    I've been a fan of this mom & Pop ta house since day one. Even with all the places in North County that have craft beers Tap That still holds it's own as a "5 star local tap house". Always something amazing and hard to find on tap. And as for the taps. You won't find cleaner well maintained taps and the beer thats poured out of them the here. That's the owners specialty. In fact that is how he got famous enough to open his own place. He cleaned and maintenances taps all over north county until he opened " Tap That". If your looking for a laid back, local pub, with the best local brews. Tap That is it! Canned/bottle beers and wine too

    I've been here several times now and it will probably be my go to spot for a beer in this area. I'm still new to the craft beer and coming to Tap That is a great place to try different beers from a lot of breweries. I love how they have a special every night and that they also serve food on Wednesday and Friday nights. Ok so Tap That is pretty small, a small bar, a few tables and several chairs up against the walls. A reason why I like this spot is because they have the beers that I like, mango sours and just about anything fruity. They also change the beer list about once a month or so and I really love that. The bartenders are pretty cool but I think once you had one too many they will start to play with your mind. I guess there are two sisters that work here who are Cat and Carina but I think they are the same person. Or maybe I had one too many. Either way Tap That is a great little spot for some tasty local beer.

    This is the main area, and there's a patio as well.

    This is a mellow, friendly, nice place to try a few different beers. They had about 20-22 beers on tap. It is no-frills and has a great neighborhood vibe. It is affordable, they have giant jenga, and a patio as well with occasional live music. This past weekend was our first visit and we were stoked to have stumbled upon their 2-year anniversary party. We were greeted at the door and got to enjoy free delicious food cooked by the owner's dad. The owner & his family were there, and everyone was familiar and friendly, definitely a cool locals spot. It is a great place to grab a pint.

    Great local tap room! Always a good tap beer selection, w/ a good mix of some whales and the good ol local favorites! Their bottle selection is definitely on point. Owners know the scene and it comes across in their offerings. Alex the beertender has deep local craft beer roots and has the knowledge to steer you in the right direction. I've met alot of locals here and had some really good conversations. Hit them up on your to/from the beach, you won't be disappointed! PS the AC is always cranking. You're welcome...lol

    So walking up to this place may not seem like it belongs there nor does a lot of things in life makes sense, but the moment you step foot and talk with the wonderful owners I begin to appreciate the concept and location of it all:) They have all the local craft beers jammed into into this mini warehouse. Their is plenty of seating wall to wall and 2 tvs to keep you entertained. You will also be greeted by a bulldog whos picture can be seen hanging on the wall with the goofy beer goggles lol. If you dont know what kinda beer you like, the owners are very generous in having you taste test all of the beers until you find one that suits your taste buds. Overall, the service here is above great and I highly recommend you stop by this hidden gem! Not a lot of places carry all the local craft beers and not all of them give you that stellar genuine service! Prices are great too, they have 3 different price points to fit your budget so if your feeling a bit cheap you will definitely go a long way with $10!

    Thanks to Travis and Kelly, we have an awesome double-tap kegerator in our kitchen, fully stocked with delicious local San Diego craft beer! We contacted them after looking into a couple of options locally, and were impressed with their knowledge, impressive keg list, and awesome customer service. Both Travis and Kelly are very knowledgable about local craft beer, super warm and inviting, and just all around great people to do business with. We went to the actual tap room to look at our options, and I'm so glad we did! Travis showed us their extensive bottle selections, and talked with us for about 20 mins about our options while we sampled some of their current tap list. The tap room is large, has an awesome collection of local tap handles, and hosts some of the best local food vendors, including my fave - Dad's Hot Dogs! Once we made our decisions about the kegerator, Travis made the process very simple. We never felt rushed and were very well informed of our rent-to-own options vs buying outright, etc. Within a week of our order, we had our kegerator delivered, set up and ready to pour Green Flash Double Stout. Throughout the ordering process, they were very accommodating, and could have delivered even sooner if we had been available. Travis took time to show my better half how to use the tap system, maintain it properly - and most importantly, how to properly pour a beer!! When we emptied the first keg, we emailed them about options for delivery and new kegs. Kelly responded to my numerous my emails very quickly, told me all of our options when the keg we wanted wasn't available, and could have set up delivery two days later, if it wasn't for our busy schedules. But, as luck would have it, we decided to pick up the kegs (Port Brewing Wipeout IPA and Board Meeting) and got to meet Kelly in person. Despite being busy, and pregnant, she knew exactly who we were, grabbed our orders quickly, and had us out the door in less than five minutes. We're very pleased with our purchases, and will continue to order our kegs from Travis and Kelly... As well as stopping by the tap room to try new local craft treats!!! You can tell from the care that is taken with every order that Travis and Kelly take great pride in their business and sharing local SD craft beer love. The keg list on their website is very extensive, but if you're looking for something not on the list, email them and they'll respond quickly. Also, the keg deposit is less than buying directly from the local breweries, as Tap That is a distributor. Finally, you owe it to yourself, Travis and Kelly to visit their tap room. It's a great, relaxed environment and they have some awesome artifacts of local brewery history that you might not see elsewhere!!

    Ask the Community - Tap That

    Do they offer any hard kombucha on tap or just beer?

    When the taproom is allowed to reopen, there is mainly beer but also ciders and mead. However, there are lots of options of hard kombucha in cans and bottles that can be opened in the bar or taken to go. As of right now we are only selling to-go.

    Can you create your own 6 pack here?

    Unfortunately not. We have great options in 4 and 6 packs but they are sold together. Cheers!

The…read moreatmosphere was nice, and I'm always willing to try somewhere new, especially when there's live jazz and comedy. That said, I was a little disappointed to find out that even with a reserved table, there's a $30 minimum if you want to stay for the jazz, and a $25 minimum for the comedy. I understand businesses have minimums, but personally, I prefer places where I can come in, relax, listen to the music, and decide what I want to spend without feeling pressured--especially when I'm experiencing a band or comedian for the first time and don't know what to expect. The waitress was okay, although there were a few assumptions made during my visit that I didn't feel were appropriate. I'm glad I checked it out and experienced it for myself. It just probably isn't somewhere I'll return to. I'm looking for more of a laid-back, come-as-you-are kind of spot where I can enjoy the entertainment without feeling obligated to meet a spending minimum. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! At least now I know.

My husband found this place and was interested because of the live music and it being a jazz place. We ubered there which seemed smart because it's street parking and seemed quite limited. There's a $5 cover on Fridays and Saturdays (I think they have live music both days) and we did not have a reservation. I think if you have a reservation you can get a table in their back area. We were up front with the band. It's a pretty small place, maybe about 5 or 6 high top tables in the front, the bar toward the back, and that back room which we didn't look in. We cozied up until someone left a high top and then hung out there. We ordered some drinks that were specials for the night and some that were regularly on the menu. We had a great time! Drinks were good, I think also reasonably priced. Music went from 7pm to 10pm and we got there around 7:30 and it was good and busy! This definitely feels like a family joint, their mascot is their little chihuahua Wishbone and I love that so much. Owners were fun, kept things going while the band was on break, just overall a really good time. I'm not much of a drinker so I can't speak to the types of liquor, but I definitely was feeling my drinks and couldn't finish my 3rd. If we lived here I think this would become a regular spot for us. What a fun time!

That said, after multiple visits, the service has consistently been the weak point. It can be slow and doesn't quite match the upscale experience or price point you'd expect from a rooftop like this. At these prices, I'd expect a level of service closer to what you'd receive at a high-end resort, and unfortunately it hasn't been there. You're definitely paying a premium for the location and view. I'd still recommend checking it out, especially for drinks, sunset, or a date night, but keep your expectations realistic when it comes to service and value.

It's beautiful at the top, we didn't really have a great view from our seats - but it also seemed like if you are a larger group there isn't too many options.

The main area seemed to be more shaded than the pool area, so half our group was in the sun and the other half were shaded, thankfully there was a breeze! We specifically went for the happy hour drinks and they were delicious!!! Service was good - our waitress was friendly. I will recommend this place to anyone visiting the area on the future!

I have never heard of this brewery, although I don't get up to Oceanside very often, but it's definitely a place I wouldn't mind coming back to again. It's located just South of the 76 off a quiet little street and is a relatively small place, but all the beers I tried tasted great and the owner Tomas seems like a very personable guy who takes pride in his business. I don't recall offhand how many beers they have on tap, but I want to say it was at least 18 or 20 beers. They also have recommended mixed beers too. For instance, Tomas mixed one of their IPA's with one of their orange flavored beers and it was pretty good. The ambiance here is nice and I could see it being a place to take a date, or for group settings like we were in on Saturday. It seems like they have a following of regular patrons too which I always like to see at bars and breweries. All in all a great place with a genuinely nice owner who takes pride in his business and what he does. Would recommend and hope to make it up here again sometime.
