    Lots of beers on tap!
    Taj M.

    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!

    Happy Hour beer selections

    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!

    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.

    Blue cheese for my 10 Chicken Wings
    Mo M.

    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.

    The food that I completely devoured, it's the chicken sandwich. I just took off the lettuce.

    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

    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.

    White Sangria
    Alexis B.

    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.

    Nothing like the neighborhood restaurant, black owned I hear! Great customer service and will return! Drinks were awesome! A quick visit back! Pizza and Cesar Salad for dinner! Baes favorite place.

    Brown Sugar Bourbon Wings
    Donna-Marie T.

    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.

    Chicken Club Wrap
    Loins M.

    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.

    I'm not sure Yelp will give me enough space to really explain how great this place is, on so many…read moredifferent levels. Let's start with the beer selection -- out of this world. Verified Untappd venue (iykyk), with what seems like endless taps and an even more impressive selection of cans/bottles. Bartenders are pretty damn knowledgeable about the product as well, which as a beer nerd is perfect. The food is fantastic. From appetizers (the fried vegetables are heaven) to entrees, it's the perfect amalgamation of classic bar food and Indian cuisine. Today when I was in I had the Taphouse (Lamb) Burger with fries and a side of their Makhani sauce (Pic attached). If a place has a lamb burger it's my immediate go to every time, and I have to say Taphouse has the best I've ever had. The lamb was cooked and seasoned perfectly, the vegetables were fresh, and that feta is that perfect accompaniment to round it off. The Makhani sauce is just good on everything. Could drink it. Not kidding. The venue offers a welcoming outdoor area and a semi-private indoor space perfect for events. I've booked Taphouse for both corporate and personal gatherings, and it's the easiest, most reliable spot in the County for hosting by far. Beyond the food and drink, Taphouse, and especially Sunny (the owner) are one of the most community engaged businesses in Southern Maryland. They have put on countless events supporting all types of local organizations, and always work with nonprofits when they need anything. Taphouse and Sunny himself really serve as one of the best ambassadors of St. Mary's County, especially since a large portion of the customers are transient. All in all, 100% a must try if in the area. But be warned, if you do, you will be coming back constantly.

    Katelyn was amazing! She never made our party feel ignored. The ambiance of the room was welcoming…read moreand the advice on the types of beers to try were welcomed. Will definitely be returning.

    Wow, what a quaint British pub in the middle of Vienna. Parking is a little tight for this area,…read morebut you can definitely find some spots in the back on a weekday. I ended up biking and there's a bike stand really close by. My friend was craving fish and chips, so we ventured out this way. Because we came on a Thursday they had a deal going where if you ordered a pie, you could get a beer for free. Of course I had to partake, so I ordered the special pie, which was a masala, chicken, curry pie, and it was quite good. A bit small for the price point but with the beer included totally worth it also because their fries are so good. I could demolish over a pound of those fries. They were thick potato and maybe the extra added bonus of having to use a glass ketchup bottle added to it. My friend and I were also taught how to properly hit the ketchup bottle to get the ketchup out by the bartender. You find the 57 on the bottle at an angle and bump you palm there that instead of hitting the bottom and hoping and praying that ketchup comes out. It actually worked or at least it was more efficient than trying to hit the bottom of the bottle upside down. I had never had a hand pumped beer before, but it was quite good. They are a warm beer rotating and it was quite good, it especially paired well with the pie or fish and chips.

    This pub had excellent food & drinks. And a whole menu for many Gin & Tonic options…read more We enjoyed curry mussels, steak& ale pie, British fries and curry chicken salad. They had several pimms cups too. Highly recommended.
