I've honestly never had wait staff be so rude to me. We visited this place soon after the quarantine was lifted. I asked if I should wear a mask, we were trying to be responsible and respectful. The waiter showed us a long table and said you can sit on this side- motioning to one side. I went to the other side of the table and nicely asked if we could sit on both sides (easier to talk to each other as a party of 5) he said verbatim "YOU CAN SIT ON THIS SIDE OR YOU CAN LEAVE". I was shocked. I later find out because of covid regulations we couldn't sit on the other side, which, I totally would have respected had he simply explained that, or even respectfully said no instead of being so unbelievably rude. We ended up at The Back Lot which was a cool place and we had a nice time. We spoke with the owner who owns both the back lot and Tap 30. I told him what happened and he apologized. He explained the businesses are really hurting bc of covid so I changed my rating bc I don't want to contribute to that. It's a shame that they are hurting for business and an employee ran off customers by being so rude. read more

Awesome Good and Service. Underrated on Yelp. Loved the beers and Good. Service was great

While in town for a wedding, we decided to eat lunch in town and happened upon Tap 30 as a lot of the restaurants in town have odd hours and aren't open on Saturdays for lunch. We were asked to seat ourselves and were greeted immediately. We were given one menu to share (odd) and first ordered the pretzels appetizer - which came out delicious. The pretzel breadsticks were piping hot and definitely fresh. Don't be fooled by the jalapeno beer cheese dip, it's not spicy at all...anyone could handle it. I ordered the Tap Mac and Cheese and it's bigger than it looks. After sharing the appetizer, I was only able to eat half of the dish. It was very good, but it was lukewarm after sitting for awhile while my wife's dish was being prepared (we watched it sit from our table). I knocked Tap 30 down a star because once we were finished, our server came to our table with a box and we asked for the bill. He never came back. 20 minutes later, the hostess saw us getting restless and got us our bill. Great decor, great location, great food. read more

Came here on a Tuesday while camping and we ordered a appetizer, pretzel. The pretzel was very good and they even had $2 dollar beer specials which was a great touch. The waitress was very nice and welcoming. read more

Amazing tap bar! Food was fantastic! Great selection of beer with electronic menus on the wall so you can see them from every seat. Totchos are a must try! The melted gouda really takes them up a notch. Mac & cheese was good but almost too hot & spicy. Manager was on task, clearing tables and making sure everyone was sat & taken care of. Place was packed on a Saturday at 1:00 but only a 15 minute wait. Truly worth trying! read more

Good burger, girls ordered Mac & cheese but wasn't aware it was with blue cheese. Instead of taking it back they said we had to order a new one. So we paid double for one entree. Not the best idea, as we probably won't go back there again. read more

Decent drinks, but the service was very, very slow. First round of drinks was slow and incomplete. We ordered two appetizers and were told 45 minutes later we were behind a party of 15. 20 minutes later we're told our food is behind another large order, and told it went to the wrong table and it would be only a couple more minutes. Now we're at 2+ hours and no food. Needless to say we canceled our food order, paid for our drinks and left. No plans to stop by again anytime soon. read more

Excellent selection of beers! But who am I kidding, it's all about the TOTCHOS!!!! read more

The food here is so fresh and yummy. The service was super friendly! If you happen to be in Petoskey definitely stop in!

It was my first time up in downtown Pestosky and I loved the area. There were so many different places to eat and grab a beer and my friend recommended this one. Just walking into the place I loved the ambiance. They had a beautiful outside seating deck, big windows and on the inside I loved the wood decor they had. The inside gave it a nice warm and homey feel. My friend and I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was not busy at all. It was a beautiful day and we knew we wanted to sit on the new outdoor deck. One thing that was consistent throughout the whole experience was how excellent and quick the service was. The servers are very attentive and are extremely friendly and make small talk with all their diners. The menu is quite simple but have solid options. I decided to go with the Bacon Smash burger with two patties and tots on the side. The burger was delicious, I could taste the premium ingredients and was by far an above average burger. The tots were nice and crispy which were a nice addition on the side. I will say that things are more on the expensive side at this place but I say its well worth it for the high quality taste and service you get. Overall, a really good experience and place I would love to go back to next time I am in the area. read more

Tap 30 - Bacon Smash Burger Double Meat with Tater Tots - Bars Near Me - Petoskey, Michigan

Stopped at the tap room last night. The menu was very abbreviated so I ordered the Brickhouse burger which was very good. My wife ordered the pulled pork tacos. She wasn't happy with her choice at all. The pulled pork was extremely dry. She had the waitress get her some ranch dressing to combat that situation. The beer list was very nice. Highly recommend the blood orange wheat honey beer. read more

Food and beer were great. The totchos were so good. Their full size portion is a little small. It's the same tray that Short's uses for their half size. Had a little incident with a very rude waitress being mean to our kids. She wasn't our waitress but another waitress in the restaurant. Manager was very nice and addressed the situation. read more

Weird interaction with the hostess. Stopped by on our way from Mackinac Island to Traverse City to have lunch. I was carrying a small bottle of organic green tea that I had purchased at the local grocery store and the hostess made me leave it at the entrance because it "might be full of vodka". It was the middle of the day during a sidewalk sale and I was with my 12 year old daughter. She was quite rude about it. I had planned to buy a drink and meals so it was perplexing. We decided to leave and had a fabulous lunch at Bistro down the street where I spent a fair amount of money and left a generous tip for the good service. Their loss!! read more

We were there over the holiday weekend. Great service, good food and perfectly balanced cocktail.

Nice location in downtown Petoskey. Large variety of craft beers from all over the US, not just MI. Service was quick and waiter was friendly. Menu was small and pricey. We ended up splitting chicken taco appetizer. 3 to an order for $16. Tacos were very small and the chicken was dry. What was most surprising was the check had gratuity for not only the server but also for the kitchen staff. I think this will be my one and only time there. read more

Food was good, service was excellent... but "Sustainability Surcharge"??? How about a little transparency if you want to add some $ to our bill? read more

Great spot for some brews & food; great selection on tap. Our Server was super friendly and helpful. They took Covid precautions very seriously and that is greatly appreciated! read more

Excellent beer selection. Very cool atmosphere with nice outdoor dining setting. Try the pretzel appetizer; very good!

A nice little bar with a tasty but limited menu and a HUGE fly problem. I went there and had a salad that had lots of berries on it and it was delicious. I ordered a blackened chicken sandwich which actually the flavor was pretty good however what really was overwhelming was just the quantity of flies swarming my food. I would take a bite and swish away flies and take a bite and switch whiteflies it was nasty! read more

Make sure you dress nice. Dont go here if you look like you may be poor. You will be ignored by servers. People seated after us (right next to us) were served while we were not even acknowledged. We got up and walked out to a manager saying "have a nice day" read more

Good beers. Nice and clean setting. Friendly service. Only downfall was the small limited menu.

This is a classy beer bar that spices up the Petoskey bar scene. We've been here twice so far. While the menu may be brief, it has many items that go really well with their beers. We had totchos both nights--I highly recommend!! The wings, salads, mac & cheese, quesadilla, and sliders were all really, really good! My favorite slider was the Korean bbq slider, sweet but spicy. But what I love most about Tap 30 is their wide range of beers or draft combined with reasonable prices. I like that they have an icon next to each beer indicating how much of the keg is left, and they serve each beer in its appropriate glass. Bonus for the Monday night deal: $1 off drafts and 10% off food. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. It's a cool environment to enjoy a beer and good food, much different from some stiffer joints in Petoskey. read more

Excellent beer selection. Friendly staff. Fairly spacious. Liked the music- played 80's alternative mostly. Lots of tvs.

The set-up is great. The decor is cool and I love love the digital menus. Gives you name of beer, type, where is from, how big the pour is, what it comes in and how much it costs.also shows how much of it is left in the keg! Food...meh. Would not probably eat there again. Wings are forgettable, sweet potato fries have too much cinnamon sugar on them, and I lived in Korea so it's not fair to judge their Korean bbq sliders. Staff is A1. My server was a gem and the guy working with her was great too, but that manager, he's odd. I could do without him. I'd go back..but for away from the bar so I didn't have to converse with him. read more

Just be careful here for happy hour. If you order something off the happy hour menu but don't specifically say you want the happy hour pricing, they will charge you full price. This happened to my entire party and our server said since we didn't "specify" we wanted the happy hour pricing there was nothing they could do about it. read more

Great food and staff. The front of the restaurant opens up, lighting the full room nicely. I always make an effort to go to Tap 30 when I'm in Petoskey. read more

Love this place. Plenty of drinks on rotation, and not just beers. Fast and friendly service, this is a Petoskey staple.

Really enjoyed the spicy cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Very good for getting some veggies on vacation when we're eating out a lot. Also enjoyed the totchos, recommended. read more

Fantastic beer choices with a digital beer menu showing prices,beer description and keg capacity. We only had a snack of tater tots that came with jalapeño beer cheese which was unique and tasty. Large portion that was fresh and hot. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. Nice decor. We will be back. read more

our group of 7 stopped in and had an amazing server and incredible food. will definitely make it our go to place in petoskey from now on!!!

It's nice Petoskey has a decent bar hopping scene. This is a spot to put on the list. Beer selection on tap of course is great. The app's are also good making this a good late night stop. Note: The main dishes are not as good as their apps but thoughtful and decent. It's kid friendly with all the regular lineup, grilled cheeses, hot dogs, chicken fingers, etc and you probably won't be the only one in there with kids. Crayons provided ;) read more

This place had amazing smash burgers. The bun held up well and they have their own burger sauce that has great flavor. Fries were crispy and wonderful! read more

Ok atmosphere. Cold decor, but busy for a Monday. Concrete and steel - wow, how original. Food & service were awful. 45 minutes for entrees, our server goes " you're right that was a long time!" and doesn't do anything beyond that...great. Beer cheese was cold and congealed with the tots. They missed an alteration to the ceaser wrap for my wife that would have upset other pregnant ladies but mine took it in stride. Beer menu couldn't be seen so we were told to check out their website..we would have but we had no cell service. We were more than let down. Never again... read more

Tap 30 is an inviting beer bar from the outside. Once inside, the setup is an open, industrial space that can get a little loud when crowded. When my party arrived there was no host to greet us so we just found a table in the back on our own that luckily could fit all 6 of us. I did appreciate the staff being helpful with the baby stroller that we brought and they happily stored it in the back of the restaurant near the restrooms. As for the food I ordered the Honey Lime Sriracha Chicken Wings, which were OK. My wife went with the Totchos, which I thought were a bit decadent and over the top. I think it should be half the size and served as a side dish or small appetizer. The beer selection was fine and about half of the brews came from Michigan. The food was OK but it's nothing special pub food. I would recommend this place for the drinks rather than the food, but it's a small town and it's not a bad place to saddle up for the evening. read more

Popped in here for a peek and was very surprised. It was pack but service was great. Great selection of beer and their menu was great. We just snacked family style over the mac n cheese (should have gotten the buffalo) the Korean tacos, poutine and pretzels. If I had a bar, this is how I would have it. read more

While I was in Petoskey my buddy and I where looking for something fun to do which Led us into Tap 30. What a phenomenal selection of beers and some very good food. We happen to show up during a tap takeover from New Holland Brewery. We both are IPA lovers and found an Awesome selection. I ate the Cuban Sandwich wrap which I highly recommend it was great. If you are up in this part of Michigan and want to get away from all the stuffy and snotty old people find your way into this place. The atmosphere was really nice. The service was very friendly and helpful. I give this place a two thumbs up read more
