    This place is great!  Many craft beer options, located right in Ponce City Market.  The staff behind the bar were very knowledgeable and friendly, helping us to lock down our choices.

    Beer and wine from The Tap On Ponce
    Bruce K.

    The Tap is technically a bottle shop and therefore, they are not allowed to provide samples and you are not allowed to drink the beer on site. But they're just a small shop in the much larger Ponce City Market so once you've made your selection and it is appropriately packaged to go, you can sit at any of the tables or benches in the market and consume! I got a tin of their kolsch and my friend got a unique white wine that she's not seen before. Her wine came in a "sippy cup" sort of container that looked like a juice box. And technically, it was a juice box! Lots of choices and the prices seemed fair! [Review 18920 overall - 558 in Georgia - 2443 of 2022.]

    Love the tap! They have a menu that's always changing based on what's in season which I love. People are also super nice, and I like to ask them what's good + let them know what I'm feeling and they'll give great recommendations. The place isn't sit-down, but obviously there's lots of places to hang out at Ponce City Market.

    This is not one of those pretentious craft beer joints- really friendly staff that answer all of your questions graciously. ... also... REALLY good beer If you see my feed, you see my beers. This place nails it. I had the 8oz bottle of Pilsner from the menu board. Very simple order process spelled out for you... you pick the container you want, pick the beer, and check out. I picked the plastic bottle and took a to-go plastic cup to sit and drink in the common area of PCM. The beer was crisp, full bodied and very reasonably priced. Wish I lived in walking distance, this is such a good spot to swing by for an afterwork beer. 5 stars for beer taste, price for the size of beer, covid cleanliness, and all staff being helpful & friendly

    ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. There was a great selection of beers and ciders and the staff were incredibly friendly. I'm a huge fan of sours and will definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend if you're looking to grab a drink with a friend and catch up with a chill vibe.

    The Tap on Ponce has a variety of beers and a small and okay wine list. My husband and I had two wines here -- a pinot noir and a Rioja -- that were served to us in 8 oz plastic bottles. Despite the hipster setting of Ponce City Market, I would have preferred not drinking wine out of a plastic bottle. I would suggest Tap on Ponce getting some wine glasses, or plastic cups. Happy Hour specials would be nice too.

    First time here! One of the biggest beer shops I've ever been to. You stand in line, pick the beer you want to drink. The staff was very nice. The Tap is located inside Ponce City Market.

    Beer to go? Yes please. Didn't expect to see craft beers in the South. They're a staple in the West Coast. I was pleasantly surprised with the variety of beers on tap. I wish there were more local beers available. They do have quite a bit of IPA so if you're not in the mood your selection might be less. I had the Mexican Empire Lager. It was crisp and refreshing. Clever how it was poured into a can for that hipster feel. Not sure if there was a tasting option but would've loved to create my own flight of local brews.

    A large variety of beers and wine on tap. You have many different sizes you can have your alcohol in (8oz to 64oz) I was impressed with the good selection of imports, especially the Belgian wheats. I also found a drink my son wanted called Bang (energy drink).I guess it's a rare drink that isn't offered in Buffalo, NY. This place is well worth the visit for the beers and wine.

    Beer in the refrigerator case.

    Wonderful beer selection! Lots of options for beer and wine on tap which is great! I noticed a lot of the beers were local Georgia beers. Not sure if the wines were local though but I thought it was cool that you can get wine on tap as well so almost everyone in your group can leave with something they're looking forward to enjoying. They also have a pretty decent canned beer selection in the refrigerated cases. I noticed the prices for the canned beer of the same style and quantity was about half of the on-tap beers. So if you just want a regular beer with your meal, this actually is a good option at half the price than the on tap beer price. Beer nerd alert! I actually bought a beer from the refrigerated case that was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. It was a spring seasonal Sierra Nevada Hop Bullet Double IPA stove pipe which is a 19.2oz can at 8% ABV for only $3.99 as compared to the $4.99 and up for the 16oz option of the on tap beers. This particular beer has a ("ballistic burst of aggressive hop character") Sierra Nevada created specifically for this beer using a "double-barreled slug of Magnum hops and lupulin dust" that is added right into the fermenter. End beer nerd alert! You can drink your alcoholic beverages anywhere inside of Ponce City market, which is actually a great option.

    Always my favorite spot for grabbing a lager while looking for my next meal in the Ponce Market. They have a variety of beers on tap. They also carry a variety of local beers in the can or bottle. You can also get some large size growlers to take your beer home. This is a great spot to hangout at & enjoy some good brews. The staff is usually friendly & very knowledgeable.

As for the food, I've really only ever tried their smokehouse burger, Asian-style loaded fries, and chocolate chip cookie skillet. The burger is super juicy and perfectly cooked, while the sauces and crispy bacon married it together. I've tried the Asian-style loaded fries (pictured below) twice now, and I honestly don't recommend it unless you like your char siu pork to be drenched in salt. It was nearly inedible both times. As for the chocolate chip cookie skillet, it was delicious, I practically inhaled the whole thing! The thing that honestly keeps me coming back is just the overall vibe of the place! It's always lively since it's right on the Beltline, very staff member I've encountered is so chill and great, and it's just such a fun spot to just chill out with your friends!

So I hit the x on the screen to close out of the other customers transaction, and the bartender rushed over and started berating me with "what are you doing you don't touch that" and even had the audacity to ask "you didn't put anything in did you?!??" At which point we explained and placed our order with drinks took the flag with the table number to go sit down After which, the bartender came to our table and was somehow even more of an asshole, and told us that "you're supposed to wait for these diet cokes I can't bring them to you" We were both quite angry. This person is awful. I don't know why anyone would behave this way with customers. It's not acceptable and reflects quite poorly on the establishment that this person works there. We wish everyone the best but will not be returning in the future. I don't recommend anyone eat here.

The wings were all well seasoned, and even the dry rub wings didn't taste dry. It tasted tender and juicy and I've never experienced that before with dry rub wings. We ordered the lemon pepper buffalo wings, buffalo wings, and Korean bbq buffalo wings and a side of fries. Our favorite was the buffalo wings. It had the right balance of juiciness and flavor. I wouldn't recommend the Korean bbq wings since it didn't have enough tangyness to it and didn't stand out. The French fries are a must order. The fries were so crunchy, and they were still crunchy even towards the end when we were almost finished eating. We arrived 30 minutes before they opened on a Friday and there were already people waiting in the lot which was crazy! It started raining while we were waiting in line and the line got even longer. If you're planning to try The Local, I would recommend coming on a regular weekday or come earlier if you're coming on the weekend because the line is crazy. There is some seating inside and outside the bar. We got there early enough to swipe a table. There were people standing and waiting for a table while waiting for their orders. Service was excellent!

We arrived there exactly at 5 PM, when it opens, but there was already a pretty extensive line. A little outside the entrance, they check your ID, which I had no idea was a thing. So make sure you have your IDs with you and are 21+. There's a bar area for drinks and a separate counter where you will order and pay for your food. (They make it pretty explicit that you can't get wings to-go.) Find a seat, and once your food is ready, they'll announce your name, and you pick up your food from the window. FOOD: We got wings in the flavors of lemon pepper (dry rub), sun-dried tomato (dry rub), buffalo lemon pepper (wet), and jerk buffalo (wet). I will say that I definitely preferred the wet wings to the dry wings. I found the dry wings to be a little too salty. In my opinion, the wings and the cook on them were just okay. I wasn't blown away or anything. Maybe the relatively cheap beer and the vibes help draw in all the appeal. TLDR// I don't think I had the greatest wings of all time here, but the vibes were really casual and pleasant. I'm glad I was able to try a place so beloved by locals.

I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!
