Pretty good fun spot especially if you like to try different types of drinks and not have to fill yourself up fully. The lobster roll was really good as well. Nice band played I'd come back read more

Tap That - Pretty dam good - Beer Bar Near Me - Queens, New York

I really wanted to like Tap That, but I walked away feeling a bit underwhelmed. The self-pour concept is fun in theory, but the beer selection didn't impress me--especially considering the prices. For what you pay and the fact that you're pouring your own beer, I expected either more variety or more standout options on tap. That said, the food was definitely the highlight. Everything we ordered was solid and came out tasting fresh. The space itself is nice, and the vibe is relaxed, but overall the experience didn't fully match the cost. Not a bad spot, just not quite the value I was hoping for. read more

1st time there. I was taken aback by the whole credit card, tap it card thing, but it was easy. Scanned menu code couldnT down load menu to order, worked it out with hostess. Beer was cold and it was fun filling up. Nice place. The food was excellent. The hamburger tasted great, wedge salad amazing and hog wings were to die for. Despite a lil awkward start. I'll be back. Fun place. read more

I've past Tap That so many times and never thought to stop in and now I'm sad I've missed so much time! From the outside, it doesn't look like much until you get past the wooden fence. The front is nicely designed with so much setting. Each table has some type of games their for your own entertainment. When you walk inside the building, you are met with so much alcohol on taps and decent setting area. There is also a setting area in the back that I didn't have a chance to get during my visit but seemed very lively. When we got in, we were greeted by the nicest host who explained how everything works. We got our Tap card and went over the walk of booze to taste test and figure out what we wanted. We ended up getting a Guava beer which was the tastiest beer I've ever had. There was good music playing and so many people coming and going. The vibes were so nice. We weren't really hungry but wanted to try something off the menu so decided to get the burger.. The meal came with fries and it was a good size, super tasty. Would definitely will go back to try other things! Oh, and they have live bands. Such a cool spot! read more

Excellent place to grab a bite and drinks. Great atmosphere and chill attentive staff. Plenty of room outside, inside and in the back patio in case you're not up for great live music in the front patio. Dog-friendly! read more

I stop by on this visit for the comedy show. It was great friday nice wine done of the work week. I live in the neighborhood and I love the 30 beers to choice from. The server was friendly as well. read more

This place is a great lunch spot! It's got outdoor board games like large Jenga, large Connect Four, and corn hole to keep everyone entertained. And a wall full of beer taps with many TVs (perfect for sports fans). All the food we got were very tasty, crispy, and juicy! - the onion rings, the PBLT, and the skirt steak. This is probably the tastiest spot to go to at Far Rockaway. Why I gave it 4 stars is because it is advertised as a to go spot.m, which is what we wanted as we planned to eat at the beach. However they do not have all the plastic utensils to go. We needed a knife for the skirt steak but only had a plastic fork, and while trying to bite off a steak, the fork shattered to many pieces . We ended up eating the steak with our bare hands. Luckily I always bring extra napkins, so it wasn't the worst but it was the most caveman dining experience I've had. Other than that, this place is amazing! read more

Went here last minute on a Sunday. They have a great open space, dog friendly and the owner/chef was super welcoming. It was a fun concept where you get a card and can self serve your own beer. I got the chopped salad and added chicken. My boyfriend got the lobster roll and onion rings. All was delicious!! we saw there was also live musics. We will definitely be back read more

What a cute unusual spot this is. There's a front open outdoor area which is fantastic on a warm night There's frequent music. If it gets a bit chilly there's heat lamps which warm the place up. A small menu and there's always specials. The star of the show is the pour it yourself beer or wine. You get charged by the ounce. It's a great idea. They even give you samples to help you decide. Everyone is very accommodating and friendly. There's seating inside as well and an additional backyard. Street parking only. I'm def going back. The soft shell crabs which was a special were good. Burgers are delicious and I heard the bar style pizza is also good read more

i discovered a place like this while in Denver, CO and LOVED it. i am so happy we have something like this in rockaway beach. When you head inside, you will need to provide a CC that gets connected to a plastic card that you then use to order drinks. grab a table, go up to the tap, slide your card on the reader, put your glass down, and pour as much or as little as youd like. you get charged by the oz. sometimes its cheap, sometimes it adds up. id say they have about 25 taps on the wall. plenty of different glass sizes off to the side so thta you get the perfect pour. i had one of the pizzas, and unfortunately, i didnt care too much for it. i think they need to take off the big chunky tomatoes, chop up the artechoke more and add way more of the onions. they have a full menu of various apps and entrees to try. good service, outdoor seating, fun concept, and a 3 min walk to the beach. would come back in a heartbeat. read more

The Ambiance is cool..Its wide open and you can sit down and listen to live music ,which wasn't bad to listen to.. But the place is a bit expensive... They give you a card , so that you can be charge ,when you start pouring your beer.. So you have like maybe 15 to 20 selections .I pick the mango flavored one ,which wasn't bad .So as soon you start pouring your beer ,they start charging you.. I stopped at $5.00 ,which it was like half a glass .. a full glass is probably like 10.00 which is a bit pricey.. So we ordered the Pizza and sweet potatoes fries ,which was ok.. We ordered a margarita Pizza ,which came like a regular frozen pizza from the supermarket and it was 26 dollars and it was too small for the price.. Everything else looked to expensive to experiment on lol .. He stood like 35 minutes and left.. OK place to visit, if you just wanna chill .. read more

Really nice spot and the food was better than expected. That said, how they are measuring pours by the ounce isn't working right. I had two pints of the same thing, first pour was charged at $13.79 - one expensive pint! And the second was charged at $6.83. A pint of Rolling in the Clouds was $13.25. When I walked in, someone was arguing with the manager and I kind of dismissed the customer. Now I see why. I would rather pay a published price than deal with some not-quite-working right gizmo. Check the receipt - it looks spastic because the system doesn't work right. read more

Stumbled upon this place while visiting for a beach day. Super cool concept where you pour your own beers. Ordered the burger (forgot to take a pic ) and it was a perfectly cooked classic burger. Perhaps on the pricier side, but good nonetheless. The gentleman working was very nice & helpful since it was our first time here. Will definitely be back! read more

Tap That - Two beers and complimentary pretzels - Beer Bar Near Me - Queens, New York

Looking at the reviews one person said it was a cool unusual spot and it is. I haven't came across something this cute, unusual and fun. We went on a rainy night so we couldn't expect the full outdoors saving area. However, we were able to stay warm at this establishment. Staff was welcoming and nice, and was an informative about their drinking menu and menu. Also, I never had to pour my own beer so going through all the taps was really interesting and fun but she did it with a group that you're getting to know. My only thing is I wish there was more food options but it looks like now for the new year I sing a lot of I see the menu expanding I will definitely come back and bring some with me to try some of the new food items. read more

I have been waiting for this place to open up since they put up their signage . My sister was visiting for a few days so we decided to give them a try. Their staff was so nice and helpful . Their beer options could have a bit more variety they have a lot of ipas which is not my favorite, however I did enjoy what they had to offer. They have a great set up in their backyard space with fire pits and really comfortable seating. They only have a selected menu at the moment so we did try two of their sandwiches. A mahi-mahi lettuce and tomato and a goat cheese with mixed berries. The berry sandwich was not my favorite I would recommend their tuna as of now. I can't wait to they have their full menu I'm sure it will get better from here. Needless to say we had a great time and went back the very next day! P.S - they offer card games , jenga and you can bring in your own games if you lif read more

Tap That - Pork Belly (PBLT) well done. So delicious! - Beer Bar Near Me - Queens, New York

Pour your own drink at this beachside brewery! Wander a few minutes away from the main path and you'll find this beautiful gem. Tap That offers a great selection of beers, from pale ales to IPAs and everything in between with quite the convenient paying method, think of it as a Dave n Busters pay n play card, but for beer and seltzers on tap. They even offer wine, sangria and margs as an option. The outdoor seating areas are top tier with chic fire pits, umbrellas and Adirondack furniture for comfy seating with a partner or even better for groups. Enjoy all the options on tap while you play a game of jenga or connect 4, but remember clean up after yourself! read more

Been waiting for this spot to open up. As a Rockaway native it's fun to see the evolution of spots in the area. The self-service model feels overwhelming at the start but once you get the hang of it it's super fun to sample the rotating selection. This spot is for sure an accessible space for locals & DFDs. read more

Only open for a few months. Enjoy it before the hipsters ruin it It's clean. New. And the attention to detail is awesome Pour your own drinks - not just beer - there is wine, margarita, sangria, hard seltzer, and cider. I'm sure drinks will rotate with the seasons. A large selection of glasses to pick from. Drink as much or as little as you want. You only pay for what you pour. So you could try everything if you wanted. Just FYI it's really easy to overpour and before you know it the bill can really add up. If you poured something by mistake you'll pay for it anyway because the card tracks what you pour You will need a credit card so that you can get the card to use on the taps to keep track of what you poured. Don't forget to check out before you leave So you can return their card and pay I can't wait to try more food here. We had the franks red hot onion rings and they were amazing. I do wish they came with some kind of sauce tho. Something to take heat off - like a ranch or blue cheese or something The owner John is really lovely. All of the staff was really friendly Outdoor Seating in the front or out the back. Seating indoors too Games out front like cards and Jenga Fire pits available in back but fyi it's a bit warmer back there because you don't get the breeze from the ocean like you do in the front. And you will hear the subway go by I believe it will be open year-round Definitely a nice new addition to the Rockaway area! read more

The food is decent, especially for the location. The corned on rye is grossly overstuffed - sometimes more is not good, and the strip is very good. But I can't get beyond the misogynist name. Really?? Cannot support. read more

I fell in love with this place! We went 3 times while we visiting the Rockaways. Amazing selection of beer (also available wine, sangria, and a margarita tap). They have indoor/outdoor seating and weekends with live entertainment. The food is delicious! We had the lobster roll, fried artichokes, pizza, and key lime pie ice cream sandwich. Tap That has craft beers and craft food, 2 things myhusband and I seek out. We were very pleased with the staff, VERY friendly and accommodating. Thank you Chef John and staff! read more

Although Tap That is a cute concept- it just wasn't worth it for me. The place is nice. But I can go anywhere else and get a beer and burger. read more

Great beer garden. Lots of entertainment here. We came by on a Friday night. They had live music inside, a movie playing in the rear patio, and lots of games like jumbo connect four, jumbo jenga, and cards. The rear patio has four propane fire pits which are clutch once the evenings cool down and the ocean breeze starts to come in. There are propane heaters around the front and back areas too. Really well throughout space. Lots of variety with macros, crafts, and locals all available. They have a self pour system, so there is no wait to refill once you're checked in. read more

Great place to get beer and some food after the beach! The live music is great too! BBQ Pork Shoulder Sandwich a must..... read more

Visited this spot today for a birthday celebration. Place is great. Food was amazing. Having the option to taste different beers, wines and even a margarita on tap is a great concept. You put money on a card and then can tap the card next the drink you want and pour your own. John the owner and all the staff were amazing. There is an out door area in the front and back of the place. I spent some time in the backyard and it felt like I was just hanging at a friend's house. Hope to be back in the summer. Thank You Tap That for a great afternoon Wishing you lots of success. read more

This is the best place in Rockaway by far. There is a buffet of beer along side amazing gourmet food. Everything about this place is perfect. Ambiance, food, service. It goes above and beyond anything I've experienced in Rockaway. This is definitely my new favorite location! read more

Tap That - Chili Marinated Chicken Sandwich w/Spicy Cucumber Salad & Cilantro - Beer Bar Near Me - Queens, New York

What a gem on a hidden strip in Rockaway. We went to celebrate my wife's birthday with friends. The love of providing a good experience and excellent food shows. The owner was very passionate about the various drinks and food available. Being a self pour parlor, you can sample so many wonderful beers, ciders, and hard seltzers. There is a drink for everyone. The food was also great, we all shared Buffalo Tater Tots, two Bar Pies (Fresh Clams, Bacon, Garlic, Olive Oil, Shaved Parmigiano & Oregano and the Pistachio, Red Onion, Olive Oil, Shaved Parmigiano & Rosemary) and some Sweet Potato Fries. My wife and I split a BBQ Pork Shoulder Sandwich. All of it was excellent. We sat outside around their fire pits, it was warm and cozy in the winter weather. A great atmosphere both inside and out. Gonna go back again soon. read more

I like their vision but they need to chill with these prices. I guess it's like a tourist trap kind of place

Great ambiance and service made for an excellent beach day lunch at Tap That. Food was fresh and tasty and served expeditiously by efficient, pleasant and professional staff. We enjoyed trying various beers on the self-serve taps. Great tables and spaces for groups or families, whether you prefer outdoor, indoor with open doors to the outside, or a cozy garden like space in the back. We shared a wedge salad, chicken sandwich, and onion rings and enjoyed watching soccer on tv. Happy we found this great spot. Can't wait to come back next time we are in Rockaway. read more
