Friendly service, really yummy wings, and cold beer. What more do you need? We've driven by this place probably 100 times over the last 10 years, and we finally decided to stop--and we're so glad we did! Such cool decor and so much seating space, along with a huge outdoor seating area. We'll definitely be back! read more

Grungy, dirty tables that no one cleans between guests. Incredibly lackluster food, including the wings. The burgers are bland, and tiny, especially for the price. I am not exaggerating when I say the burgers look like something out of an elementary school cafeteria, they are that sad and pathetic. This places looks like it'd be a neat, off the beaten path place to visit...but trust me when I tell you it is *not* worth it. Not good at all. read more

A DoCo staple!! My pup enjoyed the patio area with lots of available dog water bowls on a hot summer day. The food was tasty, definitely recommend the wings! read more

We came to visit and try their famous wings and they did not disappoint in the slightest. My favorite wing flavor I tried was the garlic parm. I've been dreaming of them since I had them two weeks ago! The service was quick and friendly. They were accommodating to my friend's food allergy too. The bar itself is a classic dive with cheap drinks! read more

Fun atmosphere and space outside for kids! The ranch is out of this world, wings were excellent!!

I recommend this place to everyone who asks me what to do in Door County. It is a hidden gem! From the low ceilings with decor plastered everywhere, to the backyard with games in the summer time - it is the perfect place to grab a bite. Their chicken wings are to die for - but come early because they have been discovered and sometimes even run out. CASH ONLY! Bartenders do a great job with staying attentive as it is almost always busy there now - especially in season. read more

You come here for the food and not the service. Just know that coming in. The wings are awesome. My favs are the teriyaki (sauce is house made), the garlic parm and the bbq. My husband likes the classic medium buffalo. Waffle fries are always a must but it is a small portion so if you are sharing--think about more than one order. Don't sleep on the soups. They have killer house made soups. AC'sis cash only but do have an atm in case you forget. read more

Love this place! Went there first over 40 years ago on Christmas Day. These days it's big and has late night food.

no stars if I could. There was a bar owner who assaulted me while I had two puppies on a leash as soon as I got out of my vehicle because maybe he didn't like the color brown. the other owners never did anything else for my trauma. I'm an Army Veteran as well that gave him mercy. I'm capable of a lot but I let it go. He made my dog hit his head on the wood fence out back. 2 months later now my dog is paralyzed too. Who knows if he caused damage prior to his injury read more

Was looking for chicken. Website said they served chicken. When we got there we were told taken off the menu. So decided to stay and I had a Cesar wrap. Horrible. My husband had a Philly cheesesteak. Came on a hamburger bun with American cheese. Not a good experience. Won't go back read more

Simple cash only bar with a few TVs. Table seating is limited which should have been a sign that food is an afterthought. People swear by the wings but I wasn't impressed. The food cokes in plastic baskets lined with wax paper. No problem with that style until the waffle fries nachos have their cheese melted to and stuck to the paper. Nice staff and clean. If I was going there to drink rather than eat, I think I would have been more impressed. read more

Based on the reviews I saw looking for a place for dinner we had high hopes for this. We were wrong. The establishment was fine and what we were looking for. Your typical small Wisconsin hole in the wall. Service was decent. Food was the issue. We had a party of 4 in our group and only 1 was happy with the food. I ordered the chicken ranch wrap and it was 95% lettuce with very little chicken and I am pretty sure that it didn't include any ranch at all. Few of us got French fries and they were so overdone none of us ate them at all. I would return for a drink and to hang out but most certainly would never go back to eat. read more

Great food and a fun vibe! My family has been coming here for decades and it's still a fun place to stop for a beer while in Door County! read more

This is a great hole in the wall place- it delivers exactly what you would expect, drinks and fried food. I think my sister and I walked in the back entrance and we couldn't find the menu. You order at the bar and we ordered the munchies baskets, they're huge and honestly you only need one to share. Very lively atmosphere and it's a place full of locals on the off season read more

We got in to our campsite too late to cook and we needed to eat but everything in town was closed. After trying 2 other places, someone said this place was open. We were prepared for the worst after reading these reviews about the service. Well, Alex was our server and she was so kind and welcoming! We were so pleasantly surprised! The chicken wings really are as good as everyone says. They recommended the garlic parm ones and we wish we had gotten more. It looks like it must be busy during the day and they had bug spray and dog bowls on the patio. So accommodating! We were there at 11pm so it was pretty chill and we left happy. read more

Fun find!! Friendly hole in the wall place. We sat at the bar and bartender was attentive and helpful. Surprised when she brought my husband his beer she said "oh I see there is a chip in the glass" and instead of getting him a new glass she just turned the chip away from him! And Then proceeded to give him his second beer in the same chipped glass. Wings were phenomenal! read more

Pleasantly surprising little "dive bar" right on Hwy 57 between Baileys Harbor and Sister Bay. Very popular among locals but visitors are frequent guests here too. Friendly bartenders and great food. Good sized bar and places to sit outside in the nice weather. The place is old but charming. The wings are some of the best I've had anywhere...several flavors, all good. Soups come in a surprising home made variety, recently Korean Hot Pot and Scallop and Pea soup. Very good. Great cheeseburgers, pork chop sammich, Ruebens and Patty Melts, cheesecurds and PepperJack sticks. Hats off to the kitchen staff. Highly recommend this littlle dive bar. Cash only, no cards. read more

Stopped here on a random winter Saturday. It was not busy so our group bellied up to the bar. We weren't planning on ordering food but we did. I got the mushroom Swiss burger and fries and it was pretty good and reasonable prices. Nice towny bar in door county. read more

I came here with a few girlfriends and as soon as we arrived, it was very clear that we had crashed some sort of local establishment. We walked in and a woman literally said "how do people not understand when they just don't belong?" Regardless, we ordered drinks and made the most of it. After a few minutes, we were adding songs to the touch tunes machine, playing pool, and befriending the hesitant locals. It's a fun bar but don't be surprised if you get some weird looks if you don't frequently go. COVID Precautions: Literally nobody was wearing masks, not even the bartender and social distancing basically didn't exist. If you're super Covid cautious, do not go here. read more

Bring your cash! No credit cards and an ATM (fee charged). Memorable food - Whimpy Burgers and the Garlic Parm Chicken Wings are our repeat orders - 5 stars for those. Large outdoor seating area - self order at bar and they'll bring it out to you. Why missing two stars? Lack of credit card often curtails our spending. (Hate ATMs) Why not just charge a 3% credit card fee. So many services out there not make this a no-brainer. Also - Men's room stinks - every visit. I'd rather go outside and use the outhouse. Get some bleach and have at that sucker! read more

We drove past AC Tap on our way in and decided to give it a try the next day. When we walked in we were met with the entire bar staring at us for what seemed like was for the fact we were the only people in the entire establishment wearing masks (including employees). After one rude comment from a fellow customer about us "not knowing where we belong," we decided to make the most of the situation, since we had already gotten drinks. The rest of our experience was much better than our first few minutes. The rest of the people there were super friendly and we were able to somewhat distance ourselves in the corner at a table. We only ordered drinks, but people seemed to enjoy them. The bar is cash only, but there is an ATM available. The bar had games and the option to choose your own music. Overall it was fun and some of those in my party had a great time. I personally am a maybe on whether I would be back. read more

This happened last winter; Was told by friends this was a great place to get wings. Stopped there with my wife and mother in law as we were passing through. Walked in, games were on, definitely more of a local bar feel, and cash only. Ordered three cold beers and got them right away, and paid that bill right away. We ordered food, sat down and waited, and got our wings in about 20 minutes. They were good, not great, but everything was pretty much fine up to this point. Here's where things went south. I go back to the bar to pay for our food and settle up. I had paid for our beers in a separate check, so our food was all that was left to pay for. But on our check there was a 4w with an extra charge on there. I didn't know what that was, so I asked and after 10 minutes or so and the two bartenders talking back and forth while looking in my direction they come back and say it was for the 4 well mixed drinks I ordered. I explained that we didn't order those and only had 3 beers, which we had already paid for. They took another few minutes and begrudgingly came back with the corrected bill, which was about 27 bucks. I gave them 2 20s to pay. The guy returned and handed me back a 5, two 1s and 4 quarters; 5 bucks short. Now I had planned on tipping, but when I explained he had shorted me on change the bartender stormed to the register, pulls out 4 singles and 4 more quarters, and slams it down in front of me. Not a word from him. At this point they were lucky to get anything from me, so I left the quarters on the bar and turned to leave. As we were walking out, one of the drunk regulars yelled at us, "And don't come back!" Don't worry, I won't. And if you aren't from around there, stay away. They don't want you at AC Tap and apparently will go to shady lengths to communicate that. read more

Local small town bar with great food and a good, casual vibe! The Parmesan garlic wings are easily the best I've ever had, must try.

Not even kidding when I say that AC has some of the best wings I've ever had in my life. I'm from Milwaukee and was in Door County for a weekend getaway. Seriously, such a pleasant surprise to find these amazing wings. You can tell their kitchen actually cares and doesn't cut any corners when it comes to these. Crispy and yet falling off the bone. The medium and garlic parmesan were great, as well. read more

Very unfriendly service. But my Old Fashion was good. That is why I gave her an extra star.

Great bar and ambience!! Service and food were impeccable. The pickled turkey gizzards taste a little funky tho......

Pretty cool little bar in the middle of no where. We drove by and decided to stop. The place was pretty packed (which is a good sign). They had good music playing, a few bars on tap, a good selection in the fridge and the Cubs game was on so I was happy. We bought some beers and decided to get some curds. Then we proceeded to buy some pull tabs. I won $100 and that made my day!!! read more

New ownership - new bartenders food is OK wings are great very local but still a tourist stop.

So a Vikings fan walks into a Packers bar (an hour after the Packers lost) hoping to catch the Vikings game. It could be a little intimidating but it wasn't at all. The drinks were great, the patrons were fun & friendly, the wings were awesome and the bartenders were exceptional. ( thank you Jolene & Eric) And, In an area that can charge high prices, theirs are very reasonable. We will definitely stop back in the next time we are in Door County. read more

We were there with a group. Service was beyond rude. We were told we were a fire hazard (even though most of us went outside.) The bartender also told us she hoped one of the group would get drunk driving. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

LIVE REVIEW This place is awesome! Laura is the bartender is so, so cute and sweet. All the girls working are amazing. We ordered a basket of fries, chicken tenders, and fried cheese curds. The portions were very large and they didn't charge extra for condiments like marinara. The chicken tenders were extremely fresh and light breading, not greasy. It is not very busy (but there is a small crowd) and the other patrons are very nice. I definitely recommend this place for visitors looking for places to hang out without all the tourists. I hope I can return one day. :) read more

Okay so my night started at 10pm we went out to the local bar "Husbys" but we were told they stopped serving food which confused me because they close at 2:30am. Luckily we were directed to this bar that is only 7 mins away ! But I would've drove even farther. The company is amazing and the food is even better! The cheese curds are great and the chicken sandwich she recommended was so fresh and juicy. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Stopped for a couple beers one afternoon. Clean place, decent prices. However, it seems like a place where locals are welcome and out of towners not so welcome. Not very friendly. You get served but not with any smile. Next time we'll drive by to the next place. read more

What??? No reviews??? My pals and I were in Door for a 'guys weekend' at my buddy's place 'Up North' and we decided to go off the beaten path and find a true 'locals' place. Soon enough we found ourselves at the A C Tap. A quiet, but friendly and welcoming place with pool, darts, baggo, a long L-shaped bar and dirt-cheap drinks. We went through I don't know how many buckets of mini-Bud bottles that night and the barkeeps took great care of us. The highlight of the evening was when a school bus arrived with a load of bachelorettes. We got excited until we realized they were just there to pick up some food before they carried on. Oh well, probably saved us all some embarrassment anyway. read more

The chicken wings were not what I expected. I had heard so much about it. The bartender had some serious issues going non of which was good.

Some friends and I may or may not have stalked down another (non-present) friend's ex-boyfriend who high tailed it to Door County to start an antique store in Sister Bay. This alleged person may or may not have directed our attention to A C Tap. Ok, we did, and he did. And we are better for it. A C Tap was not crowded despite it being Labor Day weekend in Door County. The fish and chips were good, the fish cakes were great and the old fashioneds were delicious and $3.75. The only other thing you need to know is that they are cash only and have a patio. read more
