Good service, good beer and liquor choices and good fried bar food. Visiting from WA and excited to try toasted ravioli and spicy green beans after so many years. Downside: they allow children. No one wants to hear a crying child or "sit in your chair!!" When they are enjoying a beer and bar food at a patio. Just sayin - fuck off parents ‍ read more

417 Taphouse - Spicy green beans and toasted ravioli - Bars Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

New menu items at the Taphouse. I just had Cajun chicken Alfredo pasta. Delicious!! I can't recommend this place enough whether lunch, dinner or drinks. read more

This is a great place to have some drinks and to play some games! We actually came here to play ski-ball, but the machine was broken so we played some shuffle board. They have an awesome menu, but we were only stopping by for drinks, so I will have to checkout the food next time. read more

Very limited pub menu. Surprisingly limited beer menu for a pub. These points notwithstanding, our dinner was okay.

Divey but we loved it. Great selection of drinks, games and a cool bar vibe. We were just passing through and looking for dinner and this place checked all our boxes. read more

Service was good, food was awful. Typical tap house ambiance with arcade games, and dim lighting. Ordered a burger and fries the burger was mushy, and had a terrible after taste, made my stomach due somersaults. Fries were super salty with a house seasoning and super greasy. They are curly cut, but not good at all. Service was fast and friendly, but place was slow as it was a Monday night. Overall would not recommend. read more

Good Beer Selection, Good Bar Food, Great Bartenders! Good place tucked away downtown Springfield. Short walk from the Tru Hotel. read more

First off this place is not family friendly, I would avoid bringing kids here even if they advertise that's it's ok before 9 pm. Food is decent but don't go here for a burger, the price is outrageous! Just go to Black sheep. Bourbon bacon maple syrup was pretty good but still not good enough to make the trip worth it. Don't go and expect to get full off one meal and don't expect happy front staff. Go here after you're already drunk. read more

Food was okay!! Drink selection was really good!! Kinda empty! But if you never been should try at least once. read more

417 Taphouse - Hamburger & fries! - Bars Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Food is good, beers are great! We will be back soon. Patio is dog friendly! Accepts all kinds of plastic.

Ok tbh I have only ordered take out, but have to give it up to this new place (for us anyways) so can not speak for place itself or ambiance, staff etc. But what I can talk about is the food which was fabulous. The 22 my new weekend go-to, chicken that is breaded perfectly with nice texture with two of the best waffles ever ever. Tasted like funnel cake, and the maple bacon bourbon syrup kicked it up next level, as a NOLA fan, this was my jam. The Taphouse burger was a good size, standard, and came with the normal topping though would have liked more onion and tomato, but filling and the fries were super good. Southwest chicken eggrolls were FIRE, and brought the heat. My partner did not like but I loved, heat and all. The Dilla a hard pass, not much going on, a plain tortilla w a bit cheese, even a kid would not like imo. Lastly the crab rangoons, odd for the menu, but once again here for it!! With the bourbon syrup pairing they were the bomb, will definitely order again-and am sure we will be getting take out once a week. Everything packaged so well, all accoutrements were bagged, and I was impressed. So even though one item was a no go-still going to give a 5 star as one of the best meals of my month, way to go Taphouse! read more

This was a great spot to find on a COVID weekend in Springfield. I came by myself after 10pm on a Saturday and it was exactly what I was looking for. It's a bit confusing about ordering/sitting, but maybe that was just because I was a first timer there. Go to the left side of the bar (assuming you enter from the parking lot, not the street) and place your order before finding a seat. Besides beer, I had the pickle fries and toasted ravioli. In Missouri, you have to get toasted ravioli, right? They were better than most that I've had, good and chewy! The pickle fries were too much breading, not enough pickle. I still finished them, of course! There are quite a few beers on tap and more in cans. I also like seeing the beer menu displayed on the screen above the bar. It would have been cool to see that on more screens, just so that I could start planning out beer #2 while seated at a table. Regardless, the service was friendly and efficient. Price wise, it's a steal. I had 2 beers and 2 appetizers all for $25. That's pretty good for a downtown bar on the weekend! read more

This is going to be short and simple- Great food, great menu, great customer service, great beers. I've only been here one time and it only took one time for me to know I'll be going back for more. Had their hamburger and fries and I was pleased/ surprised to see curly fries on my plate which are one of my favorites! Also they had a long of different beers to try which is also another one of my favorite things to do!! I'll be back for more for sure read more

Rather enjoyed it here. Came here on a Thursday night and there were too many people around. Ordered the fresh French fires, which were good. Ordered the fresh made mozzarella sticks which were ok, not good. Needed a touch more salt for me, kinda bland. (But I like that better than overly seasoned Sysco shit). The fresh made waffles were wonderful!!! We decided to try the Welsh rarebit fries and they were AMAZING! The cheese sauce was delightfully tasteful!!! Next time, I get a large order of that. Bartender was awesome! Made a great old fashioned and was very friendly and talkative. read more

Had a weird smell that hits you when you walk in. The bartender with the bleached hair was rude and unfriendly. We left and went to Black Sheep burger around the corner and had a way better experience. read more

I'm not a beer drinker, so I honestly wasn't expecting much when I was invited to join some friends at 417 Taphouse, but this place really charmed me with its geek-bait decor and simple-but-delicious food. The bacon burger I ordered (1/3 pound patty, which they elongate and serve on a hoagie bun) was nothing short of exquisite despite being in no way dressed up, and it came with a giant helping of equally fantastic fries. The veggies and condiments were all top-notch, making for a very good, very basic burger that beat some of the more classed-up ones I've tried at other downtown locations. That I could enjoy all of this surrounded by the youthful nostalgia of Nintendo 64s, skeeball machines and other geeky delights only added to my enjoyment of this delightful beer dive. read more

Like rude and inattentive bartenders? This place is perfect for you. So many other options in and around downtown. Skip this place.

We really enjoy this place. Really like the taps on the wall that are self serve! Food was good!

Came here on a trip from St. Louis. Awesome place. I saw some reviews about the pour your own beer was a tad confusing. It's actually quite simple. You give the bartender your credit card. In return you get a card that allows you to walk up to one of the taps and pour as much beer as you want. I love the fact that it shows you how much the drink is costing you while you pour the tap. The setup allowed me to taste a lot of beers that I normally wouldn't even bother trying. The atmosphere of the place is excellent Lots of nerdy stuff like board games, video games, pinball, and skee ball. The fact that my buddy and I could sit on the couch there and play Mario Kart 64 while enjoying our beers was a great touch. Outside they had bags setup which was nice also. No complaints, other than I wished it was closer to St. Louis! read more

Food was ok! Service was horrible! The bartender acted like she was put out we were there!

Bartenders are so nice! ESP the one with the bleached hair, great food and drink prices. They have a lot of beer that rotates constantly which is nice because there are 2 screens above the bar that tell you exactly what is on tap and isn't! Amazing stuff :D read more

Two words: Pickle. Fries. Not to mention the amazing selection of beers to choose from! They also have tons of games. Including skee ball and darts! It's a good place to socialize. The wait staff is super cool. read more

Love this place! I've been here many times since they opened and we always have a great time. Yesterday my fiancé and I split a twenty two (2 waffles, 2 chicken tenders & fries) for $6! And it was delicious. Their twisted tater menu is awesome too. They have great drinks, great beer selection, and you can even buy beer to go! (This was the only place we've seen Bourbon Barrel Quad recently!) Also, whoever said you can pour as many beers as you want, that's not true. They make you check in at the bar after every 32 oz of beer you pour. Then they reactivate your card as long as your not completely wasted/falling over. Definitely check this place out! read more

Super cute bar! We sat on the patio for happy hour. Super affordable - walked away paying $12 for two beers and an appetizer. You have to order drinks and food at the bar and they will bring food out to you. Great experience and we will be coming back! read more

I love that you have the option to pour your own draft beer and just pay for what you pour. The games options are awesome. They have retro Nintendo games, board games, ski ball, pinball, and other arcade games. The patio seating is a nice option and the decor inside makes the vibe of the bar. The staff is friendly, and the food is amazing. They also have great happy hour deals. I highly recommend this place. read more

We have been here three times now, and most recently we stopped in to take advantage of their happy hour specials. Their happy hour is 3:00-6:00 pm and it is two dollars off their draft beers. I had the Spooklight from Leaky Roof Meadery and The Myrcenary IPA from Odell's. They have a wonderful selection of beers on tap, in cans, and bottles. We also bought the mozzarella cheese sticks and the pickle fries for snacks while we enjoyed our beers. I did not love the cheese sticks as much as I would have liked. To me they needed to go in the fryer a little longer and be a bit crisper but the pickle fries were awesome! I don't really like fried pickles but these are cut like fries (hint in the name) and they were crispy and tangy. I would definitely order those again. We didn't do entrees on this trip but I love the twisted taters and their burger offerings. read more

This is a really unique place with just as unique a philosophy towards how the customers are served. They have self serve tap's for customers to serve themselves and they are charged by the ounce consumed. A pass key is provided by the bar staff to access the taps, pretty neat. Decor, what can you say it's a Geeks dream, Star Wars and just about any other retro sci-fi/marvel accoutrements adorn the walls and shelves. There is a giant Boba Fett picture made out of bottle caps, a life sized jenga set, video games, it goes on and on. Honestly the place is never ending with cool things and I swear it changes week to week, always something new showing up on the walls. So hows the food, pretty darn good, the fresh curly fries are a big standout here. You have to have a special machine just to make these and they are fresh cut. The burgers are served long ways on more of a hoagie style bun with all the normal toppings. One of my favorites is the corned beef, very lean and fat free, it's served on a variety of dish's. If you are in the mood for pasta give the mostaccioli a try, the meat sauce is hearty and plentiful. Almost forgot one of the signature dish's chicken and waffles with honey bourbon sauce, great value for the money. Overall its clean and inviting, depending on your geek meter the decor can be super cool to look through. Prices, extremely reasonable, with good sized portions. Give it a try if your down that way and play a game of Star Wars pinball or Galaga while you wait. read more

Never been here before but was invited for a birthday and a retirement drink, and can say I will not be back at all. 1. Walked in sat down and wasn't greeted by anyone. 2. Bar was not busy at all maybe less than 20 people and waited 10 minutes to be helped. 3. waited over 1.5 hours to get my food 4. Got curly fries and they were so burnt that when you dropped them on the table they turned to dust. 5. Waitress rarely came by to check on us or to grab more drink orders 6. Went outside and waiter or waitress never checked in on us to see if we needed any drinks that is not from the taps. 7. Went back again and was disappointed again. 417 Taphouse please fix the front end and backend and hire the necessary people to get your food out in a timely manner and maybe hire someone to cook read more

A fun place and experience. Delicious food! Kind smiles and service! Highly recommend!

My friends and I love coming here on the weekends for a low-key night. We love the wide selection of drinks and beers on tap offered at taphouse! Our go to order is a table size order of fries to share. This time we ordered the loaded twists, which are curly fries topped with cheese bacon sour cream and chives. The taphouse can get pretty busy on some weekends, and other times it will be much slower. I love playing cornhole outside in the summer or giant Jenga! read more

417 Taphouse - Bars Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Absolutely love this place. The loaded fries are to die for. There's a lot of options from philly cheese steak to a nacho-esque choice. Beer is great and they celebrate the local breweries, which is amazing! It's a fun and relaxed setting with free board/card games to play with friends. Spending hours here is easy to do! read more

Yeah I like this place. A cool idea, sample as much or as little of any beer you like. They usually have a good selection too, pretty eclectic I dig that. The atmosphere is a bit like a dorm room; with video games and geek memorabilia - I dig it. A little loud sometimes if you want a quite place to chill and have conversations this might not be your place on a Friday night. All in all a great addition to DWTN Springfield. Im a fan. read more

417 Taphouse - Cool decor! - Bars Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

First time here and the server was good and really hustled! We had a group of 7 and ordered some apps and then entrees, but the kitchen made them one at a time. Ordered three different apps and they came out one at a time a few minutes apart. Then when the entrees started showing up it was the same routine. The pickle fries were over fried and the oil needs changed as they had that heavy dirty oil taste. The stuffed burger was good but not a $16 burger. Loved the pour your own beer from the taps so you can try just a small sample of a beer on tap and not have to pay for a full beer you don't like. read more

Absolutely horrendous customer service, overpriced beer from an unsanitary dispenser, and weak mixed drinks. Save yourself the trouble and go to ANY other bar downtown for your libations. read more

friend and I went there today to enjoy some Drinks, food and conversation only to be verbally accosted when we barely entered the establishment. We saw the "fun" pedal bar and wanted a picture of it so I sat down on a seat for like 2 minutes while my friend took the picture. I assume it was one of the barkeeps who came out and rudely said "Hey you gotten get off there you can't be on there!!" Yelled it from the other room then turned around and walked away. We turned on dime to leave, therefore. It's extremely poor business to talk to customers this way, especially when there is no sign posted to not sit in the SEATS(no less- as that is their intend use) of the pedal bar!! We were not loud or rambunctious or anything. We are two business ladies in our late 50s looking to catch up! We were both appalled on how we were treated!! Oh and it was maybe 1pm and they had no customers. So maybe in reality the bartender just didn't want to have to work! read more

I'd put 417 Taphouse in the top two best bar food places in town. Lunch review - Springfield MO boast some really good places to get a burger, I mean REALLY good and Taphouse is one of the best. Taphouse offers the thicker patty style which has always come cooked to perfection with a side of what are undeniably the best curly fries I have ever had the honor to consume. I haven't had anything I didn't like, the chicken and waffles are excellent, the wings are top notch and the prices are fair. The service is always excellent, friendly and fast. The bartender/waitress we've sometimes had is always upbeat and positive, if you're having a bad day you'll feel cheered up just by being in her presence. All the servers are quick to bring your food when you hear the bell and seem genuinely concerned about you being happy with your meal. The place is always clean and there are video games, pinball and some other bar games you can play while you wait for you food. You won't be sorry you tried this place. read more

We had a work group of 15 come in tonight, however, out of our entire group of professionals..only one gentlemen who was in his 30's was asked to show his ID just to come in. His ID happened to have expired 2 days ago. He was immediately asked to leave the premise and couldn't even just sit with our group. Our entire group had to leave to find somewhere else to go. Wouldn't recommend for customer service for this reason. read more

Can't wait to bring my sister and brother in law here. Love this place. Always a ton of fun playing Jenga and bean bag toss. Dillan(sp?)is an awesome bartender. Always take care of the customers with drinks and water! read more

I'm not sure if I like the concept of this bar or not. Thank goodness I showed up late and had friends who had already gotten themselves set up...because the setup process is not clear or familiar in any way. It works like this: go up to the bar, give then your id and credit card, and they will give you one of their cards and keep your credit card and license. You use their card to scan in front of any of the self pour taps, and it gives you 15 seconds to pour your beer. The glasses are in a cooler at the end of the bar. Your total goes off ounces poured, so that's how your bill is figured. If you want to order food, you have to do that at the bar. They will give you a metal stand with a playing card to take back to your table. When you're all done, go back to the bar, pay your tab, and get your stuff back. They have a nice beer selection, including nitro pours, local beers, and specialty brews. There are video games, a game room, and pictures of archer characters on the bathroom doors...I like the decorations and the layout...but there are also things that I don't like. One, the amount of time it takes to get the scan card at the bar register. That needs to be streamlined somehow...second, the lack of interaction from the staff. Maybe the time setting up the card wouldn't have seemed so long if the girl had made small talk, our eye contact...something. She didn't say a single word, and that made it ridiculous. No greeting, no conversation...me just standing there in silence while she worked on the register. So awkward. The second thing I didn't like is going to make me sound like a stick in the mud...but this place is not the safest...leaving people to their own vices...and I am speaking from experience. You can pour as many 8% beers as you want, all day long. No limits, no one keeping track of how many drinks you've had. I love it and hate it at the same time. They do serve good food...good fries with lots of topping options, chicken and waffles, and burgers (which are elongated and served on a hoagie roll. Just a heads up). The fried pickles are great too, but come out at 400 degrees and never cool down. Definitely worth trying, especially if you can practice some self restraint. :-) read more
