I've been here a couple times now. Each time, I feel like I form a different opinion about the place. The first time I came, I honestly wasn't impressed by this place. It was during the first month that I moved to Middletown and I think I came on a weekday evening and it was pretty boring lol. And the beer prices were pretty average, so nothing really to pull me back here. I came back again because some friends invited me for some live music and I had a great time that night. I'm not sure if the great time was created by my friends who are actually dancing and setting in a great mood in the place or bc of the live music and the location. Probably the former but I'll give them credit. I do like that they have craft beers available and their draft options do rotate. I am not sure if they have a happy hour but it would be great if they had some daily specials too for those of us that work late lol. I'm still getting used to Middletown and it's quietness but this far is not a bad choice for a suburban "city ". If you're looking for a really chill setting just to grab a beer, this place will do. If you're looking for having a good time and be entertained, not sure if you would get that here read more

great food! great people! The wings are incredible, staff is extremely welcoming and kind.

I was please you surprised to finally find a brewery that actually has good food. The pulled pork was so tender it melts in your mouth and you can taste that shaved ribeye in the cheesesteak sandwich. The atmosphere is great the staff are attentive. This is my new go to spot for lunch... read more

Tapped - Good times!!! Enjoyed brunch on Saturday!! The steak and eggs were very good!! Definately going back again!!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Middletown, New York

Service and drinks were 5 stars. Food was maybe a 3. The condiments really needed some work. I went for a private party on Friday and the hosts picked up the apps. Some of them were decent but not great. The pretzel was tasty but the cheese was gross and the mustard was so watery and gross. The buffalo wings were far too spicy and the garlic and parmesan ones didn't have much flavor. Cool place though. I'd give it another try. read more

What a great hidden gem! We were traveling back to Pittsburgh from Maine and found Tapped on a Yelp search. We both had the BEST smash burger ever! Everything about it was just what a good smash burger should be. The cheese was perfectly melted the burgers were juicy but not overly greasy and the onion rings on the side were superb! I totally forgot to snap some pictures, but take my word for it! The bartender, Paul, was very friendly and we had a great conversation which made the experience all the more enjoyable. read more

Cheesesteak and Buddha bowl were both great. Tap list was a little small with only about 8 taps, but the beer I had was good. Cozy environment with many locals. read more

Went here for weekend brunch. We went at 11 and it was quiet at first (except for the music). Paul, our waiter, was attentive, funny, and accommodating. I got the rice bowl, which was alright, and the waffles, which tasted like cake. I liked that. My boyfriend got the steak and eggs with potatoes, all of which he said needed seasoning. But the steak was cooked just right. He also got the breakfast burrito, b which was his favorite. The mimosas were the highlight. Perfection. Paul made my boyfriend a long island iced tea, which was the best I've ever had. Good job Paul! I'd go back just for the mimosas and Paul, honestly. Other customers came and sat in the booth next to ours and were obnoxiously loud. We had to take our food to go and leave cuz their voices were like nails on a chalkboard. Other than that, I had a nice time. Addendum: I didn't know you were the manager, Paul! My bad! You're a great waiter too! read more

You deserve to order their wings! OMG the best combination of crunchy texture and juicy flavor. We ordered Fried Brussels Sprouts, garlic parmesan, and thai chili wings. The Sprouts were evenly seasoned similar to roast/more than over breaded. They were delicious as leftovers, too! More than the delicious food, The service and hospitality we received from Harrison and Paul made our dining experience hilarious and energizing. We had a blast! read more

I've been here three times. Every meal has been very good. The beer selection is good. I really liked the raspberry beer that they had on tap late July. I recommend going whether you like beer or not. read more

This is a half review only because we left before we could get service. Came here on a Saturday evening and grabbed a seat with my girlfriend. The place is a nice bi-level space with two bars. Parking lot across the street that is convenient. This a half review because we waited a good 10-15 minutes in which no one came to greet us or take our order. We later moved to another table where a bus boy came to clean the table. We waited about 5 more minutes with no luck. From what we could see there were a couple of servers but they were sitting. The place was not crowded and the evening band was setting up. I am not really sure what happened here but we ended up leaving. We were looking forward to this place as it was our first time here and was looking forward to having dinner. I wish them the best. read more

Tapped - a bar with lights on the wall - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Middletown, New York

Missed one of our orders. Our waitress drank on the job, I found it quite honestly unprofessional. I wouldn't plan on returning.

Excellent drinks and beers on tap! Food was delicious and we were surprised with drag bingo!!

We stepped off of the main drag and ventured to Henry St for a new experience. We were rewarded with great food, great staff and wonderful time. Thanks Paul, we'll be back! read more

"Holy Tapped Out & Confused Batman!" Am I at Tapped or Equilibrium?? I will say visiting this place was SO confusing. You'd think it was as simple as driving up to the front door and simply walking in. Well when I got there I saw a sign that pointed toward the back of the building for the "Taproom" so if that's a completely different thing then the name Tapped is confusing because I thought the entrance was around back. I decided to keep it simple and just walk in the front door presented before me and presto I was inside. Entrance and identity confusion aside I visited on a VERY quiet evening with maybe 3-5 patrons inside at best. I really wanted to visit when they had an event but I really wanted to get out for a date night and it turned out to be a relaxing evening. Staff is great and the food is really good! I got some pulled pork in the form of sliders along with house fries and experimented with a random beer that wasn't exactly my cup of tea but heck I was being adventurous. My date got some fish and chips which she throughly enjoyed. Really nice spot to eat and I'd love to return on an event night which they seem to do often. read more

Great beer, Great food and excellent service from Paul , our server. Will definitely be back read more

Stopped by on Sunday February 27th for brunch. The decor inside is really cool and rustic. The service was really good and attentive. We sat down and ordered endless mimosas for $12.00 dollars, I think that is a great deal. The waitress was very attentive to refilling our glasses. Like I said really good service. The brunch menu had really appeasing options, I ordered the Asian rice with eggs. Presentation was ok, but I'd did not have a lot of flavor. My wife ordered the bourbon eggs Benedict. She was ok with the choice. Overall it was a good time, I would go back to try a different option in the menu. read more

I used Tapped for my son's graduate degree graduation celebration. The manager, Paul was very agreeable and willing to do whatever I wanted to do for the celebration. Tapped was very reasonably priced especially compared to some of these other venues (the new brewery in Middletown called Aspire was outrageously priced just for the use of their space). The food was excellent. I only ordered appetizers and had a cash bar, but Paul was amenable to putting all of the apps on a tray together for me so people could serve themselves. Even when it was time for our bartender to play in the live band they were having that night at 830pm, they offered to have another bartender serve us at the bar downstairs. They did not give us a time limit and allowed us to hang out as long as we wanted in the downstairs space. I would absolutely use tapped again for an event! I was very pleased with the whole experience! Thanks so much Paul for your excellent service and agreeable and laid back demeanor! read more

So I saw a bad review on this place, and I can only think that whoever came and left that review is not the type of person that likes home town bars/taverns or just isn't used to places that aren't considered "fine dining". I've been coming to Tapped since the place opened and I can tell you that if you want a local bar with good food and good beer on tap you're gonna find a great place. Not only that, they always have live entertainment. Not to mention the manager, Paul, is ALWAYS there, and ALWAYS makes sure everyone is happy and if they aren't he ALWAYS makes it right. Tapped is a great place, good food, and great beer. Check it out. read more

Tapped - Tuesday half off wings! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Middletown, New York

Definitely has become on of my favorite places. Only been here twice. The first time wasn't busy at all and I had some amazing food! I was there yesterday for brunch and luckily got there just in time. I got endless mimosas and the rice bowl. The only thing was I don't think there was the filipino banana sauce. Delicious either way. The meal was not expensive at all. Before tip my meal was $21.36. For $10 you can get endless mimosas. (Sunday's during brunch 11:30-2:30) Edit: They have amazing fried pickles! read more

Great people, excellent food. My wife said, "Best hamburger I've ever had!" And the music track was terrific. Good food, good fun - go!

I don't even know how to begin this review other than saying it was AWESOME. My boyfriend and I were looking for a good brunch spot, since we're from NYC and we have a thing for brunch. We couldn't find anything, until we went on FB and started looking for places. We called to ask if brunch was being served, put our names down, and drove over. It was PACKED when we arrived, but our table was reserved for us. (Already 5 star service). We ordered 3 items (Nutella french toast, omelette, and the brunch flatbread). The food was Incredible!!! We ordered too much food, so we had to take it home. The mimosas we ordered were on the juice heavy side, but still really good! Overall, this was a great experience and I would highly recommend it. read more

I live in Middletown ny. A town on the rise. There are a few corporate bars and restaurants around here. You can find these places in any town or city. Dining at those places is just boring, right? Tapped is a great place near the heart of Middletown. It's walking distance from where I live on Main Street. The wings are amazing, the best I have had in this area! Everything is fresh. The bar tender, staff and decor are hip and fun. They have several delicious beer choices including hard cider. I have made a pledge to go here more often. It's truly a jewel read more

Wowwwww, absolutely an amazing way to spend a Saturday night out. Take advantage of their happy hour (everyday from 3-6 PM), prices on wings and cocktail drinks. The appetizers were perfection (quesadillas, 1/2 price wings, pretzel with cheese and bacon sauce). The service was great!! Both waiters were attentive and were dual language. Great ambience, food, drinks, service. What else could you ask for?? If you're in Middletown, NY, check out Tapped! read more

The food was great and the portion sizes were large. We love beer and didn't see anything on their tap list that interested us sadly. They are right next door to Equilibrium, which you'd think would mean they would have a huge selection of their beers available, but they didn't have a one. The beer selection was very disappointing. We did brunch at 11:30 on a Sunday morning. We both had the breakfast burrito. read more

Decent food, the service is a tad bit slow on weekends, Look a their schedule to see what bands are playing!

Highly recommend for hosting a party. My experience with planning a friend's party with Paul and the Tapped team was top notch. We had a small group and there was zero hesitation with reserving an area for our group to get together. Paul was super responsive and helpful in helping us plan the event and was flexible with our requests. And while I know he might not always be able to do it, he even was quick to jump in to help me decorate. Not expected or required, but definitely appreciated! Wait staff during the party was on top of it! Would definitely recommend Tapped for a party venue in the future. read more

Nice tap house that carries a good assortment of craft brews from local areas. Despite the fact that it shares the same building, it is a separate business from the brewery next door. Started talking to the friendly bartender and found out nice tidbits on all the local breweries nearby. A few of them will definitely be on the visit list over the next few months. Equilibrium is right next door, so they had MC^2 on tap, which was awesome. First tried this DIPA in the city and have been hooked. It's got this incredibly mango pineapple chew to it that separates it out from the pack. They actually rotate the taps every so often, so it's a good idea to call ahead if you're gunning for a specific brew. Order the poutine and it was pretty decent. Fries were crispy and the gravy was pretty solid. Good experience overall. read more

For this journey, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. After looking for somewhere to go, I stumbled upon Tapped. Parking is across the street which is very convenient and on a quiet block. Upon going in, it's such a lovely ambiance. A very rustic theme with music that goes well. Of course, with COVID still being a thing, everyone was social distancing and respecting everyone's face. Now! To the Good Part! The food?! Amazing!! Ordered the chicken wings which were not soggy, and very crunchy which was extremely tasty. The falafel wrap was also very good as-well along with the fish and chips. Finally, the pulled pork sandwich was to die for, along with the final of the tres leches and lava cake. Everything was so good, came out at a good time, and the servers were very sweet. If you have time to stop here, 100% stop you will not regret it. read more

Short review: I FEEL DUPED! If more info is need please proceed.... As an avid beer taster and reviwer I wanted to taste Equilibrium beers as I have heard from many that they are awesome! So I took the trip to Middletown NY yesterday, December 2 to find them and sadly I did not. I found the building but not the beers. What I found was a taproom/restaurant that only had 1 of Equilibrium brewery beers, MC2 which was delicious, but needless to say I was disappointed because I thought I was in the Equilibrium Brewrey tasting/tap room which I later found out I was not. Like when I was home, so too late! At no time during this visit was I told this is NOT a part of Equilibrium Brewery! The information on Yelp and Google has Equilibrium as one in the same as "Tapped". Unfortunately "Tapped" does not live up to the great reputation Equilibrium has. In short it kinda stunk. The chili tasted like Wendy's and was lukewarm and the seared ahi tuna was lacking any flavor and depended on a weird spicy compote to make it better. As for the beers, I got a tasting. That consists of 4 beers for 11 dollars, that's kinda steep in my book for beers I can get at my local store. Also beside MC2 all the beers tasted the same....BORING. 2 stars are for the service which was fine and the clean bathrooms. In hindsight I wish I had asked more questions, as I saw many people turn around and leave without ordering any food or tasting any beers. After leaving "Tapped" I met up with several other people at an other nearby brewery who had this same confusion, disappointment with their visit to Equilibrium. "TAPPED" IS NOT EQUILIBRIUM BREWERY!!! It seems that Equilibrium Brewery no longer has a Yelp page of its own but is rolled in as the "Tapped" page which leads to a lot of confused customers. Only after going on Yelp to leave a negative review for Equilibrium did I realize that this is not the same place! Another reviewer who also visited on December 2nd stated that in his review. Hopefully this review will help others make an informed decision before wasting time and money here. read more

Food, service, and atmosphere are wonderful. Paul is fantastic and welcoming. Also, Thanks to Shawn Batewell's craftsmanship and know how, the bartenders are able to keep bar utensils and glasses clean using the bar sinks, oven doors open and close flawlessly, the dishwasher no longer leaks, artists and bands are able to play on a beautiful stage, and patrons can enjoy dart boards that are perfectly hung within regulation. All around great place. read more
