    The food was very good. Big portion, I couldn't finish it (although I wanted to)…read more The server was slammed, but she was as attentive as she could be. The front desk at my hotel recommended The Tap, and I was a little taken aback by how divey it was. Very early '70's bar. Dark, with lots of locals.

    Very very disappointed. I ordered the famous Nachos and added cheese the total for that order was…read morearound $17 I even added "instructions" after reading some comments about people getting orders literally plain with nothing on it. I literally put "extra jalapeños with everything on it please" on the extra instructions and I even called and asked for extra salsa (to be able to mention I added those extra instructions so my nachos would for sure have everything on it) The order was dropped off and my nachos were plain dried up shredded chicken with just cheese nothing else. I also ordered the Chilli Relleno burrito and chili Colorado Burrito. The only good burrito was the Chili Relleno.. the other one had a sweet flavor to it and seemed too salty as well I heard really good things about this place and I've ordered from here before last time I was in ELP and I remember the order being pretty good.. I honestly just wanted to try a different item this time and it was a big mistake. That was def a waste of money I just spent tonight. Very disappointed. Won't be coming here ever again.

    It's listed as a dive bar. But frankly, it's clean and bright. So as I define "dive" - this was not…read moreit. It is small and the liquor selection is beyond limited. So that may be the reason it's listed a a dive bar. If you want a bourbon and Coke or a vodka seven then by all means this is your place. If you want something that requires more than 2 ingredients...keep walking. The drinks were cheap. But really poorly made. My wife asked for a Colorado bulldog. She had been talking about getting one forever. Not only did the bartender have to Google the recipe but he had no coffee liquor and subbed Baileys...uh, ok. My Top shelf vodka martini was half Tito's and half well. I watched him poor it...and I watched him water it down with something from the Coke shooter. You know they aren't keeping Tito's vodka or vermouth in there. There's a jukebox and tiny dance floor but I see more folks just bellying up to the bar here than grooving out on the dance floor. It seemed more a cruise bar and an all day hang out for regulars.

    First time here. LGBTQ+ "friendly" with emphasis on the…read morequotes. Pros: not too crowded; decent prices; good music playing on the juke box second drink order didn't take as long as the first Cons: no pool table; no darts; Had to ask twice to be closed out before I got my card back and actually closed out. Waited close to 15 min before I was served but only about 14 people total present at the the time of order. Closer to 20 people now (second drink order took less than 5 min extra points for sure!!!!); the regulars here seem close knit and that's awesome! However, I've been here for about an hour and 10 maybe 15 min and each time I interacted with the one bartender-the one that was serving "other-than-regulars--'" and I still feel like the straight person that "doesn't belong." I'm not straight. On a scale of one to five where 1 is the worst "dive" I've been to so far and 5 being the "best" dive I've been too, I gave this place a 2 but I think it would be a 3 if I was still a local and never played pool, darts, or been too a dive where an anon gets the same service as a reg but that's that. I've never been treated like the "unwanted" straight guy either so that was weird... maybe it's an off night. I might come back one more time. MIGHT!!!
