    Robin and the bartenders here rule, there's plenty of seating, pool, darts, and TV. The best outdoor seating in the city. The whole place reminds me of walking into a cool safari loving grandpa's study/library if that makes sense. On Thursdays it becomes inundated with "Chads" and their Vera Bradley toting lady counterparts but on other nights there are usually about 20-25 people of varying ages and usually chill. Drinks are strong.

    Were visiting from Detroit, Michigan for a wedding... Was highly recommended by a nearby local bar. We LOVE DIVE BARS & stopped in on a Sunday evening ... such a unique atmosphere! The back ally offered outdoor seating and corn hole! Definitely will be back when we visit again!

    Open at 3pm, hurrah. Tables are solid bar size, a bit worn but playable. Good parking in rear.

    3.5 stars. Good dive bar with strong, cheap drinks, pool & darts. Kind of out of the way in terms of location.

    This has to be one of my favorite bars in the area! Katie and Robin are there to help keep the atmosphere exciting and the drinks flowing!

    Two free pool tables and many dart boards add to the entertainment as well as a pinball machine.

From…read morethe moment you walk in, you're greeted by some of the friendliest and most talented bartenders in town. They know their craft, they remember your drink, and they make everyone feel like a regular--even if it's your first time. Shout out to Brooks too! He's a great addition to the team. The atmosphere is unbeatable--warm, welcoming, and just the right mix of lively and laid-back. Whether you're inside enjoying the cozy vibe or out on the deck soaking up the fresh air, it always feels like the perfect place to be. The deck, by the way, is a total game-changer, offering a great spot to relax with friends and enjoy a drink under the stars. Every time I step into The Tap, I feel like I belong. It's more than just a bar--it's a community, a home away from home, and a place I'll keep coming back to time and time again. If you're looking for great drinks, even better people, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back, The Tap is where you want to be!

The bartender, Justin, is super friendly, always keeping up with the drinks, and the drinks themselves are half the price of the bar across the street. The outdoor patio seating is perfect on a nice evening. It has a mellow, relaxed vibe and everyone seems so calm. I love it. FYI: They don't serve food though, so 21+ only.

    I wasn't really expecting a lot when I popped in here and didn't really know what to expect. I just…read morepopped in briefly because frankly they were taking forever with my pizza across the street and figured I might as well grab a beer. Personally I love a good dive that embraces what it is and doesn't have any pretension otherwise. Service here seemed straightforward and decent enough. They looked like they had a pretty decent and varied liquor selection. Beer selection wasn't super impressive but they had the important staples and one or two decent "fancier" craft beers. I only stopped in once but based on what I saw it seems like a decent place to check if you're tying one on downtown or just want somewhere chill to hang out during the day.

    Stopped into this spot to grab pre dinner drinks with friends. For a birthday celebration…read more Bartender was friendly, and greeted us in when we arrived. The plan was to hit this spot for some karaoke, but when we arrived at 7 we were told karaoke doesn't start on Saturdays until 10pm. So that was a bit disappointing The space felt a bit Smokey, I suppose from years pst, but they do allow vaping inside which I wasn't a big fan of. It definitely draws an eclectic crowd, big age range and a lot of diversity in the ethnicity of the crowd as well Drinks are a bit pricey and they do not offer any food, though you are welcome to bring your own or have it delivered.
