocktail) and you can try as little of a beer or as much as you want. Unique concept, I had a great time!If you're mentally 12 years old and easily bored like I am, the board games and swings will definitely keep you entertained. Not that you should go swinging like crazy, it's not a playground, but definitely whimsical and fun to not have to stay still! Cute decor and very relaxed vibe. Spoke to one of the owners and he was super nice and incredibly knowledgeable.
Love everything about this place. I've been 3 times and every single time they have different things on tap. I love that I can go there on a Wednesday and try 5-6 different beers, then go there on Friday and try ones that weren't there 2 days ago. It's so easy to use and loved the chill atmosphere.

Super chill place to stop and grab a drink on your way to or from the great restaurants on Detroit. Really good variety of beers and also wine and cocktails on tap and such a cool novel way to sample and enjoy different drinks.

This place is awesome! We made a same day reservation for a birthday party and they were accommodating and so welcoming. A sweet vibe where you can bring your own food in and experience a variety of drinks and flavors. Highly recommend!

way too expensive for what you get. no pint of beer should be $10+. just go to a normal bar and get the beers you want to try and save your money
