I have wanted to try this place since we went to the market the first time. I do like a Farmer's Market with a place to have a nice drink. On the second floor, they have a cute little bar with fun wooden tables to sit at and an outdoor spot, which is where I ended up to sit. It looks like they have music and maybe games sometimes. Not sure what events they do, but it looks like an event space. The people working here were alright, nothing too crazy as far as friendly, but pleasant enough. I had a nice orange IPA that hit the spot. I am not sure what the prices were for the cocktails, but not too bad for beer. I would come back again and hang out for some drinks. read more

Up in flint for the night and very pleased to come across market tap. Very clean and well decorated, good music and vibes up here! On the second floor of the farmers market. Indoor bar with a couple TVs, and rooftop/outdoor seating when it's warm out (not while I'm here unfortunately) with a great view of the little city. Drinks are fairly priced and the bartender is nice. Someone is here serving up some food too! read more

Market Tap - Lavender mule and orange spicy margarita - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Flint, Michigan

This is a cool little pub in downtown Flint. When you are done perusing the stalls at the Flint Farmer's Market, venture upstairs for a pint at the Market Tap. The micro brew tap list was extensive, with a solid list of beers from across Michigan. We were delighted to see a range of offerings from sours to porters, and ended up with a flight paddle. The prices were very reasonable and the selections were great. Service was prompt, and (luckily) seating was available just outside the doors to the marketplace. The inside seating of the taproom was quite packed on the beautiful December Saturday. The market and the taproom are worth a trip when visiting downtown Flint. We will be back! read more

Market Tap at the Flint Farmers' Market is one of my favorites, choosing to carry only Michigan spirits, wines and drafts. There is no food service, but you are welcome to bring your own, which there is plenty to choose from at the market. At times, the Tap features events with particular food vendors, which is a great way of trying new flavors. Of course, the Tap is open beyond days and hours of the market, so plan accordingly! When it comes to bar service, Mackenzie does an excellent job as mixologist, I've thrown her a few curveballs and what she produces is always great. The crowd consists mainly of regulars, which gives this place a great "Cheers" feeling, but still welcoming to newcomers. Added bonus during the summer is the view from the balcony, which is a great place to sit with friends and enjoy a cooling beverage. read more

Good luck getting in after market hours if you are disabled, especially if you use a wheelchair. Also there are no low tables in the whole area so the disabled seating is non existent. This was the case 4 months ago when it was mentioned to management and bartender and it is still the case today. read more

What a welcome sight at the market. This is a great addition to the downtown area. The view at the top is incredible. Sitting up here drinking a cold beer on a warm day is a good way to spend a Saturday evening, watching everything in the city from a view that I can't get anyplace else in Flint. Location, location, location! The location is perfect- it's right in the center of downtown where most everything fun in this city happens. Nice variety of dark lagers and hard ciders. The prices are on par with other local bars. I grabbed a mix and match six pack to go for $24, which was a really good price. They had Founders Dirty Bastard, Bean Flicker, Centennial IPA, and Lake Bros Lager, all of which I tried and enjoyed. Bean Flicker was great- it has a slight coffee flavor to it, subtle and authentic. I also thought the Centennial IPA was a nice option if you like a really good middle ground IPA, which I do. It was a more than respectable entry in an already-crowded IPA market. I have to say, this bar is so nice, it must be quite the enjoyable distraction for all of the MSU med school and UM-Flint students across the street since the campuses are so close by. The only bad thing about this bar is that it isn't open every night. I haven't minded that they don't have a food program because I can bring up takeout from the market downstairs or the food trucks outside, so it doesn't matter that they don't have a food menu. read more

Market Tap - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Flint, Michigan

The city's only rooftop bar. You heard me, Flint now has a rooftop bar, located on top of the Flint Farmer's Market. I was quite surprised to see this new addition, and since I love craft beer, I absolutely knew that I had to take a peek. It's great, even though it's still in the early phases of ironing out all the kinks. They have a nice selection of beers on tap, including some really great ones like Brewery Vivant's Belgian Dark Ale (highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a robust, full-bodied dark beer), New Holland and Founder's, which just so happens to be my favorite. The main focus is on craft beers, Michigan brews in particular. In fact, I believe they currently have 14 Michigan draft beers. I liked that. While the focus is on craft beers, they are a full-service cocktail bar, featuring a decent wine and cider selection, as well as premium spirits. The service is friendly and the ambiance is so outrageous. It's a rooftop bar with outdoor seating featuring a panoramic view of the downtown skyline. What's cooler than sitting on the rooftop enjoying a Michigan-produced craft beer while watching the traffic and pasersby down below. The view is really nice, better than I thought it would be. The prices are on par with other local downtown establishments, so it's not a place where you're going to be downing $3 chuck or $2 well drinks all night, but those types of places are few and far between these days. If that's what you're into, this obviously won't be your thing, but if you like craft beer, you'll probably enjoy Market Tap as much as I did. Unfortunately, they're only open three days per week, but they are open longer than traditional farmer's market hours. Maybe that will change down the line. read more

Market Tap - Craft beer at Market Tap. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Flint, Michigan

This place is terrific, they have an inspired selection of Michigan beer varieties; combined with the Flint farmers market, I can't believe this place is not 5 stars across the board. read more

I really like this place but their lack of regard to the ADA is incriminating. We've requested a low table or seat inside on five different occasions. Came by today hoping they gave a f@@k and put one in but unfortunately they haven't. They have great draft beer and the bartender is really nice. Every time she tells the owner to get an accessible table inside.... unless she's playing us all. Anyway when it's actually warm you can sit outside at low tables on the balcony. Guess they only think disabled people need to drink when it's summer and not raining. Remember that time I got caught outside drinking in the rain and nobody gave a sh@t or tried to pull in a table for me because they were nice and dry inside? That was until the owner of a local establishments saw me and dragged a table in for me and made people move. Sorry about the rant.... I guess the moral of the story is no one should support a business who doesn't like disabled people. I'm hoping this gets the attention of the owner and he might rectify it. read more

Best place to drink downtown, in my opinion! This was exactly what the Farmers' Market needed. You will not find a more beautiful space to spend a summer evening. Their drink selection is phenomenal, especially if you're a craft beer fan. If you're not into beer, Jackie is happy to mix a custom cocktail for you made with Michigan spirits. I believe they also have wine! On Thursday nights they have been having a rotating food vendor from the market sell their food during evening hours. It's fun to be able to try something new, or an old favorite, while having drinks on the patio. Speaking of the patio - WOW! It's absolutely gorgeous (and would be a great place for a wedding, wink wink!). They have some board games inside that you can grab if you're having a drink with friends. read more

I visited Market Tap for the first time today with my mom and dad. We all really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to coming back again. It is located on the rooftop of the farmer's market. They had 14 beers on tap today and had a list of other beers that they had in cans/bottles. I had a Short's Power of Love. There is an indoor and an outdoor area. We sat outside and listened to the band that was playing down at the farmer's market. It was a great place to sit outside and relax in the sun. The servers were very nice as well. Only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that they do not serve any food. You can bring food up from the vendors downstairs though. read more

Market Tap - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Flint, Michigan

Probably my favorite bar in downtown Flint. The draft and can/bottle list is always changing, leaving tons of opportunity to try new brews. The bartender is always ready with a recommendation and is super friendly and helpful whenever I visit. And none of that takes into account the location: being able to sit out on the patio and look out at downtown Flint is a major plus, as is the abundance of food options at the market. In addition, there's a variety of games to play with friends available inside the bar. Don't pass up an opportunity to give the Marlet Tap a try. read more

Awesome view and tap selection. Plenty of food trucks below and great service! Has early happy hour and TVs and outside patio.

Enjoyed our afternoon at the market. Stoped in for a beer. First time my husband was there. They have a nice selection of tap and bottle beer. We really enjoy the outside roof top patio. Fun to just to relax and enjoy the shopping and music of the farmers market. Service is friendly and price was real reasonable. read more

The bar itself is very nice and pretty, a very nice patio with a fire to sit around. The drinks aren't very good I've had almost everything on the menu. They just look and sound like they are good but they taste pretty nasty. The shots are cool but every bar has shots the cocktails tasted disgusting it's not even that they're strong they literally just don't taste good. HI've only went in the day time so maybe that's why, but I didn't have the same experience with the bartender that everyone else did. She really didn't say much the whole time I was there and she told me I could sit on the patio but acted annoyed every time I would ask her to please light another fire or another one of those heater things standing up next to the tables. It was pretty cold out so idk why she wouldn't have lit them all at once but okay. She didn't interact with us at all then she acted funny when I only tipped $10. Won't be back but it is a very pretty bar! Nice music too read more

Amazing spot! It was my first time in this area, but heard really good things! The bartender, Jackie, was great! She was super helpful despite it being busy. She also made some of the best drinks I've had! Will come back! Super nice environment too. read more

Flint's only rooftop bar, a great addition to downtown. They've definitely been improving service and hours since opening a few months ago. The beer selection is good, a lot of local craft beers which you would expect being on the second floor of one of Michigan's largest and most active farmers markets. The only downside is that they do not have any food, but they have had a Vehicle City Tacos pop up before. Highly recommend for good drinks and a good view. read more
