Tap House on Austin Street is exactly what I want a neighborhood bar to be. Nothing fancy, a little divey, TVs everywhere, people sitting around having a beer, and nobody trying to turn the experience into something it isn't. I've had the wings and beer here, which honestly feels like the correct order. LOL. The wings are good, the beer is cold, and it's the kind of place where you can sit down, watch a game, talk, and just hang out for a while. It definitely has that old-school neighborhood-bar feel. You'll see regulars, people popping in after work, and depending on what's happening nearby, a completely different crowd can roll through. The service is generally friendly and pretty laid-back, which works for this type of place. I'm not coming here expecting white-glove service. Bring me my wings, keep the beer coming, and we're good. Would I make a special trip across New York specifically for Tap House? Probably not. But if I'm in Forest Hills and want wings, a beer, and somewhere casual to sit for a while, absolutely. read more

This is the quintessential local "dive bar". You will see the same faces every time you walk in. The beer selection is solid with some craft beers on tap as well as the standard stuff selection. Bartenders are always extremely kind and attentive. It's a great spot for happy hour specials with a very chill atmosphere. Overall, Tap House offers great beer, great food, and great service. read more

I've given this bar a few chances but it seems to fall short every time. The food isn't good--over fried & burnt. Service is fine. The ambiance is a bit loud but your typical dive bar vibe. read more

Great food, great bartenders and just big enough. Nothimg better than ¢50 wing night or some fried pickles. 10/10 recommended as a local bar. read more

I came back to Tap House on a Saturday afternoon and had a great time. The bartender was super friendly. I ordered a burger from the brunch menu, which was delicious by the way, and she replaced the tots with fries and since brunch includes a drink she included the beer I was already drinking (brunch menu only had mimosas, screw driver and a couple other drinks, but beer). Fries were also delicious! Nice ambiance music and friendly patrons. I will definitely be back! Parking isn't easy but you can find metered parking. Be careful if you park near the residential area because some streets are private and they can boot your car. read more

Tim Ducey should respond. The local people have no clue, costing you extra energy costs and a worst return. Commen sense, Dont provide heat at chest level while or feet freeze. Cold. Has ceiling fans but doesn't use them properly. They are off. During winter set fans to clockwise rotation to drive down hot air from ceiling to floor. Also another dumb idea is to provide supplemental heating at counter level, heat rises, so our legs are cold. Told them but ignored my recommendations. Their loss. Is owner dumb or just clueless? Please respond. And guess what, no response. Feet are cold. read more

Neighborhood Gem ! My boyfriend and I come here often for wings and beer :) they have some of the best wings as far as bars in the area. I really enjoy their garlic parm! Nice selection of beers. Also a decent size bar you're not on top of each other. Unless its packed then thats a different story lol. Good amount of tvs if you're into watching the game! Service is always good as well. read more

Good, solid pub. Crowd is mixed, seems to get more mixed as night goes on. Bar is run by the regulars but don't let that deter you. Decor is standard pub design. Drinks are solid and seem to be the most affordable on Austin St. Music is loins as well, so if you are looking for a quiet spot this isn't it. read more

Just had a get together with some friends since 5 yrs old. So we celebrated at the Tap House and had the greatest experience. We were waited on by Jamie who was absolutely phenomenal taking great care of us. Also the woman server for dining tables was fantastic as well. Everybody's friendly there. I went with a screwdriver with pineapple juice and Their fish & chips. Absolutely phenomenal. The cod was cooked to perfection and had it with tater tots. We had a fantastic experience at The Tap House. Thank you for a wonderful time. read more

I love going to this place during football season. Great food for a bar, great staff, and a friendly crowd that consists of regulars. - Aimel Saifi read more

Very good food especially the wings and tacos. Best bartenders ever Maria, Adrian, Nick, Anthony, Jamie and Geordie.

Cute, casual place to stop in for a drink/bar food. Always have sports playing, good spot to watch.

Still good after all these years! Glad to see familiar friendly faces. What are you waiting for? Go already! Fries, yum! read more

This is one of my friends neighborhood bar hangout. We came just to have a birthday drink/shots after dinner. The staff was great and as he knew most of the people there, they were all cordial and friendly. The bar is located on a blocked off street so we could comfortable sit down and be socially distant. The prices were very fair and I enjoyed the time I spent here. read more

Pretty solid dive bar option on bustling Austin St. Popped in early evening for food and drink and some baseball prior to a show at Forest Hills. I will say that the spicy chicken sandwich is no joke. Huge and with jalapeños on it as well as jalapeño bacon, it is tasty but legit spicy. Also enjoyed the fried pickle appetizer. My girlfriend was less impressed with the pulled pork sliders. Beer list was solid, good local options--perhaps a tad IPA and lager heavy, but it happens. Seems like a good bar for sports watching, with ample TVs for multiple events. Struck me as perhaps a tad unclean but then again it is a dive bar! Overall I had a good time but felt a bit underwhelmed when I left--of course, that could be the Mets' fault. read more

I have been to the Tap House a dozen times. I moved to Queens during the pandemic. This is my regular "watering hole." I don't go to bars to go to bars, ever. I stop in here en route, either coming back from Manhattan or headed there. It is convenient to the LIRR stop and only a couple of blocks from the 71st/Continental subway stop, and I often eat in the neighborhood. I have no complaints. They don't recognize me. That is fine. I'd rather be anonymous. Plus, a dozen visits in four years hardly qualifies me as a barfly like Norm Peterson and Cliff Clavin at Cheers, a reference that likely dates me, since the spinoff to that sitcom has been off the air for a couple decades. I have noticed that the venue is popular: on some visits, the place is packed, and you can hardly get in. Beyond the basics, I would say they have a great selection of beers. It is just outstanding for a neighborhood joint. If you are one of those connoisseurs who samples the beverage, keeping track (I know there are social media apps; I enjoy imbibing, but I do not need another app to play with), you would do well with a session here. I have eaten a few times. The food is what you would expect. That is a compliment, not a criticism. It is quite competent, and that is tempting. (I am at a point in life when I ought to avoid sliders, burgers, fried chicken, and onion rings, and delicacies such as poutine.) read more

Food is good. Good selection of cocktails on the menu. Lots of choices of beer on tap and draft. 50c wings every Monday and Thursday. You can wait a little sometimes for service... Overall not a bad place for drinks and food. read more

they need to chill with the extremely loud music... especially on Mondays. They consistently have strange loud music. I get that they need to have music for atmosphere given they are a bar/restaurant but having it this loud every night is a lot. Also there is always some weird fight happening because they close so late so not the best folk hang there and cause chaos- idk why the NYPD doesn't do something about it already. I could see from previous reviews this is not the first time or the last this happened over the past 10 years. read more

Pittsburgh Steelers sports bar. Lots of TVs inside. Space is well organized to move around. They have several tables outside too under their dining shed. Draft list is a mix of crafts, locals, and macros, so everyone will find something they'll like. Service was quick and friendly. read more

I like old school NYC bars and The Tap House has that vibe. Almost in the dive bar category but not quite. A friendly neighborhood bar right on Austin Street with an experienced staff, good beer selection (IPAs), and a good hang. Stop in for a drink, or two, or three. read more

ok ok. don't kill me for this review. DONT LOOK AT MY 4 STARS AND AUTOMATICALLY THINK THIS IS A HIGH END SPOT. NO ITS NOT. This is the neighborhood bar where you can get great drinks without breaking your bank, get some bar food that is ACTUALLY GOOD. The bartender (i believe his name is matt) is super friendly, he took the time to explain to me all the Happy Hour specials they have...but I just forgot about it. Even without the HH, you're talking about $6 for most pints of draft beers. They serve Atomic Wings (i guess they buy the recipe), and its GOOD. My go to sauce is the Thai Chili wings. A little sweet, a little kick, on meaty wings. yum. The 1 star was taken away cos they need to wipe the bar down more often with a CLEAN cloth, its often sticky and has that wet rag smell. I come here for most sporting events and I would love to see this place continue to do well read more

Tap Room used to be the only forest hills neighborhood bar. Buy backs were the norm. Now you get a SMALL glass of wine with no buy backs and increased price. (See picture) No longer recommended. The 1 STAR is too generous. Will never come again Further, when I came in the bartender was sitting at a table eating and seemed annoyed to have to get up. Also ignored the phone ringing. Good bar gone bad. read more

Stopped in the Tap House for the 1st time yesterday to pregame for the show at Forest Hills Stadium. The joint had an excellent locals vibe with a good beer selection and an excellent "bar food" menu with some cool twists. The staff was very kind and the hospitality was great. They treated us like regulars that had been there a thousand times. I would highly recommend to anyone that's local or passing through the area for fun ! read more

Best bar in Forest Hills. The drinks and the food are surprisingly inexpensive. The appetizers are very good. The servers are excellent.

Nice local bar... Adrian is the best bartender ever! So warm and welcoming and the Irish accent doesn't hurt! He made my night!!!

This place needs to go, attracting the wrong crowd.. i live up the block and theres always something dramatic happening. Friends have recommended me to eat and drink here for after work, i did oblige but wasnt greeted properly or tended to so i left. Its probably not my sort of thing anymore, used to love places like these out on long island but the crowd and vibe is different here.. not for me or my wife. read more

I frequent the restaurants in this area and I never went to Tap House until last week. I met a random customer who turned out to be a highly accomplished chef. He recommended the tacos to me which weren't on the normal menu. I was skeptical at first and took a chance. WOW...they were amazing. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the sauce was a winner. The bartender Maria was a really nice woman and I would go back just for her cause she is very inviting and loveable. It's a local sports bar and the decor reflects that. It's very relaxed vibe. read more

ADRIAN!!! Best bartender I've ever experience. Every time I see him behind the bar I know it's going to be a good night . It starts with the drinks being so good . He's not stingy with the pour and helps make every recommendation feel genuine and not forced to up the bill . The food is made with love and you can taste the effort to staying fresh. Overall love everything about this place. See you every Thursday!!! read more

I've been here plenty times to pre-game or to kill time before heading to my final destination. I see why I never wrote a review. Nothing about this bars stands out to me. It's a typical place that people frequent to get their buzz on sort of like me. As I walked pass the unique boutiques and chain stores I clenched my Tory B. and focused on finding a decent bar. My feet led me here. Tap House is relatively cheap. I wasn't to keen on spending an arm and leg. It's extremely easily to do that in Forest Hills. I asked the shark teeth bartender for the drink specials. I couldn't make up my mind. Ten minutes later I decided to go with a Peach Martini. She tells me she can't make it. --Blank Stare-- You mean to tell me Tap House doesn't have: 2 ounces vanilla vodka 1 - ounce peach schnapps 2 ounces peach nectar 1/2 -ounce fresh lime juice Ice cubes Peach slice, for garnish (optional) On stand by? For Shame Tap House, FOR SHAME!! Unsatisfied with her answer I decided to order a Long Island. I haven't had a LIT in like...(for...e.v.e.r). In the interim something told me to peruse the photos on Yelp for TH. Ahem what do I find drumrolls please....... A Damn Pic Of A Wait....It....Couldn't....Be PEACHtini Vexed is an understatement. read more

Gets really, really crowded, aisles are too small, not enough seats or counters. But really, there are like 4 stalls for the bathroom (unisex), so there's always a line. Apart from that, there's a wide selection of beer. I love that you're able to taste different types of beer. There's one for everyone. Or if you just want a half glass and call it a night, that works too. read more

Tap House - Sports Bars Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

The storefront changes that span the most popular portions of Austin Street come in and out like the ebbing and flow of the tide in dormant waters. Any shore breakers will reveal restaurants with outdated attitude and ever dulling menus, perhaps a clothier with clothes a little too Eurocentric for us penny loafer conservative Forest Hilligans. (Petland Discounts that predated Footloose the club that predated Footloose the movie still holds firm ground-----a worthy point of unique interests and Austin St nostalgia if nothing else) Then there are the success stories, champions of both industries that day after day and year after year crank out a successful product and remain a fixture upon the local scene. I've stopped in Tap House a few times just to wet my beak with the notion of a quick return to partake in the menu, and this past Sunday I did return -- and could kick myself for not returning much sooner. Guess I'll just have to make up for lost time then won't I? Narragansett on tap is a beautiful sight to behold, a fine structured beer with a great price tag to start with. Leading me to dabble in a few of the other craft specialty beers served up at the perfect temperature with a smile that can move mountains. Act Two was the eating portion of my happily gluttonous football Sunday, where I like to adhere to a strict regimented diet of Wings, Sliders, and Burgers (& Beer). Each preformed a bursting flavor of freshness like an overture of Chopin as I was a chomping. (It's supposed to rhyme) The wings were plump, meaty and cooked just the way a professional sports bar attendee would hope to receive, unlike the God da#n Jets who cant catch or recieve a Gdamn cold, let alone a quick slant or down and out pattern. Uuugh.. The patty on the burger smacked of flavor and the sliders rounded off a meal that far exceeds the star reflection I was shocked to see upon my initial Check In. read more

I recently went to Tap House for a UYE during Yelp Drinks Week. By the way, a UYE is an Unofficial Yelp Event in case you're not part of the cult. Tap House is a chill neighborhood bar in the wilderness of Queens that offers some decent brews on draft. As it was a Friday night, the bar was pretty full. As I looked around, I kept thinking that the patrons were definitely an interesting mix of young, old, gay, straight, rowdy, and quiet individuals. Someone made the remark saying that this place reminded him of a bar in a suburb in Chicago. Although I've never been to the suburbs of Chicago, I got that suburb feeling too. It reminds me of the kind of bar in my small hometown where you might run into your boyfriend's parents or your school teacher or those guys from the gym. It was kind of nice. My friend and I left the party early to head elsewhere for the evening. Apparently after I left it turned into a drunken rage party so I'm curious to see this place late at night. I'm willing to take the 60 minute train ride again to go there again if it's with the right people. read more

The Tap House is a bar with a local vibe and feel in ambience and patrons. There is nothing frilly or pretentious about it, just beer and food, and good food at that. It's simple and straightforward and everything is reasonably priced. Sometimes you just need simple bar food in a comfortable environment without hipsters or yuppies. lol I especially can appreciate $4 for 10 wings which were good. If you're looking to stop in and wanting to avoid spending $9 on a beer, this is the place to go to. I've also been here on a Tuesday, and the fish tacos were excellent. read more

Random stop, no regrets! Good place to get away and get a solo drink or strike up conversation and make chill, laid back friends. Definitely the "I'm not here for a long time, but I'm here for a good time" vibe even on a Wednesday night. Fast service and a delicious menu filled with bar food options (some options even friendly for vegetarians)! Picked the truffle potato chips as a treat, super filling would definitely suggest for sharing. Truffle oil, parm, and salted homemade crispy potatoe chips with green onions. Paired perfectly with Stella Artois on TAP! Definitely worth a bite and drink and a great option in the area for a drink while still being able to hear over good music (touchtunes for music connoisseurs). read more

Stopped in here one night at random because I had some friends in town visiting and we wanted to go to a not so crowded spot with decent food and drinks. So I used my Yelp app to see what was around me in the area and this spot popped up with good reviews. So we took a walk over and was not disappointed. We had a very helpful server who told us what food was really good, what was his favorites, and what to avoid lol I love honest employees haha So I took his recommendation and ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and it was very delicious! So both the food and service was great! As far as atmosphere goes- also very good! It was a Monday so I don't know how it is on the weekends, but it wasn't too crowded. We got a table in the back and were able to play the jukebox, talk, and actually hear each other and have an overall good time. The drinks were nice and strong too- so you get what you pay for. I'd definitely come back here again if I'm in the area! read more

The burgers were special made. Very good meat. Got fries instead of a side salad but the waitress was sweet so we weren't too upset about it. Came during early happy hour, happy hour prices are great. They were playing the world cup so entertainment was good as well. A good time. I do recommend. read more
