The lamb chops were seasoned deliciously and tender (medium). The chops were sided with mashed potatoes and sautéed asparagus. My drink was called "She's Back" which is very appropriate because I will be back. The sweet meets a little heat. The atmosphere and service were great for a nice Sunday evening. read more

Danielle's approach to customer service was disappointing and fell far below the standard expected in the restaurant industry. The service was slow, unprofessional, and lacked the attentiveness and care that customers should receive. Customer service is a critical part of the dining experience, and unfortunately, this interaction left such a negative impression that I would not recommend this restaurant or plan to return in the future. A welcoming, respectful, and efficient experience should be a priority, and this visit missed that mark. read more

We were immediately seated, however the wait time was over an hour for food and drinks despite the place being practically empty! The sweet chill wings were delicious, the Ramen was ok 5/10. The vibes/energy were nice! Music was good and the drinks were strong! read more

TAP 65 - Butter Masala Ramen - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The space is very charming. It's bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed with a top-tier aesthetic. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which added to the overall positive vibe. As for the food, it's a creative Indo-Western fusion concept that definitely caught my attention! I was especially excited to try the butter chicken ramen. While the flavors of the butter chicken were rich and well-executed, the ramen was underwhelming, because it just looks like it's Maruchan (instant noodles) making the dish feel a bit mismatched. The sides that came with the naan short rib sandwich aka tater tots has the same seasoning as another side dish (the debris fries), so there wasn't much contrast or variety in flavor. read more

Tap 65 is such a cool concept -- the self-pour beer wall makes it fun and interactive. The drinks themselves were perfection, and the food was just as great. The atmosphere is modern, relaxed, and a little trendy, and the service was excellent. The only downside is the pricing system. Since you're charged by the ounce, if your beer foams up or pours unevenly, you end up paying for the extra even if it's not your fault. It can add up quickly if you're not experienced at pouring draft beer. I think some kind of safeguard or system to prevent overcharges would make the experience even better. Overall, though, Tap 65 is a unique spot with delicious drinks, great food, and a vibe worth checking out. Just be careful with the pour! read more

WARNING: THIS IS NO LONGER AN INDIAN RESTAURANT. Tap 65 has a new owner, and they have completely redone the menu. It's now overpriced and uninspired. The decor is the same, and my service was great, but the menu was disappointing. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were very tasty, and the Holy Trinity Hen. It's so named because it's served over 3 sides: black butter beans, green beans, and summer squash... but they were missing the green beans and squash, and we weren't warned until the food was served. New menu hiccups are understandable, and they discounted the order, but they literally only have 6 entrees on the new menu! The hen's breast was dry but it had a nice crispy skin... very small for the menu price, but what other meat I could find was flavorful. The beans were over-salted, and that's saying something for us, we like salty food. Lastly, several of the taps were unfilled. I'll post the new menu, but here's one of the new "gems": The Not-a-gumbo. "Wild" shrimp (note that menus in LA are supposed to state whether shrimp are imported), Harissa tomato sauce, okra, "cheese", toasted bread, avocado. I applaud them for knowing that isn't a gumbo, but it sounds like it's not food either. Bottom line, this new owner bought a unique destination restaurant and turned it into a generic blah. The only reason we even ate was because we had a Groupon-type deal. I loved the old restaurant and only needed the deal to come out of my way. The new place might be good for someone who wants to sample a bunch of types of alcohol, but that's about it. read more

Nice date night. I booked reservations for 2 for 6:30 through open table. We arrived at 6:15 and were told to sit anywhere. I informed them of my reservations and asked if they could check me in so that I could reserve my points on Open Table. Otherwise, I don't think they would've worried about my reservation. There were only two parties inside. Outdoor has seating and is very nice. Our waitress was a friendly young lady. We decided on appetizers only. We started with nonalcoholic drinks. They were spritzers and pretty good. We were given a complementary bread and some type of dip that had a strong taste. I didn't really care for it. We ordered Mango wings, cauliflower, and shrimp and fries. Now everything was pretty good but a little too spicy for our palates. If you don't like spice I wouldn't recommend the food. We enjoyed the atmosphere and would probably return for drinks. read more

I enjoyed the whole experience. Laid back workers, great food and drinks, and nice atmosphere. Brunch menu was disappointing as it was very basic American. Luckily there was a restaurant week menu. Had lamb and fish curry. Both excellent. The vegan dessert was so damn good I was surprised it was vegan. Caf 65 was good coffee drink. House chai was also flavorful. Dig the vibe will be back. read more

This place is my new favorite spot! So many choices of self pour beer-use the flight size to try out a good selection before committing. The menu is a mix of "small bites" -- both warm and cold -- along with enticing entrées and desserts. You can tell the kitchen was trained--every bite is full of flavor and beautifully presented. Music's loud, crowd's fun, and the space looks like one of those trendy spots you see on Instagram. Service is great! Definitely somewhere I'd go back with friends. read more

I wanted to like this place. But when I got there, I was given a drink which was supposed to be under the happy hour discount but they charged me the full price. I ended up getting draft beer instead and my friend politely took the drink they had made. They charged him full price, but also charged my bank account full price for it after I already paid them cash for my draft beer and was nice enough to tip. The music was also loud and obnoxious. Overall integrity is a zero, try some place else. read more

Nice ambiance, I've come for two anime nights and it's great vibes. The service and food are good, there's a unique Indian twist on every item. The butter chicken ramen is a great example, so cool and unique. Everything I tried had a little spice at that sneaks up on you! One thing to note is that drinks are a little pricey for their size. read more

It's been sold off. Its unique spin of being an Indian restaurant alongside the beer concept is gone. It's still the same service model. Same lights, sounds, and architecture; it's just missing that one thing that made it unique. The food has been ruined. Overpriced, typical bar snacks you can find at 20 other places within a 10 minute drive. Pass. read more

I LOVE the design and vibe of this place!! They have a really unique style and I am here for it. I came here for brunch and tried both the "what came First" and the "Chicken and Biscuits". Both were absolutely amazing. Their fried chicken was so juicy and delicious (it did have a hint of spicy but I think even the most sensitive person to spice could handle this easily), the biscuits and gravy were perfect. I personally am not a big curry fan, but still wanted to try it and if you are a curry fan you will love the "what came first" brunch menu item! The espresso martini was not my favorite from here (and I love an espresso martini... except that one time I had to many and lost my whole wallet at the airport, but anyway) I most likely will have to try a different brunch cocktail next time I come back. They do have bottomless mimosas! The service was mostly good. When we first walked in no one greeted us and we stood there awkwardly for a good 5 minutes until someone finally came out. We weren't sure if it was self seating or a host would seat us, there were no signs suggesting to seat ourselves. When someone did come out they said we could sit anywhere (I'm assuming because it was fairly empty, just one large group in there and that was it). So still unsure if it's open seating or not but I'm thinking someone is supposed to seat you. Other than the initial walk in experience the staff was very friendly and overall did a great job! TAP 65: they have (I'm assuming) 65 taps, most of them beers ranging from lighter to craft as well as 9 of the 65 being dedicated to wine and seltzer taps. You can create your own flight of any 4 or just grab a larger glass and pour yourself your favorite tap! To drink from the Tap, you just tell them you want to , they basically leave your card open and give you a Tap card that you'll scan in order to pour and it will charge you by the amount you pour. Pretty easy to use and there's plenty to try from! This place offers both indoor and outdoor seating, although the inside is very cool, with their unique artwork on the walls. They also offer deals with private events if you're looking to do something for a special occasion! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and would love to come back to try some of their taps as well as their normal menu items! read more

This place was pretty cool. We only ate a couple appetizers. The nachos were so delicious! We went on a weeknight to have beer, and the beer wall is awesome. I think it was the owner that was there, she was very friendly and shared that they rotate the taps regularly. If you like to try different beers and ciders this is a fun spot to visit. It had a cool vibe and I loved the decor. The music was super loud and it felt weird since we were the only two people in there and had to yell to each other. But in general it was still a neat spot read more

This was my second visit to Tap65 and it really is a great alternative to your traditional Louisiana cuisine. This is definitely a place you want to add on your date night list and explore your taste buds. The Indian cuisine is flavorful and complex. We ordered the charcuterie board and it was good! The chutney, carrots, samosas, cashews..everything was good on the board! We tried a few cocktails and mocktails. The Chai Fashioned was a overall tasty cocktail. The Nonalcoholic Desi Tropics was refreshing. Our entrees were the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Chicken Sandwich. The chicken tikka masala is a great dish with a lot of flavor! It was very spicy, but paired with the naan helped tame the heat! The chicken sandwich was okay, the chutney spread was overpowering. We also ordered dessert, GULAB JAMUN CHEESECAKE! The presentation was beautiful, but it wasn't our taste. The cheesecake itself, along with the whipped cream was pretty good. It was the spiced saffron cake balls that I didn't care for. The purée was too bitter to eat. It could just be my palate. Otherwise, everything was good and the service was great! read more

Went back for restaurant week and was soooo disappointed that they didn't have the gulab jamun cheesecake. Not quite sure why since our reservation was at 530 pm on a weekday so felt like that could have been disclosed to us as soon as we got there. We decided to stay anyway. If you have to choose, go with the tater tot chaat, chicken tikka masala, and the mango mousse cake (if you like mango flavor). We were underwhelmed with the bengali hand pies & peri peri salmon. I liked the avocado dessert but my husband wasn't a fan. Of note as well, for a weekday, service was very slow. There were two points where we thought maybe they forgot our order because we saw others getting food before us. Nothing horrible but don't expect to get your meals quickly. read more

Horrible Indian food. I was expecting street food that tasted like street food from home but it was not even close but a failed attempt.

It's a cool place. Like getting to try all the different drinks on tap. Wasn't wowed by the food but it wasn't bad!

I would recommend this place for anyone looking to broaden their cuisine. The atmosphere is really nice and relaxing. I dined in the patio area which was really nice. There were no fans on the patio which I found odd but it was a pretty breezy night. The waitress was very friendly and the food came out pretty fast. I had the debris fries with short ribs which were amazing and the butter chicken ramen which was really good to say I've never had Indian food before. They also gave us this complimentary chip and sauce that I didn't really care for. We also tried the dessert I can't remember the name of it but it basically tasted like a lot of whipped cream and donuts and I didn't care for it. My friend had a grilled fish meal that I tried as well and didn't care for it at all but he liked it. Overall, I did have a pretty nice experience but I probably wouldn't go back. I would recommend giving it a try. read more

Welcome to the Mid City scene, Tap 65! A sister to Mid Tap over closer to LSU, Tap 65 carries the same concept of a beer tap wall with rotating taps. You receive a card upon entry if you plan to indulge, and the card links to your credit card. From there, you insert the card to the tap you want to try and pick your size pour. You're charged by the ounce. Beer not your thing? No worries... they have some delicious cocktails. I had the Dress to Empress, a gin drink with a beautiful lavender color. It was the most refreshing summer drink I could have imagined. I also tried some of my friend's chutney old fashioned, and wow, that one hit it out of the park. They also have a great wine selection, and the bartenders and servers will assist you in choosing something just right for you. Now, the food... oh that's an experience! The owners are of Indian heritage, and they have found a way to please your pallet with some delicious recipes. They certainly landed the right chef. I do not recall the name of the appetizer I had a bite of, but it exploded with flavor. (My friend described it as puffy rice balls to the server, and he knew what she meant!) The food alone is a reason to visit, and I look forward to learning more about the flavors used in Indian food as I enjoy future dinners, lunches, and weekend brunches there. But something that really makes the location stand out is the décor. From the colors to the lighted signs even to the bathroom, your eyes will be delighted. If you're looking for your next Instagram worthy photo, head over there and take it all in! They also have a large outdoor seating area that will likely be the place to be in the cooler weather months. I'm so thrilled to see this lovely couple make their way to Mid City, and I look forward to many future experiences! read more

TAP 65 - Dressed to Empress - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Indian food? In Baton Rouge? Absolutely, let's go! So one of my friends hit me up and wanted to try something different for dinner. An hour later, we ended up at Tap 65. Tap 65 is located on the corner of Government and Mouton with plenty of parking on the Mouton side. The restaurant has a really gorgeous interior, and has an ample amount of space. There's also outside patio seating that is very chic and trendy. I started out with the Desi Tropics, which is tequila based, while my friend got a frozen cocktail. They also have a tap wall with an assortment of beers on tap from the front of the restaurant to the back. We had the biting basket which consists of assorted papadum and fryums with green chutney and sweet and sour chutney. The flavor combinations of the chutneys were really good! I ordered the Rogan Gosh, which is goat (bone-in) with fried roti and garnished with cilantro yogurt chutney, and a side of fragrant jeera rice. My friend ordered the Butter Chicken Masala which comes with the jeera rice and buttered naan. The plating of each of these dishes was really nice. We ended the meal with the Gulab Jamun Cheesecake. The cardamom and saffron-spiced cake balls inside the cheesecake was a pleasant surprise and wasn't overwhelming at all. I'm not a big sweets eater but I'd definitely get it again. I can't wait to come back and try other options soon! Make sure you ask for Marcus behind the bar, he's very nice and gives great service and suggestions. read more

Shawn is HIM! Noah is the best! Each time I've visited Tap 65, the staff have gone out of their way to make us feel right at home with excellent customer service. I never would've thought I would be able to overcome a childhood food aversion to Indian food at a drinking destination. The attention and awareness to my trepidation to Indian cuisine was met with perfect drink and meal recommendations, detailed descriptions of the foods, and patient service. The manager is always present as well. Turns out I love Indian food! Walking in the decor is the definition of Instagram worthy. The music, seating arrangements, and lighting complete the look and lock in the vibe. It's beautiful, cozy, and artsy. I've never wanted to crack open a cold one and relax more. As always I started with drinks. To no-one's surprise they shine here. That's what they are, a taproom. Get yourself a Beer card and sample all of their wares. They have it all, shandies, IPAs, sours, wheats, you name it! It's like a theme park for beer drinkers. You will have the ultimate craft beer experience. This is the root of what they do! Their cocktails are great too. My favs are The Mango Dreamsicle, Frozen Lychee 75, Peach Satsuma Mule, some of the newer Fall drinks like the Pitzgerald and From the Patch. Hurry and try those while they are still available. The beers there were also great. Too many options to recommend just get that beer card! The food was fantastic. My favorite dishes are the Tater Tot Chaat Lamb Keema, Butter Chicken Masala, Puri, and the Malai Kofta with Lamb. Get everything with the Naan, everything. If you want some good drinks, chill scene, and a quality meal. This is your spot. read more

When you walk in, the restaurant looks really nice! There's a cute circular hole in the wall that's a good photo spot. I made a reservation in advance, but for a Friday night, they weren't too busy. There's serve yourself beer taps in the middle of the dining room. The menu is Indian. Personally, coupled with the aesthetics, the vibes of this place are a little confused. I wish they'd pick one thing and excel because I was unfortunately disappointed with the drinks (and so was most of my party). The service wasn't great. But, the food was good! read more

I would love to give a review but we were barely acknowledged in the ten minutes we were there. As parents of a new baby we tried to get away for a late night bite...8:45 to be specific. We entered the restaurant and although the host was standing there I had to practically wave my hand to get him to acknowledge that I asked for a table for 2 or was even standing there. We opted for a seat at the bar vs the patio (only ones given to us) although there were empty tables in dining. We sat at the bar for ten minutes with no one offering a drink, water, menu, special...nothing. It very much reminded me of the racial profiling Denny's conducted in the 1980's. That was the last time I remember going to dine somewhere and being ignored completely. read more

Wow. So disappointed. I loveddddd the old menu and vibes. Tried the new management tonight and wow. So so disappointed. Service was terrible. We got an appetizer and left quickly after.

My husband and I decided to try Tap 65 for the first time for restaurant week. Our server was super sweet and helped out a lot when it came to deciding what to order. Everything we ordered was good, but my absolute favorites were The Cure cocktail, the naan bread (that came with the Buttered Chicken), & the Gulab Jamun cheesecake! I don't know how to describe the Cure other than it came it a really cute glass, it tasted great, and I had a nice little buzz off if it, the naan bread was to die for, literally the best naan I've ever had, & the cheesecake was SO good, I loved the cake balls inside of it, so creative!

Please be cautious eating here if you have food allergies! I ordered butter chicken, when the food came l out I bit into shrimp before I realized what it was. I immediately spit it out but the damage was already done. I am severely allergic to shellfish and never thought that "butter chicken" would have shrimp in it. In my 16 years of having this allergy, this has NEVER happened to me before. So as we were trying to leave the restaurant so l can go get medical attention, as my throat and tongue were starting to swell up, the sever (don't remember his name) given my boyfriend the iPad to pay for the food! Food that was currently killing me, and food my boyfriend hadn't even had the chance to touch! The manager comes out and takes the butter "chicken" off the ticket but still tries to charge for the other meal, while I am having a medical emergency and need to leave, which was explained to him. Finally, the manager says we don't have to pay anything and apologized for what happened. Then he said the person making the food doesn't speak any English. Which is fine, but the restaurant should have better methods in place of communicating and making sure that orders come out correct, because that accident was completely avoidable but could have killed me. I spent my Friday night in the ER on monitors and was given epinephrine until the reaction subsided. Needless to say, that was my first and last time at Tap65. I do not recommend and I won't be going back. read more
