Great patio! We came by here around 4pm on a sunny afternoon for some burgers on the patio, and…read morethis place did not disappoint. The patio was fairly with constant turnover while we were there, the weather was great, and the service was A+! The inside definitely has a dark dive bar vibe, good for some occasions but not super family friendly, but we felt comfortable having a little one with us out on the patio. The food was delicious! We tried the "wings" (made of chicken thighs) and they gave regular wings a run for their money! You can do two flavors which is great, and they're very filling. We also got a burger and the special of the night, chopped cheese, and thought it was delicious. Great portions, we had a ton left to take home. The cocktail was delicious as well, will definitely try more when we come back next to hang out on the patio! Come check this place out!

We went on a Sunday night and were able to get right in…read more Food 3/5: we got a peach old fashioned, beer, buffalo wings, hot turkey, and turkey Reuben. The old fashioned was very sweet, the buffalo wings were flavor wise okay but overcooked and a bit dry, and overall the turkey on both the hot turkey and the turkey Reuben was dry but covered in sauce. Service 3/5: we sat for awhile until someone came over and apologized that our server changed. We did get a beverage but it took almost 20+ minutes for someone to take our food order. Ambiance 3/5: it was nice to be able to sit outside, the flip side was we were swatting flies the entire time. We loved the water feature, but my husbands arm was getting spritzed the entire dinner. Overall they have good options and a ton of seating, but food quality, service and ambiance could use some work.

I got a salad and it came loaded with cheese and cucumbers. You get your choice of dressing. The spaghetti itself was good. The sauce is thin but flavorful. It also comes with meatballs. There was also delicious buttered toast on the side. I had two plates of spaghetti and left with leftovers for 12 dollars before tip. Was it the best spaghetti I've ever had? No, my aunt owns an Italian restaurant but it was homestyle. It hit the spot and the value cannot be beaten. The restaurant was PACKED at 4:30 PM and there was a reason for that. Service was great as well. I will happily add Spaghetti Tuesdays to my rotation.

Went here the other day…read more Had wings, pizza and the potato skins. Service was decent. Nothing too crazy. Typical dive bar aesthetic. Dark lighting and some sports going on in the background. If you live close and there are no other options, then come but otherwise probably not worth it. I do not recommend it.

Really captures a fun dive bar and pub energy that makes you want to recommend it to others.

Nice that they have both indoor and outdoor seating options.

It's not a manufactured wanna be but a place where the customers receive warm personal greetings, great food and a true Guinness pour.

The patrons were clearly enjoying the atmosphere and two people came over and started a lively conversation that made us feel like a part of the neighborhood.

On awkward waiting wondering if this is one of those places where you can just seat yourself. The place is clean and the ambiance has some very nice touches to bring intrigue. The subtle candle-like light fixture was corky and added to the charm. Prices are very reasonable! I had a good idea what I wanted prior to stopping in. Food came out quickly. Less than 10 mins. Lupia was hot and delicious. My first time having one so wilk not compare it to an egg roll. The braised beef rib was tender and juicy. I pulled out the knife but only a fork is necessary. I do wish the meat was a tad saltier but just a personal preference there. Service was pleasant, attentive, and quick. The gentleman who greeted me also thanked me on my way out. It was rather pleasant experience overall and am planning on coming back to try more of the menu!

Being a British pub I had to try the fish and chips, and they did not disappoint. Rich and flavorful, crispy and nicely cooked. My only real pause on coming here more often would just be the price. It's decorated with various flags and had a wall of flat panels showing soccer games - this was during the World Cup so that made sense. The space is a lot more open than in most pubs I've been to, but I don't consider that a bad thing at all.

Delicious and came with fries, also delicious. Fish and chips - the one is honestly enough for $21, I understand $28 seems high for a meal but you're getting a crazy amount of food if you go for it. Delicious, nice white fish comes with an above average tartar and lemon, and the same delicious fries. Good UK options on tap including Old Speckled Hen which tastes like a British accent and they have a better than average pour of Guinness. Just one block outside of the Skyway so you know, they do have a second floor... Just saying, Skyway beckons.

Now we have a conundrum the next time we have to choose a pizza type because it was fantastic! Which do we get next time? Both? The sausage and jalapeno was spicy and savory, and the Coney Island was like a hotdog and a pizza had a baby and the best traits of both parents went into it! The Coney pizza ..for those who are curious...is a pizza with a Coney sauce base, cut up Ambassador dogs (the best kind), plenty of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, and then topped with chopped onions and mustard. It literally tasted like a hotdog...only it was pizza. Just terrific! It was a good day and we'll be back again and again. Again, it's not a fancy place...it's a comfortable and friendly place where you enjoy an afternoon or evening with your fellow humans. The best kind of place :)

Oh man. Where to begin... I've been going to tappers since 2010, before I was even 21. It was the…read morespot for the neighborhood usuals and it was a great atmosphere. But as the new owners have taken over, things shifted. Generally it was fine but in the last couple months things have gone downhill. The last straw was when I went in for a single drink with a friend, early in the evening and when we got our tabs, we filled out our receipts and left our tips and went on with our evening. The next morning, I was called by my bank about a suspicious tip amount that I had recently left (aka the evening before). These cheapskate cheaters and thieves working at the bar had changed my tip amount egregiously. On one single pint, I think I paid $7/$8? And my tip amount was over $30 making my one beer almost $40. If that is what tappers has become, it is no longer that quaint and unique neighborhood dive bar that Chris and Steve had bought back in the early 2010s. The icing on the top was that one of the owners was actually our bar tender that evening. Slimey and shady and when we called to inquire, we were hung up on. Let this place go back to the dogs. At least the drunks and townies that used to call Tappers their neighborhood pub weren't stiffing the customers.
