    They didn't take 1/2 off my apps (they said "ALL APPS")
    Carson Y.

    Before I visited today on 9/13/23, Wednesday at 6:30pm, I gave them a call about their happy hour. They said it's 1/2 off ALL APPS from 4-8pm, so I decided to try the deal. We ordered the wings and nachos on the starter section of the menu. When we got the check they server said the deal isn't for "ALL" the apps. I was like are you kidding it literally says it on the board. He apologized and I don't blame him, I blame the management! I paid the bill and tipped but left feeling ripped off. It's just bad business especially when there is so much competition on Bell Blvd. I will not be returning or recommending this place if you're looking for happy hour apps.

    The customer service was amazing. The hostess was friendly, continued to check up on us to make sure our drinks were filled and that we didn't need for anything. Even when the food order was wrong, she took the meal back and brought the correct meal without any complaints and still with a smile on her face.

    Workingman's brunch! We spied the 25c wings listed on the sidewalk sandwich board so we wandered in here, hungry on a hot afternoon. Nice big bar, chairs with backs, plus tables on one side with quite a bit of space between the two zones. The traditional Irish-American decor. Dark and cool. Plenty of screens - not giant but big enough to watch the game. Once a couple of ice cold Blue Moons arrived we perused the menu, realizing we weren't in the mood for wings anyway. Typical pub offerings: Shepherds Pie, fish & chips, burgers, steak (does anyone actually order a steak in a bar) but then we moved on to the brunch menu. Everything sounded really good and available till 4 PM, so Richard chose the brunch burger and I went for the BLT, both with home fries. Both meals were excellent and really hit the spot. Simple, solid, tasty and satisfying. Loved the fried egg on top. Potatoes had rosemary seasoning. Prices were very easy on the wallet. Check out the photo of our tab. I'm sure they can make a fine Bloody here too, so if you're in need of brunch and do not want to spend $85, I recommend you head on over to Brian's.

    Wings were horribly overcooked.  Dry as paper.

    Rip off. Saint Patrick's Day. $11 pints for Guinness. All other bars max $8. No wonder the place is empty.

    I want to start off and say that the food was delicious and packed with flavor, however due to the…read moreannoying incident we encountered with the server/bartender I couldn't give this place a 5 star. We ordered garlic honey & sweet soy wings, and chorizo sliders and asked for 2 waters for a to go order but ended up cancelling the waters since we brought our own water bottles. Friend and I ordered food with the bartender/server and then gave our credit card to the server/bartender to pay before receiving our receipt. When we received the bill for signature, the bill just showed the total without an itemized receipt which came out to be 20% higher than what we had expected so we pointed out to the server that the waters might've been accidentally included to which the bartender/server confirmed it wasn't included so that's when we were a little concerned since the total amount was a lot higher than we had expected so we asked for an itemized receipt to find out that a 20% gratuity was automatically included to our take out order. Once the server handed the itemized receipt to us, he did not mention his added on gratuity that he gave himself and the sense he gave us was as if he was entitled to the 20% gratuity. Understanding that the economy is not doing so great right now so friend and I did not ask for the gratuity to be removed but the experience itself left quite a distaste for both of us especially as first timers.

    So I want to start off with a small negative before I mention all the wonderful things about this…read morebar and grill (unfortuantly I could not give it 5 stars because of this, but we loved the place overall!). They would not give us tap water and said we could only buy bottled water which was a major bummer since we were going to order plenty of food--not the end of the world but definitely annoying. So we were looking for a place to watch the baseball game and enjoy some food after a day of Pickleball in Queens and we found this place doing a search online. They have multiple TV's and plenty of seating which was really nice. It is a bit dated inside but very comfortable and a more sophisticated bar menu. We had some AMAZING nachos for an appetizer which were loaded with chicken, beans and all the fixins and baked perfectly. Everyone enjoyed their main dishes immensely including the Greek Salad, chicken wings, hamburger sliders and the skirt steak. They also have an extensive beer menu which is awesome with both bottled and tap beers which we loved. I think the best part of our experience was the bartender/manager who waited on us (and everyone else as it was only him in the chef). He was super friendly, attentive and even changed the TV for us so we could watch the Mets game. He thanked us multiple times for coming in and we will absolutely be back. The great quality of the food, multiple TV's and it not being overly crowded will bring us back again for sure. The fantastic customer service from the bartender meant a lot to us--he often brought us sharing plates without us having to ask and made some good suggestions on what to order. We were also shocked to learn they are open until 11P five days/week. We cannot wait to return again to play some mini golf as well. This may be our new hidden gem....LOL

    Wow! Definitely happy I decided to check this place out. I had a great experience. I love that…read morethere is so much space throughout the restaurant. There are a lot of TVs, which is great to watch different sporting events at the same time. Definitely a great space to hold an informal networking event. The food was amazing. So much better than I expected! I got the shrooms and bulbs burger, which was delicious. It comes with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and raw red onion. Next time I may add fig jam to it to add a different level of flavor. I asked for medium but it came out more medium-well. I decided to try garlic butter potatoes and they were delicious as well. They were roasted but the garlic butter flavor was infused throughout the potatoes. Both the shrooms and bulbs and the garlic potato's came highly recommended by our server, Michaela. She was spot on with suggesting these! I also ordered a Wild Sour Series: Dragonfruit Mango Ale. It was perfect and just what I was looking for in a sour. A member of my party got a whiskey burger and French fries. The burger came with Jameson infused bacon, cheddar cheese, whiskey sauce, lettuce, tomato, and raw red onion. She absolutely loved her burger and she is usually very critical of food when we go out to eat. She also loved the French fries. They had a great crunch to them and they weren't too hard. Michaela was amazing! She was so pleasant and offered great suggestions to us. She really helped to make the dining experience a great one for us. Happy hour is 3-6 from Monday through Friday. There are also daily specials Monday through Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays there is live music and there are DJs. You can rent out the space for events. All in all, I highly recommend Tap Room and I look forward to returning soon!
