I'm not sure Yelp will give me enough space to really explain how great this place is, on so many different levels. Let's start with the beer selection -- out of this world. Verified Untappd venue (iykyk), with what seems like endless taps and an even more impressive selection of cans/bottles. Bartenders are pretty damn knowledgeable about the product as well, which as a beer nerd is perfect. The food is fantastic. From appetizers (the fried vegetables are heaven) to entrees, it's the perfect amalgamation of classic bar food and Indian cuisine. Today when I was in I had the Taphouse (Lamb) Burger with fries and a side of their Makhani sauce (Pic attached). If a place has a lamb burger it's my immediate go to every time, and I have to say Taphouse has the best I've ever had. The lamb was cooked and seasoned perfectly, the vegetables were fresh, and that feta is that perfect accompaniment to round it off. The Makhani sauce is just good on everything. Could drink it. Not kidding. The venue offers a welcoming outdoor area and a semi-private indoor space perfect for events. I've booked Taphouse for both corporate and personal gatherings, and it's the easiest, most reliable spot in the County for hosting by far. Beyond the food and drink, Taphouse, and especially Sunny (the owner) are one of the most community engaged businesses in Southern Maryland. They have put on countless events supporting all types of local organizations, and always work with nonprofits when they need anything. Taphouse and Sunny himself really serve as one of the best ambassadors of St. Mary's County, especially since a large portion of the customers are transient. All in all, 100% a must try if in the area. But be warned, if you do, you will be coming back constantly. read more

Katelyn was amazing! She never made our party feel ignored. The ambiance of the room was welcoming and the advice on the types of beers to try were welcomed. Will definitely be returning. read more

Tap House 1637 - Pubs Near Me - California, Maryland

Probably the best bar in the lexington park/california/hollywood that has a rotating tap. Some decent outside seating as well, but unfortunately right next to three notch, so it can be loud. They have a very easy tab system for paying, which is nice. The food has been hit or miss for me, one time it will be tasty and other times it will be not the best. read more

Second time there. First time having food. Had the Taphouse burger made out of lamb. Excellent. Great selection of good draft beer choices. Service was good. Looks like fun when you can sit outside. read more

Tap House 1637 - Tap Taphouse Burger - Pubs Near Me - California, Maryland

Came out here during a work trip. It's like the only place in town so pretty much everyone comes out here after work. I think they called it the 8+1 venue. My first visit (went twice) I stopped by as I was at the hotel next door. The drinks were plenty and so were the people. I enjoyed my beer and I'll tell you what... whew it can get loud. Like... unreasonably loud. I pulled up a sound level meter out of curiosity because it was so loud and it pegged at about 79dB. Which is almost equivalent to a busy city street... in a small footprint. Nonetheless, after my coworker was done with his workout, we came back for dinner. We happened to be there on a Tuesday and it was Taco Tuesday. $3.00 tacos with the exception of 2. I have to admit... those things were pretty darn tasty. I would totally come back and try a few others as I just couldn't finish them all. Overall, I can see why this place is the local dive for the area. It has good food, drinks and meets the need. Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 4 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 4 Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: maybe patio? read more

Good selection of beers on tap with decent food. The naan pizzas can be a bit cheese forward, but the pakora, samosas, and mahki tacos are always good! Trivia night is very crowded, so come early to get a table read more

A great spot to hang out. There is a fairly large parking lot and it was pretty popular already on a Wednesday afternoon. We sat at the bar and Maggie was great. She gave us some small samplers before we ended up ordering a flight. A good number of beers on tap and she provided plenty of recommendations. The flight comes with 4 beers: Sixpoint Hyper Beam - double IPA but a really good fruity flavor. You can definitely taste the passionfruit and guava. Hofbräu Dunkel - pretty good and easy to drink. I didn't mind drinking this. 3 Floyds Apocalypse Cow - not exactly what I was expecting but still pretty decent. Great Lakes Christmas Ale - generally one of my favorite beers and definitely recommend. We did also try the Oskar Blues Maduro Brown and it was a dark brown Ale and somewhat nutty flavor. We did try the pickles fries which were hot and crispy. Great flavor and not overly salty. read more

On a cold winter night in January in Maryland, Taphouse 1637 was packed for the Bar Comedy USA THE PUB & GRUB COMEDY TOUR from Jeremy Jerdog Danley last night, Saturday January 20, 2925 Taphouse 1637 is not only a great place to watch comedy, it is a great place to eat and drink! Those in the crowd got plenty of each. The featured act was Comedian Rick Allen.. a touring comic based in New York City who wrote for The David Letterman Show and now writes for the famous puppet Madam. I opened the show. Before the began, I was fortunate enough to eat dinner at Taphouse 1637 The Indian food is excellent, as are the drinks. I highly recommend the butter chicken with the garlic naan! One does not generally associate Southern Maryland with excellent Indian food but now is the time to start! Taphouse 1637 is a fine sports bar, but much much...a tribute to Sunny the owner, who works the floor to take care of his guests! The Bar Comedy USA show from Jeremy Jerdog Danley will be back in February and March so head on over to barcomitix.com and get your tickets before the place sells out again! read more

Tap House 1637 - Packed house on a cold winer night tells you it was a great night! - Pubs Near Me - California, Maryland

We've been to the taphouse many times and always have a great experience. Huge beer selection, great variety of martinis and an impressive food menu for a bar. Service is always seamless. On Tuesday's they have taco and margarita specials. Tacos are $3, and are huge. I struggle to finish two. But my favorite thing about the taphouse is all the events, dueling pianos, trivia, drag brunches, etc. there's something for everyone. read more

First time visiting and enjoyed it. Was a networking/group event (active service was appreciated and evident), so the food selection was set .... and was good! The military genre is appreciated and will take time to examine it next visit. Parking is shared with Bollywood, so this may be a challenge for large groups/events. "On the hill" is open and allows you to get your steps in! As noted, Bollywood for dinner (great food in its own right) and over to TH1637 for a nice beverage and catch a game, scores or chat with locals. Best of both worlds! read more

We needed a place to have my son's rehearsal dinner. There were not a lot of options available in the timeframe we needed, and the budget we had decided on. I had never been to the Taphouse (I live in CA), but my son had, and thought that it might work. We are so thankful that we landed here. The private room was the perfect size for our group of 42, and lent itself to the atmosphere we wanted to have for our guests, who ranged from 1 - 88 years old! Our server was fantastic (I wish I can remember her name), and the owner, Sunny, and his crew kept the buffet full! The whole experience put a smile on all our faces. Thank you Sunny, for letting us set-up early, and for giving our event everything we needed to be successful! read more

Good selection of beers on Tap, however it has a full bar and enough variety to keep the after work crowds happy. Menu via QR code. No masks. read more

Great spot and awesome food. Really enjoy their pizzas on Naan bread....fantastic. Also make sure to try the crab dip, it is amazing. Beer selection is always moving and able to get beers to go. read more

Good wings, great beer selection and great place to meet with friends/coworkers! Prices are fair.

Outstanding service by the waitresses during the dueling pianos event. Owner and everyone working there was very attentive to the customers, kept our tables clean, water filled. The taco salad was so yummy and was very filling! read more

Service was great and everything we ordered was delicious. getting inside was a bit tricky. Highly recommend.

I didn't have the food, but the service was good. It was a nice place to have my friends retirement party. Sarah and Sid did a great job sending Luke off! read more

If you visit this place make sure you pay in cash. Their is system messed up in their card transaction process. Paid my bill on Sunday with my debt card, Tuesday it cleared the pending status and was paid, and Wednesday I was charged again. This happened to a couple of people in the group I was with. They claim that this only happens with Navy Fed and PNC and they work normally 99.9% of the time. and it just a hold the bank puts on the card like at a car rental place. Never had happen to anywhere else, just seems scamming to me. The food not bad and the drinks aren't bad either just bring cash so you don't become the 0.01%, because I will not be going back and neither will my group. read more

Great place to hang out with friends or grab drinks after dinner or a movie. The cocktails are some of the best I've had. They're strong, good amount, and very reasonable priced. They have live music on weekends which is always entertaining. I don't really eat here but the one time I did, it took forever to receive my pakora. Overall I would recommend if you're looking for entertainment and great drinks in Southern Maryland. read more

Tap House 1637 - Vegetable pakora - Pubs Near Me - California, Maryland

For a small town with not a lot to do this bar can offer quite a breath of fresh air. Try finding another bar that stays open this late on the weekends? The bartenders are always nice and the staff is more than accommodating. Fried pickles are a delight and their drinks are always nice and strong. When I need a good night out surrounded by good people, I head to tap house. read more

The most horrendous parking lot negates almost everything except the bathrooms. Most doors don't lock, either because lock is missing or just doesn't align. #awful. Many toilets run non stop. In one evening I personally fixed 3 either running nonstop or stuck and needed chain reconnected. Sad state of affairs, fix it!!! read more

Just moved into town from Arlington. Stopped by to watch the Caps game yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere. The owner talked to us and even ran drinks for us while our server was helping another patron. Drink prices weren't bad (little less than DC prices) and the beer selection was phenomenal. Food selection seems to be pretty much basic bar food, but the pickle fries were to die for. Unsure how busy they get, but a pool table would make this a perfect spot. Have to say I've found my new local bar, and I would recommend it to anyone in the local area. read more

I went in there on Saturday night for the 1st time in almost 5 years. I paid for my food/drinks and got charged $43.27 which is correct and watched it leave my bank account. Now Tuesday comes around and I get charged for an additional $31.87 and watch that also leave my bank account which is fraudulent because I have not gone in there since Saturday and now both charges are on my account (1 posted and 1 pending). Be careful using your card at Tap House 1637 because it seems whatever portable payment system they have seems to keep a hold of your card on file and may charge you in the future for someone else tab Or they are doing it intentionally. I have my debit card on me too and its not lost so its not someone having my card using it. I will call and get an explanation later but this seems likely shady Practice. I will update if they fix but I have a feeling there going to tell me to go through my bank and not refund me. read more

They have a wide variety of rotating taps, with the best selection of draught beer in southern MD for sure. Always get the loaded nachos with chicken, and they never disappoint. It's my go to happy hour spot with a great atmosphere and friendly staff that makes you feel at home. read more

I usually eat at the restaurant Bollywood and come here for their beer. Beers on tap are Great. However, staff is horrible bartenders waitress are rude, sometimes the bartenders change beer prices and try to ripe you off. This happened to me once again last night. I didn't care for a beer, didn't drink it and asked if I could trade it out. Bartender still charged me for the beer. I've never been to a bar where the the bartenders are rude and try to cheat you. Plus lighting is so bright for a bar. Work on your staff!! read more

This place is awesome. Brings out the most beautiful women in the area. Classy place awesome patrons. Plus on their big event nights they have an on site DD to get patrons home safe. No other bar in the area does that. read more

My friends and I used to come here pretty often for Trivia Night, which is fantastic. The competition is tough, but the vibe is very friendly. Our waitress was always helpful with beer recommendations, and their food isn't bad, either! read more

The beer selection is better than say, Outback or Cheeseburger but it still isn't as balanced as I had hoped. One token Beligian. No IPA's? Have had all the appetizers. Bacon in a cup was the only one I would order again. Had the Chicken Tilkka (I tihink) and another chicken kabob/ entree. Sooo salty. It's way too loud. (Especially if you accidentally go on karaoke night). Update: they have added some worthwhile appetizers to the menu, like nachos (although the cheese sauce was cold), quesadillas (chicken or lamb) and loaded tater tots (I really thought I would hate them but they were crunchy and good, although very salty) read more

Where do I start, first off hands down the best bar in Southern Maryland. The owner Sunny treats you more as family, then as a customer. I recommend the loaded Nachos with Chicken. I get them everytime I stop in for a few beers. Also the selection of beers is the most I have seen in the area. If you haven't stopped in to the Taphouse 1637 yet, you're truly missing out. read more

So far this is my favorite place to go in the area. Also I consider this place not to be expensive at all. I'm new to the area will be definitely going back. And the best part of all they got a beer bong table. As well as some other games including Jenga. read more

Not too bad. Descent beer selection and the finger foods were pretty good. I think the giant jynga on the patio was the highlight for me personally. Worth another visit for sure. :) read more

The beer selection is great for SOMD and it's always changing. It also has some unique and/or hard to find beers. The food on the other hand is another story. I've had just about everything on the menu and I will not be eating here again unless I am desperate or forced. The food usually comes out cold and takes at least an hour, even on slow days! The décor has slowly been changing for the better since they moved in, so I have hope that the food may as well. read more

Nothing exciting here. On tap beers were nothing special really. Clientele is an odd mix of govt workers/contractors and some locals. No music. Looks more like a conference room someone put some bar stuff in. Needs some character. read more

If you are looking for excellent variety of beers, this is your place! The owner is so devoted to making this bar a meeting place of craft brew lovers. Where else can you get Indian-fusion food and a unique, possibly hard-to-find beer? The Taphouse shares a kitchen with Bollywood Masala and service can occasionally be slow for that reason. However, if you just have another beer, you'll forget all about that! They are always hosting unique events from Ladies' Night to Salsa Lessons. If you want a fun time in a relaxed atmosphere, visit the Taphouse. Always upgrading and improving as they go. Oh, and the bar itself was custom-built for maximum tap use. So go check it out. read more

Great food, amazing cocktails, fantastic staff. Love coming here whenever I am in the area. Get the veggie tacos! You won't regret it.

So disappointed with this bar. Went there for happy hour on a Friday evening and there where only four other people there, which should have been a clue to me. Atmosphere and interior are very dumpy. Honestly the worst pub I have ever entered. Ordered garlic naan which was good. Wings and fish tacos were horrible and both had way too much salt in them. Keep driving by and head someplace else. read more

Having grown up in the area and moved away for the past couple years, I finally forced myself to go here. This is a sorely needed spot for craft beer lovers. The selection isn't the best I have ever had but for the area it is incredible. The food is not traditional Indian fare but rather an Americanized bar menu with the occasional Indian touch. I love that the venue was surprisingly spacious and appreciated the bars tv entertainment (we found ourselves glued to the occasional internet video being played). The owner offered up some of his imported Indian snacks from his personal stash as a kind gesture which we greatly appreciated. I would like to see the place better advertised as I feel it has potential to be a true future hangout spot for a youngish crowd. Will definitely visit again for a few moderately priced beers and some above average bar food. read more

This place is awesome! There is a huge variety of craft beers and they have introduced me to some kinds I have never had before. We recently had a party here and the service was also excellent. I would recommend trying the beer from Right Proper or the Death by Coconut. read more

Beautiful and clean interior. Beautiful outdoor walk/patio. Service was great. Staff was very friendly and professional. This place is exactly what this area needs! Thanks for a great night Taphouse. read more
