We had the option to sit either indoors or outdoors with our dog, which was a great plus. While they don't serve food on-site, there are plenty of nearby restaurants, and you're welcome to bring food in. We grabbed a truffle mushroom pizza from next door, and it was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend! read more

This is mostly a store, with a great selection of craft beers as well as wines. They have about 24 beers on tap that are a good selection of different types. They also host tastings by different vendors. Tonight it was Sierra Nevada Brewery with their Bigfoot Barleywine ale. Tasting the differences between the 2023 versions and older versions. It's amazing what just 2 years does the flavor profile of a good beer! But what truly blew me away was their unisex family bathroom. Y'all!!! They no only have a baby changing cart, it is stocked with various size diapers, wipes, pads and tampons. Like ... ! I'm going to be in the area for the next few months and I already know I'm going to be here alot. read more

A long time personal favorite. The Community Tap boasts an amazing selection of craft beer, both on draft for on-site consumption and plenty of cans or bottles for take-home options. They also have a nicely curated wine selection in addition to some ciders or seltzers if that's your jam. No kitchen, but they offer some small snacks or cheeses to accompany your drink - and they regularly have food trucks almost every evening. Even with their awesome beverage choices, the crown jewel of The Community Tap is the staff. Always friendly. Capable of educating you without being remotely condescending. Exceptionally knowledgeable of their offerings. Zach, Neil, and Kelsey have never steered me wrong, and I wish I had the time and space to name every one of their staff. Truly a pillar of Greenville's craft beer scene. read more

This is a great place. I have only been once and it is clearly a "locals" kind of place, but I was feeling the love as a out of towner and a first timer. Bartenders Zach, Kirby, and Tyler are very congenial. You can tastings of wine and beer before you make a decision. Inside is spacious, but I love that outside covered porch. A food truck is there daily in the evening, but always check their schedule on the website. Can't wait to go back! read more

We attended a Friends of the Reedy River meeting here and I was blown away by all the selections of beers and wines. The facility was slammed so there was no time for a lot of interaction with the staff but the limited contact was positive and friendly. The Tap is clean and there were food trucks on site but our food was provided inside so I cannot speak to the trucks or their offerings. And just in case you like DARK brews, may I recommend Chocolate Sex--it's a beer, people! And a most delicious beer! There is parking lot on the premises but on a busy evening you may have to park at nearby businesses and take a short walk to Community Tap so be forewarned read more

Even during COVID this place is amazing! The service has/is always spectacular. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about what is on tap and in stock. They offer a relaxed atmosphere where you feel welcomed all hours of the day. They have rotating taps so you're palate is always satisfied. It is also family friendly and great for large groups. Hopefully, their fun events will start back up soon. read more

The Community Tap - a glass of beer on a table - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Definitely had a mixed experience here. Some of the staff was great and friendly. One girl behind the bar was snippy and almost seemed annoyed by our questions about the beers being offered. The space itself is pretty cool. There are separate rooms that help keep the noise down and a nice patio area when the weather is nice. In addition to the taproom they also have a retail area with a huge selection. Kind of bummed we couldn't consume any of those beers in the taproom. read more

The Community Tap - Pisgah pale ale - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

This is a great local place to stop by and get some brews! They usually have about 20 beers on tap, and then there's a large selection of different and unique beers that you can purchase in the coolers. Seriously, this is where I go when there's a weird, random beer that I want to try. They also have wine! The prices can be a little high, and it can get insanely crowded on some nights. There is parking in the back by the patio and outdoor area, though. The food trucks that are sometimes there have always been good, (special shout-out to "We Got The Beets"!) The place has always been clean, the staff has always been friendly and knowledgeable, and the fact that this place is family and dog friendly makes it all the more awesome. read more

Even though (because of Covid-19) we have not been able to set foot inside this building for weeks, they deserve a five star review for their operations during this crisis. The Community Tap has been exceptionally diligent and intentional about creating and maintaining community during their shutdown. Their virtual date nights provide an engaging experience and have been the highlight of our week. During these events, they recruit other business partners to support and highlight their work. Instead of resorting to an "us against them" survival mode, Community Tap puts into practice "together we are stronger". Their Mother's Day brunch was also a godsend for this mother who is far away from her children during this time. Thank you to Community Tap for everything you have done to serve the community at large, and our household in particular during this time. Ten stars! read more

I came in on a Monday at 3:00 pm, I was two feet into the store when what I assume is an employee asked if I was looking for anything in specific as he blocked my path to the rest of the store. It was awkward to be blocked in an isle, no greeting, and no time to even look around. I asked if there was a bar and he pointed to the back of the place which I couldn't see because he was blocking my view. The music was mostly instrumentals at a gentle volume which was nice. The place looks clean and dogs are welcomed on the heated patio. The crowd is older and grey, not a bad thing but not much of a meeting place for 20-30 somethings. The folks who come in are the type to listen to their meetings on speaker while holding the phone to their ear and leave their notifications noises on so phones are pinging loudly... awkward. I wouldn't come back except to maybe shop for wine or with a friend. read more

My favorite North Main watering hole with a beer board and wine menu that changes almost daily. Love sampling (just a little bit) all of the hearty stouts and digging into a new beer once in a while. Since I'm GF, I stick to the wine menu. These folks know their wine and offer a broad range of $20-$30 bottles. I love a wine that challenges my palate... Nothing better than rolling up at The Tap in the afternoon, grabbing a bag of Route 11 chips or some charcuterie from the cooler and settling in for a glass and a nosh. 650 different kinds of beer to choose from. 175 family vineyard wines. It will be your fave too. read more

I have been to The Community Tap a few times and finally feel compelled to write a review. It's a cute little beer bar that offers a wide variety of beers and some wines on tap. You can choose to drink by the pint or get a flight of four, and just about every time that I have been there, they have a food truck in the back. The staff is friendly and give you good recommendations based on your taste in beer. I only give it four stars because The place has been completely packed every time I've been. I guess that's a good thing, they have a ton of regulars and it's a very popular spot for people who live in the area, but it makes it uncomfortable when you sit at a community table with a bunch of other people. In all, I like the spot, I like the food trucks, and I will continue to visit occasionally. read more

Good brewery, great craft beers, good location, tables inside and outside, good service, clean, board games, they bring food truck if you are hungry and we had a great time with salsa dancing classes. read more

Real nice spot to enjoy a local craft brew..I love how they re purposed an old busboy left some of the signage in place from the old business..they usually have food trucks here if you want to grab a bite.. read more

Wonderful selection of local and European beers and wine. They have food trucks on popular nights and a nice patio, I wish it was larger. The flight is a good option to try a selection. The prices are higher than expected. Make sure you visit the next door neighbor boutiques, they're wonderful too! I'm excited to see this neighborhood expand and grow. read more

I'm a fan of this business model. A long bar with craft beer/wine on tap, and rotating food trucks in the parking lot. We came on a night where Automatic Taco was the food truck, DELICIOUS! Loaded tacos are an understatement. The space inside is very cool, with long community tables, a hidden room with a shelf of board games, and a heated porch. Our party of four had a nice night at Community Tap! read more

We have visited a few times, and loved them until today! Great takeaway beer & wine selection, usually have a food truck. This afternoon we came with our kiddo (we often see other people bring kids) and the person working came to us in the other room to let us know we should not let our kid wander around. I was right next to her. It was extremely rude and judgy. Probably won't be back simply because I don't tolerate people judging how I parent. No thanks! If you don't have kids with you, great place! read more

This place is awesome. The staff is knowledgeable and very accommodating. I go there and rarely have to make a choice as to what i want to try. The bartenders Chuck/Chad/Cammie always seem to know exactly which beer i should "try" on the visit. I realize they are making this up by remembering what i enjoyed in my previous visits. But it pretty impressive to remember what one of their customers, who visits only about every 2 weeks, has had previously. That is great customer service. Keep up the great work! read more

The Community Tap - #17 is aged in whiskey barrels. You can't go wrong. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Community Tap is my go-to beer store whenever I can get out to Wade Hampton. (Seriously, its location and the fact that it is out of the way for me is the only reason I don't stop by there more often.) The expanded location is definitely an improvement...I just still wish they were closer to me :) It can certainly get a bit crowded/busy here at times, but again, the new location has improved upon that. There's often a food truck outside, which is great, and of course the selection at CT is one of the best in town (both in terms of growlers and bottled beers). The staff is knowledgeable, passionate, and generally very friendly. Of course the taps are constantly rotating as well, so while it's hard to get here enough to catch all the good ones, having new options is never a bad thing. read more

Cool hang-out spot for sure! Community Tap boasts about 20 different craft beers on tap as well as a large variety of wines. The brews range from IPAs to porters to gose from local breweries as well as well known breweries in neighboring states. For food, they have different food trucks on different nights - go on their website, they have them listed! There's also King of Pops; who doesn't love a refreshing popsicle with their cold drink?? They have a neat collection of games in the back also. Overall, a laid-back and fun atmosphere! read more

Workers were very friendly and willing to answer any questions we had. We really enjoyed both outdoor patios. Beer I thought was very tasty and they had many varieties. They could use better signage because the place is awesome but I drove by 20 times and never noticed it. read more

The Community Tap is one of our favorite places in GVL. The atmosphere, staff, and selection can't be beat. They have a great outdoor area and they always have the best food trucks. It's the bomb! read more

Cool little spot. They've got quite a plethora of choices on tap except for IPA's. I love IPAs but was not impressed by the four they had on tap. Limited selection in their bottle shop and they were carrying quite a few beers that you can buy at a local grocery store for cheaper. Covered outdoor area and plenty of parking out front. read more

Prices are a little steep on some items but overall a nice place to slide into for some nice beer and good conversation.

Casual family hangout. Have a beer or wine and catch up with your neighbors at the end of the week.

This is my favorite place to grab a beer in Greenville. It's truly the definition of a "neighborhood joint". Plenty of locals and regulars so you really get to know folks. The staff is friendly and the beer rotates a good amount. There are plenty of options when it comes to beer in Greenville, but they all fall short of the Community Tap. read more

Best bar/community hub in town. Staff are excellent and so friendly! Great place to go with friends or alone to work/read.

Great Place. Good selection of Beers. The staff is knowledgeable and cordial. A bit crowded at times but a great place to hang out with friends. read more

The best sours I have had. It is such a good atmosphere and great selection. They have so many different wines and their staff is very knowledgeable about everything and good at giving suggestions! read more

I'd never move back to Greenville, but The Community Tap sure does make it a lot nicer to go back for a visit. Positioned strategically down Wade Hampton Blvd from Bob Jones University, it is the go-to place for a student's beer needs. Only kidding, people! A Bob Jones student would never drink. Or would they....? Community Tap has quite a nice selection of beers and will continue to grow that selection as they grow, I'm sure. I follow their Facebook page so I can see what they have on tap to keep my growler full and happy. I have to send a family member in to do my dirty work for me if there's something I'm just dying for and I know it won't last long. Make sure you join the growler club so you can get your 11th fill free. read more

Hey! What's up? Pete is kewl. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. He offers useful advice and a nice smile. I would like him to rub my belly but there are probably food service regulations against that. They have a great selection, and Pete will refill a wide selection of growlers. Pete will also give you tastes. Pete is so groovy. Thank you I know. read more

Great venue and great selection of beers on tap, but they will not pour pints. Only 14 ounce max. I haven't encountered this before

I like this place as an alternative to the hustle and bustle of downtown bars... its off the usual beaten path for me, although still quite accessible. They have quite the palate for great beers and their tap roster can usually please the even a fervent beer enthusiast. Not complete "beer snobbery" here, but still a class above the rest of your mainstream watering holes. No food served here, just beer, plain and simple. Outdoor seating on the patio is wonderful on the milder days, with a view of a quiet neighborhood in the distance. The staff has an overall professional, not overly friendly, demeanor and you can expect a medium to high price point. Try it out and taste some rarities along side your old time favorites, Enjoy! read more

Love this place! My husband and I moved here from Chicago and LOVE craft beers, mostly trying any and every IPA we can get our hands on. We thought our best option was Whole Foods until our neighbors told us about the Community Tap. They have an awesome selection of bottled and draft beer (with growlers of it that you can take home...score!), along with wine. They also offer many wine and beer tastings, usually at $10 a piece, which is super affordable considering the fact that it's not cheap beer we're trying. The guys there are very knowledgeable and love and appreciate their beer just like their customers! If you are looking for some new wine or beer to try, or just want to learn a little more about them definitely go here! Even if you don't, definitely go here! haha can you tell we love this place?? :) read more

We were lucky enough to get a recommendation to stop by Community Tap from a friend while we were in Greenville. As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted by Ed who showed us around the place. They have all manner of craft beer bottles, 10 or so beer growler stations and 3 wine growler stations. The wine growlers were new to me but it must work, otherwise people wouldn't buy them. The wife wanted to try a Pinot on tap and she really like it. She described it as very smooth and light, and Ed was very knowledgable about wines, as well as beer. We wound up hanging around for over an hour, as I drank a few beers while perusing the bottle selection. I wound up with 2 growler, 2 beer bottles and 1 cider plus 1 wine for the wife. They do have a few tables in the back to sit down and while they have no kitchen, they do have regular food trucks providing food to pair with their beer options. Community Tap is definitely a must stop for any beer lover whenever in Greenville and I will certainly return in the future. read more

Their new bigger space is awesome! It's in the same plaza...just 3 doors down. New bar seating, a separate room of tables, outdoor seating, and a whole wall of refrigerator cases for beers to go. Have they added more wine and beer taps? Why YES THEY HAVE! As always, if there's food truck in the parking lot, you can grab a bite and bring it in to a table to enjoy. GREAT expansion! read more

And this place just officially got even cooler... http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/30/growlers-for-grapes/ Way to go guys on the write up in the NY Times! read more

Wonderful and knowledgable staff make The Community Tap a must go to after a long day at work. Varied selections, which are changed frequently, are a wonderful way to find what your "taste" is. This is a very un-snobbish bar/store with generous indoor and outdoor seating. Food trucks are usually on premises for dining. Community Tap closes early (9:00 pm) which ensures no hangover for the next day. Unless you're like me and get some "to go" beers for when you get home. Also, growlers and re-fills are available. Take advantage of some hard to find brews and get it straight from the keg!!! read more

Great place to hangout and drink wine or have a good beer. The food trucks change out daily so no worries about drinking on an empty stomach. If there is no food trucks they have baguettes from swamp rabbit cafe and very very good pimento cheese. read more
