The atmosphere was festive and upbeat. I went initially because I had a birthday coupon, but my friend and I were glad we went. Service was fast and friendly. Drinks were excellent, and we were very happily surprised with the quality of food. Actually went back a second time a week later! Try the drink flights! read more

This isn't the best food on the planet, nor the best drinks, but the patio keeps me coming back. It's a fantastic space to sit under an umbrella on a nice summer day. The drinks are perfectly adequate and the food is typical bar food. Not bad food, just know that it's bar food. Service has always been good when I've been there. Easy parking since it backs up to a parking garage. All of these reasons are why I keep going back read more

If you've been to Momento in the Chicago Loop, then you're familiar with the concept. I was surprised Tapville Social isn't owned by some large hospitality group, and is instead a locally-run, small-ish business. The drink concept is self-pour (except for cocktails). Beers, wines, and champagnes use an RFID card, and you pay by the ounce (or fraction thereof). The good news is you can try a bonafide sip of just about everything and anything without feeling bad. The bad news is that while the cost isn't high, if you're not careful, it adds up quickly. I truly did enjoy the variety, and especially loved that they have the special glassware, complete with bases, that you may pour yourself a flight. I also enjoyed seeing how everything was organized by category, so that you may find something more your speed rather than a recent brewery experience where I am looking for something that isn't an IPA. For food, I ordered the Brussels Sprouts. While not mind-blowing, these were above average. The sprouts were pretty well roasted (not quite perfect, but not bad), and I liked the sweet, savory, and acidic notes of the bacon, maple, cranberries, and balsamic. Everything was well-balanced and I happily cleared my plate. Next, especially for a place that is largely self-service, I want to recognize my server for being kind and attentive throughout the experience. In terms of value, I feel as though their prices are around average, given the area and the product, for I am sure the tech is not cheap! The vibe is something I can only describe as brewery-esque, with brick, metal, and wood. I am less concerned about the walls, though, what I do want to highlight is how clean everything was! With the amount of hands touching everything, this is no easy feat. Final verdict: Sometimes, especially on a warmer day, it's not about fancy whiskey or food, but about simple food and drink done well. Tapville Social is that place. There are more than enough beers that you're sure to find something you like, and solid food that you have something to wash down, and aren't drinking on an empty stomach. read more

We arrived on a lazy Tuesday afternoon, a relatively low crowd. They offer a diverse selection of draft beers, allowing you to sample each flavor, as you wish, by purchasing a flight. The pricing is by the ounce, simply insert your card. This system also enables you to keep track of your drink& food bill conveniently. Love their burgers, elote, shrimp dips (forgot what it's called, not on the menu) We enjoyed the friendly & welcoming staff at this resto! read more

Checked out this restaurant during lunchtime on a Sunday. They weren't busy so we got a table right away. Great ambiance, customer service, and food. Order: Cheese curds - MUST HAVE!!! You will not be disappointed! Tapeville Burger w/ Elote Corn - Recommend! The elote is smoked really well. Fried Chicken Sandwich w/ Fries - I got the sweet BBQ on the side but you can select a sauce to have inside the burger. The chicken was a bit dry, but still a decent sandwich. We would definitely go back again! read more

It's a neat idea, but didn't wow us. The employees were nice and the atmosphere was average. The self serve beer is a cool idea but it adds up QUICK so be aware when you are pouring. The food was just okay, but they do have a lemonade that my sister enjoyed and came with free refills. read more

My lovely wife and I enjoyed trying many different brews at Tapville Social in downtown Naperville. Yes you can pour your own beer here from the wall of taps, so between the two of us we sampled ten beers (or was it eleven?). I prefer only a few ounces per pull so I can try more flavors! We enjoyed relaxing at the bar, and we appreciated the air conditioning and the ice-cold water supplied by our friendly server. We did not try any of the food, but the food and specialty drink flights looked fun. read more

Such a fun experience. So many options to choose from to drink. The lobster roll is amazing and so it the slider. The wall of alcohol is my favorite by far read more

$18 Fish and Chips meh. The Guinness batter was overly salty and the tartar sauce was flat (no dill & possibly no mustard). Shot of coleslaw was good. Overall unimpressed with the dish for the price. Service was friendly but slow. Our prior experience was better. My companion agreed that if this had been his 1st time he would not return since the food was disappointing. Have to say the flights look like fun but I was DD so I had to pass. Also their brunch menu looks enticing so I may return to put a fork in it. read more

I think the concept itself of this place is what everyone should try if they're interested. You put a form of payment down, and they give you a card. With this card, you can access all types of alcohol (wine, drafts, etc) from a tap. All you have to do is insert your card and dispense the amount of alcohol desired into your glass, based on the amount you self pour is what you pay at the end (it lets you know how much) very cool if you don't want to commit to one drink/ are wanting to taste and try other things that peak your interest. Staff was absolutely amazing. Very friendly. I had an issue where I inserted my card and without knowing the tap was down, it dispensed the wrong drink. They were able to clear that charge on my card with no problem. We came on Mother's Day weekend, Saturday around 7, what I can only assume is the busiest time for them. Only ordered an appetizer to share which was very good, although took a bit to arrive (I'm sure it's because the kicthen was busy, so no fault or issue) Can't speak on the food other than that but we came for the alcohol and was not disappointed! I'd definitely recommend to try out and will mostly likely come back read more

Went with my bff on a girls night out and we've been seeing ads for the marg flights for a while, so we were so excited to try this place! When you first go in, you put down a credit card and they give you this plastic card (credit card shape) with a QR code on the back that you use to order from (or u can order from ur server) and u use it to pour drinks from the taps. Really cool concept - I've never seen that anywhere else and I liked it more than I thought I would. We ordered the margarita flight and, overall, we liked trying the variety, but wouldn't do this next time. Classic - this was by far the best. Great balance of liquor. Strawberry Basil - Very good but a little strong Blueberry - The sugar on the rim was soo bad! The drink was okay after a few sips but I just couldn't drink anymore Passion Fruit - No my favorite and it was soo strong. Don't get me wrong I love a strong drink, but for a cocktail I would've liked more balance in some of the drinks. Also - I think these would've been better will salt on all the rims. For the tap, we tried the sangria and summerly raspberry wheat drinks and they were okay! I've had better sangrias tbh but the raspberry wheat was good. Now to the food... For apps we shared the fried cauliflower bites and they were delicious! They were coated in a batter and came with dips on the side (we asked for one of all flavors to try) 10/10! We both got the street tacos and they were delicious! But the tacos were tiny and only had one tortilla shell so it was hard not to break them when picking them up. Rice was not authentic Mexican style but still good. 6/10 We were still hungry so we got an order of steak nachos. Good but a little too spicy! The sauce is spicy, Guac was spicy and there were jalapeños so I would've preferred a better balance. Our service was great overall, but one thing I really disliked was the size of the water glass. You get a tiny water glass and it's kinda annoying to have to ask 10x for it to be refilled. It would've been nice to have a water pitcher of some sort at the table so we didn't have to ask again so many times. Also, I think it's a great place to try once or twice but it's a little pricy for the portion size you get. I'll include my receipt copy and photos so you can decide if you think it's "fair", but I was just expecting a little more - mainly for the tacos size for the tacos and rice for $17. read more

I've been to this place a few times in the past. I typically enjoy coming more for drinks than for food, but I have had the food twice. The first time, I had tacos and I felt that the portion was small, especially for the price. This time, I had the signature burger, and it was definitely enough food and it was tasty. As for drinks, I've had their variety of self pour drinks - some great, some ok, but what's nice is that they rotate so you can try different things! You can also see what your overall bill is as it pours. I have had the margarita flight, which was ok except for the lime, which was very salty, even in the actual drink. (I couldn't even finish it). This time, I had the spiked lemonade flight which was really good. It is a bit pricy with it being $19, but it's something different and fun to have. I've sat both inside and outside, and have enjoyed both. It just depends what you feel like doing. As for service, I've had some good and some not so great. This time, our server tried to be friendly, but service was slow and she was a bit awkward. Overall, I do like this place for a chill place to have some drinks and grab a bite to eat. read more

Fun place with innovative way of serving beverages, tracking and charging customers; still with a personal touch. Food was good. The ahi tuna bowl was a special and it was just the right amount.

The way you order your food and drinks here is different from other restaurants. First, you would go to the front counter and give them your ID and card. They will put your info on their Tapville Social card and you will use it to get your drinks from the dispensers that have different beer flavors. You can choose to do a flight or a glass. For ordering food, the waitress will come to your table and you will need to mention your name and the food you want. At the end, they will give your receipt which automatically charges to your credit card that you provided in the beginning and all you need to do is add tip! Cool concept overall but just make sure you don't lose your card or accidentally take someone else's. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes and it was alright. The texture is fluffy and chewy which was perfect, but I expected more for the flavor. I thought there would be lemon in the pancake but it was more of lemon glaze that's poured over the pancakes. I was kind of disappointed about that. I think I had high expectations because I was thinking it would be like the lemon ricotta pancakes from The Beatrix. read more

Having been to a similar place in Lake Geneva that we absolutely loved, I was so excited to hear that this was much closer to home and offered the same experience. However, the check-in process was laborious, and lines got long. Once we got our table and began to roam the selections, we discovered that 80% of the beers we wanted to try were out. Yes, their primary product was NOT AVAILABLE. We told one of the managers immediately, and they said they would have it fixed quickly. But 45 minutes later..... they were still out. That got me wondering if they are covertly directing patrons to select beers that make them more money - this creeped me out. We ordered nachos, pickle chips, and a veggie burger. and they were all good. However, I'm never planning to step in this place again. Whether it's sheer management incompetence or something more sinister, I can take my money elsewhere. read more

well, I went there for my birthday and the first thing I wanna mention is I had the cauliflower wrap and so did my cousin and we both got real sick the next day I'm assuming food poisoning... and also they ran out of sausage for my brothers Cajun pasta, which he was looking forward to and all they offered him was to add chicken. It wasn't his fault you ran out of sausage you could've offered him steak without having to pay an upcharge... then lastly this is the first restaurant I've ever been to that they don't offer a little something for someones birthday like a dessert for the table to share so that was kind of offputting... I will not be returning read more

Big fan of not committing to one drink/entree so I love the concept of the self serve taps! We got food and did a couple flights from the tap. I'm not a beer person so I stuck to the ciders and seltzers. They also have wine and sangria. The pink lemonade, peach county, and pineapple cider were all great! I'm not sure if I messed up a tap but I attempted to try the black cherry and cold brew came out instead which I didn't realize. My friend tried their pickle beer which was fascinating - literally like carbonated pickle juice and super savory! We split the fried avocado bites which were great - hot and melty and buttery. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich which was good - the portion was a good size and the crunchy veg toppings complemented the buffalo perfectly! The fries were really delicious too, crispy and salty. My friend tried the corn tacos which she liked but were a little small. Overall decent spot in Naperville, especially if you're into beers! read more

I visited tapville social for girls night and had absolute blast!! They have different beers and ciders and wines on taps where you could mix and match and choose the choice of drinks you want to try on your preferred quantities. They have a card where you can open a tab linked to your credit card and it's pretty much self service after you open the tab. The card had a unique QR code through which you can order food and drinks that would be served to your table . Amazing experience for night out if you are around Naperville area. read more

Tapville Social - Naperville - Strawberry Margarita and Crispy Brussel Sprouts - Bars Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

First time visiting after seeing this place all over! The margarita flights were the main attraction as that's I've seen the most in ads. Service - staff was nice and welcoming, explained the process they are a "pour your own" which is cool never seen that before. They have drink glasses ready to go and you can pour our own beer, sangria, etc. They give you a card tied to a form of payment and that tracks all you eat/drink so you can choose to order stuff on your own from their tablet on your table. Our waiter was good overall, the only thing was his lack of attention to detail to refill our water glasses. He came around to check if all was well but didn't fill our empty water glasses unless we asked lol seemed odd to me because I feel most if not all places just fill your water. Food - cauliflower bites were delicious! Dipped in a variety of sauces, buffalo was the best. Steak nachos - really good but the spicy nacho cheese with the jalapeños was a bit much lol overall good. The guacamole was okay it wasn't chunky which is my preference. Street tacos - steak was really good but can we agree that tacos need a double tortilla?! All 3 of my tacos fell apart halfway through. Drinks - the margarita flight was really good to try the different ones. One negative for me is the lack of a salt rim only one of them had it the others didn't and one had a sugar rim. The classic margarita was by far the best followed by passion fruit and strawberry. I could do without the blueberry one way too sweet. Ambiance - it's pretty loud in there overall combining the music and people sounds. read more

This has become one of my favorite places to decompress after a long and chaotic week. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy who you're with. I really like how they have touch screens to order vs having a server take your order. After talking nonstop to weddings vendors and being in a corporate position also talking to people non stop - this is a great way to just chill on your own and go at your own pace. Mind you - you can order with their staff and they are great! Friendly and don't hover over you. Cheese curds are da bomb here. This time I had the Buffalo chicken wrap and that was tasty too! read more

Food: great food. Got the pretzel bites, egg rolls, and fish and chips. Fries were good and beer battered. Drinks: lots of options. Two types of sangria, wine, all the types of beer. You pay by 0.1 ounce and I love sampling so it was great for me because I got to try a lot. Service: service was okay. Had to flag down the server for to-go boxes and ask questions about the check. Ambiance: inside is dark and loud. Outside was quieter and had live music. Loved it! read more

I've been here multiple times and it's usually an enjoyable experience, however today hasn't been the best. The hostess wasn't the most accommodating on giving us a table that we are comfortable with. Luckily, Jake the manager, came through and saved the day. He gave us a great table outside with an umbrella. I hate to say but the food quality has gone down recently. I typically get the chicken and waffles. The portion size has been cut to half and the price is the same! Yikes, not a good move by management. Keep Jake because he's the best thing this place has going for it right now. Bring back full size waffles!!! read more

This is a really fun experience because they have flights of tails that were really good for $18 and flights of Tequilas. They have veggie burgers and their fries are really good but a bit salty because their texture is nice and crispy. You can pour your own beer on tap and you can pour exact amounts that you want instead of certain amount that they pour for you. There are about 40 beers, wine, cold brew, sparkling wine, and cider on tap. The prices were a little high for the food, but the experience and atmosphere and the live music was a lot of fun. It's not easy to find a place where you pour your own beer or wine and the exact amount in ounces. Parking is free after 6 PM.on the streets. Even if it gets busy on a Friday night, you can easily find parking all over downtown Naperville. I really enjoyed the seating outdoors where there was live music. There were plenty of tables and read more

Food was outstanding. Had the Cajun pasta and my wife had the fajita bowl. Amazing on both. What took it down a notch was paying for drinks like soda and tea by the glass.

After receiving several emails for this place, I loaded up the coupon they sent (buy one get one entree or handhelds) and decided to try it. The beer selection is fantastic and the food was very good. They however would not take the coupon because after clicking on the redeem now a small print disclaimer comes up as Monday - Thursday only. Why didn't it say that on the front page?! The service was excessively slow but she was nice when she did show. We wouldn't avoid the place but would not go out of our way again to go as it's about 35 minutes from home. read more

first time trying this place. we were in a waitlist with no people in line like it said on open table but when we got there it was packed and reservation only which was a bummer. we did find seats at the bar which we didn't mind. cool card system they have when it comes to paying i'd say it's pretty efficient. for drinks we poured up some Guinness and apple cherry cider. the cider was really good the Guinness was just okay seemed like it was really flat. the way you pour charges by how much so my half glass was about $5.50 and 3/4 Guinness was $11. for entree we got the chicken bacon ranch wrap with fries on the side which comes with it. 10/10, really good flavoring, the chicken was cooked really well, the fries were really crispy and it was an enjoyable meal. the steak frites 8/10 steak was cooked medium as asked for it to be. the cheese curds were okay i've had better and the fries were good as well the only negative was the garlic parmesan all on the bottom on the fries and curds. it was overpowering them. overall i'd come back here! read more

The service from checking in, receiving your card, and sitting at the table was extremely fast during brunch. We were instructed you can order from the tablet on the table, which was great. We tried the mimosa flight and one of the Fall flights. Both were delicious. The appetizer, which was like fried mashed potatoes came out nice and hot! The breakfast food, however, came out to the table cold and our table was never cleared of plates or cups while we sat. But all in all the music was nice, the people were nice and I will go back for drinks. read more

Came here for a few drinks before Naperville Soul Fest. Location is right off of Washington which is near Main Street. Facility is nice inside and also has adorable patio space. We came around 5:30pm. No Happy Hour which was a bummer since many place nearby have drinks specials until 6pm. For drinks we self-poured off the Tap. I got four different ciders. Cost ranged from .59 to .79 an ounce. The ABV ranged from 5.0 to 10%. I enjoyed thr Strawberry Cider the most. I ended pouring about 3 oz for each cider. My husband loves the dark brews. He was able to try three different beers. He really enjoyed the Peanut Butter Porter. For food we got Southwest Eggrolls. Very delicious. Wish we would of eaten here but instead we went to the festival nearby. All in all would come back. read more

So my friend and I went here last night and it was ok. Service was good, there was a lott of people there. At one point there was a group of ppl just standing by our table in the back which wasn't great bc they were loud, bubbly & a bit obnoxious.. and of course I'm thinking about all the breath & spit that's flying in the air around our food. But anyway, I got the Mexi bowl which was honestly pretty good. Not much flavor in the chicken but I was satisfied with it. My margarita flight, however, was water. These flights are 19$ + & the representation was nice but it didn't seem to be much liquor or flavor in them at all. read more

The kids complained thier chicken tenders tasted like pickles...I took a bite and they were 100% correct! They were very gross and the kids were unable to eat their dinner.

We ordered the flights to try, which are very delicious. Try drinking them from left to right as it seems like it goes from strong to light. Shared the southwest eggrolls which were very delicious and the sauce wasn't too spicy. Want something light, then I recommend the bajas tacos. The fish was cooked perfectly. Also enjoyed the Mexican rice that came with it. They were pretty busy and everything came out so fast. The bathroom was pretty small with only 2 stalls for the women. Otherwise the place is very spacious. read more

This was our second time here and it's always great and consistent! The tap wall is such a cool concept.

The guy behind the bar was sweet and helpful! The nachos are super yummy and worth the price. There is street parking next door and lots of parking around the corner! In the heart of Naperville!

Really fun experience here! Came on a weeknight with a few friends and really enjoyed our nite out. First of all-- Free Parking! There is a parking structure right behind this row of bars and restaurants and it is free for 2 hours, I believe.? Secondly- really fun environment. Lots of beers and wines to self pour and try. It's interactive and fun. I tried at least 4 smaller pours, which are prorated by the ounce for price, and very reasonable. Thirdly- We bought tickets for the cocktails and cupcakes event, which was fun. For $35 (including tax & tip) you get 4 amazing mini cupcakes created by a local bakery and 4 mini cocktails designed to complement each mini cupcake. Very entertaining. Dinner was good (I had grilled shrimp tacos) but I'm not sure I would come for the food, but it was certainly acceptable and might try something different next time. All around, really fun concept and nice environment. Will definitely be back! If you're in the area or looking for a place to meet friends, be sure to give this place a try. Enjoy! read more
