Now believe it or not this was my first time going inside of Brass Tap as many times I've walked by it and seen it. It started out pretty decent with the waitress being attentive then she was talking to one of her co-workers as I was trying to get her attention. No big deal after while although I wanted to l let her know that wasn't good customer service especially when customers can see you, but anywho... The food was pretty good and the happy hour is good minus the fact that some of the drinks that my friend and I wanted to try they did not have at least 2 of them. I ordered a drink and I guess the bartender never made it so I asked her to cancel the drink after 10-15 mins. This was also during the time she was talking in the corner with the coworker. The food and drinks were good. I would go back and since this is an happy hour event that attends frequently. It has potential and I just hope for better service next time although it wasn't horrible. I would like to try the drinks they didn't have and get my drinks on time. read more

Our waitress was great but our overall experience was just average. We shared wings, pizza and fries. I ordered the margarita flight but it did not taste fresh more of a pre-mix vibe. read more

The Brass Tap - Margarita Flight - Pubs Near Me - Oxon Hill, Maryland

We stopped in for a quick bite. The place wasn't very busy, and at first our waitress was attentive, but after a while it became difficult to get her attention for refills or to order more food. She spent most of the time chatting with other staff, which really colored our experience. The food itself was typical bar fare. The buffalo cauliflower was definitely the standout, with the pretzel and cheese dip coming in a close second. The grilled shrimp and the Caesar salad with shrimp were both solid options as well. Chicken fingers were fine. Overall, our experience might have been different with a more attentive server. read more

Very simple down to earth spots bar/pub. Got a few beers here and had a great experience!

Here's a high-level view. The food is phenomenal. The drink selection is extensive has a really good bar feel. When people talk about bar food, it's usually a mediocre and unhealthy type of food. However, the food I tried was exquisite! I tried the dry rub wings, and probably some of the best wings I ever had! My wife got a pizza. This pizza was so good. It felt like it was made by an artisan in a brick oven. The food is so good that I would just go there order food for Takeaway. Whatever you do, try the food you won't be disappointed. The beer selection is very extensive. They have beers on tap which you don't normally see on the East Coast. They have sweet baby Jesus on tap. Which is hard to find anywhere. The owner is very down to earth and came over and said hello to the private party. I don't usually go to the national Harbor, but if I go back, the brass tap will definitely be where I go! read more

This place has a nice pub-style vibe and offer discounts to patrons staying at certain hotels out there. The star was the service today with Reye. Beers on happy hour menu are limited but not a deal breaker. They do have some nice local crafts (not on HH). They don't bill you for HH prices and I neglected to check the bill until later so exercise some caution there. Pizza is unique in the crust- just as they mention it on the menu. All in all, pretty nice find on the harbor! read more

Happy Hour Win at The Brass Tap - National Harbor If you're looking for a chill spot to celebrate a win (like graduating from a six-week training class ), The Brass Tap is a solid choice. We rolled in on a Wednesday for happy hour and had a blast. First off, shoutout to our server. I don't remember her name, but she was warm and friendly and kept the drinks flowing. And speaking of drinks, the draft beer selection is . I had three 16-ounce pours and a chicken quesadilla for about $31 -- not bad for National Harbor. We sampled a good bit of the happy hour menu. My personal MVPs? The mac & cheese balls (better without the sauce) and the pizza . The pizza came out piping hot (but not "burn-your-mouth" hot), had great flavor, and held up perfectly in hand -- no sad, floppy slices here. Definitely ordering that for myself next time. The chicken quesadilla I ordered was fine, but nothing to write home about . Someone also ordered the "spicy" wings -- more "red pepper flakes everywhere" than authentic spicy -- so I'd pick a different flavor next round. But the vibe? That's where this place delivers--outdoor seating right on the main drag, perfect for people-watching, and a lively, social atmosphere. Would I go back? Absolutely -- especially for the beer selection, mac & cheese balls, and pizza. And yes, next time I'm upgrading my wing order. read more

Food was AMAZING! Freshly made, warm and the flavor was unbelievable. The service was even better, even when the bar was crowded the server managed very well to check-in, refill our drinks and provide great service! 10/10 recommend read more

Miya and Briona at The Brass Tap in National Harbor were fantastic! Not only were they super welcoming and full of positive energy, but they also nailed the recommendations--especially the dry rub BBQ. They made sure we had the perfect pairing for an unforgettable meal. If you go, trust their suggestions--they know what they're talking about! Just a side note to the owners charging .50 for another blue cheese for 2 people sharing 10 wings makes zero sense as 1 sauce is not enough for 10. Especially when there is 2 people!!! Irritating and annoying but the wonderful energy of Miya and Briona turned it around for us and we ended the evening with good vibes. read more

5-Star Review Tanisha The Brass Tap was an amazing experience! The customer service was absolutely phenomenal from the moment we walked in. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect during our visit. The food was incredible -- everything we ordered tasted great. The French fries were especially delicious and cooked perfectly. You can really tell they care about the quality of their food and the overall experience for their customers. If I lived in Washington, I would definitely come back all the time. This is honestly one of the best places I've ever been to. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area! I'm and I just love the vibe the lights are nice. They're playing nice music there's TVs it's generally awesome. The servers name is Tanisha and she did a great job read more

I decided to try out this craft beer spot in attempts to catch a sporting event as some of the other local locations were pretty packed. It's your typical bar spot wooden decor, large bar with plenty of tv's behind within the space as well as ample patio seating. Service was decent given the fact that they seemed limited on staff that day and trying to manage both inside and outside orders. The food menu features wings with a variety of dry rub and sauce options, shareable items like potstickers and Mac and cheese bites, tacos that come in flavors like smoked brisket and blackened cod as well as burgers, pizza, and other sandwich options (prices range from $10-$20). Their drink menu has a variety of bourbons and whiskeys in addition to the expansive craft beer options. I decided on the brown sugar bourbon wing basket that came with fries and the steak tacos. The food took awhile to come out and unfortunately it wasn't really worth the wait. As for the brown sugar wings they were decent, could have been warmer but not a bad dry rub flavor just would have benefited from use of more of the rub. The tacos were interesting I ordered them without peppers but on the menu they also are supposed to come with onion, cilantro, and white queso but they only came with queso so it basically ended up being a plain taco, in addition to the steak not being seasoned either. Overall not my best food experience even for bar food but on a positive decent pricing and I did have a pretty good beer there. read more

Better food and *way* better beer list than whatever's going on in the hotel. Alleshia was friendly and helpful--she waited on us twice this week--suggesting better food than I'd chosen, and reminding us to taste beers before ordering. If you're in the Gaylord, definitely recommended to walk a block or two. read more

Our group of about 20 people were attending a conference at the nearby Gaylord and I called about reserving some space for our group for an evening event. They were happy to accomodate us (no charge for the hightop table reservations and split bills per person) and very communicative. When we arrived we had plenty of seats at a long hightop reserved for our group and our waitron was awesome and super accommodating and friendly. The beer selection was quite large with lots of interesting local stuff. The food was solid pub food (cheese curds and wings were very tasty). This was definitely one of the best places to hang out in the National Harbor area! read more

Surprised I haven't reviewed Brass Tap. It's been one of my fav local spots to hang with friends & watch games for 10+ years. Plenty of TVs & craft beer. We popped in last night around 7:30 to check out March Madness (Final 4) games. Was a bit shocked we were the only persons of color (aside from staff) but felt welcomed just the same. Sign advised to seat ourselves. We obliged & a staff member quickly arrived to take our orders. We ordered Brussels to start along with my sangria and his chocolate stout. When our server returned- we ordered Ceasar salads w/ shrimp & a veggie pizza. Everything was hot and fragrant except the Brussels. They arrived cold after the salads in a styrofoam container. The red peppers were even cold on top. Otherwise good visit per usual. read more

This is for carry out only. Called in for an order or Sweet BBQ wings and a quesadilla. My order was ready on time and was hot. I was able to walk in, pay and receive my order within 10mins. Nothing too crazy to report here, the wings were tasty and had a good crunch and the quesadilla was decent. I paid an extra $.50 for blue cheese but it wasn't in the bag so that was a bummer. I wish they had curbside parking as the harbor has limited street parking and parking in the garage for a 5min turn around is going to run you at least $5. The harbor would benefit from cheaper parking overall but maybe they're trying to weed out certain patrons by making it a bit expensive. I'd come here again to sit in or do carry out if the circumstances were different. read more

First of all, let me say that our server who served us yesterday (Sunday) morning deserves all the raises and promotions because she dealt with my party of eight characters, helped us get a table for eight put together, and was a kind server on top of that. Thank you so much! The food is also delicious. There were nothing but yums! Got the chips trio and shared it, recommend that, it's chips plus salsa, queso and guacamole for $12. The party also got wings, fish and chips, hot honey pepperoni pizzas, a bunch of salads, and a sandwich, and it was all yums across the board. We ate outside on a really nice day and we were next to the piano bar, so I thought that was nice. It wasn't very busy. Get there early and go outside if you can, although inside is nice as well. Great place! A good place that has something for everyone and reasonable prices if you're in National Harbor and have friends or family joining you. read more

I genuinely enjoy brass tap but the service is hit or miss. Once I ordered a to go order and had to stand around looking lost before I figured out who was staff and was able to ask for my food. Since then I've been back and had a great time. On a random Wednesday night that happened to also be trivia night the vibe was really chill and we won a $10 gift card. The brown sugar wings are amazing so I decided to try it on the chicken sandwich. Does not translate at all but the tots as always are amazing and my spicy Margarita. read more

Our server Alesha, was amazing! All of the staff seem nice, friendly, attentive. Food was good! We had the loaded fries, with brisket, and it was amazing. We also got to brisket tacos and it was well seasoned with a kick as well! Lastly we got the wings, they were cooked to perfection with the crunch and crisp without being breaded, and extremely flavorful! Will definitely be back, good service, good food, good price! read more

In town for a convention, looked like a nice spot. Close to the convention center. Met up with a prospective contact and sat down. It was karaoke night. Sat for a good spell with food and drinks accompanied by live performances. Some better than the others but all in all enjoyable. Pulled pork nachos were ordered and the were good. Meat was tasty, but needed a bit more heat to melt the cheese inside. Has a chicken club wrap for entree and it was good. Ordered drinks. I would only ask they be a bit more consistent. Second drink was better that the first after an order for a second coconut rum shot as an add on. I would patron again. Would only emphasize on consistency with mixed drinks. Please don't get me wrong, the first drink was good, but second was great as it came the way one would imagine ( after a shot of coconut rum asked with the first drink) sorry it was a margarita don't remember the name. read more

nice place to stop by and have some beer and comfort food! the mac and cheese bites were so good. the quesadilla was pretty small though and i would pass on the buffalo cauliflower. drinks itself was not bad, had a sour IPA and there wasn't many people in the room so we got waited on pretty fast. overall, i would recommend this place if you're looking for a place to chill and grab some drinks with friends! read more

Fantastic beer list, middling food, and very slow service. If you are just going for drinks you should be fine, but food was very slow to come out and all very underwhelming. read more

I struggled to find a decent bite while in National Harbor. Randomly met Chris across the street (at restaurant unnamed) and he convinced me to try Brass Tap. Little did I know that he manages the kitchen. First person that greeted me was Nisha. While not a beer drinker, i instantly trusted her recommendation and she was spot on. In the end, Chris delivered the best bite in the city and Nisha provided the best hospitality. It's a must stop for anyone visiting the local area wanting a casual bite with cool locals. read more

In town for business, looking for dinner when arrived in National Harbor. Not worth eating here for sure, just very average bar food. Kind of a sports bar, seems ok to have some beer and maybe some wings. I had wings and they were ok. The chicken tacos are cafeteria grade and overpriced. Rest of the food is just like ballpark concession food. Overall, a disappointment read more

Menu and website are out of date. They no longer have beers on happy hour but it's advertised as such. The atmosphere is ok. The Cheeseburger and fries are subpar. The fries remind me of ones you'd get at a school lunch and the meat they use for the burger is not high quality. Go to in and out or a fast food joint for a burger. On the positive side, the service was good and they do have a lot of beers to choose from. read more

The Brass Tap is a sports bar with plenty of TVs and Sunday ticket for you to watch the NFL games. It was pretty empty and there were plenty of seats at the bar. I could tell they were understaffed there was only one person working at the bar. They have plenty of beers on tap and offer your typical bar food. I got their chicken wings and they have about 4-5 flavors you can choose from. The Korean BBQ was my favorite and the old fashioned I had was great. The service could have been better there were a couple of times we needed something and our bartender was just too busy. Overall great atmosphere, food, and drinks to watch the game. read more

For the price, the Hot Honey Pizza mixes sweet with savory well and is a great deal. Split some cheese curds with a friend and we're impressed with the quality of them. Even when traffic was significantly more than normal during a convention, the server was outgoing by providing thoughtful substitutes when stock was low. I was impressed that the acoustics of the room allowed me to talk to my friends and have a private conversation despite the size and the amount of people. Fantastic experience. read more

It was such a beautiful early evening I decided to check out a new spot I knew had outdoor seating. I cruised on down to National Harbor and stumbled upon this place. I had a buddy waiting for me, and he was at the bar table outside. Brass Tap's bar has both an indoor and outdoor portion -- conceptually it's cool, but the garage door / window was closed, so my buddy and I were facing the bar, but we had this big door shut in front of us. We couldn't even see the TV right inside well because of that. I thought it was a weird decision, but I imagine it's because the bartender didn't want us ordering directly from her. We did have an attentive and kind server, but it just felt weird haha. I got a decent red sangria and my buddy and I shared a couple of shooters. He got wings and some lemon pepper loaded tots that I tasted... but they could've used more lemon pepper. The cheese on them overpowered the lemon pepper! All this to say, I'd return for the vibes, and they have karaoke on Tuesdays. It's also always nice coming to spot that has both food and drink specials for happy hour :). read more

When you order a salad for delivery to a hotel and specifically ask for a fork-- because you have to; people don't have common sense-- and they hand you your bag and drive away, with no fork included, it's rather disappointing. It would be nice if restaurants put some thought into bagging up food that is delivered. read more

Our original Father's Day dinner plans fell through so we ended up here. Was service friendly: Not really Was service slow: Absolutely Okay enough with the negative, the food was very good. We ordered the usual bar foods to share with the table: pretzel, fries, wings, flatbreads, etc. The standout was the fried shrimp; delicious!! Very large selection of beers on tap, but for those (like me) who prefer wine and mixed drinks there was a decent selection of those as well. Prices were on par with the area, but the two small cheesecakes we ordered were $11 each!! Good thing they were also delicious. Not sure if I would eat here again, but I'm sure glad they were able to accommodate us when they did. read more

We arrived at this restaurant around 5pm. There were only a couple of other tables occupied. Soon after we arrived, a large group came in and so we immediately ordered our dinner and then the restaurant continued to fill. We received our food fairly quick. The chicken wings were great and the side salads were yummy and a great size but the other food was mediocre. It was my husband's birthday so I wanted him to get the dessert, the maple butter cake, so we ordered it to go. Then we waited and waited and waited. We asked our waitress twice about the status of our order and both times she said they are making it. 30 mins later she came out to tell us they were still making it but they were just really busy with the convention in town. Apparently it appears convention visitors from the Gaylord took precedence over visitors from the Wyndham. Yet we all are paying customers. Needless to say after waiting a total of 35 mins with no dessert in site we walked away and I took my husband down the street for Gelato for his birthday. That being said, I will not recommend this restaurant to any family or friends and we will not go to this restaurant here at National Harbor ever again. read more

nice spot, great location. if you go get the Bourbon Barrel beer on tap - it's delicious. food is so-so, nothing spectacular/ service could be better, tends to feel a little neglectful. overall it has great potential with more intentional commitment to service and food selection. Staff needs more in depth training on providing better service, with prompt and pleasant demeanor which costs them nothing but repeat business. i can go anywhere and be ignored and underserved, this should not be the place. overall : mediocre at best. read more
