Anything but your typical chippewa bar. As others have stated , this is definitely your quintessential "Cheers" bar and if you become a regular everyone will know your name. Each member of the staff is friendly, gracious and attentive. They have an excellent selection of ice cold beers on tap (hence the name) and I can never have just one. Beyond the drinks, this place has slowly become one of my top wing destinations in the city. With wings I have four critical categories: size, crispness, sauce and the consistency on which these can be delivered. Their wings have hit on all three without fail, and if you like heat this is definitely the place for you. Cajun got gets cajun seasoning before being sauced in franks and hits the perfect combination of heat and flavor for me. Cajun BBQ is another very solid choice along with the standards. Again, as others have stated the men's room does need a complete reno, but hey it's a bar and after a few Scotch Ales you'll no longer mind it. read more

I absolutely love any kind of bar/tavern that feels like a dimly lit hole in the wall drinking spot. When I walked into tap house for the first time, I fell in love with the definite pub feel. A couple of things did not impress me..There were no beer specials, the fried pickles were not great, and there was only one bartender on. Although the place wasn't too busy, a bunch of guests were talking to the bartender about their bills and prices and she got very caught up doing that while tending the bar AND serving the tables of people. It was a bit hectic. If I was in the neighborhood, I would definitely stop by again for a beer. It wouldn't be my first place of choice to go, but the vibe/atmosphere is definitely that good pub feel. read more

This rating is for the fun and overall atmosphere. It is still a pub, so don't expect gourmet. Expect great pub fare. Great neighborhood pub. Great drinks and good food. A must when I am seeing friends and family while in Buffalo. read more

What a great place. We were in town for the night. We wanted to find a good place to stroll along and try out the local night life. We stopped here first and never left! The food was excellent. The dry rub wings and battered onion rings were amazing. The atmosphere in this place was very relaxing, laid back, neighborhood hangout. We met some wonderful locals. My favorite was Chewy the Brussels Griffon;) He recommends the pizza logs by the way. We happened to be there for Trivia night. It was a great time. The bartender:) I can't say enough about Dan. He was just a really nice guy. Great to talk to and so funny. He reminded me of Rob Schneider:) Great place! read more

Stopped in for drinks during a Buffalo Pedal Tour. Bar tender was cool, made a good mixed shot, and moved fast--love that! The outdoor patio is really great too. I can't believe I haven't stopped in here! Sometime I'll have to give their bar food a shot. read more

31 beers on tap and great food! The steak sub was like no other. A big piece of perfectly cooked steak provolone and lightly cooked onions and green pepper with waffle fries. Now that's a lunch that hits the spot! read more

Tap House is my sanctuary when I come to town. They have a great selection of beers and great food at a reasonable price. The bartenders are super friendly and the overall atmosphere is perfect! read more

This place only gets 5 STARS because Mark is the best bartender in Buffalo hands down. Ownership is very lucky to have him & they should give him a percent of the business. The smell in the mens bathroom needs to get fixed asap. read more

One of my favorite Buffalo bars. You have to go on Thursday when they have live music. I went with a group of my friends around 10 or 11 and we didn't go home until near closing time because we had so much fun. It's a quaint, clean, lovely space with fantastic service. The drinks are great and are a good price. The people there are also HILARIOUS. It's more of an older crowd (30s and up) but man, those people can party. I once seen a guy stand up on the bar and pounding stuff to the beat of that iconic Irish band. read more

The best wings in Buffalo. Make sure you ask for them to be extra-crispy. Huge beer selection and surprisingly large liquor selection.

Dan was our server and bartender he was awesome the food was great it came out in like 6 minutes the beer was awesome I had the Indian Pale Ale and my husband had the peanut butter chocolate porter beer and afterwards we sat out on the patio and enjoyed the sunlight. Now as far as price goes not as cheap as everybody claims it to be but it was well worth it for a day date with my husband. If you ask my opinion will we be returning of course we will. The service was awesome and fast Dan was on top of it.. so far it was our favorite Pub in Buffalo. Don't forget her name's Dan Shelley and Ben... See ya soon.... read more

Excellent beer choices! Most taps I've seen downtown. Relaxed pub vibe and the wings are amazing! Awesome Seafood on Monday read more

Buffalo Tap House - Din din! - Pubs Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This is my new favorite bar in Buffalo. Ever since the Century Grill closed I've been lost when I come to town. Tap House Pub & Grill is where you want to go when you're looking for a low key, not trashy, down-home bar. The bartender was friendly and quick to pour your next beer, the burgers were surprisingly excellent, and the bar conversations with staff and patrons was very fun and welcoming. The last star is for it being one of the best values on Chippewa St. read more

Thanks to a good Yelp review and photos of a full-sized stuffed buffalo on that site, my friend and I showed up for some late night wings. We were excited--the atmosphere seemed cool, lots of beers on tap, good location, and we were hungry. And then it went downhill. The lady behind the bar was apparently the owner. She had a staff on hand of zero. It was just her. No one else. So it goes without saying that the service was awful. But making matters worse, she was happily doing shots with patrons, getting herself drunk while other customers were desperately waiting for orders. Customers like us, who waited 30 minutes for wings, followed up, and were told that she had forgotten to put our order in. To make up for it, she rushed our order after that except when they came out the wings were cold. We also ordered something called pizza logs or something like that and not only were they cold but when we got back to our hotel room, they gave us the logs if you know what I mean. And on top of it all, the full-sized stuffed buffalo was nowhere to be found. Partying ownership, short staffed, bad service, cold food, post-night "logs" and no stuffed buffalo. So awful. read more

Seriously the best wings I've ever had. An amazing vibe where you feel welcome which is saying a lot for being on chip. Great place for friends darts and drinks read more

The parmesan wings were amazing! So many great draft beer choices. What a hidden gem!!

We order through Skip at least once a month at work. The food is always good and cooked perfectly. I can't say enough about the onion rings. Perfectly crispy even in the to go container. I haven't had the pleasure of dining in yet but if the to go is any indication I need to make plans to go. read more

Terrible service. Kitchen closed early after we called and asked what time they served good till. The female bartender was saying inappropriate things to the other female guests that just arrived. It didn't have many spots sit to eat, not that it mattered because magically when we arrived the kitchen was closed at 950. But hey that didn't stop the bartender giving us a menu to look at @945 to be told no 5 minutes łater. read more

Best burgers in Buffalo! I've been coming to Tap House for a while now and finally tried their burger. It was literally the beer burger I've ever had! Perfectly cooked! I have a new guilty dinner spot now! Thanks for the great work Steph! read more

This place has a great chill vibe and not too crowded on a Friday. The patio chairs are amazingly comfortable. Service 3-4 stars, but the venue is 4.5 stars as a pub. The music is all 80's 90's hits, awesome. I wish all pubs were this authentic and relaxing! read more

Decent beef on weck. Beef was well done but good flavor and the roll was good(if you don't like caraway). Beers were quite pricey for the the place and location. $8 for a Southern Tier IPA? With a little effort could be a lot better read more

The service was terrible. Sooo slow. We waited over 40 minutes for our food which was not that good. Then sat waiting for our bill. Cash only.... I mean I can't even think of a positive. read more

The Taphouse has a great bar atmosphere and really good beer selection on tap. Unfortunately, the food was not to the level the bar was. Ordered their special buffalo clams casino and when served the clams inside were cold. I respectfully asked to have them heated back up and they apologized. I said no worries and when they came back out, they were cooked great and tasted good - never had clams casino buffalo style before. Also had their Greek chicken salad which had horrible pita bread, but was sub par as far as Greek salads go (guess that was my bad for ordering a salad in a pub though). Anyway, they did give me a half dozen free clams casino because of the temp problem...I shared with other bar mates as I was too full after the salad and dozen clams. All in all, good bar, maybe just off visit on the food. read more

Lame. Weird vibe. All male patrons. Very warm beer. Cant speak for food, didn't eat. Maybe I just missed the good Night crowd.

I was in Buffalo on business, and I have to tell you I LOVE this bar. I was in town for 3 nights and kept coming back. The food is great, the atmosphere is awesome and the bar tenders are the BEST. Dan and Mora are two of the most wonderful people you will ever meet. I can't wait to come back to see them. The steak salad is HIGHLY recommended. Go check them out! read more

The best wings anywhere, bar none. Fresh, moist, buttery, Frank's Red Hot goodness!!! I eat a lot of wings on the road, these are the ones all the others aspire to be. All that and a great bartender (Mark) and a fantastic, albeit somewhat warm, beer selection. read more

We attempted to visit the tap house on July 16 and it was unexpectedly closed. No lights, no sign, nothing. So once again we went yesterday July 30 and we experienced the worse service I have ever had in my life. The blonde female bartender was extremely unfriendly and had a major attitude as if we the customer were keeping her from her phone. We had an issue with redeeming a voucher and she would not even discuss the options she just denied the request for usage. One of the owners who happened to enter at the time approved the use of the vouchers but when we went to order she literally threw her phone on the counter and marched off and ignored us mumbling something under her breath from the other end of the bar. Unfortunately the situation further escalated on both sides and there was no satisfactory resolution. We asked to contact an owner to resolve the issue and were provided a bogus phone number. We have attempted to contact the owner but he had not returned our call. No wonder there were only 2 other tables of patrons in this bar. Good customer service is a must and she had absolutely none. So sorry for them , we are not underage Chippewa patrons we are adults who have frequented many places over the years and unfortunately this was the bottom of the barrel. read more
