They had a great selection of beer and drinks. It's a small little place, but they had some outdoor seating and a window where you could come up and order. I'm not gonna say it's somewhere that I would go all the time, but I probably would pop back in there if I were downtown

They do not have any specialty drinks. I did appreciate that they do have an outside area which will be great as summer time rolls around.

The Tap is hands down one of the best spots in Winston-Salem to relax after work with friends. From…read morethe moment you walk in, you're greeted by some of the friendliest and most talented bartenders in town. They know their craft, they remember your drink, and they make everyone feel like a regular--even if it's your first time. Shout out to Brooks too! He's a great addition to the team. The atmosphere is unbeatable--warm, welcoming, and just the right mix of lively and laid-back. Whether you're inside enjoying the cozy vibe or out on the deck soaking up the fresh air, it always feels like the perfect place to be. The deck, by the way, is a total game-changer, offering a great spot to relax with friends and enjoy a drink under the stars. Every time I step into The Tap, I feel like I belong. It's more than just a bar--it's a community, a home away from home, and a place I'll keep coming back to time and time again. If you're looking for great drinks, even better people, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back, The Tap is where you want to be!

The bartender, Justin, is super friendly, always keeping up with the drinks, and the drinks themselves are half the price of the bar across the street. The outdoor patio seating is perfect on a nice evening. It has a mellow, relaxed vibe and everyone seems so calm. I love it. FYI: They don't serve food though, so 21+ only.

The plan was to hit this spot for some karaoke, but when we arrived at 7 we were told karaoke doesn't start on Saturdays until 10pm. So that was a bit disappointing The space felt a bit Smokey, I suppose from years pst, but they do allow vaping inside which I wasn't a big fan of. It definitely draws an eclectic crowd, big age range and a lot of diversity in the ethnicity of the crowd as well Drinks are a bit pricey and they do not offer any food, though you are welcome to bring your own or have it delivered.

The "dive-bar" doesn't take long to get jam-packed (if it isn't already upon arrival), so if its applause and/or interaction with others from various walks of life is what you seek then look no more because Gatsby's delivers and then some! From rowdy college students to the fully-grown and mature, this "hole-in-the-wall" attracts them ALL every single weekend (Fridays & Saturdays). From the well-seasoned singers & crooners to the silly, drunken socialites just up for laughs, the karaoke microphone within Gatsby's never disappoints amusement!! But don't take my word for it! Come on down to this downtown hot spot to enjoy cutting loose with an always embracing, diverse crowd without breaking your wallet. There's no admission, the drinks are always affordable, the staff remains cool and collected, and even the security remains social! Parking can be a bit of a chore, depending on when you arrive... but I promise you once you're inside Gatsby's it'll all be worth the visit.

Who makes someone scream from across the room? Even the people sitting at the bar were like, 'wow'. Clearly, he didn't want to wait on us. I just walked away.
