This…read morelegendary bar was recently renovated with an upstairs hotel, but it did not ruin its old fashioned charm. This bar mostly consists of an older crowd (60s and 70s). Bartender was very friendly with fast service. I think its cash only (didnt see anyone paying with credit cards). I sat at the end of the bar next to the wide open windows and it was very pleasant enjoying a beer while feeling the nice cool breeze from outside. They also have a backyard patio. Although the jukebox appeared to be broken, bsckground music was mainly 60s doo wop. Beer prices were about $6 a pint which I would not call cheap, but not too expensive either. No food is served here and I am not sure if they allow outside food either. I should have asked.

Tap That sits on Rockaway Beach Boulevard, a major east-west thoroughfare on the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, NYC. Rockaway Park, Queens hold nostalgia for me as my now defunct high school sits opposite on this same street. The school is defunct, but the building still exist. I walked the dead end street of my former high school leading to the boardwalk and beach. I patronized Tap That on a very high intense muggy humid late August afternoon. I was hoping the geographic location proximity to the ocean the atmospheric temperature would be cooler, but it was hotter than the blazes of abject hell and damnation. Yelp mobile enable find Tap That, is a beer bar with self-serve taps charged by the ounce, a pub for New American cuisine. The self-serve taps are monitored with a card reader provided that measures the amount of alcohol poured to correctly charge customers. The beer tap card contains step-by-step instructions with sketch drawing depicting how to correctly self-pour. Customer must activate this beer tap card to pour. The server/cashier explain and guide customers the process. Customer service is attentive who take the time for patience without producing the standard rude scowl look of localized nuisance. Ergo, customers are their own bar tender for beer and wine of selection and amount of intake control. The beer selection are: Lager, Guinness Stout - Irish dry, German malts, Belgian ale, New England Pale Ale, IPA - Sour, Stout - Imperial, and cider semi sweet. Wine selection and cocktail for self-serve taps are: Sparkling Rosé, Red Blend, White Blend, Red Sangria, and Lime Margarita. I am grateful the alcohol self-serve tap selection includes wine and Margarita for inclusion. My brain is biased toward "on the tap" concept for beer. Glasses are available for self-serve of pilsner beer glass, wine tumbler glass, and standard beverage glass. The wall label displays the drink name with ABV range, and geographic region origin. There is a large outdoor patio. There are large windows which a staff member opened, disappointedly escaping the cool indoor air conditioning allowing the muggy high humidity to blanket the bar. I felt very uncomfortably warm while sitting at a high chair of a small high table. My table contained a pack of cards. My desiderium is to absorb the coolness of indoor air conditioning. A credit card is required to open a tab is mandatory as "incremental pre-authorization" before the self pour begin and before any food can be ordered preventing customers to intentional skip the bill. This business practice, is possibly, to prevent another infamous NYC self-styled food influencer "dine-and-dash diva," as late 2025 for ordering expensive meals at select targeted locations of upscale New York City restaurants who deliberately refusing to pay the bill. There is a undisclosed mandatory credit card surcharge 3.00% affixed to the bill upon payment which is utterly frivolous. At each table contains card or board games to keep customers entertained. There is live music for entertainment on select evenings. Decorum is simple with low hanging warm yellow string lighting. C.T. style lobster roll $35.00 Yelpers praised the lobster roll which I have never had and never tried despite of reading this concoction which originated Milford, Connecticut. It was served warm, freshly shucked lobster meat immersed in melted butter on a top split New England bun. Wow! This concoction is localized in North American dish. I have a strong proclivity for Connecticut lobster roll as I prefer warm and butter than Maine serves the lobster cold and mixed with mayonnaise. It was served with a small bag of Cape Cod kettle cooked potato chips. The lobster roll was very good, however, I did not have any prior knowledge the average extortionate price. Oh! One Connecticut lobster roll market average prices typically range from $25.00 to $35.00 for standard sizes which now I am acutely aware. One's food taste and predilection lifestyle interest exceeds the wallet for finances. I'm a foodie. Jam'n Red Sangria, Rioja, Spain, ABV 12.5% I have self poured on the tap less than .25 ounce and was charged $4.50. My pour was good taste. I did enjoyed this Sangria. I am NOT an alcoholic as many people were mislead to believe or erroneously to think as one's preceived false belief. Business cards are available for grabs upon request only. Business cards appeared to be printed on three (3) cardstocks to be 170 lb. thickness for weight. Tap That features a donkey as their business logo. Free WiFi is available at "Stop Waiting Start Pouring" without password required. I did obtain my sales receipt. Restroom facility is relatively clean. Menu is obtained by the nuisance of QR scan code.

It was so lively with full bar and seating. There was a DJ in the back. If you continue walking, you'll bump into the pool in the back. They had cabanas and poolside chairs. With the DJ, it just gave me Miami or Vegas vibes! I proceeded to the rooftop which was another incredible experience! Staff were great and welcoming.
