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.

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.

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

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.

Strawberry Margarita

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!

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!

Nitro, darks, coder taps

Not sure what to drink, and... want to taste test a few ales, IPA's or cider? Come on in, the wall of taps, literally 99 offers your group a variety of experiences. Staff are friendly, welcoming and explain the process to you. You pay for what you drink, whether it's an ounce or a pint. Although we didn't have any food, the menu is basic bar food.

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.

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.

Chicken Empanadas and Tuna Poke Nachos
Thomas G.

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!

Chicken Jumbo Wings
Star T.

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 !

At night you can play drinking games
Will M.

Cool set up for a sports bar with the pour your own beer. Tons of different beer options and even cocktails on tap. Good outdoor seating, kinda tight on the inside. Great location to go before or after a nats game.

I'm going to miss this place when I leave. When it's Earlybird the breakfast burritos are excellent…read more(and huge!) At a reasonable price. I grab and use in their entirety both the orange-y hot sauce and the green sauce every time while adding hatch chiles to the simplistico burrito. I've shown several other people this place and they loved it as well. When it turns to side door they make some bomb Detroit style pizza. I truly haven't had a bad example of the style yet. I don't know if I'm selecting well or if it's maybe just low key the ultimate style of pizza but this is yet another fantastic example. It's just a small, quick takeout place for the most part, though there is some seating outside when the weather is appropriate. As such, service is generally to the point which is fine by me.

Street Parking Only & It's Definitely Hit Or Miss. I Got Lucky & Found A Spot, But It Is Metered So Be Prepared To Pay. This Spot Is Literally A "Side Door" Located On The Side Of Scarlet Oak. Super Unique Setup With Cool Lights That Make It Easy To Spot. It's Different From Your Typical Pizza Place, Which I Actually Liked. Since It Was Monday, They Had Half-Off Pizzas If You Dine In & I Had To Take Advantage Of That. CHEESE PIZZA I Ordered A Cheese Pizza & Lemon Water. This Is Detroit-Style Pizza, So Don't Expect New York Style. It's Thick, With A Generous Amount Of Mozzarella Cheese & Tomato Sauce. Honestly, It Almost Felt Like A Cheesy Bread Situation But In A Good Way. The Crust Was Buttery With A Slight Crisp On The Outside & Soft Inside, Which Was The Perfect Balance. The Ingredients Tasted Fresh, & It Was Very Filling. The Size I Got Came With 4 Slices, & Honestly, 2 Slices Was More Than Enough. I'd Definitely Come Back & Bring My Son This Feels Like A Spot He'd Love, Especially If He's Into Breadsticks & Cheesy Pizza. The Staff Was Decent, Though I Didn't Interact Much. The Overall Setup Is Interesting, A Full Restaurant Vibe Inside With This Separate Pizza Concept On The Side. Different, But It Works. I'm Glad I Finally Tried It, Unique Setup, Solid Detroit-Style Pizza, & A Great Deal If You Catch It On The Right Day. Just Have To Be In The Mood For Detroit-Style Pizza.

I got buffalo chicken wings - pretty good actually Got 4 slices of pizza: we like them all!! Korean chicken - too sweet for me but hubby like it Chicken Paneer Chicken Parmesan Chicken Bacon Ranch - my favorite! I was satisfied Best part is definitely the thin crispy crust. Service: can't say much because it's a pizza place and we only order and take our food. Staff read welcoming and easy to talk to ( male cashier); female staff who took my order and hear up my food my me seems a little mean but it's probably because of the loud noises so it was hard to hear each other....some miscommunication/understanding both ways. Go try some pizza!!

Onto the letter W on my alphabet series, representing prior to 2018, W is for Wiseguy Pizza. The…read morefirst time I ever went to Wiseguy Pizza was in August 2014. That month I had started Uber driving, was in this area of DC, had heard good things about Wiseguy, and decided to eat here. Although I don't like paying to park just to simply eat a meal, I sometimes will make an exception for convenience and/or if it's a place I really want to go. But for the most part, I'll go to restaurant where they have free parking or at least I can find free parking near the restaurant. I remembered getting a parking spot very close and feel like I feed the meter like 50 cents in 2014 parking prices for a quick 30 minute meal. They have all kinds of varieties of slices from the standard toppings or just cheese to fancy ones. Although the pizza is fairly thin, but average for New York style pizza. I tried Andy's Pizza 11 years later in 2025, and while it was solid although not as good as Wiseguy, my real complaint with Andy's was that the pizza is very thin, where I was hungry very soon later; so a much worse value as pricing is comparable to Wiseguy. Wiseguy slices are big, and the pizza is top notch New York style. I went to this location a couple of more times after my initial August 2014 visit as I loved the pizza. Then, they opened up other locations. I went to Navy Yard one at least twice, once after a Nationals baseball game after a disappointing loss for my 4th favorite baseball team, Texas Rangers. Sorry Nats fans, but Nats are in my bottom 10 teams. I also went to Rosslyn & Pentagon City location, where parking isn't quite as bad. They even had a Wheaton Mall food court location, which I got to experience once, but they sadly closed. Every experience with Wiseguy has been positive.

Continuing the last 3 of the runner-up alphabet series (& then onto 2025 alphabet series with…read morerunner-ups included at the same time) and the only representing 2023, W is for Wiseguy Pizza. I first had Wiseguy on 3rd & Massachusetts Ave NW way back in 2014, and I knew I loved their pizza. I had also been to a couple of other locations in Arlington & their only one in MD, which closed, at Wheaton Mall. I visited this Navy Yard Wiseguy about 3 times. The first was on Monday, January 6, 2020. I had work travel to DC. My girlfriend of that time was working in DC. It was a brief period of time. She started in December 2019, then on that Friday, 1/10, the contract was furloughed due to the contract company President dying, so she was off for 2 weeks. Then, it was back to normal commuting back to DC, which was brief, as Covid was around the corner, and became 100% remote. She was happy I surprised her coordinating lunch at Wiseguy at Navy Yard not far from her work. This location was pretty new at the time. She & I loved our pizza. It's a thin NY style, perhaps the best in the DMV! The other noteworthy time I visited was on Saturday, July 8, 2023. Early that afternoon, I was way up at Columbia Mall, where I happened to be writing this Yelp review now, as I ate lunch & had a movie on my AMC A-List. Afterward, I was texting/calling with a friend. He was itching to go to a baseball game. O's were away, but Nationals were in town playing against one of my favorite teams, the Texas Rangers, and I had their pitcher in our Fantasy baseball league. We coordinated that afternoon having about 1.5 hours to buy tickets on phone, for me to drive from Columbia to Greenbelt Metro with some modest traffic on parts of 95, & metro all the way on Green line for the 4:05 game. My friend was running a bit later, so we didn't enter right at 4:05, but my heart sank when I heard Nats fans loudly cheering for a homer. My Rangers pitcher got clobbered by the Nats. I was pissed at him quickly dropping him the next morning as soon as I could. Although rain chances were low like 15%, there was a heavy thunderstorm that blew from DCA to Nats Park; almost the entire region was clear, but just bad luck. The rain lasted like 15 minutes, but I was pissed at the Nats because they delayed the game by 1.5 hours! They should've gotten the game going within 45 minutes. I think it was a ploy by the Nats to get people to buy more drinks & food. I refused to give the Nats a dime besides the ticket to go to the game. But after the rain, I was hungry from like the 5th inning to the end. We should've been out of there about 6:30 (which would've been on par with my hunger level) but instead like 8 PM. I told my friend about Wiseguy seeing it was quick & relatively cheap. He loved their pizza too as did I once again. If I'm ever in Navy Yard, Wiseguy is definitely a viable option for me.

I think their pizza is good however it always tastes pretty still like it's been sitting out all…read moreday. Their price is also increased recently as well so you can buy one slide of pizza for about $6.50.
