    Boss
    Leah M.

    The restaurant is located in a residential neighborhood with private parking lot. There aren't many spaces but there is street parking. There is an entrance near the parking lot and one in "front". Either entrance you will immediately see the host. I was immediately greeted and seated. I think you should ask if the customer prefers pub or table seats. I'm 5-3 and I find pub style seats uncomfortable. I was lead to pub but I asked for a table and was easily accommodated. The restaurant bar is a large open space, you can see practically everything. The wood burning stove and a large bar. My server was efficient not memorable. The one moment that turned me off? I asked for a cocktail straw he handed to me with his bare hands. Please use a napkin for unwrapped straw etc!! There is a decent amount of food choices but I love pizza. I must say the Boss Pizza is excellent and the deviled eggs different in a good way. I got Pierogies to go to for a Pierogi snob; they LOVED THEM!! Would I go again? Yep and bring some friends when they have live music!

    Shrimp Po Boy

    My family and I visited for the first time and always talk about how we need to return ASAP! The staff, food and drinks, and the ambiance were all excellent. Although the patio windows were not open, it still felt like you were outside with the views that were given. The patio is spacious and has beautiful gas fires on some of the tables. This is a great place for large groups! Michael was our server; he was very kind, patient, and friendly. The drinks were fun to choose from and he helped us decide on some good ones (Ten7 Double Scoop Milky Milky Shakey Shakey Peach, Top of the Hill, and Axe & Arrow Sour to the People)! For food, the Shrimp Po Boy is still a sandwich that I often think about, absolutely delicious! The Crab Cake and the Chicken Pot Pie were scrumptious as well! There is plenty of street parking along with a free private parking lot. Be careful crossing the street because unfortunately, many people do not stop for pedestrians!

    Soft Pretzels with Beer Cheese and Mustard

    Loved sitting on the patio which gave a feeling of open air while still being under cover from the sun. We ordered the pretzels and beer cheese to start which were very good! Hubby tried the Boss Pizza which has pepperoni, meatballs, red peppers, and red onions which he enjoyed. I had the 23 Burger and added an egg on top. The egg on top of the savory burger and crispy onions was so good! The fries weren't my favorite in terms of of texture (stringy) but I did enjoy how they were seasoned with parmesan and herbs. We also had the dragon fruit mango sour beer that was on tap which was a refreshing addition. Looking forward to venturing back again with friends in the future!

    I visited here with my two cousins for dinner on a Saturday around 7 pm (we had reservations). It wasn't too busy when we arrived and we were seated immediately. I loved the open air feel of the giant patio room with giant TVs everywhere. I felt like I was sitting in a huge garage with windows everywhere! We ordered two apps: Cheesesteak Egg Rolls with spicy ketchup, which were really good-perfectly cooked, crispy, with a good amount of steak and cheese (and some onion), The spicy ketchup was similar to siracha sauce and I added some nice heat to the eggrolls. We also ordered the buffalo chicken dip, which was equally as good (when we finally got it). Entrees were the 15 pc wings, which were also pretty tasty. They came with a sticky sweet Thai chili sauce that coated every wing. My French Dip was just ok. I wasn't super impressed and the Au Jus was SUPER salty. My rating would have been higher but service kinda sucked. We ordered two apps--Only one was brought out (by a different person) and we were done eating the first one and wondering where the second one was. We couldn't find our server anywhere--he didn't come over to make sure we got our food or to see how it was. My cousin had to physically go look for him to tell him. Then it was brought out with the rest of the food, which is one of our pet peeves. We also had to flag him down for refills on drinks.

    I had the opportunity to checkout Taphouse 23 today for brunch with friends! I have been there many times in the past, but I haven't been since COVID began..but glad we got the chance to give it a shot again! I enjoy the openness of Taphouse 23...it was a beautiful day out and the windows were open ...it helped with the patrons comfortability level! The waitstaff were friendly and prompt and this helped with the extra star in my updated review! The food continues to be consistently good! Today, I had the Pork Belly as an appetizer and the Mussels for my main course! Great decisions by me I must say..both were flavorful! There are a good variety of cocktails and beer choices to compliment most people's tastes! I am going to keep Taphouse 23 as a cool spot out in Bridgeport!

    Taphouse 23 has a very nice atmosphere with the option of a nicer quieter sit down dinner in the main restaurant or more of a relaxed sport bar vibe in the patio. The menu is nicely refined to a single page and they highlight their signatures which I would recommend. Food was enjoyable, but I wasn't a huge fan of the pretzels. They were under staffed the night we went so service was a little slow because our waitress was also bartending.

    Nice chill patio bar. Foods was great and nice walls that opened to be either inside on cold days or open for a nice breeze.

    Last night was my first time there. I would come again. our server made us this one cocktail that has was really good. I would come here for a date night or to catch up with the girls. the atmosphere was comfortable and it wasn't loud, making conversation easy to hold. I should have taken a picture of our food. But I did take a picture of our drinks.

    The selection for food is pretty limited,they got a bigger drink menu! No complaints for the food though,they looked and tasted nice. The environment is what I like about the place!they got 7 TV so you can be sure to watch ur favorite channel and they also lit up the fire at 7 made the place look even nicer. Love it!

    Table and expensive $16 (ridiculous) Cosmo and it sucked.

I went with the meatloaf sandwich. It was good, but the BBQ sauce was a bit sweet for my liking. Still a creative and enjoyable sandwich. We also got a poke bowl, which was very fresh. I'd recommend getting the dressing on the side as that could overpower some of the aspects of the bowl, but no other modifications needed. I've heard this place can get busy and is a bit of a dive bar. Given its location, I am sure it can get busy so I would plan ahead if you want to eat. As for dive bar, not sure I'd call it that but if I did it would more bit a complement. I say give Berwyn Tavern a go if you are in the area.

While most of the patrons here stop by to watch a game while enjoying a glass of beer, and the interior is quite small. However, it's a nice local spot to visit and you can call in to get take-out or order online via DoorDash or Uber eats. Of note, if you dine on or call to order, they are a cash-only on Mondays and Tuesdays. There is a small parking lot next to the bar, so you don't have to go around the neighborhood looking for parking. I haven't stayed around to dine in, but it has a very traditional dive bar vibe. So if you're looking for something simple, this seems like a good place for that.

I knew that was not right so I asked. She said "yes - white pizza". I said "no" and restated the correct order. She spoke to a gentleman and he came and said "we can make a new one but it will take 15-17 minutes". I said "ok - fine". As I sat and waited, no one spoke to me or offered me an apology. When I was told the pizza was ready, the server verified I was a large white seafood light on the spice. I answered"yes. thank you. anything else?" she said "did you order anything else"? I said "no, but I was hoping for an apology and perhaps an offer of anything for the mistake and inconvenience". She said nothing. The guy behind the counter that spoke to me earlier asked her to verify it was the correct pizza as there was a second box on the counter and she confirmed. As I was walking out, I looked at him and asked "no apology? no offer to discount? no free garlic bread? anything?" He said "what do you want?" I said "I shouldn't have to ask." and walked out. All he said was "OK. Have a good night". I have been ordering this pizza from you for over 20 years, especially during Lent, (I live around the corner) and this was the first time I had an issue. But to be dismissed the way I was for what clearly was your mistake and there was no attempt to smooth it over and make it right was extremely disappointing. You should have done better and I SHOULD NOT have to tell you that! Thank you for listening, That was 4 weeks ago and still nothing.
