    Visiting from VA and we were looking for a dive bar. Ended up here. Great service from our bartender and the people in the bar were very friendly. Has a jukebox and plenty of tv's to watch your favorite sports. I don't know what was going on with the AC but it was definitely warm in there.

    Best bar in Davenport. Fantastic bartenders, great regulars, and the best prices you'll find. Can't recommend this wonderful place enough.

Great service, check (Ted & Liz were AWESOME). Thinking about becoming a regular at 1845 Tap House. For food, they have a limited menu, and also food trucks. I stumbled into 1845 Tap House on a Friday night after a long day at work without expectations. This is the part where I say, "and then I fell in love." They have a great selection of liquor and craft beer on draft. And they even have food. And did I mention the drinks are super reasonable. Wanted to set a tent up outside and stay, but I am sure that is not allowed. There was a guy on guitar crooning. Oh, and their house beers are awesome. The BEER: 1845 Shape Shifring Lizard IPA 6.3% ABV... OMG, this IPA is slightly juicy and well balanced. 1845 We Wants the Red Head red ale 5% ABV... this red ale is an all day Irish Red. Delicious. 1845 Drop the Puck imperial hazy IPA 9.8% ABV... so very good, juicy and sneaky, because 2 or 3 of these and you will be Ubering home. 1845 Secret Stash imperial Stout 10% ABV... like coffee, semi sweet dark chocolate and a hint of peanut butter. This is a better version of Sweet Baby Jesus, if you are familiar. FIRE!!!! And I found out why the draft here is exceptional. Their brewer is Florida Ave out of Tampa. So if you are in Davenport and looking for a good time, definitely stop at 1845 Tap House.

I never expected this to happen..... on Friday June 28th, 2025 my friends and I were grossed out by guys who I guess never have seen women a day in their life! This man harassed us the entire night, and made sure to go everywhere we went. While talking to our friend that was a regular about it she decided it was best to tell the bartenders, (who did nothing btw). They did nothing, they ignored the situation and kept serving the man drinks. The guy than kept on with harassing and locking in on me and my friends, we decided to leave because nothing was being done about it (keep in mind it's happening right in front of them), the man follows us outside, we get into our vehicle and leave. He follows us all the way to 27 where I had to pull into the police station. That's when he decided not to follow anymore. So I was able to make it back home and safe. No thanks to the bartenders and the facility. The point of this is, the bartenders knew what was going on! And instead of trying to help multiple women they focused more on getting a "good" tip from a creep and allowed him to stay at the bar. They are fully aware of the man because one of the girls told us he was weird. We've spoke to one of them days before about this and she said "if it happens again, let us know" welllllllll you see how that went. Ladies. I don't recommend!

    I love dive bars, especially one's with iconic views, fantastic service and reasonable prices…read more What makes it even better is the seafood which is quite good. Stopped here on a Sunday afternoon right after visiting one of my favorite breweries in the area. Had never been here before and didn't know what to expect. Looks can be deceiving, because from the outside the place didn't look inviting. In fact as I was entering the patrons who were leaving were jokingly asking if I was afraid to go in. Well, challenge accepted. The place wasn't as diverse as I'd like, but there was a good mix of people. There was a guitarist playing live and once I was seated the servers, both of the whom were outside, made me feel more than welcome. In fact, it was the best service I have had in quite a while. I was expecting much less and I got way more than I could have imagined. We sat outside. When you enter, there is a bar right there to you right and as you walk in and around there are tables on the outside deck. Once you get to the back, that is where the entrance is to the inside bar. And just as a footnote, the bathrooms were clean which was an awesome surprise. Ordered oysters, 12 dressed and steamed, can't remember what they called them, but there is definitely a picture and 1/2 dozen raw. They were very good. Also ordered some wings, which were both breaded and fatty. Didn't like them and they were gracious enough to remove them from the bill. Also ordered steamed shrimp which were awesome. For drinks we had a blue martini special drink and I had $1 Narragansett specials which is a really great beer. I had 2 and felt really guilty about having a great beer at such a cheap price. I know why it was on special, because it tasted like it was almost ready to go, but it wasn't gone and it really hit the spot. Suffice to say, I will be returning. There are too many great things happening at Old Man Frank's for me to not be craving this experience again.

But.... the service is absolutely awful, like really bad at night. I have been here 3 times, once for lunch where the service was good, but the kitchen was slow. And twice at night, where the service was slow and the kitchen was slow. And at night, they have all the lights on like if the bar was going to close. And it is like that all night. I think they are trying to be more of a restaurant, but let's face it... Davenport's Sports Bar is a dive bar with the lights turned all the way up. Seems like industrial style lighting on a manufacturing scale. The food is okay. It is bar food. Did I mention how bad the service is? There were 5 servers including the bartender, couldn't figure out if there was a manager, but I got the impression that they are just disorganized. In any case, bad service means low or no tip and more beer so that's a win. Not going to go out of my way to visit here again. It just is not worth it.
