    Tap house has some amazing food and service. I always have to get their nachos when I go, they are just too delicious. Their coffee is also yummy and it comes in a cool cup which I liked.

    Our group ended up going here for a trivia night that was being put on. So we ordered a bunch of drinks and sat and played trivia. It was a lot of fun, but the drinks were normal and every time we walked past this place besides the trivia night it's always been kind of dead. I give it four stars cause the bathroom is a little bit dirty and it was not clean and took a little while to get our checks. But other than that, the staff was good and the trivia night was awesome.

    Great pub downtown with a lot of tvs! Great price for a beer! Seemed to be typical bar food. We only went in for a drink before the hockey game. Trivia on Tuesday! Service was good and pretty quick! Kind of the typical ambience for a pub!

    My husband and I have been here now a couple of times. I have to say we waited to long to go here! Should of came sooner :) This place is a great vibe, food is delicious and the servers are awesome! We recently had the pleasure of Sara A serving us. She was super friendly and we greatly appreciated her customer service it makes you wanna come back! Oh and did I mention they have TV's that share all the sports for fans that wanna get out from home and watch games else where. So if your in downtown Boise check this place out! You won't be disappointed:) Happy Customers Abato's

    What a great lunch with awesome service and good selection of tvs, beers, and spirits! We were seated quickly, just ahead of the downtown lunch rush, and had drinks within a couple minutes . The menu is nice but not overwhelming and there are plenty of options for everyone. Had to go with fish and chips and the wife went fish sandwich. As soon as mine came out, I knew it was a winner. It's clear to see they hand bread their fillets and make the extra effort on their tartar sauce. I was so impressed, and finally feel like I've had a good fish and chips in Boise (reasonably priced). Ambiance was great, noise level was average, and the servers were friendly and attentive. Great spot, will be back soon!

    Bacon & Bleu cheese burger - freaking amazing!

    *This is for the Taphouse location in STAR - they do not have a Yelp listing yet, though this is a separate location, it is still under the same ownership in Star* It's important to note that every restaurant in Star is inundated as soon as it opens. Taphouse is no different, however, due to the excellence in staff training and organization, the service was excellent, friendly and accurate regardless of how many people were here. My family had the Bacon & Bleu Cheese Burger, Chicken tacos and Fish and Chips. Bacon & Bleu Cheese Burger: Amazing. So much tangy bleu cheese, but not overpowering. The burger was juicy and the bacon crispy. Fries were a little over seasoned but they were perfectly crispy....but wished there were more. I literally cannot wait to have this again. Downed that meal with a beautiful blonde beer off tap - lovely. Chicken Tacos: Kind of a surprise with the shredded beer braised chicken instead of grilled, but the cilantro slaw and crema bring out this freshness where the chicken seems a little heavy. This comes with three, so it's a big meal but incredibly delicous. Fish & Chips: This is your typical fish and chips flare - my husband said it was one of the best he's ever had. Fish was tender and breading was perfect, not to mention it was fried but not oily - perfection. Service was wonderful and we cannot wait to go back. What an excellent addition to Star! Can't wait to try the brunch options.

    Portobello burger - amazing!'
    Kristen A.

    Finally - a veggie burger option in Boise!! The Taphouse did not disappoint, even if it took us some time to find. It's clean and the staff is friendly. The food was legit. I had the portobello burger, which was amazing! And the parm fries are wonderful. My husband had the prime rib dip and he was quite pleased with his choice. Drinks are solid. Prices aren't bad. And again, finally, a few legit veggie options.

    Casual dining with great beer menu. Several local and regional craft beers. Great service and atmosphere!

We saw a young couple get frustrated with how packed it was and left, but what do you expect on a Friday night, this isn't a fast food place. We stuck around and placed our order. Got lucky because they only do Fish Fry's on Fridays! Ordered the prawns and fish, got two order of buffalo wings, Mac and cheese, chipotle wrap, and kids burger. Fish was amazing!! Tasted Fresh! Not frozen! I was really not sure what to expect and faced my fears and ordered it. I can say it was some of the best fried fish I've had no lie. I was super pleased with it! Next time I'll try just the fish and chips in hopes that it comes with one more piece. The prawns were skinny ones and I wasn't too fond of them but the fish the main dish was perfect! Wife and bro-in law got an order of wings each and they were both super happy with them, I snagged 3 and would say top 5 wings I've had. Sister got the chipotle wrap and she said it was really good! Wife also got the mac n cheese with bacon and her and the kids loved it. Kids burger was able to split between two kids and they tore it up along with the mac n cheese! We had a great experience! Just be patient with staff and cooks, they get bogged down and you have to expect that or be ready to order fast when you're there.

    Very disappointing. I ordered the chicken pot pie. Instead of a traditional pot pie I got a charred…read morebut doughy chicken calzone for $30. It was accompanied by a large pile of arugula lettuce with extremely bitter dressing. And there was an undisclosed 2% "culinary fee" added to the bill. The explanation for the fee was "our kitchen staff doesn't get tips, so we add the fee". It feels like a ripoff. I DO NOT recommend this restaurant.

(Other than Cheetahs in Atlanta.) If you're in Boise and you don't go to Double Tap, you need to seek mental help. It's everything you want it to be and more. (Even tho I watched England lose to France here in 2022.) Long story long, check Emmy's schedule and get your butt to Double Tap! Also the fries are legit AF. And they singe the edges of the burger buns. Everywhere should do that.

Both nights we sat at the bar, and were helped by Javier who is brand new and training. The female servers training him both nights were great, helpful and attentive, while still giving him space to do his thing and learn but give him independence when appropriate. Javier was great, he was up front about being new but clearly dedicated to the business, learning the menu, and above all else, customer's having an amazing experience. He is gem and a great hiring choice by management. The food was phenomenal. I ordered the Fresno Fig burger and the truffle cheese fries both nights, medium rare and both nights were delicious and made perfectly. I also ordered an old fashioned, Eureka Sour and the seasonal Farmers Market Sour between both nights and all drinks were well made and delicious. Between both nights my partner had the bacon jalapeño burger, the bone marrow burger, truffle cheese fries, and a couple different draft beers and an old fashioned. He loved everything he had, but would specifically recommend the truffle cheese fries and the bacon jalapeño burger.

    My wife and I brought our daughter here for lunch today, Sunday, at about 1:30…read more First off, it's downtown and yet they have a large, free parking lot, so I loved that. Second, and I doubt this is the case during football season, the place was not busy at all. The inside is dark wood, tables and booths. I liked the ambience, I kind of pub feel. However, it was a beautiful day, so we sat on the patio, and this was nice. Our young male server, and I apologize because I did not get his name, but he had dark hair and a beard, did an excellent job of taking care of us. My daughter and I had the Red Eye(?) IPA, which we both enjoyed. She had the shrimp bowl, my wife had the French dip, and I got the Pacific-something seafood melt. My daughter really liked her choice. My wife said that, while there was plenty of meat on her sandwich, she has had French dip sandwiches elsewhere with more flavor. Likewise, my crab, shrimp, and artichoke sandwich was not as flavorful as I would have liked, and mine was served kind of open-faced. When I put it together ingredients were falling out as I ate it. So, I was not that impressed with my choice. My wife and I liked the fries, hers the sweet potato, mine the regular. Crispy and well-seasoned. My sandwich was $22, and my wife and daughter's entrees were $19. With two beers and a soda, the bill came to over $100 including the tip. So, not inexpensive. I'm not sure we would drive from Star to this location again, based on the food and prices.
