This place is awesome! We had our wedding welcome party here and the management and staff were amazing! They handled the large crowd brilliantly and we're really accommodating! Great beers and a great atmosphere/vibe to this gastropub. Will be sure to come back here every time we are in tarrytown! read more

I wanted to love The Tapp so much, and if I had gone for only beer, I probably would have. My friend and I came on a Saturday night at 6ish for dinner and a few beers. When we first arrived, the place was pretty empty. The ambiance of the place alone is great - it's small and cozy, with great lighting and a decent amount of seating for a smaller place. The craft beer menu is also fantastic - they had a ton of varieties on the board. We started with the hummus to go along with our beers, which was fantastic. The balsamic reduction on it was a delicious treat, and it made us very excited about the food that we had ordered. Sadly, our excitement was preemptive. The service was pretty awful - a lot of gaps in between placing an order and things actually arriving. Plates and drinks were dropped and then our server disappeared, not noticing if we needed water refills or waiting to see if we had a question on anything. I ordered the Humdinger sandwich with avocado, since it was vegan and sounded fantastic. My friend ordered the pizza with extra cheese. Both were awful - my sandwich bread was tooth-chipping hard; I get toasting bread so it's a little crunchy, but this was rock hard and charred. It said it would arrive toasted, but this was burnt in so many places and unappetizing. My friend is notorious for going on and on about something he's eating when he's enjoying it (I heard about how good the hummus was about 5x while we were eating it). As I asked him how his pizza was, he muttered, "Yeah, it's pretty good." He didn't even finish it - and he said he would have preferred Ellio's frozen pizza - it was that disappointing. We both agreed that we would possibly return for drinks, but not before getting food somewhere else - this is not the place to go to on an empty stomach. The food and service were so incredibly disappointing that I'd almost prefer to just go somewhere with a less impressive beer menu, just so I could experience good food and service. read more

We have been longtime customers of the Tapp. Not anymore. As we usually do, we strolled in last night for a few drinks. Because the Tapp can feel loud, cluttered, and claustrophobic, we have always preferred a table by the window. The new owners inexplicably installed hanging light fixtures directly above exterior operable doors. So when we walked in, the door struck the fixture and the bartender screamed at us from across the bar in front of everyone - as if we're the ones who hung a pendant fixture in front of a door. Instead of being so hysterical, the bartender should have Googled "flush mount light fixture" - or locked the door, or otherwise kept it in place. The bartender warbled rude things about us to the other patrons while approaching our table, and simply threw menus at us. I told the bartender that we already knew what we wanted to order (since we're regulars), which they ignored while plodding off. This bartender was not only confused about which type of light fixtures should be installed above an operable exterior door, but exhibited great confusion about how to treat customers - especially regulars - who can easily drop at least $100 on drinks and appetizers for two. I'm not surprised that "bad service " is consistently mentioned in even good reviews about this place. To be clear, this place is expensive and one might at least expect to be treated with decency. Horsefeathers is nearby, has an extensive menu at reasonable prices, provides a much less cluttered space, and understands the concept of service. I don't mind a busy/distracted/forgetful waiter/bartender, but to be rude, hostile, and hysterical on top of that is unacceptable. We're Tapped out and won't be going back. read more

The Tapp, since the new owners took over, the place is pumping, great food, and great selection of flights, had wings, delicious creative mixed green salad. neighborhood bar where everyone knows your name. fun Tuesday trivia night,I always come up last , too busy talking, bartenders are super friendly. see you Tuesday! read more

I REALLY LOVE this place, I use to go there almost every weekend after work, but tonight 05/24/23 I was coming from the city with My daughter and we decided to stop and have a drink there but I found this gross bartender that I ever see in my life beside she make us horrible drinks , she was disrespectful, racist and again GROSS GROSS GROSS read more

Quaint tavern near the river in downtown Tarrytown. Excellent specials, a cut above bar food. Very hearty white turkey chili. The place has a low key atmosphere a definite place to go when you want a beer (full bar) or really good food. read more

I liked The Tapp. It reminded me of a lot of bars I've been to on Long Island. Their food menu looked great but we just stuck around for drinks. The bartender was very sweet and patient. I had the love potion cocktail which was a little sweet for me but good anyway! Their cocktail list for the most part is on the sweet side, but they have a great tap list. read more

This little bar is super cute, and a great place to visit in the area. We had the cauliflower bites which were delicious and the server Chris was excellent. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Their Halloween themed drinks were delicious and their mulled wine is great. read more

Nice place before Halloween. There was 4 of us and the burgers were great but the service. We waited and seated ourselves, plus waitress took her time till she was off. Then she came to us to tell us she was leaving so we can cash out. That was the only thing ridiculous. After that no one was accommodating us. BOOOO read more

A friend and I were very excited to visit and try out the Tapp. Unfortunately, we were very unpleasantly surprised. The ambiance was pretty, but the service was extremely disappointing. We took two seats at the bar, where we waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged, when it was only us and 3 other people at the bar. The table was sticky and there was a mess in front of us, and I had to ask the bartender to get a rag to clean it. We were able to see that the shot glasses and shakers were dunked into dirty sink water that had pieces of lemon in it. We received our drinks that we ordered off of the holiday special menu, and it was clear that the bartender did not make them properly. We were both looking forward to holiday themed drinks, but received the bare minimum. One of our drinks even came in a glass that was just slightly larger than a shot glass. For $17, it was an absolute waste. Not only were the drinks and atmosphere a fail, but our bartender was completely monotone. They expressed no interest or care in serving us, and it truly felt very unwelcoming. We ended up eating our food quickly just so we could leave. We ended up checking out a cooler place down the street, Horsefeathers, and it saved our night. read more

The Tapp burger is a must! Great spot right in tarrytown for date night, watching a game or just a great meal all around. Everything freshly made, nothing frozen. Fries are super good! read more

Stopped here for a beer and appetizer a few weeks ago. Wings were delicious. Beers were great. Our bartender, Leiliane (sorry for the misspelling) was incredible. Great experience. Highly recommend! read more

If you really truly love food you may experience moments like the one I'm about to describe, one that The Tapp delivers on... Sometimes when I'm eating something truly amazing I have this moment when all I can think is "all there is in this world is me and this food". I don't want to be talked to because I'm in a moment. I'm indulging in this experience. Maybe that makes me weird but then I don't want to be normal. Anyway back to the tapp .. Their grilled cheese is one of those moments. There is nothing more to say. Just go there now and eat it. If they're closed wait outside until they're open. Go now. read more

Went here during cousins weekend. Service was fine. Got a ginger beer ( I liked ). And a short rib sandwich. Good but a tad salty. Wouldn't go out of my way but would get that again or try something else. read more

Great Beers, good food, and amazing prices The Tapp is a gastropub with a good selection of beers on tap. I had a great stout and my wife had a cider on tap that was good-ish...it wasn't too sweet (the usual failing of American ciders) but it didn't have the full flavor profile of a cider like Strongbow. We went during happy hour so we are able to order off their $5 menu. The Tappan Dill Salad was wonderful with lots of lush veggie flavors and the Charcuterie Jr had a fabulous goat cheese, some reasonable prosciutto and some very tasty garlic toast. The 'olive medley' turned out to be just one kind of black olives - very flavorful but a bit mushy...I loved them but my wife not so much. We also had the house made hummus off the dinner menu - it was enormous and flavorful. Lastly, the decor was fun and welcoming and we were very pleased with the service. I've read complaints about the portion size of the happy hour items in other reviews and I must say we didn't find it an issue at all...in fact we brought food home. In short, though this was our first visit we will be back again (and again and again). read more

Great place my friends and I came here after his gig this past Friday night. its a nice venue kinda upscale establishment but really laid back and quick service wonderful options of beers and ipa's and spirits.. Will return.. read more

Food over cooked and dry. Added chicken to salad and was unaware it would be covered in hot spices. No napkins or fork for salad

I don't know what crawled into Tim's shorts to make him so upset, but I thought Piper was great when she waited on me. I normally hit the the Tapp for drinks after work and sit at the bar. The bartenders are attentive enough without being too overbearing and the drinks are phenomenal. Occasionally I'll order one of the specials, all have been awesome and quite inventive. Overall: awesome drinks and food, though it's more of a bar with fancy food than a straight up restaurant. Cool atmosphere too. read more

Great new bar. Loved the dill salad with chicken and hubs loved buffalo chicken. Great homemade hummus appetizer. Half priced drinks for happy hour 5-7 including Saturday. Please support this place! read more

The Tapp - Bars Near Me - Tarrytown, New York

Passed through here for lunch on a drive back to Philly...I had the panini d'umbria which is supposed to have "melted" mozzarella but instead had a lukewarm (or lukecold rather) piece with surprisingly unflavorful prosciutto--didn't really taste the sopressatta (if there was any) or balsamic glaze and the bread was burnt from being overtoasted. I scraped the bread with my knife since the burnt parts overwhelmed the taste of the sandwich so much, and subsequently made a dusty burnt crumb mess all over the place. My friend was drawn to the pickled onions when ordering the Tappan Dill salad but the salad came without them. The waiter was a guy in his late 30s perhaps that seemed nice enough but when my friend asked for the onions he came back from the kitchen only to say they were out of them and "yeah...it was totally insane this week"...Ok, fine, but how about giving her at least a little discount on the salad or at least saying sorry about that, could i get you something else, etc...I tried a bite of it and the cheese tasted spongy. This very well could have been unrepresentative of the normal fare but I was annoyed to have to have paid $10 plus tax and tip for a sandwich that still tasted pretty bad after having a thorough scraping. I should have said something instead of venting through this review which is ultimately pointless. But I will next time. read more

I have been going to Brute since it opened in May of 2002! The place looks great and they recently renovated with a fresh and hip new NYC East Village look which is cool. The beer list is fantastic and the creative drinks they have here are great, and they always seem to be adding and creating new ones. There is now a great new creative menu, so you definitely can get food here, which is something new. Billy Brutes version of Peanut Butter Pie is to die for, if you are not allergic to Peanuts, I don't care if you dislike peanuts as long as you are not allergic to them, You absolutely have to try the Peanut Butter pie. read more

This place is the perfect spot to go if your looking for a low key night out. Came here on a Saturday night and were seated quickly. Our group ordered a bunch of dishes to share the two that stand out were the meatball sliders and Mac and cheese. Don't go here without ordering these dishes as they are so delicious I am craving it now! Drinks are top notch had the bloodymary that has corona and tequila mixed in.... Such a brilliant concoction would have thought! Again this is a great local bar with awesome drinks and food. I will for sure be returning! read more

I just love the ambience. Friendly bartender .... Meatball sliders are excellent. Cheese board as well. Great place for a night cap. read more

Cute location unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperative so we didn't walk around the shops in the area but would want to return. Good selection of craft beers, I had the Left Hand, was silky and rich. We had cauliflower bites to start and it was a very good portion, breading was perfect and crispy. I had the lamb burger with sweet potato fries and it was excellent! The buns were toasted, toppings were perfect ratio and it was cooked to the right temperature and still juicy. Highly recommend food is a 5, ambiance was a 4. read more

My husband and I were really excited about this place. It had decent reviews and we had walked by it before and decided we were going to stop by. We went for his birthday dinner. There was one bartender and one waitress working the entire restaurant. It took us about 15 minutes to get our first drinks and the waitress was so difficult to get a hold of. It WAS busy, yes but during this busy time, the waitress left the restaurant to smoke. So for about 5 minutes, there was NO waitress on the floor. I almost NEVER tip less than 20% but I left her 10%. That is how bad it was. The food was great. But the almost non existent service took away from the experience. We will NEVER return here. read more

Great little bar that doesn't get unnecessarily rowdy. The drinks are pretty good too and they have a decent beer selection. Only complaint is that there is no food. No bar food either! I guess at least they have Goldfish at the bar. The bartender, Jeremy, will hold a conversation with you if you start one. He tends to pay more attention to his regulars, which makes sense. Just wish this bar was more pub-like and had a more relaxing, home-y feel. We need one of those in Tarrytown. read more

Best Sunday brunch around. Go for the chicken and waffles, stay for the home made, fresh raspberry margaritas! Add a cutie pie barmaid and it can't be beat!! read more

Short story: good bottled beer selection, small but well selected tap list (an IPA, a wheat, and one more), more upscale atmosphere than I'd expect in westchester (art on walls, but spare instead of the overdone promotional way). But, the prices match- 7 and 6 for the beers. I was home for the holidays and meeting a friend and this was a good place open late on a Tuesday. Busy enough to be interesting but hardly packed. Others seemed more regular customers. Bartender was nice without being that kind of fake friendly. read more

I really liked this place and I thought it was a pretty fun place to spend an hour hanging out. Talked with the bartender for a bit and got a small appetizer. I just tried the pretzels, which were pretty solid. You might think "how can you have a bad pretzel???". Well, with my luck, I have been exposed to bad pretzels. Luckily for me (and believe me, I'm not a lucky person), this was not one of those times. Great stuff. I tried a couple of their beers as well. They had a pretty decent selection. Most of their beers were fairly run of the mill local craft that you could get at most places, but it was still a nice to have choices. This place and bridge view are my favorite watering holes in Tarrytown. read more

I'll start off by saying the Halloween decor in this place was awesome! It was a super cute spot in the middle of town. Other than that, not a great experience. There was only one waitress working a full room and 4 burgers took 45 minutes to come out. When they did my burger was dripping in fat and the meat was mushy. There was also barely even a handful of fries on my plate. And for $16? I better be getting an amazing burger with a huge portion of fries. The waitress also got annoyed and frazzled when we wanted separate checks. This may be a cute place to have a few drinks, especially during the festive Halloween season, but skip the food. read more

The ground pork sandwich was amazing (but get the peppers on the side). More importantly, the service, atmosphere and staff were great. Great place for drinks and a quick bite. read more

Great Beer selection... can't beat the $4 Narragansett on draft!!! Hang and try anything on the menu. It's all good!

I've worked in Tarrytown intermittently for about three years but until this year never really explored the community of businesses that Tarrytown has to offer. After a few years of falling back on bars in White Plains, I took a chance on The Tapp after walking through Tarrytown one night and a friend who happened to work as an employee there recognized me and encouraged me to come inside. After that there was no turning back. When I am in Tarrytown, I tend to go to The Tapp pretty much once a week, sometimes several days out of the week, and each time I go I'm welcomed by the incredibly nice staff. I feel bad I don't know the female bartenders' names but Chris, the male bartender who tends to be working most nights when I'm there is a great dude. They always have a really impressive roster of craft beers in addition to a handful of your standard beers. If you're coming for a Bud Light, you're better off going to the Setback down on Main Street, but the social aspect of The Tapp is so good, the drinks are good, the food selection is good, The Tapp is one of the easiest places in Tarrytown to recommend and my personal favorite bar. read more

I don't drink so I'm not coming here for the booze. I am a serious devotee of the Tapps Buffalo wings and the friendly service of the lunch time bartender Tara. I asked for extra spicy wings and was not disappointed. My nose is still running. read more

I am really torn about this place. If I hadn't gone back a 2nd time for happy hour I probably would've given this place 5 stars. Overall: very cool hipstery décor - Edison bulbs - chalkboard diverse beer selection - waiters meh. - food very good: bier mac and cheese and flat pizza So why only 3 stars? We went to happy hour. Happy hour is supposed to be a 'cheaper' time to go to a bar after work and then because you're there already and probably had one too many you stay through to the normal price time. Well...apparently they don't get the concept here. HH: beer is only $1 off [ummm isn't it usually half price? like every other bar on the planet?] okay so not really a deal but it's something off I guess. Now the food. The HH food is LAUGHABLY small portions. I got the mac and cheese again [which I believe was about $3 off regular price] only to have them come out with a little bitty baby coffee cup of mac and cheese. I finished it all in 4 bites. The guy next to me got the HH 7' pizza and it was also hysterically small [and if you do the math. you're actually not saving anything in comparison to the large size - it's not a cheaper price ratio] If I come back it'll only be for a random dinner or something. Felt pretty cheated by the happy hour. It's more of a come-here-for-the-atmosphere kind of place. read more

Amazing beers, great service, chill and quaint vibe, so-so food. I'd probably rate this place closer to a 3.5 because of the food, but Boyfriend and I enjoyed our experience nonetheless. If nothing else, the two beers we had here -- Troegs Nugget Nectar and I believe it was the Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar -- made our visits here entirely worth the experience. We moseyed into the bar at around 4 p.m. on a Saturday to a mostly empty house, which was fine by us. Server was superbly knowledgeable about his beers and more than happy to provide us with tastings of and recommendations for different beers. The food wasn't quite as impressive, although we loved the hummus plate. If you're expecting humdrum chickpea paste, you'll be (pleasantly) overwhelmed by the sun-dried tomatoes and scallions and toasted-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside pita. BUt the teriyaki lobster roll could have used more basil and mango to really pull off the Asian fusion effect, and the Mozzarella "French Toast" definitely warranted some maple syrup on the side to really pull off the effect I'm guessing they were going for. Food aside, though, if we were ever back in town, I could definitely see us swinging by this place for a quick beer break again. read more

In all honesty, I'm not overly impressed with this place and the main reason is the limited selection of beers. Hence the name The Tapp, one would most likely expect a wider ranged beer selection but I didn't find anything about this place that makes it truly stand out. The food menu is mostly appetizers, salads and sides; perhaps The Tappas? In a general sense, with a good beer goes a good burger yet there isn't a single one on their mostly Italian themed menu. read more

A no-brainer for dinner with a beer. I came here with clients around 6:30 on a Wednesday and ordered a great local beer and the bolognaise with a house salad. Delicious, and not giant "American" portions, so I was actually able to clean my plate. We started with the house-made hummus, which was good but I would maybe order it without the balsamic glaze next time - the pita triangles were messy to handle. My colleagues had the sausage roll (giant sandwich, and delicious), and the chicken quesadillas (easily polished off). Quick service with a decent, wide-ranging beer selection. Recommended. read more

Stopped in late on a Sunday night for a quick bite to eat. Great little pub. Brendan is a great barman and kept our group of three fed and watered. Best pizza on the planet! Cozy little snug for a relaxing chat and bevy. read more

The Tapp - Pizza!! - Bars Near Me - Tarrytown, New York

The Tapp deserves 5 stars for their impeccable staff. I came on a Wednesday night with friends to grab a drink. Two minutes after ordering our first beers, my friend accidentally knocked over hers with her purse. Within seconds a staff member swooped in to wipe up the mess, and the bartender gave my friend another drink free of charge! Not to mention their Halloween decorations were on point! I will definitely return to The Tapp. read more
