You get an RFID card tied to your credit card, and you pay by the ounce based on what you pour. Seat yourself, scan the table QR code, verify it, and pull up the menu to order. Looks can be decieving. I started with several small 1-2 ounce pours which I took to my table. Both tasted off - like the glass still had soap/disinfectant or the tap lines haven't been cleaned. I thought Id turn to the food and revisit beers in a few. Once I scanned the QR code, it took a full 2 minutes to recognize it, then spun for a while before loading the table. I accidentally went back and had to start over. For an app based restaurant, you would expect open wifi; it required a password which I didn't see anywhere. When I finally pulled up the menu and ordered, the list was equally underwhelming. My dinner companion from work and I both ordered wraps, which for a low-interaction service setting were surprising high priced since they came with no sides - roughly $16 each - but sides like tots could be added for $4. Im going to guess, generously, that my buffalo chicken wrap had 1.5 to 2 tenders cut up in it. At least the fries didnt disappoint, but the tots had a weird chicken seasoning like coating. Bob - my dining company - has tried more than 180 IPAs based on his untapped app record. He tried 8 samples and couldnt find one that tasted good or right. I had a similar sampling. In the end, I decided to try Michelob Ultra - the beer with the least taste I could think of - and poured a few ounces in a plastic, disposable cup and a few in their glassware. I was hoping to identify the source of the sour, off-taste on ever line we tried. Although I still couldn't decide if the kitchen disinfectant or the tap lines were the source, I can say the two samples, tapped at the same time, tasted different. Neither was good. I had high hopes when I walked in. I wont be back.
