As I approached the door--something many others had done before me--I was abruptly stopped by a man who turned out to be the owner. He rudely told me "NO," and then followed up with "Would you walk into a refrigerator in a restaurant?" Honestly, if the refrigerator was in the middle of where the party was being held, then yes, I probably would--especially if there was no signage saying it was off-limits. Only after this encounter did he put up an "Employees Only" sign, which tells me it wasn't clearly marked before. This could have been handled in a much more respectful and professional manner. The owner's attitude was unnecessarily rude and confrontational. If he expects people not to go in, proper signage should be in place before the event begins, not after making guests feel unwelcome.

Never had this kind of experience. Our friends told us about this place so decided to go together…read more It's a nice small closed off place which outdoor and indoor seating. They brew their stuff there and they encase the drinks there with a little machine. We ordered 2 sets of flights so the four of us can try all the flavors. Some weren't to out taste and a couple were so it's nice we can have this experience. We ended up taking a bug can home to enjoy later.

The standout for me was definitely the coal oven wings. They had the perfect char, super tender and juicy, and came with a great variety of sauces on the side. Easily one of the best things on the table. The St. Patrick's Day Guinness-battered fish and chips were also really good crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and not greasy at all. The brisket sandwich was solid and came with a generous side of fries. We also ordered the fried calamari, which was delicious light, crispy, and not greasy. Everyone at the table enjoyed it. Overall, a great spot for a family meal with good food and a lively atmosphere.

The food, drinks, and ambiance are consistently excellent, but this review is about something even more meaningful. Earlier this week, I accidentally left my wallet at the restaurant and didn't realize it until the next day. When I returned and inquired, the new manager, Ricky, was incredibly professional and helpful. He verified my identity using a secondary ID (since my driver's license was in the wallet) and promptly returned it. Not only was everything intact--including a significant amount of cash--but he also refused to accept a tip, saying it was simply part of his responsibility to take care of customers. This note of thanks goes not only to Ricky but also to the entire staff for their honesty and integrity. Experiences like this are rare, and it only deepens our appreciation for a place we already loved.

You should order your food before your drinks because the food takes awhile but it is so worth it. The food comes out hot. The wings were so crispy and we had so many options for dry and wet sauces. I got the Nashville hot dry rub. They get a really good coat of seasoning in the wings but I did wish it was SPICIER given it was three flames (the highest). Looking forward to going back and trying a new sauce.

Tap and Growler is located in the middle of a residential area. You would probably miss it if you…read moredidn't particularly went looking for the place. The place doesn't have a parking lot so it's all street parking. The restaurant itself is more of a bar than a sit down eatery as there are only a few tables. There is only 1 table that maybe fit about 6 people. We stopped by during Tuesday Burger Day. The burger itself was really well cooked and tasty. Can't beat 8.99 burger and fries. If you're in the area and you want to have a drink or 2, give this place a try. But don't expect to walk into a fancy bar/eatery.

The salsa/ sauce on the side was not that flavorful and it seemed like the cheese blend used in the quesadilla was different (leaned more Italian cheeses vs what you would expect for a quesadilla) but still decent. Also got the Buffalo cauliflower bites and wings. They were able to let us select two sauces which was nice. Would recommend staying away from the lemon pepper dry rub- was way too acidic and salty for my liking. Nice vibe and they have two single stall bathrooms that are pretty spacious. Overall solid spot for some apps and HH drinks- just beware of limited parking.

A promising start with this beer and worthy of exploring more of their other beer in the future for sure!
