Looking for this place, we almost missed it -- Waze led us to the recycling place next door, and we…read morethought they went out of business ( nope -- going on 9+ years). Turns out they're right next door, tucked back a bit from the roadway so easy to miss you and when you're sober. Glad I noticed it as we were driving off, as it's a great taphouse with a large number of beers on draft, in excess of 20 I believe. Service is very gracious, and you don't have to commit to official tasters, they're willing to pour you a little splash of several beers for you to figure out what it is you'd actually like to taste. That said, we opted to do an official flight of four IPAs, one of which was a hazy. All pretty interesting; ended up ordering a pint of one of them to share. Like a lot of tap rooms, they use the app DigitalPour to list their beers so you can check them out online if you like. We'll probably be back again. We didn't order any food while we were there, but what we smelled, and looked at appeared to be pretty good. If we hadn't had such a large breakfast earlier at our hotel, we probably would've taken a flyer on something off their food menu; maybe next time.

I went here on a first date and I have to say this place was the perfect wingman! Small but perfect beer menu and the cozy, hipster atmosphere was perfect for an intimate conversation. I love that you can get comfortable in the living room or play board games while sitting close on one of the couches. If the weather is nice you can also step outside onto their clean and comfortable patio for a conversation under the stars. A unique, amazing bar that I'd recommend to anyone visiting the Salem area or passing through. One of the coolest places I've ever had the pleasure of visiting and I'd highly recommend to anyone who loves beer and great conversation!

The rudest bartender I've ever encountered in my life genuinely. Asked for a white claw or…read moreequivalent and was told "we don't do that here", despite there being "hard seltzer" on the menu board. Asked for whatever they would recommended and got a cider that was on tap, only for my coworker ask for the same thing 10 min later and receive a can of whatever brand of hard seltzers they carry. So apparently you do do that here.

I've met some really chill people here. That said, the experience is pretty hit or miss. A couple of the bartenders can be unfriendly toward certain people, which definitely affects the atmosphere. The food is okay, but a bit overpriced for what you get. Overall, the place has potential, but your experience really depends on who's working and what kind of crowd you walk into.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. They told me they make their own vanilla syrups and roast their own coffee beans. After some quick back and forth, the worker recommended I try their eggplant shakshuka and their iced shaken cappuccino. Both were phenomenal! I honestly am counting down the days til I get to be back in the area for that shaken cappuccino again! The subtle flavor notes from their roasted beans really shines through and is balanced by the cream they use. The eggplant shakshuka was also great. It wasn't too spicy but it was a lot of flavor with each bite. I was so into the sauce that I almost forgot to save some to eat with the toasted baguette slices that came with the plate! Can't wait to go back to try other stuff!

Of note was the pork chop entree, with the pork sourced from a local farm. The pork was unbelievably tender, practically the pork equivalent of wagyu. The fat was rendered out perfectly and the chop had a smoky char, the tomato and onion sauce over the top cut through the fattiness and balanced the dish perfectly. The pork chop itself is worth traveling out of your way for, and the squid ink pasta and salmon smoked on a wood board are also highlights. The Cozy Taberna lives up to its reputation as one of the best restaurants in Salem.
