If you want a place with a good beer selection and fun vibes, then this is the spot. If you're hungry, then maybe try another place first then come here for drinks.... We ordered the Mac and cheese bites but they did not have any Mac.. it was just fried cut up mozzarella sticks. Which is great.. if that's what it was called on the menu. We also ordered a fried chicken sandwich and a pub burger. The chicken sandwich was fine. The pub burger was ... meh. The pretzel bun they brought out was over toasted and looked like it was pretty dry before that. Like it was HARD. No one came to check on us after the food arrived so I had to take my plate to the check out desk to address the issue. Cait took care of it right away; I asked for just a new bun - I don't mind swapping it out myself. But in the end the burger was still just meh. Almost forgot to mention the fries .. not great. They were salted well but the fries themselves were almost chewy. When we checked out, Cait said apologized and mentioned some staffing issues. She offered to get in touch with some sort of compensation but didn't offer to waive our one beer. We left paying full price for everything. Again, fine spot if you just wanted to hang out and drink beer. read more

Great place to go to before a Nationals baseball game. You pour your own beers so you can get a little or a lot. Place is small inside but they also have a spacious patio outside. Bagel bites were very unique and really delicious! Servers were all nice. read more

Stopped in for a bite and some drinks after the Nats game. QR code ordering for food wasn't working for me (could have been operator error) but we were able to order on my friend's phone. Tap 99 Smashburger & fries was awesome. Scotch Eggs were just ok, I love fried food but the breading just wasn't doing it for me. Now the Elite Hush Puppies were so good we would go back for those in a heartbeat. Drinks were just ok. Tried some orange crush, key lime crush, and a couple other mixed drinks - from the tap. Maybe the beer is better but we're not beer drinkers. Everything is DIY tap. Fun concept - but can be a bit challenging if you've had a few. We sat outside and it was a fun friendly vibe. Inside was dim but lively. read more

I seen this place in a post on social media and thought it was cool and interesting. I ordered the smash burger and it was delicious. I would definitely come back to check out other menu items. They do charge 20% service charge to your bill that allows the business to pay their employees higher wages. Also, there are no servers so you order yourself via QR code. read more

Could rate higher but I haven't tried the food. My wife and I were tricked into spending an evening here when we decided to"hey let's go grab 1 beer." The intent was "1 beer" I say again un cervesa. Unfortunately we walked unworn 30 min left in happy hour and just as we were getting ready to pack up they said trivia was starting so we stayed for another 2 hours. Great time though and a fun spot for anyone in the neighbourhood. The good: for a place where you serve yourself service was really good. Staff were Quick to clear glasses and friendly whenever someone had issues with the tap system. The selection, ok so it's tap 99 they have 99 taps you serve yourself from. These are not all beer taps though, they have a good number of ciders a couple wines and even some cocktails on tap if you are brave or crazy enough to try such a thing. The atmosphere, it was a Monday night so the place was fairly quiet but they had 6 teams in for trivia and it was a fun space for the event. The mediocre: beer selection I think mixing the taps to have more than beer on offer is nice for groups but that does mean fewer taps with beer, the beers do rotate but when we were there it was a lot of sours and some juice IPAs. The bad: nothing stood out as unpleasant I'll have to try the food next time I'm in. read more

Self pour beer places like this are typically very hit or miss but this one is a total hit. They have a relatively good beer selection for this type of establishment, prices aren't terrible, and personally I like the vibe inside a lot. It feels different from a lot of places I've been to in DC. There's also a decent amount of outdoor seating. A vast majority of the glasses are clean (another self pour issue I tend to see) and the employees have all been nice though of course you don't need to interact with them all too much. Def one of my favorite places to go near the ballpark! read more

Tap99 is a amazing place to bring your friends and have a bunch of drinks. It is a self pour bar with beers and cocktails. Cranberry side car - 10/10 Spicy Margarita- 10/10 Christmas mule 10/10 Light and cloudy 10/10 Sticky situation - this beer is berry and sour. If you like that, this drink is for you Berry Monkey - I was not the biggest fan of it because it was way too sour for me Minkle doodle is a no for me. It has the taste of only sour Game on is a very calm tasting fruit beer. Out of most of the fruit beers, this would be my choice It's berries - is a sour beer with a mild taste Man eating toast 10/10 It is hard to rate liquor because everyone has their own preference. This place is worth checking out and trying the different varieties. Like me, you may find cocktails and beers you thought you would never like. The ambiance is great with a rustic look, cheerful atmosphere, and overall welcoming vibe. The entire staff was friendly and attentive from the workers to management and even the owners. You will absolutely enjoy yourself read more

This was just a block away from the baseball stadium and a great place to grab some grub after dropping $20 each on those stadium seltzers! We tasted the smash burger which was seasoned well- every bite was juicy and full of flavor. I will say that it was a bit thick for a smash burger .... The scotch eggs were not great- too fried and the ranch on top was unnecessary. My favorite bite though was the fritters with a jalapeño cream sauce. Service was friendly and energetic! As far as drinks - we had some duds. The orange crush tasted like Tang....and we did a mini margarita flight of sorts. The spicy one was the only one I drank without making a face! read more

The steak was delicious and had that perfect crust on the outside. I tried it with their house sauce and it added a nice kick. The mashed potatoes were creamy and a good balance to the richness of the meat. We were seated right away and our server was kind and helpful. The lighting in the restaurant gave it a cozy feel. I left full and happy. Definitely recommend if you're nearby. read more

Right in front of the Nationals Ballpark we saw Tap99. What absolutely drew our attention was the Big a** mozzarella sticks (yes they are actually called that)! So we immediately went inside and saw that it was a pour it yourself beer, liquor and shots restaurant as well! We got a demonstration on how to use the machine to pour whatever you want and then we were off to the races. There is a ton of seating both inside and out. Outside has covered seating across from the sidewalk as well which was great! We ordered the totchos, jumbo wings in honey bbq and of course the mozzarella sticks that lured us to this spot. For drinks we ordered various margaritas that poured perfectly in the glass every time. My favorite was the strawberry margaritas. They weren't too sour and had a bit of a sweet flavor to them. We also tried the lemon drop shots you can pour yourself and they were really well done. For the food, everything we ordered was delicious. Those three things turned out to be a ton of food. I really liked the bacon and cheese on the tots, the wings has a great sauce and tons of meat on each one, and the mozzarella sticks were incredible. I was just astonished by how much cheese filled each one and how little breading was needed to hold it all together. It also did a perfect cheese pull with every bite and had some sprinkled cheese on top of them. They were so large we had to conquer them by cutting off bites. I would totally recommend them to anyone that enjoys eating mozzarella sticks. Overall, this spot was incredible, so many people there but also so many taps that you never have to wait in a line to get a drink. I definitely want to come back here again at some point soon! read more

There are so many choices for your pre-game dining at a Nationals game, but this one looked good and seemed a little less busy than some of the others (and there was an outdoor table available) so we gave it a shot. We loved the concept for the drinks - you basically go in and get a card that opens your account and allows you to access the wide variety of self-serve taps, for virtually any drink you can imagine. You pay buy the ounce, so you can try a variety of things and pick any size you want. We were in the mood for "bar food" so we selected a few things from the Shareables menu - Mini Corn Dogs, Chicken Empanadas and Fried Zucchini Sticks (we had to get some vegetables in ). They were all really good - I liked the corn dogs the best! Even better, you place your food order from a QR code at your table. Then, the food gets delivered quickly and you can pay from your phone, too! Super efficient and easy to use! They also have a large outdoor seating area and a lot of the tables are community style, so you just grab the seats you need and sit with whoever else sits down. A perfect pre-game experience! read more

Went there before a Nats game, just had apps and some drinks. We sat outside under the covered pergola since it was kind of raining. The food was good but it was just bar food. The waitresses were very nice and helpful. The drinks are a pay by the once, pour your own. There is beers, wine, cocktails, and shots; all pour your own. Overall, a pretty good experience. read more

It's always a pleasure to hit up Tapp99. It's something about being able to pour your own beer. Indulging in beers from IPA's to domestics and foreign lagers. I'm always looking to see up dates and lately I have. They have a better option on ounces and also it stop at just that pour and doesn't go over like it used to do. I still haven't ate any of the foods here due to the simple fact I come to throw some beers and spirits back. read more

Skeptical, I assumed Tap99 was a basic sports bar catering to the Nats Park crowd on an oversaturated street. I was wrong. It's unique concept of 99 self-pour beers on tap won me over. My wife, five-year-old daughter, and I stopped in to watch the USA v. Netherlands World Cup game. It was crowded, but we found room to stand. We ordered only drinks and 99 to pick from is impressive. Being a sour ale guy, not many bars have more than one to pick from. Tap99 has nine sours to choose from more sour to more sweet. And they have six hard ciders on tap. How it works is you get a card that keeps track of your pours per ounce. You can try a sip of them all if you want and then settle in on one or two. Genius. read more

Every item of food simply exceeded expectations. The chicken empanadas were cheesier than they were meaty which is less authentic of a filling, but the sauce and crust matched what I would expect. The cauliflower bites could convert someone beginning a vegan journey because they were delicious and the crust and sauce gave the flavor of wings (of course they're missing the meat flavor). My absolute favorite was the Poke nachos. I would order them again and again because of the crispness of the Asian-style nachos and the poke and sauce. I enjoyed both beers that I had, one Bloodline Blood Orange Nitro and one Oak Barrel Stout. The mixed drinks that I started out with, on the other hand, were not so good. We started with a toast (green tea shot) and my first sample was 1oz of maple old fashioned neither which I would order again or recommend. Next time, I'd stick with beer and food and I would be highly satisfied! read more

Tap99 is a wonderful place to grab drinks with friends, enjoy some finger goods, and vibe to the music. I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was happy hour. You can try anything for just a few cents or fill up your cup for a couple of bucks. There's an array of beer options to choose from, a few margarita options, and a few wine options. Service was great. They're located next door to Kilwins and there's a corridor you can take to walk next door and grab a sweet treat. You can even order it at your table and they'll bring it to you. The food was alright to me. The French fries were nice, reminiscent of five guys fries. The onion rings were good, no complaints. The chicken wings were just alright in my opinion, however, if you need to eat before drinking, then you'll be fine. Overall, ten out of ten experience ! read more

Fun experience before a women's soccer game. Not too far from Audi field. If you want to try a bunch of different beers then this is your place to do a bunch of small pours. Food was average and there was no HH special for food. HH for beer, ciders, and cocktails was small and runs from 4-7 PM I think every day but Saturday. The HH beer selection wasn't great and I didn't see any ciders for HH. Inside and outside seating was good for groups. All in all fun but probably would look for a better HH in the area with more selections of better beer and ciders on tap for HH. They didn't post the selection online which made it tough to know. Also, the sour beers per ounce pour were a bit expensive. Semi accessible but the selection touch screen is at about 4 and a half feet. No steps. LGBTQ friendly. read more

Love the concept. The "front desk" staff was awesome. One was a younger dude in a Nats cap, the other was a young female with a Nats City Connect shirt on. One of them recommended I talk to the manager/cicerone for beer suggestions. I looked his way a few times but he seemed unapproachable and aloof (he had an Orioles cap on). Otherwise, plenty of variety for everyone! read more

I love the concept of pour your own drink from beer to seltzers to ciders to cocktails 10/10 woudl recommend there is minimal staff interactions besides you getting your tap card from the front and your food being given to you. The poke nachos 100/10 uhhh I can't wait till next game day. The wings were great friend perfectly. Pigs ina. Blanket were okay wouldn't order again the fries were good too but not necessary. I can't remember what the item in the silver tray was but it was delicious and would recommend coming back ! read more

I love the concept. The drinks were a bit pricey especially if you aren't ordering food so there isn't a waiter or waitress coming to your table. I enjoyed the winter sangria with hints of cloves and cinnamon. My suggestion is to also include the alcohol percentages in the display screen for the wines and if possible mixed drinks like the ones included with the beer options. read more

A little torn on this review because the drinks were great but the food was nothing special... The drinks: There were so many taps to choose from and a great selection of sours. It is definitely not the cheapest $/ounce but some very good options and I would definitely recommend it. The food: Pretty mediocre meal. The pizzas were $20 for a personal pizza with barely any meat (see picture). If it was solely a restaurant, I would for sure have left less stars. The drink selection is what makes this place and is the only reason I'll probably go back, but I will be eating dinner elsewhere beforehand next time. read more

Loved this place! We stayed right around the corner and came here for dinner twice. Sampling all the different beers, ciders and cocktails was fun. I didn't expect much from the food but was pleasantly surprised. Caesar salad and empanadas were good as were the sliders. We went for trivia night but weren't there in time to get a good seat so couldn't hear very well. We returned for Song Bingo which was really fun. It's not really for kids but we went with our 11 year old daughter who enjoyed it as well as her parents : ) We liked it so much we were inspired to search for similar place closer to our home, but it looks like we will have to return to DC to go here again. read more

Went back on a Saturday night and it was like I was at a frat party. There was beer pong being played on each end of the building. We were hit by balls a few times. I saw this place first with a yelp elite event and it was not this. If you are into a college feel you will love it here. read more

Tap99 is a great place to go before or after a Nats game. The concept is self-pour, so you choose how much you want to drink. You only pay for what goes in your glass. They have a wide selection of beers, ciders, and seltzers. I really enjoyed trying different flavors. I liked the hard kombucha. Overall, I thought this place was fun and hassle-free. You don't even have to worry about closing out; you can just drop your beer card in a bucket and agree to a 20% tip. Fun experience. I would go back. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Cocktails are ridiculously sweet and have hardly any alcohol. The main issue with this place is they charged me for tabs that weren't mine. It's the holiday season! People don't have money to just be throwing away. Now I have to fight with them for my refunds and get my bank to do a charge back and the whole 9. Cute place, great decor, AMAZING concept but WILDLY disappointed in my visit. read more

I was a little disappointed that the Kitchen was closed when we arrived (about 10pm), but I understand. We sat outside on the patio, but there is also seating inside as well. Highly recommend! read more

Straight to the point, service was poor, establishment was dirty. I tried their cocktail selection and it's overpriced and the cocktails were liquor and koolaid at best. I suggest sticking with the beer selection. They offer a variety of taps and the idea although a good one, should re-evaluate what they offer in terms of quality and taste. I wanted to try the food but after looking at the filthy place I lost my appetite. I did show up in a Saturday evening, so maybe it's better earlier in the day. The music and the environment is undergrad friendly. Loud so if you want hear your conversations, you might want to sit outside. read more

I stopped by on a random Wednesday for happy hour with friends. This place has a great concept. You start a tab and you are given an a card to access the drinks on tap. There is everything from beer, wine, to mixed drinks. I loved the Mai Tai. My drinks were on average $10 each and a 1oz sample is available for $1-$2. Traditional bar food is available- wings, pretzels, and hot dogs. The food was average. The pretzel was huge! It's definitely enough to share with the table. There were signs advertising Monday night trivia. I had a good time. I loved the pour your own drinks on tap concept. I will definitely return! read more

Tap99 - Huge pretzel - Bavarian Pretzel with Beer Cheese - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Tap99 is another serve-yourself establishment in the DMV, and it's gotten better since it's opened. The drink selection is always solid. They've got a wide variety of local beers, hard seltzers, wine and even some pre-made cocktails. Plus since you pour yourself, you can portion your own drinks and try as many things as you want. Over time they've added some more drinks to the tap selection. The food is the biggest improvement. I came here once in the fall and the pizzas were ok. But I was just here a few days ago, and the Meatlover's pizza today is much better! It's bigger and fresher, well worth every penny you pay. I love the concept of being able to serve yourself, and the drink and food selection & quality keeps improving the longer they've been open. I'll probably start becoming a regular here. (FYI, there is outdoor seating but there's no tent nor heating, so don't sit outside in the winter!) read more
