Hopped off of a long flight, just to head over to Tap In and grab lunch. The service was great and the Hot honey chicken sandwich was exactly what I needed. The Paloma and the Mezcalita have to be my favorite cocktails by far! The open space, plants, lighting and music really were dialed into perfection. I even returned to catch their Resident Dj sets. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!!! such a vibe. Perfect for date night or a girls night out. The ambiance is so relaxed and the music is perfect for the restaurant. The service was amazing. We had James as our waiter and he was awesome and very kind. The drink options were very unique and delish. I loved the menu, it had a mix of all different types of food and flavors. The portions were good, we had some leftovers. Elote: 9.2/10 full of seasoning and flavor. Absolutely doused with flavor. Brussel Sprouts: 10/10 perfect in every way. They were perfectly cooked and charred with lots of seasoning. Mac & cheese: 7/10 it was cooked perfect with a lil crunch but it lacked seasoning, maybe a lil more salt beef tips: 10.1/10 if possible. These were my favorite!!! Perfect sized pieces, super tender, juicy and cooker perfectly. The seasoning was perfect for the beef. Paired well with brussel sprouts miso glazed salmon: 10/10 okay i'll be honest...my cats name is miso so i felt weird ordering it but WOW. Absolutely immaculate. The miso glaze tasted fresh and homemade and perfect for this salmon. the salmon itself tasted very high quality and prepared to perfection. house rice: 8.5/10 well seasoned and well cooked, maybe a lil citrus flavor would make it stand out read more

I enjoy going to Tap In to eat! It is a great space, location and atmosphere to dine with others. It has a very chill and calming vibe. During the day it is never too busy, so even stopping in for a quick lunch is simple. Typically there is only 1 person serving, so it can take awhile to get your food. I often order a drink and an appetizer to hold me over while I wait for my meal. Remember to ask them to bring it out when its ready so you don't have to wait. Often when I have done this, the app and meal are all brought out at the same time. I really enjoy the Miso Salmon, brussell sprouts, salad and mac. The drinks are fun, floral and creative. Soon they will have a cool outdoor summer patio space! read more

We had a streak where we were coming here every Friday and taking friends anytime we wanted a nice spot to meet-up. When it first opened, a reservation was definitely needed, but we've popped in several times at off hours with no problems. Maybe get one if you like to go at traditional hours. The cocktails are well balanced, and the food is well thought out between, fat, salt, acid, and texture! The Elote, Brisket Entree, Chips & Guac and Kale Caesar are the standouts! They always provide AMPLE guac - you'll have more guac than chips, which is a good problem to have! It's very thick & flavorful, and yummy pops of sea salt come through on the chips! Elote, no notes. The brisket entree is like a hearty charcuterie where you can rotate through flavors and won't get sick of one heavy item. The Kale Salad was surprising, only note is to ask for an extra lime wedge! Residential street parking, friendly service, this is on the pricier side as most cocktail bars are! read more

Went there for Valentine's Day dinner! They didn't have their regular menu available on Valentine's Day, but I really enjoyed my lemon pepper salmon. The chicken in the pasta was also very well-seasoned. Service was also fast despite they got busy right after we were seated. Brownies were also very good, and the dessert was worth every penny. Vibes were super cool and bathrooms were also nice. My only complaint is that music was a little too loud and it'd have been cuter if jazz or softer music was played that day. read more

A great visit for our first time. This is a local spot we have been eyeing since they began construction. Even from the outside you can tell how cool of a vibe it is. The decor is also so fun. Stopped by with no reservation on a Friday as they also had a DJ- we were greeted right away by friendly staff. They did seem surprised by our lack of reservation but were able to find space for us which was very welcoming. The food was delicious & the portions were great! Delicious mocktails and cocktails as well! It is smaller so in the future I will make a reservation but the vibe I get is that it is a very communal space & welcoming. They have a very limited parking lot 5-6 spots but there is a lot of street parking as well. read more

This place is such a hidden gem!! (And I don't use that word lightly) North Minneapolis has lots of great restaurants and this is a great Black-owned business to support. The ambiance and decorations were lovely, and the food was really good! I got the Cantaloupe Mocktail and Miso Salmon. Their hush puppies were amazing, first time I had it! We went during the lunch hour and it was pretty empty, though I've heard the dinner or night life scene is the best! They have DJs come on special occasions. The staff were also very kind! There's a big parking lot too. I would definitely visit again! read more

TAP IN - Miso Glazed Salmon Entree, Kale Ceasar, Hush Puppies, Canteloupe Marg N/A - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Tap In is a true gem in North Minneapolis, nestled right on the border of Robbinsdale.** Elegantly decorated with a welcoming vibe, it's the kind of place that feels both elevated and deeply rooted in community. The food is consistently delicious, the drinks are inventive and exciting, and the service is always kind, attentive, and caring. I make it a point to visit several times a month--it's that good. In the summer, the venue transforms when two large garage doors open to create an airy, open-concept atmosphere. There's nothing like enjoying a cocktail and a bite while soaking in the fresh breeze and sunshine. Favorites from the menu include the greens, salmon, chicken and chicken wings, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes. The signature cocktail menu is a standout--I'm partial to the Mexacalita and the Old Fashioned. And for dessert? The peach cobbler crumble and apple fritters with vanilla ice cream are absolute musts. Tap In fills a much-needed gap as a sit-down destination in North. Treat yourself--and bring a friend. You'll be glad you did. read more

This place was a pleasant surprise for my birthday. Me and a great friend went on a weekend. I didn't know what to expect except the posts I've seen on Instagram. I didn't know what to expect. I'll say this. The gram didn't do this place justice. We were really impressed! Location 4/5 this Northside location is conveniently located near the Robbinsdale off the main street but the noise level is minimal. There was plenty of side street parking; Tap In seemed to be finishing their parking lot. It would be a convention option if they did. Ambiance 5/5 The rich earth tones of brown stucco, glass garage doors, figurines and books mixed with 90's neosoul & R&B just ushers in a chill vibe. The lighting fixtures were so earthly and beautiful. They had a nice patio area, will definitely be back in warmer weather. Service / Cost 4/5 Veey a welcoming hostess, attentive waitress and great food. The Brussel Sprouts and Elotes were flavorful along with the Parmesan fries which were fried to perfection w/every crispy bite! Great app choices. The Rum Punch was packing a punch, it is was goodt! Reasonably priced food and drinks Salmon dinner $34 - underwhelming $14Rum Punch Elotes $13 Overall 10/10 I'll recommend and will be back..such a lovely place. read more

I met up with a friend for dinner at this new restaurant in Minneapolis, I used to work nearby and was thrilled to hear about it. I've heard many good things about the food and suggested we come try it. The restaurant is pretty, reminds me of Mexico resort with the lights and unique wall. They had 1 server that day, and the bartenders had come to assist in taking orders and serving food. Food was delicious, very flavorful and big portions. I enjoy craft cocktails and drinks were also delicious. read more

Loved our visit to this restaurant. We ordered an array of appetizers and each dish was well-executed - we gushed to each other about each one as we tasted them. Excellent cocktails. Attentive, friendly server. Great atmosphere. Lovely decor. Would make a great first date destination. read more

The Tulum inspired decor makes it a great place for photos and making you feel like you're somewhere exotic, I loved it! My group had a reservation and was seated right away. But once we were seated no one served us for at least 20 minutes and that was only because I flagged someone down. During this time the host brought over a free appetizer which I'm sure was because we had not been served yet. Once the waiter took our order the drinks came out quickly and then shortly after we got our food. The drinks were delicious! The appetizer we got for free was the loaded fries and everyone said they were great! They were hot and the brisket was perfect. I also order fried green tomatoes but they came out with my meal instead of beforehand. They were crisp and freshly made! As for the entrees- since everyone loved the brisket I got the brisket meal. Unfortunately the Mac and cheese was dry and cold but the brisket was good and hot. My sister got the catfish sandwich which looked great but was actually cold along with her fries. She sent it back and opted not to get anything else. My other sister got the salmon sandwich and she said it was good! She shared a piece with our sister and she agreed. While we were eating the bartender brought my sister another drink after hearing about her sending her food back. She offered to bring my sister something else but my sister declined. Overall, the ambiance and music were great. The food was okay but needs to be served more appropriately and the service needs a lot of work. As a new restaurant it gives them an opportunity for growth! read more

The parking lot is a little snug but there is much street parking. I cant wait to experience this space in the summer. The decor and ambiance is so relaxing and zen. I love how personable Chef and waitress was they showed major hospitality def providing a welcoming atmosphere. We loved our food, Id like a bit more sauce over the salmon to flavor the rice underneath. Overall we definitely enjoyed our 1st time and planning on returning soon. I did look over the cocktail menu and Im eager to try some next time. I see that they have DJs some nights and this seems very inviting as well. read more

We kept it real simple with fried chicken, mac and cheese, hush puppies, and a catfish sandwich. We finally got our catfish cooked right and baby I fell in love with the hush puppies. Shout out to the beautiful atmosphere and good service. Also, isn't my drink so cute? I've really been enjoying my N/A drinks. read more

Love the vibes and artistry of this small restaurant. Let's get to the food. Let's start with the best, the chicken wings were phenomenal. They were fried crispy and they were dry rubbed in lemon pepper, but you could tell the dry rub lemon and pepper was marinated within the chicken batter. Not just some seasoning thrown on. Very very phenomenal. I'm a brussels sprout fein right now and they were not the best ever but far from the worst. Ok now for the brisket, let's make this quick. I will never get it again. Same goes for mac & cheese, that was just a poor display of Mac. And I'm unfortunately a Mac and cheese connoisseur. The cornbread, yeah, no. If I just had the wings and brussels sprouts this would be close to five out of five stars. But my entree choice just was a miss unfortunately. read more

If I could leave a 0 star review I would. Terrible service and very shady when it came to the bill. Food took forever and so did drinks. Deposit you don't even get back, so dumb. Awful servers. Trifling food. God awful. How they're still in business is beyond me but please, I'll do a all a favor and warn you to not even think of going here it's a JOKE read more

This place has great ambiance! It's so cute inside, definitely does not feel like "the hood." The service was lacking due to their limited staff, our server literally had us parched, we had to flag down a waiter to get water. The food was very mediocre. We tried a number of things and had to send the burnt Brussel sprouts back! -The dry rub wings were decent -The corn bread really tasted like something out of an "easy bake" oven! -The greens were riddled with vinegar and my face squinted after eating a bite! -The fries were good Although the ambiance was really nice, I would say they need to work on their menu items or change some recipes, too many disappointments. read more

The drive was not that bad from Eagan, plus if you new here, get a chance to see a little bit of the city.. The Tap In is very nice the Vibe when you walk in is very nice.. I was greeted when I came in. The server was very nice... I order a drink right away and my food. The food was very fast. While sitting there waiting, they opened the doors a very nice day out, music was playing in the background. You can go outside they had a Dj very nice. The wings were very salty The drink was so good and fries nice The parking is street parking.. They are working on that, I think, which is helpful if you left that be known on the website. The bathroom and wash room it's a vibe.. Try it.. Might be a vibe for you.. read more

Tap In MN is a new eatery located in North Minneapolis. First impression: WOW! This place is so beautiful. I felt whisked away to a different country. The vibes were certainly on point. We were off to a very good start! They have a small parking lot, but street parking is available so that was lovely. We were greeted and seated right away and a server took our drink order. The restaurant wasn't completely full, but they had quite a few folks in during this time. Our server was super sweet but took a while to get us our drinks, take our order, and never came to check on us after our food was delivered. Now onto the meal and drinks. We ordered a mojito and was served... a lemonade with rum? When we asked the server and noted the drink tasted quite off and not good, she stated they ran out of mint. Nonetheless, she said she would get us a new drink and 15 minutes later she never returned. We flagged down another gentleman and he indicated they had not run out of mint and he replaced the drink with an actual mojito. Really appreciated his prompt service! Food: we ordered chicken wings for a starter and read on the menu the order comes with 7. We were only served 5. When asked, she said she would check on it and never returned to our table. For an entree we ordered the brisket, macaroni and cheese and collard greens which came with hushpuppies. Unfortunately, the food was very underwhelming. Everything had a watery taste and really lacked flavor. The hushpuppies were pretty tasty and we did enjoy those! Due to the slow service and having to return our food, it wasn't the best experience. I do plan to return to give them another try and hope things have improved! read more

The food was absolutely yummy except for the Mac and cheese and corn bread. Other than that everything else on the menu seemed thoughtfully curated. I tried the sweet plantains,Brussel sprouts, hot honey chicken,house fries,collard greens and the chicken. I was blown away by the flavors and presentation. The cocktails were equally impressive, with creative combinations that felt both modern and refreshing. I got the espresso martini, Hennessy margarita, cantaloupe margarita and passion fruit soda mocktail. What truly sets TAP IN apart, though, is the vibe. The live music in the evening added a vibrant energy to the space, making it perfect for a night out with friends or a casual date night. The staff was warm, attentive, and seemed genuinely happy to be there, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. Would go back during happy hour read more

Boooo, management sucks. Cleanliness is appalling. Overpriced, mid food and drinks. Would give zero if I could. They also treat their employees terribly. Want good food? Go anywhere else. read more

Yum Yum!!! Tap In was Delicious! Our Server Shaquan, aka Leon from Snowfall look alike was Amazing!!! He was friendly and made sure all of our needs were met.

The setup is nice, cozy and welcoming. read more

Tap In is new and very chill! The customer service is really good youre not just sitting waiting to be waited on the staff is very attentive. The drinks are good I do recommend getting the rum punch just have them add a little bit more rum. I had the catfish sandwich it was good I wish it was fried a little longer. The Brussel sprouts were seasoned well and not burnt which made me happy. The mac and cheese was the noodles did not blend with the cheese it just was not an hit. The potato salad didnt taste restaurant made but it could have been. I will return because I would like to try the brisket sandwich and wings. Check out Tap In great food and environment. read more

I had really high hopes for this place. I'll start off by saying the service was very good. Our waiter really did a good job taking care of us and making sure we were enjoying our meals. Unfortunately the dishes really just weren't up to par. My favorite part of my meal was the Brussel sprouts which was a side in my beef tips. I need the recipe for those sprouts to make myself ! Overall I'd give the entree a 7/10. A little bit on the salty side and I feel like the beef tips themselves could have been softer. The horseman which was a sesame infused Japanese whiskey drink tasted like I was drinking sesame seed oil in a cocktail form. I like sesame and ginger but both those flavor profiles are very strong so you have to be careful to balance them in any meal or drink. That was a 6/10. I also got the hand mashed sour which was simply a whiskey sour with bourbon. Nothing really special but solid. For that I'll give an 8/10 for following the recipe book. The wings were supposed to be Thai basil flavored. Personally they did not taste like Thai basil wings and I've had my fair share of them. I'd say more Cajun. They came out hot but the chicken was rubbery in my opinion which threw me off. 5/10 for those. The dessert was honestly disappointing. Truly lacking in favor. It really didn't give crumble...Because of that I would have skipped the peaches entirely and just had the ice cream which was decent quality. 6/10 for that. Overall D+/C. Lots of room for improvement. read more

I went here with a group of six on 1.3.25, at 6:00 PM. I had the elote appetizer, the guacamole, an old fashioned, and a salmon sandwich. I was pleased with my food. Others at the table had mixed reviews on the food, but all the drinks were good. The cantalope margarita was very good. The reason for the 3 stars was the slow service. We were the second table in the restaurant, and we still waited until after apps for our drinks to arrive. The overall experience lasted 2 hours. The server(s) were incredibly nice, there was just no efficiency to the process. There's no doubt more drinks would have been ordered and more money spent if not for the long delays. My advice would be to work on the efficiency of ordering and delivering. read more

We were incredibly disappointed with our evening at Tap In. We made a reservation over 3 weeks in advance, and when we arrived they said that it was a last minute reservation and needed time to put tables together(party of 12). There was one server, one bartender and one person in the kitchen--on a Saturday night! We are a group of women who get dressed up and go out to celebrate life together once a month and were so excited to support this black business, but really regretted our decision to come here. They were out of French fries(!) and a few other sides, even ran out of ranch dressing for the wings. Everything was SO salty. Our evening was honestly ruined by the food and food service. In all fairness, we recognized that it was not the server's fault--it seems to be a bigger issue here . The owner should have been called to come in or something to help or get more supplies. The cantaloupe margarita and the DJ were the only redeeming parts. They did remove most of our food from the bill, but it's really unfortunate because you only get one chance to make an impression and It's a no for me. read more

TAP IN - Very salty lemon pepper wings - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

A must-try in the Twin Cities! We stopped by about 2 weeks after they opened. I was blown away by the decor of this place. You can tell every detail was curated beforehand. You get a Tulum-inspired aesthetic right in the heart of the Northside. They also took their tome with crafting a great drink and food menu. I asked one of the chefs what I should order, and he said, "you can't go wrong top to bottom" on the menu. I rarely believe that, but he was right. We tried more than 10 dishes and loved all of them. The Legendary Dry Rub chicken wings were a 10/10. I don't usually like Hush Puppies, and I would order these every visit. The cantaloupe margarita was a fave for everyone at the table. It was refreshing and not too sweet. Other honorable mentions; Mac & Cheese, Brisket Loaded Fries, anything with the fried Catfish or Salmon. Tbh you would close your eyes and pick something out and you wouldn't be disappointed. I couldn't be more impressed with what they did with this from the vibes to the drinks to the food to the service. I hope this soon becomes a neighborhood / city staple. read more

Loved the catfish! People were friendly The collards were let's say healthy but still good.

My friend and I stopped on a Friday afternoon for a meal and were seated promptly. We each got sandwich + fries and a drink. He got the rum punch (sweet and good) and the chicken sandwich, which he liked. I got the mojito (lots of mint!) and the brisket sandwich -- messy, of course (hello brisket!) and also delicious. The spicy pickles were a fun layer of flavor. Our server was attentive and helpful. We had a great time and will be back. What a great addition to our neighborhood! read more

This spot has high expectations, and blew past them! The space is both vibrant but and peacefully elegant, setting the tone for an incredible dining experience with heart and great detail throughout. The craft cocktails are out of this world, the food is elegant but familiar, and we can't wait to come back. You'll be blown away tasting the sweet chili wings! Also try the INCREDIBLE chips and hand-made guacamole with a couple mezcalitas before your meal! Great for date nights, casual lunch, or a quick cocktail--all adding to the vibrancy of North Minneapolis for years to come!! read more

I think north Minneapolis finally has a great place to go eat at! The inside of the restaurant takes you to a different place. The vibe is very chill. The music is on point! The chicken wings are so flavorful and crispy! The deep fried catfish was also crispy and tasted amazing. The collard greens help balance the taste with the meats. The Mac and cheese looked a bit dry, but when you bite into it, it's actually not dry at all. It tastes great! The brisket did have a little too much sauce on it but, we threw it into with the fries and it made for a great mixture! read more

Ordered 2 orders of chicken and they were not cooked thoroughly. Also, orders fries and guac & chips and 2 overpriced drinks for a total of $70.00. It's a cute place, but they changed their cooking staff and not for the better. The service was ok, not exceptional. Went there a month ago and the chef and Menu were way better. I can't see them doing well now with the hiked up prices and new cooking staff. read more
