    Beer flight
    Janine A.

    Came here twice in the week we spent in Hyannis, it was a highlight both times. First, the service is outstanding. Sawyer, Henlen & Zo were the absolute best. Especially Zo, who also served as concierge, lol. They are responsible for many wonderful memories because we followed their advice. Game night was FABULOUS with Brianne & her adorable little assistant. Loved chatting with locals, it was such a fun night! I am considering only staying in Hyannis in the future so we can go to CCB!

    We sat outside at the picnic table which there was plenty of them. They had lots of umbrellas over the tables. Also, if you were getting too hot in the sun. They actually had music trivia night when I arrived, which was really fun. I did not have any food, but I had a couple drinks which were delicious. We had to go inside to order our beers, which was no problem. They had lots of choices and I enjoyed the selection. The servers inside were very helpful and answered all questions I had about any beers I was thinking about. I would go back again.

    Really relaxed vibe indoors & out with knowledgeable staff. I love customer service workers that know their stuff & appreciate their craft. Soyer, Henlynn & Zo got us right together with these flight selections! Zo gave 4-1-1 on all to do in the area. Gotta love it. Lessons on brews & where to slde through while on vacation! We took notes! My wife & I each did our own flight as Caoe Cod newbies. I truly enjoyed my time at CCB. The friendliness of the patrons & staff, the inclusiveness! Needless to say, but we'll be back for Yappy hour & music bingo or trivia. Big ups to The Big Dipah & the tropical trippy Sour Ale, it was hittin'! I also enjoyed the bold brew blend!

    Cape cod beer was on our to do list so we made it here. It's a cool place that has indoor and outdoor seating. They've got board games as well. I got a sea salt lemonade cider. It sounds amazing but it wasn't what I thought it was. It was still refreshing. A little tart. My dad enjoyed his beer. We sat inside as it was chilly out. They seem to have trivia nights or some live music depending on the days. This is a place I would hang out if I lived here.

    Great place to hang out with family or friends and have a few libations. We went here after lunch on our way back to B&B. We have a few dietary restrictions among our group and everyone found something to their liking. Lots of in the sun and out of the sun seating. They had a BBQ food truck for those looking to eat. Also a few games for those looking to challenge others at. Extensive beer selection, some non-alcoholic beer as well as wine and hard ciders. Their wine selection is limited and tends to be on the sweet side. They have a stage, and when we were there, a Country singer was the entertainment. All and all a great place to hang out at.

    What a great brewey to spend an afternoon! We've had Cape Cod Beer many times while we've been on the Cape, but this was our first time visiting the brewey. Before our trip, I knew I wanted to visit and try their beers on tap. When we arrived on a Saturday afternoon, there was an event going on with live music. We had to pay a fee to get in, but it was an awesome vibe with tables set up outside and live music playing! We ordered a couple different beers and some fried pickles. I don't know if they make the food in-house or if there was a food truck. It was hard to tell because of the event. Either way, it was so good! My favorite beer was their Blonde Ale, classic brew and PERFECT on a hot summer day. Cape Cod Beer is also dog friendly (inside & out) which was such a joy as I read some breweries on the Cape aren't.

    Cape Cod Beer is a craft brewery that opened in Hyannis, Massachusetts in April 2004. It was founded by husband and wife Todd and Beth Marcus. Since 1998, Todd had worked as the head brewer at the old Hyport Brewing Company on Main Street in Hyannis. This brewery had been known by a variety of names, including Cape Cod Brewhouse and Hyannisport Brewing Company. In 2003, Todd was laid off from the struggling brewery. He asked the owner if he could brew beer on equipment not being used, and Cape Cod Beer was born. Todd's 'gypsy brewery' operation soon earned him a handful of accounts in the mid cape area. By 2005, Hyport Brewing suddenly went out of business overnight. Todd and Beth quickly purchased Hyport's brewing equipment. They opened Cape Cod Beer at its current location the following year, and soon began hiring their first employees. Today, Cape Cod Beer is the oldest still-operating brewery in Cape Cod. My wife and I have been visiting Cape Cod Beer since we first discovered them on a trip in 2013. During our first visit, their beer repertoire consisted of only five or six beers. Today they have approximately 100 different beers that rotate throughout the year. They have a really nice facility complete with a large tasting room and tons of merchandise. The brewery also offers tours on a regular basis. One of our favorite offerings of theirs is the 'Beach Blonde Ale'. The beer is a very drinkable golden ale that goes down real easy. It's the perfect beer to bring to the beach, and we have done just that several times. As Cape Cod Beer's slogan goes, there's "a vacation in every pint." We agree and we make sure to grab some whenever we're vacationing on the cape.

    Pretzel - $6. REALLY??!?!??!?

    5 star beer. 1 star food. So averaging out to ~3 stars. I've been coming here once a year for the last 5-6 years - I've always loved what Cape Cod Beer represented and loved the fact that they offered some of the best priced tastings anywhere (currently not offered due to COVID). The beer is consistently great. Saison is one of my favorites anywhere and their new beers are super delicious - the fur missile and NE ipa in particular. Unfortunately, due to COVID, tables are REQUIRED to order food. Which is fine, I get it, it's the law. However, the food is a COMPLETE ripoff. Take a look at the pictures. One tiny pretzel stick for $6??? One small skewer of chicken for $8??? In what world is that remotely justified? Those two food items would be considered reasonably priced at maybe 1/2 of what they are currently priced at. It's such a pity because the beers are still pretty good. Get whatever the cheapest thing on the menu is to satisfy the requirement to order food and enjoy the great beers. Or find another place to enjoy great beers where they'll serve you food that isn't ridiculously priced.

My devoted "mug club" friends that used to meet weekly at Cape Cod Beer introduced me to this fantastic new spot in their rotation. Wow, am I impressed! I met the brewmaster / owner, Brian, friendly and he sure knows his stuff. The quality he is producing in this tiny location is exceptional. I started with the Norm Ale, like normal ...get it? I love the play on names they come up with like Buttah Beer. The Norm Ale is pale but not lacking color, it's so caramel creamy, biscuit smooth. Just delicious, no bitter bite to this beauty. And I really appreciate the lack of fizziness too, that's so unlike American beer. I followed that with the Riley Red. Think Killarney Irish red ale and that's what this delivers. An excellent example of a red with colored hues, it's tasting brighter, light malty, and rich. And because it's October I rounded off by tasting the Oaktober Fest. (Oak Bay October fest) my buddy Wayne loves this one, especially in his fancy German stein they so nicely agreed to fill for him. This seasonal ale is tasty modestly spiced medium malt season, not too hoppy, it's beautiful. The Brit/ Irish style that Brian is producing, less carbonated & fizzy, which I really liked about the ales. You don't go home with a bloated stomach. Lucky for us it is Oktoberfest and they were cooking up beer-soaked bratwurst with sauerkraut and German pretzel hot baked out of the toaster oven $11. A perfect accompaniment to the ales. I genuinely feel these are the best beers being made on Cape Cod, and beyond. Get over to Oak Bay Brewery and try for yourself what I'm convinced of! Cheers Note: Parking is best in the back of the building and come on to main street from alley beside Tumi restaurant.

It was a good place to go out with friends and have some wings, but I wasn't impressed whatsoever. My family and I were on vacation looking for a place to go that's different from Seafood, so we went back to Tap City to give it another shot. It was incredible. It was possibly one of my favorite restaurants I've tried during my vacation. We got a lot of different dishes, so I was able to try a bunch of them. I myself ordered a "build your own" Pizza. I got Hot Italian Sausage and Pepperoni. It was a very good size for the amount of money you spend. It was delicious. The sauce was amazing, the cheese blend was good and the toppings were both fresh! The crust was a bit soggy however. It was fine, it just was a bit floppy. I tried the Brussel Sprout appetizer and it may have been the best thing on the menu. They were addictive. I could've just ordered those and have been satisfied. I tried the Chicken Tenders and they were alright, but you could tell they are frozen and not homemade. The Fries were good, but just normal fries you'd expect at a bar and grille. Although I personally didn't try it, one of the guests I was with was in love with the Hamburger. This place is a must stop on your vacation if you're looking for a break from Seafood. It has a nice atmosphere and has been packed every time I've walked by. So why am I only giving this a four? Our waitress was not good. She had zero emotion and looked like she wanted to be anywhere other than at her job. I waited 20 minutes to get a refill on my drink because she never checked on us until we finished our food. The service at Tap City Grille should be improved.

My boyfriend and I had such a great experience here our first night of vacation that we decided to come back our second night. So we went to the hostess and said table for 2 and took the buzzer and were told 45 minute wait. It was an hour wait but I loved the experience and was ok with waiting. So when our buzzer buzzed. I headed to the hostess stand and there was a long line. I didn't want to be rude so I said the lead hostess "hey I just got a buzz" she said "ok maam I will be right with you." She continued to take down the names of the multiple groups of people in line. I decided that I would go to the back of the line to be respectful. As we were just about to near the front I hear her say "table ___ is a no show we are giving away to table ___" the people she gave the table to were people who were bothering her about the long wait time while my boyfriend and I patiently waited. She went to then give me ANOTHER buzzer as she gave our table away although we were there on time and then ignored. I gave the new buzzer back to her and told her that we previously were there with our buzzer and told her and she told us to wait a minute but ignored us. My boyfriend chimed in to say that he saw her give the table away to the next people on the list that were bothering her while we patiently waited. The hostess didn't say sorry and let us leave after we were very respectful. As someone in the industry it breaks my heart. I have been in her position and have done everything I could to make it right and to allow my guests to have the best experience possible. All she did was stare at us as we expressed concern. I was deeply hurt after this interaction and left wondering what I did wrong. All I tried to do was be a loyal customer and be respectful and I was patient and was punished for being patient and respectful. All I want is some recognition and apology.

The panko crust was crispy, the fish was fresh, and it came with well seasoned mashed potatoes and vegetables. The Fisherman's Platter was also fantastic. It came with fried cod, shrimp, scallops, clam strips, and two sides. I picked buttered rice and mashed potatoes, both of which were really good.
