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!

I'm loving this place right now. I'm not really the type to party, but this is where I go with a…read morefriend on a weeknight to have a drink and an extended conversation. 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.

This place is the only Irish Pub in the area, though there is one in Mocksville, and the one in…read moreGreensboro just recently closed. This is very much a neighborhood pub, and if you are not a regular, nobody knows your name or probably cares to. This place opened in 2006 in a down town area that was more than a little rough, but it took off, building a faithful following. COVID hit the spot hard, and the original owner closed the place in 2021. It reopened in 3022 under new management and seemed headed in the right direction. But recently things have turned very messy, with unpaid wages and vendor invoices, The State has several investigations going on at present, and survival seems a long shot. I have eaten here a handful of times and found the food and service to be rather good. The Fish and Chips (comes in small or large), the Celtic Chili, the Corned Beef and Cabbage, the Reuben, and the Bangers and Mash were are worth a shot. I don't sense these spot will be open much longer. A shame really.

Back here after awhile bringing a friend who wanted to experience Irish food . Fish and chips and…read morebangers and mash specifically. Unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. Service was really slow, even though our server was really nice. No real atmosphere even though it got busier as the evening went by. Big blow when we were told they didn't have bangers to go with the mash. Disappointing. We went with the fish and chips and got a side of the garlic mashed potatoes. Also tried the scotch eggs. The eggs were actually really good and nice and hot. Served with a Dijon mustard they were probably the best part of the evening. Nice crunchy coating of breadcrumbs and sausage. Good app. The fish and chips were ok. Lots more batter than actual fish inside. Very greasy. Chips were not the steak fries thick cut like they use to do awhile back. We asked for curry sauce several times before we actually got it. As this is a must anytime you have fish and chips. They should just serve it with it. The mashed potatoes were awesome. Very rich and buttery. We ordered another side as it was the best thing on our table. We also had a round of vodka sodas. Standard good bar drink. I really hoped this would be the great pub experience for my friend but it wasn't what I expected. Hopefully next time round will be better. Hope the get some bangers in soon !!

My husband and I had our 9-month-old baby with us, and it felt very manageable even when he got a little vocal It took a little long to order our food, but it did look like the employees were covering tables, hostessing, and making drinks, so I give them credit for managing the busyness. I got the BBQ pork nachos, which were so yummy!! The portion was very giving, and my husband and I definitely could've shared, but I was happy to have it all to myself. My husband got the Panini Club. It was on the smaller side especially compared to mine, but it was still very tasty. We can't wait to come back here! A chill restaurant with great food.

So, it is with that in mind that I will say how much I love this place. A small unassuming place just over the border in Davidson county that is on of the first bars (if not THE first in Davidson county[not including Lexington and Thomasville]) to open in the county. !2 draft taps, 8-10 wines, and a full bar. Competent bar tenders with Alex and Cole know how to satisfy whatever thirst you may have. Ask Alex about Irish Whiskey...if you like Bourbon, get Cole to make you an Old Fashioned. They have pool leagues and tournaments, also darts. They have Karaoke and trivia..and now live music on Saturdays. Hungry? they have Boarshead sandwiches and chips or you are welcome to have your own food delivered there or bring some with you. Be prepared you do have to pay for a membership and sign in, but its a BIG $5 to join ! MY lady, who generally doesn't like bars, even enjoys it here, it's just a neighborhood feel. If you live in the area, or even if you don't, drop in and support them with a few drinks.

I went up to the bar to order for my friends and the bartender wouldn't even come up to us and take our order. He yelled at me from across the bar and said, "What do you want?" 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. Too bad, my friends and I all worked in the industry bartending. We are all great tippers.

It was standing room only this evening, and we had to park it near the door near the food truck. Being near the door in February, my daughter was getting cold. A woman came over, propped the door OPEN, and proceeded to video the band from half way out the door. She said something to my daughter about her being cold, which my daughter was honest about, but was ignored as she continued to video. As any father would do, I stepped in and asked to close the door as my family is cold, and went back to where I was standing. She proceeded to get in my face and say, "I'm the OWNER here and I'm getting a video" and went back to what she was doing. No I'm sorry, no recognition of her patron's needs. Just complete dismissal and rudeness. Needless to say, we didn't spend another nickel there, and never will. We left and will never be back as long as someone with that view of their patrons is still in charge. Zero stars for service and ownership regardless of how good their product may be. No thanks, Karen.

Worked for me though, I was all about the flavor and in need of an icy drink. Bartenders were on top of things and no wait for anything we needed!

We sampled a little bit of everything: the hot vanilla lattes, the Cubano, the cortado, and an almond croissant that tasted like it floated straight down from pastry heaven. Every single item was a flawless 10/10. The staff? Exceptionally warm and welcoming. We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner--genuine, kind, and clearly passionate about the craft. The barista was equally lovely, adding to the charm of the whole experience. And the ambiance... wow. Clean, sleek, filled with natural light, and boasting an immaculate interior that feels both modern and inviting. To top it all off, they also offer a wonderful selection of wine and beer, perfect for unwinding or elevating your evening. This place doesn't just serve coffee; it sets the standard. Truly, this is the best coffee Winston has to offer. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor--go. I cannot recommend it enough.

I asked for about half of the usual mocha they put in it, but I don't think that it was enough because I could barely taste the chocolate. When I go back, I will get the full serving of chocolate. Other than that, the coffee was delicious and satisfying. My friend got a cappuccino that he said was excellent as well. The place had the most beautiful aroma of freshly roasted coffee. Neither of us got anything to eat, but they did have a couple of options. I'm pretty sure one of them was a croissant of some sort and we will have to try that when we go back.

If I paid the full $5 for extra side, I wouldn't have been quite as pleased perhaps. Lace got the aforementioned burger, which I'm pleased to say is still delicious (I'll probably go back to it next time), and the fries are above average quality, too! Pours of draft beer seem to be in a smaller than average glass, but then they are keeping their beverage prices down this way.
