Who writes a Yelp review for a bar in the airport? I do. It is so worth it. Most passengers look for a bar inside an airport and I can tell you, this is the best one yet. So many options of food around but this bar was easily the best to choose from. Meeting people from different places and having a bartender like Rachel, really makes your trip better. She was so upbeat and so happy to help everyone. Made sure everyone was assisted and fed. She was a riot on her own but really made everyone interact and have such a great time. My layover was amazing, because of her. Thank you Rachel! Ps. She makes amazing drinks. read more

Tap-A GastroPub - a bar with drinks on it - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Rachel was great! A true pro at her craft! She has the right amount of personality, banter and persuasion to get you to drink and have a good time! No one had an empty drink in the house and it was packed. Definitely will stop be everytime we are in the area read more

The doors were closed at 8:30 pm on a Friday, no customer service or explanation. SHITTY place, don't waste you're time they're probably closed or called last call hours before business hours end. read more

AMAZING... I was lucky enough to go here twice while flying in/out for a family visit. With all the smoker oppression that's happened in airports, I felt blessed to be able to walk in here and vape/smoke and drink a Yuengling while waiting out a layover. The typical smoking lounges that still exist in some airports (including elsewhere at ATL) are usually nasty cesspools of ash and coughing. Not so here... The space is small, so I imagine that's partially why they are very strict about patrons needing to purchase something. Saw people come in and try to get their nicotine fix, and get pissy when the bartender told them they needed to buy something or leave... spend $3 on a soda and you're fine, get over it. The bartenders will also let you come back after leaving (if you've already spent $) to get one last puff in. Food is decent enough for an airport bar, we had the buffalo wings w/fries and were satisfied. The drink range is typical bar, whatever; obviously it's gonna be a little expensive because it's at the airport. (I think we spent $70 including tip on a few drinks and food, but we were on vacation so fine.) Most patrons were just happy to be there and the community vibe was excellent. Cannot speak highly enough about the service... Super attentive and friendly. I was also there during the event another reviewer described, where a bartender helped a guy who was not all there out with cash from her own pocket and communicated with his mother using her own cell phone... seriously best person of the year award. She later told us she'd been through a lot that day - one patron was getting divorced, and one had just buried her daughter... really made me appreciate how hard it must be working in such a high-traffic area where not everyone is a run of the mill business traveler. I wrote a small novel, but really did enjoy this place and recommend it highly to anyone who feels out of place as a smoker in transit. Apparently the mayor is shutting all smoking lounges down in 2020 :( so get it while you can! read more

Rachel the bomb diggty!! I never thought I would be smiling and laughing so much before a morning flight! She is the best customer service I have experienced in years. read more

Summary: *This is an enclosed smoking area!* Overview: While Google and Yelp searches bring up delightful pictures of this establishment's big-brother location in the city of Atlanta, complete with intriguing fusion dishes and good beer, there's nothing that mentions this is an enclosed smoking stop with a few beers on tap. After walking the entire length of the A Terminal to get here, we were extremely disappointed. My personal opinion as someone who studies the global gastronomic experience, it's not only a sucker punch but poor taste to put the word "Gastro" in your title when "Plexiglass Smoking Zone" is what you really should be branding it as. Disclaimer: I did not order any food or drink from here. And I don't smoke. This review merely points out the failure of both Hartfeild-Jackson International Airport and search results to specify this as a smoking environment. If you smoke with your pub food and beer, knock yourself out; it's probably a welcome stop for you. read more

Tap-A GastroPub - The small enclosed smoking zone that is Tap-A Gastro Pub. - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Very small, quaint old school pub at the end of concourse A - the atmosphere really makes you forget you're at an airport. Simple menu, good music ('80s), good beer, and good food at reasonable prices (especially for an airport) - perfect place to stop for a bite and a beer during a layover. Aundrea was a lively and polite bartender who provided great service and conversation with all of the patrons. Definitely recommend stopping by. read more

An oasis in the airport no smoking desert. Good food. You do have to make purchase to smoke Andrea was an awesome bartender. read more

Incredibly rude. Walked up to Tap in concourse A about 9:35. Could see customers and staff inside. Staff member opened the door and several voices shouted very rudely "we're closed". This was at 9:35 nearly 30 minutes to close. Incredibly rude staff who are violating the restaurant's posted hours and disrepectful to potential patrons. Hopefully management sees this and addresses whoever was on closing staff 9:35pm 11/5/19 with appropriate and immediate action. read more

This 5 star review is for the bartender and only for the bartender working 8/4 at noontime. There was a young gentleman in the bar that did not have his you know what together. Missed his flight, no money, no phone and so on. The bartender legit gave him her phone to use and text with and also took the dudes email address so she could email him info that his fam was texting to her after he left the bar. In addition she gave him money from her pocket to go get something to eat. All while having a smile on her face. What a super human being. As for the bar itself... my double Bloody Mary with Tito's cost $25.00. Damn! read more

The good thing is that there is excellent ventilation so it doesnt even hardly smell like smoke. However, a glass of house wine was 14 bucks! Ouch! It was, however, a generous-sized glass. The music was old-school rock n roll... not sure if it was bartender's choice or house-fed. There are several 2-tops and some bar seating. The bartenders were pleasant. I heard people ordering food and they were out of some stuff. Bar food- burgers and tortillas. Near gate A-3 at one end of term A. Nearest bathroom is gate A-6. read more

NOT A SMOKING LOUNGE! Looks like a fine place to grab a drink but they really should change the name.

I was thoroughly disappointed with this bar and I am a huge dive bar connoisseur. Having to travel for work I have stopped at many bars and by far this was one of the most disrespectful places I have been to. I will give it one thing, I get it... we want a bar atmosphere where people are off their phones and interacting with other guests... Buttttt... also take into consideration you are a bar at an airport and it was a Friday... I had been gone from my bf for the week and happened to be with our mutual roommate so we FaceTimed him to say hi from the bar after a long week... Right away the bartender (I believe her name was Rachel) started yelling "You should snap my sign! Get a video of my sign!".. I thought she was being funny so I did pan the phone to look and to my surprise it was a sign that stated "limited cell phone use FaceTime/speaker" and right away I felt bad and sorry and turned my phone off on my bf... but it didn't stop there... she continued to go on a huge rant with everyone seated at the bar explaining the importance as to why you don't FaceTime or talk on the phone at the bar... which again, I get.. but it was just a bit "above and beyond"... I get you made it clear what the rules were I obliged and yet you still had to put on a show?.. anyways I ordered a second drink and asked what the wells/house vodka was and the other lady bartender told me it was Tito's so I ordered another Tito's vodka soda tall... my tab ended up being 27 something for 2 drinks... The way it was displayed on the bill was Tito's- 10.50 Rocks- 2.00... Riddle me this... was my drink 12.50 for ordering a tall?!? Do they charge 2 more dollars for friggin ice?! When I asked... and I asked nicely just because I was honestly curious as to why it said Rocks- 2.00... The blonde (possibly Rachel) in a condescending attitude said it's because we pour an ounce and a quarter.. which I responded with "ok I just wasn't sure.. I've just never seen anything like this where it lists the drink and 2 more dollars for the rocks?"... I ended up paying 30 dollars for 2 wells vodka soda single talls... Huge disappointment read more

If you're a craft beer fan but don't want to be trapped in a smoke cloud, I would highly suggest avoiding this spot. We walked all the way out there and we're super disappointed to see that it was a smoking section. I have no problem with smokers or even being around smoke, but being in an elclosed space with it? Not my jam. read more

Amazing experience in ATL! Rachel rocked it, food pairs well with drink selection, and location is perfect for A Terminal.

Whew what a terrible bartender. Was not aware you had to purchase to vape, not a problem, when she told me I got up to leave and was packing my bags, took a hit, she then went on repetitively telling me to put it away or put in down. Keep your pants on vape police lady, there really isn't any reason to be ugly. It's an airport smoke bar for Christ sake. LOL but thanks for the smoke read more

1 drink required, still not bad. Good service good company and a great idea. Smoke in the airport bar read more

This place is PHENOMENAL! The fried chicken taco is one of the best I've ever had - in general - not just in an airport. You will not be disappointed in the food here. It's a smoking restaurant, which certainly gives a strange aesthetic to the place. I was with a coworker who smoked, so we thought we would give it a try. As a non-smoker, I couldnt have been more pleased. read more

Prepare to be ripped off just to enjoy a cigarette. Apparently you have to purchase something to have a smoke, unlike other smoking locations in the airport, like SoJourners, for example. AND the drinks are expensive here. SoJourners is volumes cheaper! Not all designated smoking areas in the Atlanta airport are the same. read more

If you need a smoke and a craft beer while in terminal A skip Gordon Birsch and head to tap by gate A3. Addie is the best bar tender in ATL!

Brandy and Andrea are all-stars. Excellent service, beautiful smiles. They are on top of keeping the bar going as well as keeping customers happy. Couldn't ask for a better staff. Thank you ladies. You made a sad trip much happier. read more

Walked all the way down to experience it and it is sealed in and SMOKING only. Doesn't say this on the signs for out-of/towners. There is no ventilation system that would entice me to go there. Thanks a lot. read more

Needed a smoke during my layover from LA and was pointed to Tap. I only wanted to smoke a cigarette but ended up staying in the bar for my entire 2 hour layover. The atmosphere,music, food , and staff was great, especially Wyiasha. She made the wait fly by with her jokes and singing. read more
