Tap Society is a neighborhood favorite! The garlic fries are the queen of the menu, and a great reason to stop in! The entire concept is self serve - indoors: order at a tablet; outdoors: order with a QR code. They also have a self serve tap wall! I like to stop in during warmer months, and enjoy an outdoor spot with my dog. However, they also have TVs on inside and host weekly trivia too! It's always a fun, relaxing night out at Tap Society! read more

Tap Society - Cheese Curds, Impossible Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

The best service from the *most amazing* staff. We had a large party celebrating a birthday and although the restaurant is small, they not only welcomed our party, but were very accommodating as the party grew and we shifted to allow everyone to sit together. The food was outstanding; we all received our food, exactly as ordered - despite our large party moving tables and changing positions. The manager was incredible throughout our visit and assisted with beer pours as needed from the tap wall (for those of us less skilled at a perfect pour!). I'm so glad to have finally visited this place - I look forward to returning!! A huge THANK YOU to the entire staff... we so appreciate you. Thank you for providing this large group with a great experience. read more

This place is what you get if you let a San Fran Tech Bro design a bar. The idea of pulling your own drinks is novel, but ends up feeling isolating. I actually prefer to interact with humans, and a friendly chat at the bar to get a drink is something I ended up sorely missing here. That being said, I love that they have drinks from all over MN. I've missed my hometown breweries from up north and they have them here! The food is okay and overpriced. The portions are small, and for the burgers they don't even make their own buns or hide the fact that they're store-bought. The sweet potato fries were good. The salads were drenched in sauce to the point it was like eating soup. The food left me feeling scammed. The location is great, and the table setup and outdoor seatings are great as well. Good for a meetup with friends, but is undercut by the isolating experience and mediocre food. read more

This is a nice little neighborhood bar with above average bar food and unique pour your own taps. They do a nice job, will def be back! read more

Great beers on tap and a great location for a post work drink or two. Most everything js self-service, but it's fun getting to try some interesting beers. read more

This is place is really cool. The concept is great. Get a card, pour your own Drinks, and have an automatic checkout. If your coming here ONLY for drinks it's absolutely worth it for the vibe, variety and atmosphere. The food is expensive and unsatisfactory. Expensive for a 1/4lb patty cheeseburger that doesn't come with fries. Cheese curds are generic (still good, but nothing special). Shakes were great! And they even split into two cups! The wings were the best. Stick with those and you'll be fine! read more

Solid IPAs. Helpful service. Will stop again. Xxxxxxxxxcccc. Xxxxxxxxxccccccccca few more thoughts

Drink selection is amazing, and the fact you get to be your own bartender and get charged by the ounce you pour is great for sampling at a reasonable price. The food ordering is also self service, and what we ordered (mostly appetizers) came out timely and were very good. And for a self service bar/restaurant, the employees were very kind and on point. We were visiting from out of town and will come back here next time! read more

I love this hidden gem! Cozy, fun and casual place to grab a drink (or 3), chat with friends and have the BEST chicken in town. I've visited a couple times and always been impressed at how chill and welcoming this place is. I love the ease of ordering from your phone or the ipad stand, and grabbing drinks at your leisure. Tap-your-own spots like this have become my favorite to try a sampling of the offerings, because I'm usually too nervous to try a whole pour at a normal brewery or bar or something out of my comfort zone. I wish I could duplicate this place all over town! read more

This is an easy five. An awesome neighborhood spot with rotating self serve taps and probably the best bar food I've had in awhile. They also cater to all different dietary restrictions - gluten free buns and you can sub an impossible burger on any of their burgers. Jalepeno Mac and cheese bites, cheese curds, and pretzel sticks are awesome. My favorite burger is the goat cheese and fig but surprisingly the peanut butter one is actually pretty good too! Great outdoor space, dog friendly, staff is usually nice. Only bad thing is that it gets busy on summer weekend nights and you'll probably have to wait around for a table - no reservations. Garlic pepper fries forever. read more

Kind of an interesting setup. When you enter you use a kiosk to order your food. The folks at the main desk are there for checking IDs and to give you the card for purchasing your beer. Great and diverse beer and cider selection. Decent bar food - burgers, lots of apps, etc. Definitely try the fresh pretzel and beer cheese. The beer is a beer wall where you pay by the ounce and can try any/all of the options. read more

Slow service. Foamy beer. Cold French fries. Meager tomato slice and iceberg lettuce on overly well done burger. Tip expected even though order is placed through app. read more

I tried Tap Society on a whim after a game at the park nearby, and to be honest, I was a bit skeptical when I arrived based on their format. You sync your credit card to a Tap Society card that you then swipe for your food and self-pour drinks (which you pay for by the ounce). My inclination is to think places like this are kitschy and overpriced, but thankfully Tap Society proved me wrong!! First the wall of beer/seltzer/cider on tap-- They have an impressive variety of local options!! Truly anyone can find something they love here, and they have the appropriate glass for each drink as well as flight options! It far exceeded my expectations. The food was also great and reasonably priced. There are many free upgrade/modification options which was very appreciated! I loved the peppered french fries which came with a super yummy aioli. Seating was first come first serve with great options both indoors and outdoors. It is only street parking, but the area is quiet enough that that has never been an issue for me! I highly recommend Tap Society and plan to return! read more

Wow! What's cool concept and excellent execution. It was a little hard to figure out the pouring system if you are new to this concept. Leave the card in while pouring and don't forget to take it out afterwards. Other than that, flight paddles are handy with markers to help you remember what you're trying. Menu selection is limited but pleased to find a gluten friendly option (salad). I plan to go back when we visit MSP again. Weather was awesome so we found a nice shaded spot outside. Construction made it hard to walk to but that's temporary. read more

This place is awesome! Not enough breweries serve food, and this is one of the few that does! I really appreciate it, I love being able to have some food with my drink and the food here is really good. I also like how you can pour your own drink. Sometimes I don't want a full 10oz glass of beer, so I like that at Tap Society you can pour however much you want (and it's usually pretty cheap). The ambiance is nice, it feels like a sports bar. The service is also really nice and efficient. read more

Wow, me & @kaaaaayleexx had such a great time at @tapsociety yesterday! I didn't even know this place existed and now it's about to be the spot The food was cheap and super good! I got the Nashville hot pulled chicken sandwich with garlic fries the chicken sandwich was not really Nashville hot, but the flavor was amazing & the home made pickles We also got the deep fried Brussels sprouts & cheese curd appetizers: both amazing, especially the Brussels sprouts! The set up is so cool inside. We were a lil confused at first (you place the card in the slot and then start pouring your beer) but they have a ton of options & you pay by oz, so it was super cheap overall! Less than $20 I think for us to drink 3 beers and part of a flight! Such a fun experience overall & a nice outdoor set up for you to enjoy a variety of beers in the sun this summer read more

Interesting concept place. Self-service bar. When you walk in, you are issued a card that is linked to your credit card. There are numerous taps along one wall, and each has a screen with a description and a price per ounce. There are beers, wine, and seltsers. There is various glassware to choose from (I took a small tasting glass, as I wanted to try a few). Put the card in the slot associated with the tap you want, and start pouring. You can take as much or as little as you want, and it charges per ounce. There are several tables, including a longer high top table. Mainly groups of people, but saw one or two alone, having a drink and reading. While it is self-serve the staff was quite helpful, explaining how things worked. You can also order food, but I just had drinks. While my experience was positive, I probably will not return. If you run the math, the prices are pretty average, so if you go with a group of friends for a drink, it is a good deal because you don't need to tip, like you would a bartender or waitress in a typical bar/restaurant. However, I would not go here alone for a drink again, as it does not have the ambiance of a typical bar. There is no repoire with the bartender, and it would be difficult to strike up a conversation with other patrons or meet people. read more

Been here a couple of times now for happy hour after work shenanigans. I love how the whole thing works - though they could post some tutorials about how to pour beer correctly from a tap. Asking for a friend, I obviously know how to do it without getting too much foam. But other people would benefit from it. The food is good - I have had both of their fries (I enjoy their dipping sauce, and I rarely enjoy those), the pretzel (yum), brussels sprouts (meh), and a burger (yum). They have a small but serviceable outdoor seating area, and the inside feels spacious, not like we're all on top of each other. It is a fun place, recommend. read more

My wife and I were out on some errands and we decided to try out Tap Society. They have about 20 lines of beer along the wall that you serve yourself at. You order your food from an IPAD at the front of the establishment. I ordered the Impossible Burger with cheese and some extra pickles and sauce, The burger was super flavorful and the perfect texture. It was like a real burger and the sauce tasted like Big Mac sauce, good stuff. I didn't really like the draw your own beer deal on the side, it was expensive and not really spelled out for the new person that I was, I would probably go 3 stars normally, but the Impossible Burger prep was way above expectations! read more

Tap Society - Impossible burger with cheese and an IPA - Burgers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

First one in the door on a Saturday with my uncle from Colorado. He had never tried a self-serve tap wall before. He seemed very pleased with the experience. They don't accept tips, but instead donate the money to a cause, which is a very nice idea! Maybe they actually pay employees a living wage. There's two kiosks where you enter your order, not unlike Panera. This accepts cards only, if you want to pay in cash you'll have to talk to someone. Limited selection of just burgers and apps. Like with other tap walls, you get a drink card from the counter and place it on top of the reader in order to pour your drink. The selection is okay with some classics and Minnesota staples. The burgers were classic crumbly bar burgers. I liked the option to add extra sauce, and the carnitas burger melts in your mouth! Overall this could be a nice first stop on a night out. Having been to other tap wall bars, this scores a bit lower in the food / drink category as far as options and flavor goes. I could see stopping in here again with friends if I was in the area! Street parking. read more

Tap Society - Mushroom and swiss burger with garlic pepper fries - Burgers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

FOOD: They do solid bar food, nothing to complain about but not, like, anything particularly special. Which is FINE because food isn't really what they're known for. Fries were hot and crispy, pretzel bites were the right texture, and everything was... solidly okay. BEVERAGE: Okay, normally not a category I include, but c'mon, that's what this place is known for. You get your own card, and there's a beer wall that you go up to in order to choose/pour your own drinks. They have a large selection of mostly (all?) local beers, a few ciders, and may one or two wines. Plus, water glasses for you to fill up your own water. It's a pretty cool concept, and though I'm not a beer drinker, it's a nice summer-evening socializing kind of place for a group of friends because people can just come and go with their own drinks. SERVICE: Prompt, and the first time we were here, the hostess patiently explained the whole setup to us. Honestly, because you fill your own drinks, you don't interact much with the servers here (this is the sort of place I feel like 15% tip is sufficient BECAUSE you don't see much of the servers at all). AMBIENCE: Super casual. The outdoor seating fills up pretty quickly on nice evenings. Inside is sort of dark in a bar kind of way. There are huge booths indoors, as well as long tables with stools. BATHROOMS: Many stalls, the bathrooms are down the hall by the hostess stand. It's decently clean. PARKING: No lot, but there's plenty of street parking-- especially if you don't mind walking half a block. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, cozy patio, tuesday night trivia is a good time. Get the wings

Great owner! I was a bit fussy about beer options but Mike came and found me the perfect beer. As a small business owner I love to support spaces that make everyone feel welcome. Tap is kid friendly and fun spot that enhances the South Minneapolis neighborhood. read more

The concept sounds good but if you're inexperienced at pouring beer, you're going to leave feeling frustrated and ripped off. What ends up happening is you pay full price for a foamy beer. The serve yourself style works fine for wine but for beer, you're going to pour a bunch of foam and get charged as if it was liquid. On a more positive note, the food and service is great read more

Tap Society is one of those neighborhood restaurants/ bars that is surprisingly a great hangout whether you stop by with friends or come with your family. No waiters to bother you, this concept is serve the beer yourself, order food yourself and then relax. It's an easy fun place to just hang out. I personally like the concept and, as a beer snob, am very pleased with their beer selection. They also have wine on tap as well for those who do not like beer. Their food selections (which you order from an ipad) are limited, but everything I have tried was very good. I was especially delighted with the loaded fries with pulled pork. So delish. read more

Tap Society - 26 beers on tap- all are on a pour your own basis. Pretty darn good food too. Great place to meet friends - Burgers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I tend to like restaurants that have the self-service component built into their model. Tap Society is a neat place to go, whether you're just grabbing a drink or eating. What's unique about this establishment is that they have a wall of taps towards the back where you're able to pour for yourself! How it works is that they merge your credit card with a special card for use within the restaurant that allows you to pay as you pour. It's really nice because when you're doing it, you're able to see the amount of liquid and the cost on a little screen. When you're completely done drinking, you put the card in a metal bin and they close out the tab later. Food orders are done using iPads. There are a few areas for customization with your burger, but not a whole lot of additional topping choices. Prices are reasonable and you don't have to deal with tipping. I got a cheeseburger and shared some fries. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of the 1/2 order. They were great and I would recommend getting some. The burger was flavorful and tasted better than I anticipated. The pickles made a perfect addition. While the menu is limited, the food is still good and there's a comfortable vibe throughout the restaurant. It's a fun concept and a nice addition to the food scene in Minneapolis. read more

I was happy to get a spot with my group on a Saturday night. My only real gripe is the communal table. It's tough to get out of your spot especially if you're trying beers at a fast clip. Otherwise, I liked (but not loved) the burgers. Fries were good. Obviously, the big draw is the ability to pour your own quantity of beer. It's a nice way to sample things that you normally would shy away from. Heck, if you just want to chug down some Old Style I think a decent pour was like $2. While it's a self-serve establishment I thought the staff that cleared tables were super friendly (as was the host). I noticed some people playing cards or games so probably a good place to unwind and not feel like you're being chased out after a meal. Overall, very enjoyable and I look forward to a repeat visit. read more

This place is great. Just didn't know it was such a "kid friendly" bar. Sooooo many kids running around, yelling, crawling on the floor!

Favorite neighborhood beer spot! We love coming here - the pretzel sticks with cheese are a must!

I've never experienced a tap house quite like this one! Basically they load your debit card on a separate card and you get to go to the "beer wall" and serve yourself! It's fun because you can try half-glasses (you're charged by the ounce) or mix drinks if that's your jam. I was shocked at how cheap the beer was, so that's another plus! You also order your food at a separate kiosk on your own. The menu is simple (think cheeseburger, bacon cheeseburger, veggie burger, or hamburger and fries) which is kind of nice to not have to stand there forever deciding. These two things in mind, the wait staff is small here. They pretty much help with the beer card and bring you your food, but we weren't really checked up on after that unless we flagged someone down. We just had to close out our beer card before we left. The food was pretty much generic fast casual burgers. The loaded fries could have fed me and my partner for the evening! It's a HUGE serving! Overall, this place was chill and a good spot for us to spend our evening! read more

We recently moved to the area and decided to walk down for a bite and some drinks. Having never been here (or done much research) we were very intrigued by this self-service model. I know-- sound intimidating during COVID times? Think again! This place provides plenty of gloves and hand sanitizer whether you're ordering food on their slick iPad station or pouring yourself a drink. The food was amazing and it's so fun to be able to pour your own drink and try any beer, wine, or cider you'd like, at any portion size you'd like! I highly recommend checking out this unassuming corner spot for your next get together. read more

I LOVED this place! We met here one night for drinks and it was absolutely amazing! I absolutely love this new concept of being able to pour your own drinks so I don't have to invest too heavily in a drink that isn't going to be right for me. The selection is vast and very local which I also love! It really is the best of everything. Only downside is the parking situation can be a little tough...other than that...totally a great place to meet a group and try out different drinks! read more

Fun idea, you get pretty fast service when you serve yourself! No offense servers I know your busy and can't be everywhere at once. Great beer selection! Bacon cheeseburger was good..Fries were good. The queso dip and chips were the best! Low down, check in at door get a beer card. Find your seats, indoors or out. There is one computer to order for food at, that I could see. Pretty self explanatory. Trot on up to the tap wall, make your selection and pour (Bring that card with you). They bring the food out to you. There is also a person walking around picking up after you, like your Mom LOL read more

PHENOMENAL is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of my experience at Tap Society. It has been my new favorite spot. I discovered this place 2-months ago and I have brought everyone I know here. Food, is presented well and is prepared even better! All sauces are made in-house and their variety of burgers makes it feel like a new experience every single time. Their appetizers, especially the jalapeno mac and cheese bites, are to DIE FOR. Their beer and cider selection is quite unique and flavorful. They do not repeat any draft beer/cider/wine/champagne and yes they do have all of that on tap. If you are lucky, in the summer they sometimes hold free concerts/events outdoors in their back patio. It is a fun and unique environment and it is beyond amazing for the price. Two people with food and drinks will cost you maybe $30-35. read more
