I wasn't really expecting a lot when I popped in here and didn't really know what to expect. I just…read morepopped in briefly because frankly they were taking forever with my pizza across the street and figured I might as well grab a beer. Personally I love a good dive that embraces what it is and doesn't have any pretension otherwise. Service here seemed straightforward and decent enough. They looked like they had a pretty decent and varied liquor selection. Beer selection wasn't super impressive but they had the important staples and one or two decent "fancier" craft beers. I only stopped in once but based on what I saw it seems like a decent place to check if you're tying one on downtown or just want somewhere chill to hang out during the day.

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.

We ordered the Korean pork Mac and cheese, shrimp tacos, peach lavender cocktail, and dragonfruit…read morecocktail. The dragonfruit cocktail tasted like a melted popsicle. Wasn't the best and wouldn't get again. The peach lavender cocktail with champagne was too sweet so also wouldn't get again. It also didn't have enough of the bubbly-ness of champagne. The shrimp tacos without aioli were really good. Shrimp cooked perfectly. The lettuce and mango pico were fresh. Would get again. My fiancé had the pork mac and cheese. The portion was filling. The meat was flavorful, and the mac and cheese was pretty good. It was missing one ingredient that we couldn't place, but overall pretty good. We want to come back and try more entrees. Not so sure about the cocktails. Service was good. The waiter let my fiancé sample a cider he was interested in (it was okay, but we didn't order a full glass). He was on top of the order and checking in to make sure we were happy. The playlist was kind of all over the place but played songs we recognized and even liked. It's small inside with lots of outdoor seating, and the chairs inside aren't the most comfortable. But overall on a slow day like we experienced, we had a good enough time.

This visit was a mix of disappointment and appreciation…read more My son is back home for the summer and he chose The Quiet Pint for dinner. Everything was great except for my dish. I ordered the Cajun Cod Wrap from their weekly specials menu after seeing the photo they posted on Facebook. It looked good but what I received was a total disappointment. It looked nothing like the picture. First of all, it was tiny. I honestly thought I'd been given a kid's meal. It was that small. And for $15? It definitely wasn't worth the price. Second, the wrap was only filled halfway, with the rest of it being mostly tortilla. Finally, I took a bite and couldn't taste any Cajun seasoning at all. I let my husband and son each try a bite as well and neither of them could taste any Cajun either. We rarely complain about our food but this time we had to. Our server was incredibly kind and immediately agreed that it looked nothing like it should. She went to get the manager but another staff member came over because the manager was busy. He was also very friendly, understanding and agreed that what I received wasn't right. He offered to either remove it from our bill or let me order something else. I chose the street tacos because I know those are always good. I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally they handled the situation. That said, something similar happened before when I ordered from their weekly specials menu so I've decided I won't be ordering from it again. I'll be sticking to their regular menu from now on.

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.

They've opened/reopened with an even lower sanitation rating than they had back in March under the previous owners. The band that was playing tonight was so loud that the bartender had to come from behind the bar to take my food order (that never came). I really wanted this place to do well considering they're the only "Irish" pub left in the Triad but, sadly, the outlook is grim which is very unfortunate.

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.

Parking is a little tight up front, but if you come around the backside, there's a good sized parking lot back there with a rear door. You'll walk through the covered (and heated) outdoor smoking porch to get in, so if smoke bothers you, coming in the front door may be a better experience for you. Inside, there's two (free!) pool tables, and five (free!) dart boards. There's a TouchTunes jukebox (fun to Rick Roll/Nickelback the whole bar). The drinks are inexpensive, with good pours, and there's specials every night of the week. I don't usually put this in reviews, but since it's very unlike most bars, the restrooms are fantasic - big and clean. The bartenders Katie, Ashley, and Patricia are fantastic - it does get busy in there, especially over the weekend, but they do a good job of keeping drinks flowing. You can run a tab - they'll take your card and give it back when you close out. For what it is, it does it very well, so I'm giving it 5 stars. Come shoot some darts with us and share a beer!
