Excellent craft beer selection. The "there and back again" wild American Ale is outstanding,and the cocktails sound delicious,although I can't break away from the beers to try them. The food however is ok. Regular bar fare ,which takes an extraordinarily long time to arrive at the table/bar. Bartender didn't tell us the specials, but I overheard them being told to the guys next to us. The brewery is fabulous-restaurant needs improvement. read more

Went to Tapped for dinner and the place couldn't have been better. Delicious wings and great beers on tap. The fish tacos were top notch as well. Paul the manager was very helpful and friendly. He went above and beyond to make sure the trip was well worth it. read more

Tapped has great food, great beer, and several delicious vegan options. The beet burger is very filling, and the vegan tacos are pretty tasty, too! read more

We went a few times over the summer. It's really nice and fun. Everyone was nice for the exception of one bartender downstairs he was very rude and cold towards my husband and I when we went. Luckily we never got him again. The food isn't to brag about. we never go for food. We actually eat before go. But the beer and hospitality is amazing that's why they are getting a 4 read more

Went last night with friends and sat at the bar. Our bar tender Paul suggested Mango Habanero and Teriyaki. We all thought they were the best wings we ever had. Thank you Paul for the suggestion Nd great service. We also had coconut shrimp and Quesadillas. Didn't realize it was trivia night which we had a good time playing. We will be ack!!!! read more

Love spending time at Tapped. Whether listening to live music, playing trivia or just enjoying a girls' night out, Tapped is always right for the occasion! read more

Great customer service but food was a bit iffy. And it can definitely get pound on Friday nights. Could barely hear the person next to you.

Beer was great. We will be back! Had sliders, fried pickles, wings and fried Brussel sprouts! Yummy! I'll post the menu as it's not shown anywhere on Yelp or the website. read more

Tapped - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Middletown, New York

It's a very friendly environment. You almost forget that your in the worst part of Middletown. There are a lot of food and drink options. Both the food and drinks are on the pricey side. But a place worth coming to at least once. read more

SO COOL.. would give 3 1/2 if I could. The beers are incredible and the waitstaff is super friendly. I wish the food was a tad bit better! It's not that the food is terrible but compared to the ambiance, staff, and beer it doesn't quite live up. Everyone should take a chance to check it out no doubt! read more

Had an amazing time at tapped's Brunch Kevin help make my birthday so much fun food was great we'll be back soon for sure

Beer menu needs a little more variety than just IPA s , went last Friday menu looked good but beer choices were limited and the music too loud for the venue. We left without trying anything read more

Alright so here's my review. The ambiance was great the exposed brick and Edison lights really give the bar a rustic feel very comfortable. There's two levels the lower level or by the entrance where they have the growler station and a bar/tap area really friendly staff and great beer. Second level is a seating area and bar area with two large tvs and a open window view of their brewing area. So this was our first time here and yes being 5/5 they had a waiting list which was 1hr..... after our long 1hr wait we got seated at the middle table with these high chairs ( being a big guy these were uncomfortable for me ) after asking to be moved to another table the hostess sat someone else there..... finally we get sat at another table and we ask the server how many wings come with the order she says a dozen when thy arrive it was only 8... I mean as a server they should know the quantity of food.... so the conclusion.... the good: great food,great beer, great ambiance, friendly service! The bad: the wait,lack of menu knowledge, and a little pricy. I will be back maybe on a slower night! read more

This brewery is great! My friend and I had visited last night for the first time and we had a wonderful experience!! The ambience was lovely, the beer was great, and the staff was wonderful! We will definitely be visiting again!! read more

The food was delicious and it had a great beer selection. I give it 4 stars because the food selection for children was limited. I got sliders and gave 1 with some of my of my fries to my 5 year old. Service was good and the food came out hot. Allergy friendly - don't use peanut oil.The pretzels are very yummy. read more

Awesome brewery and food! After reading some mixed reviews about the service and how crowded it gets on the weekend, I wanted to get there early. Places opens at 1130 and by 12 me and my boyfriend had no problem finding a seat at the bar. There's two floors, the main level is where you get your growler cards and have them filled with a few tables to sit. They open up the front when it's nice so you can sit outside but it's not exactly that scenic being right across from a police station. Upstairs is a little bigger with more seating and another bar. The staff is very helpful and friendly and let us try anything before we ordered. I'm a big sour fan so I definitely appreciated the "there and back again". Great taste and 6% too which is pretty high for a sour. They had a lot of nice IPA and DIPA selections. The ones that really stood out were the "vulgar display of flowers" and the "fractal citra" . The only bottles they had for sale when I went the first time was the farmhouse ale "Casey" which I really liked as it had a nice tart taste. The second time we went they didn't have any bottles for sale only growler fills which was a little disappointing. The food is surprising pretty good! First time we ordered pretzel bites and sliders, both delicious and the dipping sauces were on point. The second time we went I ordered the black bean hummus dip and my boyfriend got the poutine fries. Both were really tasty. The only problem we had with the food was the chicken sandwich we ordered to share. At first the food runner bought the sandwich we ordered out to another person at the bar by accident. I knew it because I asked for extra condiments on the side that didn't even come with it which were on the plate. No big deal, they apologized and said another would be out shortly. When they brought it out the chicken tasted microwaved and rubbery, just terrible. I would have knocked off a star for that but to be honest, it is a brewery and the beers are phenomenal. It's hard to find a good brewery that also serves food so aside from the one bad sandwich, the rest of the food was great! I hope the more established this place gets the more bottles they'll have to sell. If I lived in the area I'd be here getting my growlers filled every week. read more

For their beer I would give them six stars if I could: easily among the best in the region. For their restaurant I would give two stars: the first time we ate there a few weeks ago I had one of the best veggie burgers I've ever had, and despite a large crowd, the service was prompt and courteous. Today the crowd was no bigger than before, but the service was appallingly bad, the veggie burgers barely edible and the fries were clearly the dregs from a larger batch. Beware poor quality control: I'd say it's a gamble if you want food, but if your main interest is beer you will be very satisfied. read more

The sour is FANTASTIC. Excellent selection of craft brews. We haven't had the food yet but am very excited to try since I've heard they have expanded their kitchen. 9/10 for beer flavors. read more

Great drink specials even on a Friday night. The atmosphere was pretty good. The DJ was also very good.

Had an awesome first trip to Equilibrium on Saturday. Was expecting it to be jam packed, but it was super comfortable (maybe partly because we did an early 5 pm dinner and partly because of the can release in the morning). Beer was superb, had all three in their Hoptimization series and feel they are getting better and better. 3 was definitely my favorite, but it was still nice to leave with a growler of 1. Food and service were both excellent as well, nice to see the menu is no afterthought here. Really looking forward to going back sometime. read more

My family and I went to Equilibrium yesterday for my dad's birthday and it was excellent. We all shared different appetizer including: fried pickles, wings (Thai chili and garlic honey), poutine, nachos, and brussel sprouts! Everything was very delicious and unique. As far as beer goes, they have something for everyone. We got a flight of beer for $10 and each one was better than the last. We can't wait to go back again! read more

We went with a large group for dinner and drinks on a Saturday night and were very impressed. Servers were friendly and attentive, and our food came out pretty quickly and correctly, impressive given how large our party was. I ordered a burger, it was very good and fresh. I'm not a beer drinker but most of my party was and I heard a lot of positive comments about the beers, especially Photon (hope I spelled that correctly). It's a bit pricey to both eat and drink there but the atmosphere is great, we'll definitely go back. read more

Great food, great drinks, and great atmosphere! My favorite drink is the "Farmer's Mule", it is sooo good! The fried brussel sprouts and veggie burger are my faves, they are delicious! Trivia night is really fun, and the live music is always awesome! Try to go when Paul is working, he is the best! read more

The Poutine was AMAZING as were the Brussel Sprouts and Irish Nachos! Beer was Excellent!! Our server was well versed in there products and had an amazing personality. We will be back! read more

Great place. Will definitely be back. Food was very yummy with good options and pricing. Bartender was very courteous and informative. Space was intimate and modern(better than Clemson's). The only gripe was that the bartender was running around delivering everyone's order while patrons at the bar were left hanging. The place is to big for that - let the bartender tend the bar... then you get 5 stars!!! read more

We went to Tapped Saturday 1/27/18 for my birthday dinner. They had a Great Band called Two Much on ... they were the reason we went there. Cheryl is a good friend and Great Singer :) I have to say the food was so good...the friend pickles you have to try and we had a Wonderful time. The service was impeccable by our server Brittany and we will definitely go back soon!!! read more

I've been to Tapped twice on the way down to weddings in NJ and NY and both times have been fantastic. The food has been great. In particular the Fried Pickles and burgers. Great beer on tap and the servers are wonderful. We've had great experiences here and will continue to take the long way around to go back whenever our travels take us in the area. read more

Just happened to be passing through and found this gem of a place Great atomosphere to go with the wonderful tasting fish tacos. Bartender was very helpful in assisting us in our selection of beer Will definitely find my way back here read more

I feel like Tapped has brought new life back to downtown. The drinks are great (I love the seasonal cocktails!) And the food is delicious. We generally have our two young children with us and have met other young families whilst enjoying our afternoon there. We're looking forward to getting out on a date night and making it to one of the jam sessions or comedy nights! read more

LOVE the atmosphere, really a cool place to hang out. We came with two kids and Jess our server was super sweet with them. I was really excited about eating here, and I would be so happy to give 5 stars with a couple of improvements. I ordered the cod fish tacos. The presentation was very nice, but the cod was missing flavor! I think it's known that cod is a bland fish and seasoning is everything. I was pretty disappointed, it seemed like I was supposed to rely on the cilantro, toppings, and squeeze of lemon for flavor. I think if the cod was seasoned well, it would have been delicious. We also ordered the nachos and cheese with shredded chicken, but again, I feel like the chicken was also under-seasoned. I'm not picky. The truffle fries were ON POINT. However the first plate sent out to us was sent minus any cheese and parsley topping--which we didn't know was missing until we ordered a second plate because it was so delicious. All in all, I would LOVE to give a 5+ if the food experience was just as amazing as the atmosphere. I would go back for dinner if I knew the food was better. I would def go back and recommend simply for atmosphere and beer tasting. read more

Atmosphere and music - perfect. I ordered fish tacos and there was barely any fish on them. Maybe they were running out of fish? Beer good. Food needs work. read more

Love it! Great atmosphere , service , and prices. I'll eat the Brussel sprouts, but my only complaint is that there are no Gluten Free options. Can't wait to continue coming back! read more

Went on a Saturday afternoon with the wife. The place is really nice, not too crowded. Food was great, had the black bean hummus, sliders and fish tacos. My only complaint is the lack of beer variety (only ale or ipa). read more

The place itself is awesome. The beer is fantastic and the restaurant is cool. The wings are phenomenal as well. Only qualm with the place is the big guy behind the bar in the taproom is extremely rude. read more

So far so good! Great to see that they actually put a couple of vegan options on the menu!!!

Just went to brunch here with some friends. The bottomless mimosas weren't really bottomless-the server did not spend much time checking up on us. We waited an hour for our food even though we were the first people in the place. The food came out cold. My friends got the Nutella French toast and it looked like a cold loaf of bread(because it was)- barely any Nutella in it. The Eggs Benedict tasted really good, but who likes cold eggs? Our server didn't ask us how our meal was. Overall not good. Only coming back for the beer. read more

One of the worst experiences I have had at any restaurant in the Middleton area. Arrived right at opening with a group of 6 for Sunday brunch. We were super excited about their St Pats days specials. No assigned wait staff for each table so completely disorganized. Coffee came out one at a time and took an hour. Literally, an hour for coffee. We spoke to 3 different wait staff and no one actually apologized, they instead told us that everyone arrived at once and it was a new coffee maker. We asked for a manager and we were told she was busy but will stop by our table soon. After waiting another 10 minutes for the manager we just stood up and walked out. After over an hour with no food. There also was no hostess or bartender. Three waitresses were juggling the entire floor plus everything else. Will never return. read more

I had my bridal shower at Tapped on 7/20/19 and everything was phenomenal! Ed was great to work with and was able to give us exactly what we needed. Paul was also amazing and met with us in person beforehand to go over all of the details and make sure everything was perfect for the day. Our bartenders, Angel and Tara, always made sure everyone had a drink and didn't let plates pile up - everything flowed beautifully. My guests loved the food and the drinks and everyone had an amazing time. I would absolutely recommend Tapped to anyone who's looking for a venue to host a private event. read more

I will go back and up date my review - reason being I wanted to give them a 5 but I can't because I did not eat on my first visit so I can't speak on the food. Otherwise I have nothing but good things to say about this brewery. I went on a can/bottle release day and everything was great. No line at all for cans/bottles - in/out in 5 minutes. Stopped in the tasting room for a few pours and the beers are outstanding. Friendly staff and welcoming vibe. I will be back. Cheers read more
