Taps & Apps is a sports bar so be prepared for the music to be loud. We went on a Saturday at opening and chose to sit outside. The music wasn't as loud but we went there to talk and catch up. The restaurant opened a couple of minutes late but it didn't bother us. No one other than our group of 4 was waiting. Their menu is quite extensive for a sports bar with brunch specials on weekends. We were told they had awesome burgers so reading the entire menu wasn't going to change my mind. I decided on a bacon cheeseburger and someone order a large basket of fries to share with the group. When the 3 burgers came, we waited for the last order of French toast to be delivered. During the wait, I thought my burger was gonna dry out. Not happy but it was my decision to wait. I try a fry and was blown away! The outside was crispy and inside was nice and fluffy. When I finally cut into my burger it was a perfect medium as ordered. I took a bite and it was sooooo flavorful. The bacon was crispy and the burger juices was flowing. It was one of the BEST burgers I've ever eaten. But I decided to eat only half so I could eat more fries! That night I microwave the burger for 40 seconds and it was still a good meal. Patty still juicy and just warm enough. My wife air fried the fries but it was our first attempt at using it. Didn't come close to what we had at lunch but the fries were still great during the 2 hours we were at the restaurant. Our server did a wonderful job of checking on us during our entire stay. Definitely will go back for another bacon cheeseburger and fries. read more

My girls and I come here pretty often & we all enjoy it. The vibe is different depending on the day. I know for sure that Thursdays are karaoke nights & they usually have live music on Friday nights. On Wednesday night, they have happy hour until 9pm! Pretty great drink & food specials, but we decided we didn't want anything off the happy hour menu. We'll do better next time! We ended up ordering beer-battered shrooms, which was nicely coated & fried to perfection. It was served with a bleu cheese sauce & was absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend as well as order again. We also got the kamoku special flatbread. It was good. I just feel like it was missing a wow factor. It got us full though & that's always good. The bartender was friendly & cracked a bunch of jokes. Nice atmosphere. Good (strong) drinks. Yummy food. They just need some purse hooks for the bar :P read more

Looking for a spot in Mililani or Central area to eat, drink and be merry? Try Taps & Apps in Mililani Mauka. A really great place to gather with a buddy or a group of friends to enjoy bar-style pupus with a selection of craft beers, wines and spirits. The spot has mall parking, but can get a lil'cray cray during pau hana times, and they have indoor and outdoor seating. By the way, outdoor seating is ONLY good when the weather is good! The indoor seating will get you in field of view of one of the many tvs they got mounted high for everyone to see. They have bar stools, benches, and tables to sit at inside, and outside has nice rattan furniture to enjoy the Central side weather. When the weather is good here, can get a lil'chilli so bring a long sleeve just in case you sit outside. Since I don't drink, I can't review much on the drinks except that if I did, I'd picking my top 3 off their selection wall of craft beers! Been here a few times, and I have had a burger and many of their pupus... their pupus are above average in my book of deep-fried heaven snacks to go with drinks... have tried their pupu steak with a sauce on top I can't explain but was cooked to order with onions... was ono. A stuffed mushroom dish that was pretty good, but can't remember what was inside the mushroom :). A mushroom and brie flatbread with arugula on top that was a nice touch from being considered 'bar food' and still be ono! Pork Belly Bao was okay, but my least favs were the Crab Melt and the Sampler! Very typical 'bar-food' that was both kinda oily and if you didn't have alcohol to wash these down, the taste lingered longer than desired. Overall though, like I mentioned earlier above average for 'bar-food.' The flatbread and steak were my highlights and would definitely order those again. Service here is a lil'slow. Understandable, with some many people to service and looks like at times, only got 2 servers helping everyone. Though they do make their rounds and check up regularly to make sure everyone is happy and they put on a smiley face each time they come around. Or if you're really thirsty, jus go straight to the bar! Otherwise, enjoy your time at Taps & Apps, tryout their selections and let us know what you think. Till my next visit, Grind On! Pau! read more

I've enjoyed having a bar in Mililani. The selection on tap is incredible and the food is pretty high quality! I will say it is on the pricier side though. Before entering, be sure to wait for the host to take your temperature and give you a wristband. The servers are always very friendly and helpful. I really do believe the food is worth the price. Rather than chips, the hapa nachos are served on potato skins. They are pretty filling and great to split across the table. The cheesesteak flatbread was alright. The beer cheese was a bit too much for me. Next time I'd ask for it without it. The calamari comes in long strips, kind of like fries. They're crispy and come with a super tasty sweet chili sauce! The pupu steak was also very good, a perfect medium. If you're not looking for a meal, the garlic Parmesan fries are probably the best bar fries you could ever find! I love sampling the different beers with a flight. Some of my favorites are: Deschutes Nitro Obsidian Stout, New Belgium Fat Tire, Coconut Hiwa Porter and the Waimanalo Farmhouse Ale. If you're looking for something on the lighter side I highly recommend the ACE guava cider. It tastes just like POG! read more

Great service the environment is mixed with the young and the uncles and aunties lots fun. A must check out spot. The have different beers you must try read more

Wanted to try something new for lunch so my husband said something about this place and let me say I'm glad I tried it out !! The food was delicious ! It literally had us full all day. We went for lunch and it wasn't busy at all but yet the service was slow... that was my only down side but I want to go back to maybe sit on their patio next time or even karaoke on Thursday's I saw the poster ! They even have a game table which I thought was neat. The bar being so close by and big ! They have so many selections I would not be surprised if they are a hot commodity and I didn't even know !! read more

I enjoy coming during the day to play the variety of board games while enjoying some brews. I love that they always have a rotating list although sometimes sad when a favorite goes away. I like coming for Trivia nights (although I'm not that great) and karaoke. Food takes a long time in the kitchen but it is good. I recommend the wings, chicken Sammies, burgers and fries. read more

Food: Kalua pork potato skins- it was delicious also served with cheese and tomatoes. The kalua pork was juicy and flavorful, the tomato gave it a fresh taste and the cheese wasn't too salty. It was freshly made and hot when served. Pupu steak- served with leafy greens, and a dab of butter on the juicy steaks. Flavored perfectly. Avocado bomb- I was told that it is very spicy, but my niece loves those and is her favorite dish from here. Fish n chips- fish was good very "meaty taste" not very oily, served with 3 pieces and lots of fries. The tarter sauce was delicious! Buffalo chicken sandwich- friend said it was delicious, chicken wasn't too spicy and contained just enough blue cheese. Waitress took our order immediately and provided exceptional service. Located in Mililani Mauka near McDonalds. Parking can be a challenge. read more

Ordinarily have had fish n chips which is is a huge portion. Decided to try chicken sandwich w/pesto & it was nice & juicy & filling. May have been too many different flavor combos but very satisfying overall for price. Will have to go back for both selections again. read more

First time coming to this place. There's and outdoor patio that has a good amount of seating. Also inside has good seating too. They serve mostly burgers and flatbreads. I ordered the Shrimp and Pesto Flat bread. It was really good. Other people in my party got burgers which I tried and was good too. They have a good selection of beers, they also have cocktails as well. They have this pineapple beer (forgot the name) but it was not bad. Didn't taste like beer at all. The staff is really friendly as well. This was my first time and it won't be my last. The only bad thing is I live in Kalihi and it's a drive just to get here. read more

I gave this spot another chance because my wife's friends were there. It was ok at first. Bartender and waitress were polite and friendly. About an hour after this witch who I can only assume is the manager or owner tells me i cannot be standing up. No explanation why just rudely said "I cannot have you stand". My friend has been stand up for an hour, but I can't? Then she her tell the waitress to make last call 15 mins early. The staff looked confused and torn. This place has some great people, but the management is a fucking joke. I've been in customer service for 30 years and never in Hawaii seen such disrespect from an establishment. read more

Located in Mililani, Taps & Apps is a brewpub focusing on a variety of great beers, pub food, and most notably, their own micro brews! A member of the Hawaii Craft Brewers Guild, I had heard of and read about their beer but have not an an opportunity to try it until recently. Their beers are mainly produced to be sold on site, but make up a small percentage of those available on tap. They have about 30 tap selections plus some bottles. They also have a full bar for those leaning that direction. Taps & Apps is located in the Mililani Mauka shopping center close by many other restaurants and shops. It's easy to get to from Mililani Town and right off of the H2. Parking is free and shared with the shopping center. It sits in the southwest corner, with the doors off the parking lot. Inside is larger; it's modern and clean with bright walls, exposed concrete floors, lots of wood and metal. Tables are plentiful as well, high tops with comfortable chairs, stools around the bar, normal tables, and a nice outside deck with umbrella tables for outdoor seating. The bar is fairly large with all the taps. At the rear of the restaurant on the left are the restrooms, kitchen straight ahead, and micro brewing room to the right. They have a big window to see the small brew kettles and equipment; it was not in production on our visit. This is loosely a gastropub with a big focus on foods, albeit simple ones. Happy Hour is a great deal here, with special pub pupus, and discounts on beer and certain cocktails. I had the HH sliders, and really loved how juicy and soft they were; perfect with beer! My companions had the chicken sandwich, which was massive and the creamed corn shrimp, which was not the greatest. Based on our experience, this feels more like a pupu place, not a place for a full meal. Obviously, the reason to come is the beer selection. This is Mililani's only true beer bar. The beer menu is provided on the physical menu as well as on the chalkboard wall. They have a well rounded selection with any type you'd like. There are places on the island with more to offer, but for people living in this area, this would be a great option over driving into town. One big pet peeve of mine is the way beer flights are done: I love to try many different kinds of beer, which can often be confusing and frustrating. Taps & Apps has one of the best methods: a nice solid wooden paddle with large flight glasses, each with a chalk number matching to the menu so you know exactly what you're trying. So simple and positive. The restrooms were clean but not as modern as the rest of the restaurant. The staff was super nice and attentive, no complaints at all. They have a large selection of board and party games; be sure to check out the giant jenga and connect-4. This is a nice place in central O'ahu to enjoy some beers! read more

Went here on Father's Day at the request of my husband who is a beer/whiskey connoisseur and has been wanting to try this place for a while. My daughter called in advance to see if they were doing any specials for Father's Day and they said they had a Prime Rib Special and a Filet Mignon Special, so off we went, we arrived there around 8 pm. The parking was fine, found a space right away, upon entering felt kind of weird, not welcoming, more like that, "never seen you all before" kind of vibe. Anyways we found a table quickly, it wasn't that busy, most of the tables are high tops but there were a few regular tables, they also had a few tables outside. The place is decorated nice, bar vibe with a few TV screens, liquor signs on the wall and they had games you could play, like a giant Connect Four game, saw another table playing a game but couldn't see what it was. We were greeted promptly, and brought water and menus. So we saw the specials on the board on the wall and I was like WHAT????? 14 oz Prime Rib with mashed potatoes and asparagus for $53!!! No thanks! We ordered Garlic Chicken Wings, Garlic Parmesan Fries and the appetizer steak which was $20. Also wanted to try the Bao Buns but the were out of the pickled vegetables that go with it, and my daughter wanted the escargot but they were out of that too. The wings were hot, crunchy and tasty with fine grated parmesan cheese on top which added to the flavor, the fries were good too with the same grated parmesan, both of those didn't have a real garlic taste though. Then came the steak which we ordered with sautéed mushrooms and onions for an extra charge, when it was brought to the table there were no mushrooms or onions so we let our server know and she said she would get us some and apologized. The steak was sliced and sitting in a demi glaze sauce, it also had herb butter on top of the steak that wasn't melting, which I found strange, then I realized why after I bit into a piece, it was cold like really cold. So gross! So I asked the server if the steak was supposed to be cold and she said no, so she took it back and we waited, then she brought out another one (it could have been the same steak) still no mushrooms and onions. So now my daughter tries the 2nd steak and she says it's cold...WTH??? So this time we ask to speak to the manager on duty, we tell him the steak is cold and he explains that the steak is pre cooked Souvee style, then they throw it on the grill to heat it up and give it color when someone orders it. Oh, now that makes sense, but no thanks! Finally the mushrooms and onions come out and I swear it was about 1/4 cup of bits and pieces of mushrooms and onions. The manager was nice enough to take the steak off of our bill and the server was very apologetic. So the manager brought out another steak and it was warm, not hot, but warm....tiny yay!!! Thank goodness we didn't order the Prime Rib! My husband did get to finally try the beer here, he ordered a flight of different craft beers and he enjoyed that, 5 different beers for $16. Well, at least he finally got to try the place, don't think we will return here. Better places out there for better quality food and prices. read more

Taps & Apps - Cold Appetizer steak, note the butter not even melting. $20 - New American Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

This place has everything. 30 craft beers. Great selection of great food. Football on the tele. An outdoor lanai if it is too noisy inside. Signs on the bathroom of a cat and a rooster. A hilarious bartender named Chase that will remind you of Jack Black. This is my go to place. Not only is it close to my home, the owner is a Bronco fan. 6 stars! read more

One of my coworkers recommended this place for a small company luncheon. While the location was pleasant and convenient, I cannot say that I was a fan of their beer cheese. I'm not a drinker, so I don't have much to say although they did have an extensive selection of beers. Their food was alright. I really wish I had gotten the T&A wedge salad instead of the hapa nachos and steak flatbread. Both the hapa nachos and steak flatbread had the beer cheese so I just couldn't get past the aftertaste. There was not much salt to the flatbread either so I added a bunch of salt when I took the food home to finish. There was no salt out on the tables we sat at on the patio. One other plus is that we did not need to show any negative covid test or proof of vaccination since they allowed us to sit outside, so this can be a really nice spot to get together for the folks that cannot get vaccinated. Overall, this place is ok and I'd still say it's worth a try for those that prefer a drink with their meal. I'll definitely try the T&A wedge but I'm not sure how high my expectations should be since even the waitress said "it looks especially good today". LOL - I wonder how it looks other days? I'd still be tempted to try it. read more

Stopped here around 3:00 on our way back from the north shore. Good beer selection and tasty food. Great garlic fries! The pupu steak was delicious with sautéed mushrooms and onions. The "nachos" are tasty potato skins. read more

Amazing delicious oh sooo ono food... well except for the cookie dessert. parking during the day is OK but don't come at night find a spot. They use are not going ingredients everything is made fresh. Nice music at night they have live music. They also have trivia. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Good place to watch a sports game. 36 different beers on tap. They have board games. The wait for some reason today was kind of long that's why it's got four stars instead of five. Maybe someone called in sick. Overall pretty darn good place. read more

Went here for a special occasion just the three of us guys. We took the outside seating. Unfortunately the service was horrible - very horrible. The waiter was rude - and if it wasn't for my calm nature I would have kicked his okole. But anyways, we ordered food and drinks and we didn't get any more drinks or was not checked on for almost 30 minutes after - mind you after seeing everyone else being serviced twice inside. - this guy had the nerve to crack a joke and also say "I'm not the cook" after politely reminding him that we had one more Order for steak. Well that kinda left a sour taste in the over all service and we weren't checked on for a beer refill for almost an hr. So we decided to close out the check and sit at the bar. The bar was great! The service and whoever was manning the bar was excellent !!! She actually made up for the service that was rendered on the floor. Best believe that of all the service and places that I've been to and I'm a good tipper as well - whoever was working the floor was horrendous. I'm glad our experience at the bar was perfect. I was warned by a co-worker that it really depends on who you get at that place as far as service and I kind of believe him now. That place , even though they have great beer - the service and whoever that waiter was - suck. I had the feeling that he felt the vibe after we told him we wanted to cash out and sit at the bar. It wasn't even that busy. Honestly I would not go back there again and probably just go into town. Not worth the bad service unless you sit at the bar. Aloha and take care. read more

Pretty disappointed. I've come here before and had no issues and called tonight to order some food. I called and after a second try, a woman picked up. Then she ignored me lol. Like literally I heard the background bar noise after she greeted me and she said nothing after that. I hung up and called again and again, only to go straight to voicemail? Not sure if the phone was taken off the hook or what. H My friend and I then decided to drive there and give them a chance because maybe they were too busy to answer the phone. We go inside and stand at door and wait. Plenty of eye contact from the servers and bartenders - no one comes to greet us or acknowledge us. Can't even comment on service when we weren't even approached. I could understand if they were slam packed but the female bartender literally looked at us as if we were flies on the wall. Im sure there is no loss to them since they ignore phone calls and customers at the door. If you're done serving food at 10/1030 and close at 12, just say that. read more

Came here for dinner after doing my hair with my aunty. This was my first time here, but I've been told that this a good place to eat. We came on a Wednesday night at 5:15 pm which was during happy hour of course. When you walk in they check ids because it is a bar. Then they check your temperatures and say you can sit wherever there's open seating. There were a few tables occupied so we sat away from everyone else. My aunty mentioned when they first opened the food was really good, but overtime they changed owners and the menu items weren't as great as they used to be; however, everything we ordered for dinner was amazing! The food came out quick and our server was so friendly! It was really loud in there because there were lots of people drinking for happy hour so it was hard trying to talk over everyone else. I didn't drink anything, but my aunty had glasses of wine. We shared the Pupu Steak with garlic butter, onions and mushrooms (which our server recommended), Mushroom & Brie Flatbread, Hapa Nachos and Garlic Parmesan Fries. Everything was so delicious! The garlic butter, mushrooms and onions made the steak so good! We asked for medium-well, but it looked like it came out as medium-rare. We still ate it lol! The fries were a thicker cut and I thought it was gonna have more garlic butter sauce on it. It was just fries topped with shredded parmesan cheese. You can't go wrong with that. I don't think I'd order it again and I love fries! We didn't read correctly and thought the Hapa Nachos were actual nachos... it was potato skins with kalua pig and other toppings. It was still tasty! (My husband said this was his favorite when he ate my leftovers so I'm gonna try to recreate it lol!) The flatbread was interesting since it had cranberries in it. It tasted good, but I don't think I'd order it again because of the cranberries; however I loved the crust! It was really crunchy! The citrus arugula was different, but I think it added to the flavor of the flatbread. At the end of it, we were so full and took home the leftovers. I would definitely come here again, but I have to be prepared for how loud it gets. I almost lost my voice trying to talk over the noise while talking story with my aunty lol! It was a great night and pretty slow. I can't imagine how it is on the weekends. read more

At Taps and Apps there exists a notoriously popular Tuesday night trivia event that I keep hearing about, so I wanted to check the place out without the crazy crowds. When we arrived, they had a great retro 80s mix playing over the speakers and Saturday afternoon college football on the TVs. There were a few more people than I expected around 2 p.m. on a Saturday, and the place started to fill up more around 4:30 p.m. The decor is post-modern pub, with sharp-edged round wooden tables and high chairs spaced out around the inside. There's also an outside seating area with black patio furniture. The bathroom doors are thoughtfully labeled by gender. On the men's door is a silhouette of a rooster. On the women's door is a silhouette of a cat. You may translate that as you see fit. Service was slow but we were there at an odd hour. Only one man, Richard, was working hard at both the bar and the tables. Luckily, he was energetic. Lots of friendly chatter and smiles put me at ease. My friend got their Brewpub BBQ burger ($18). It was held together with a bamboo skewer. The skewer handle poking out the top of the burger made it look like the burger wore a little samurai topknot. Once the skewer was gone, the burger had a tendency to fall apart into its component parts. I didn't try the burger, but it looked huge and tasty. He said the BBQ flavor was subtle. I got the Waikiki Hana Hou Hefe ($6), which I was pleased to see was served super cold in a normal thick-walled glass. (There was an outdoor place in Kakaako that I visited recently, which served hefeweizen in a tall, narrow, thin-walled glass. That is technically more appropriate, but it also meant the beer warmed super fast. Ick.) Food-wise, I got the seared salmon salad ($15). Right, salad at a brewpub. I don't even usually like to order salad anywhere, because let's face it, salad sucks. Charred proteins, wilted lettuce. One does not often eat out to eat salad, and if one does, is one not setting oneself up for disappointment? But I took a chance on this because a) salmon, b) it was early afternoon and I wanted to eat light, and c) I am a struggling optimist. This salmon salad was a surprise. It was, dare I say it, aspirational. Refreshing, yet satisfying. The salmon slab was moist, flaky, flavorful, a touch smoky like it had been perfectly grilled on a wooden plank. In the menu, the salad is advertised as containing mixed greens, hearts of palm, red onions, and roasted crispy garlic. Instead of garlic, I got a mix of berries and tomatoes. This is way better. The salad comes with a yuzu caper vinaigrette. Garlic would have overwhelmed the yuzu, but the fruitiness enhanced it. I wanted to drink what was left of the vinaigrette, it was that good. This salad would not be out of place at Mariposa. Overall, a very relaxed and pleasant early afternoon experience. I wouldn't hesitate to come back! I'm curious about the cast-iron cookie a la mode dessert ($9) that I was too full to try. read more

I have been to Taps & Apps a couple of times. I had met my friends there on Wednesday night. They follow the COVID guidlelines and while IDing you at the door check your vaccination card. We had some drinks and pupus. The food was delicious. One of the appetizers that my friends had ordered was no what they had expected. They said something to the server and the food was taken from the table. The manager came up to talk to us to see why the food was sent back. My friend had told her that it wasn't what they had envisioned the food to be and that it was something that they didn't want to eat. The Manager then took the food of the bill. Taps & Apps provides great service and this is a great place to come after a long day at work. read more

The staff here is friendly and efficient! But our favorite part about this bar is the food, drinks, and ambiance. It's rare to find an upscale bar in a suburban neighborhood that has this good of food AND a well crafted beer selection. We love to come here any day of the week and order the mushroom brie flat bread topped with tossed arugula and cranberries. You'll also find the best burger on island here! the T&A burger is cooked to perfection, the bun to meat ratio is just right and the gruyere cheese with local greens just elevates the burger experience. For appetizers my go to is the calamari. They use a thicker calamari steak instead of the usual little rounds, which allow for a better bread to calamari meat texture. A trip to Taps and apps always leaves us feeling well fed and happy! read more

Great place to hang out after work and enjoy sports, conversation, and pretty good food and drinks. There's always sports on the screen, a decent spread of pupus, entrees, and meals (including decent keto, vegetarian, and even a few vegan options) along with a solid selection (over 30) of beers (you can order a sampler of 4 choices to try for $12), wines, and drinks. Best samplers I've had are the pupu steak, hapa nachos, and garlic fries. Been itching to try a few more things, but the only thing holding me back is... the prices. That's why it's one star short. The prices here are rather high, and there are other places that do an excellent job of pupus and meals for less. If some of the prices were just a little lower, I think they could do even better than they do (which is not bad... just couldbe more attractive to the foodie audience and not just the drinkers). I'll be back again soon... just gotta budget for it. read more

We hadn't been back here in awhile so we were pleased that they had updated the menu and added more cocktails. I really liked the taps and apps Mule. I also felt the food has really improved. We ordered the Italiano flat bread, fried veggies, hapa nachos, crab cakes, calamari, and southern fried chicken sandwich. Everything was good but the calamari and the sandwich were especially delicious. For dessert we had the creme brûlée and the bread pudding. The bread pudding had a fried outside and had so much potential to be amazing but it turned out really bland. It really needs to be sweeter. As for service, we first sat at the bar to wait for a table. I asked a waitress if she could give us a heads up if a table was finishing up and she wouldn't help us. So we had to watch for a table to open up and nearly knocked people over trying to secure it. I didn't like that we had to close out our tab at the bar because our food order was on that tab. After we sat at the table and got a new server, we felt the service was lacking. It makes sense since we pretty much paid for our meal and tip already and were only ordering dessert and more drinks through her. Needless to say our service was pretty lacking which reminds me the other time we came here our group had changed tables and the servers were actually arguing about it which made us really uncomfortable. read more

I must update my review from the very first time I went. This place has stepped it up a little. Parking now has gotten really crowded being there are other places that has opened up since Taps & Apps opened..Your surrounding areas go from Wing Stop, Taco Del Mar, Verizon, Longs, Tesoros, Dominos, L&L, Super Cuts, Subway & Sugar Coated..All thats missing is a grocery store, LOL... Now that this place has been around for several months it has made its changes n people has made establishments there as a chill place to hang out. This time around the food was AMAZING n they even got a couple of new items on the menu. The atmosphere is really laid back n relaxing..They even have their outside deck open if u wanted to sit out there n eat..The customer service was great:)) && thats a plus for a bar..Overall my experience this time around was great n Ill be going back:)) read more

Location/Parking: They are located in The Gateway Center of Mililani Mauka next to Navy Federal and Wing Stop. The shopping center is big but the parking next to the bar is minimal. Ambiance: It's a chill bar with ample seating on the bar, 10 tables and seating outside. There is a large screen TV at the bar. They also make their own beer. You can purchase a growler and fill it up. Drinks: They are known for their selection of beer. They have a total of 36 beers on tap which is awesome for beer lovers! They have a flight drink special where you pick 4 drinks to try. They also make mixed drinks and they have a Bloody Mary bar in the mornings. I tried the Mililani Melon and I highly recommend it. I like sweet fun drinks and I'm glad they had mixed drinks here. Food: We enjoyed ALL the food and we ordered half the menu. Lol. Our favorite was the Irish nachos. It was so unique! It had Irish cheese, purple sauerkraut, corn beef brisket and homemade kettle chips. We also tried the farmer salad, lamb scotch egg, pupu steak, wings and the French fries. We tried to order oysters but it was unavailable that night. Prices: The flight of beer was $16 which is a steal considering 1 glass of beer is around $5-$10. The appetizers are pricey and the portion is small. Most of the appetizers cost around $12-$16. Overall, I'm glad I tried out this place. My party of four enjoyed the variety of beers, mixed drink selection, unique appetizers and chill vibes of this place. We will be back again in the future. read more

It was a late night Sunday, 11:45pm to be exact. Me and my friend wanted to get a night cap for the day, we went to BWW only because I knew they would be open and they had booze, however horrible service, so we left. Hoorah! for yelp to rescue us! Saw that Taps and Apps were open until 2AM, and I always wanted to try this place, but never really had the chance. They are located in Mililiani Mauka, next to Wing Stop. The parking lot was pretty empty with only 3 cars, so we thought they were closed. To our surprise they were open. However, there were only like 2 people drinking. The bartender was super cool and just told us to sit anywhere. I looked over the menu and the bartender said the kitchen was closed so only drinks we could order. I just had a revelation... LOL I thought 'apps' were like a place to play games, but 'apps' is appetizers! LOL, so they only strictly sell that. They all sounded so good, so i will be back soon. The drinks we ordered were pretty good on tap, and cheap. The drink prices range from 5-30$ 3 stars because they should give bar snacks for the late nighters like myself haha, and because I have yet to try the rest of their menu. The venue was an ok size, and I could see this place being packed and hot on a regular day time. I hope I can come back and try the rest of the menu and give them a better rating. Until next time Taps and Apps! read more

Taps & Apps - Samuel Adams winter lager - New American Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

Went here for a beer and an appetizer. There was just a lunch menu and the only app type thing to order was fries. We got the garlic parmesan fries to share. They were really good. The beer selection was good also. read more

Taps & Apps - Garlic parmesan fries - New American Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

My friend and I went there to watch game 1 of the NBA finals. It was still pretty empty because we got there about 2:45pm, but before halftime, it was pretty packed. We had our pick of bar seating. They have TVs all around the bar and in the restaurant. All the seating inside are high tops, and they also have outdoor seating which is much more relaxed. I had a Mai Tai, and I've got to say it was the best one I'd had in a while. It tasted amazing and was super strong! We both ordered the T&A crab melt with fries. Although it is a little on the salty side, the melt is really good. I wouldn't say it is a unique restaurant item, but it's not a common one and they make it really good here. The one thing I don't like about T&A is that they're so expensive. I think a lot of the menu items are pretty over priced. read more

Taps & Apps is a cool place to come and hang out! The parking lot was kind of full so it was difficult to find parking around 8PM. The Thursday night that I had went, there was karaoke going on and good vibes all around. It was nice. My server was a nice young lady. She was so honest and cute. I loved her vibe. Super sweet! So, I just wanted to try several items! So I had ordered a couple burgers and a couple of appetizers. Mushrooms And Brie Garnished with Dried Cranberries & Truffled Arugul; These were interesting, it was for sure not like the stuffed mushrooms I get from Genki, sushi spot, or pizza press. These were fancy mushrooms with a different sophisticated taste. lol. It was okay, not for me. Firecracker Jack Burger: Pepper Jack cheese, pickled jalapeno & onions, chipotle aioli, spicy ketchup, butter lettuce & tomato; was super tasty! this was a good heavy burger and it was very filling. I would get this again. Aristocrat Burger: Brie, Prosciutto, garlic aioli, dijon mustard, truffle arugula, tomato & onion; this was really good as well. I don't think it was worth the price being a very expensive $20 burger. Garlic Parmesan fries; these were okay. My fries kind of came out soggy. maybe ask for it well done? This needed a stronger hint of garlic if I was asking for garlic fries. Avocado bombs; were delicious. I enjoyed these. Super fat juicy avocado with crab. these were already filling. I think I was good with just these. I'm a fan of the place and the events they have. && maybe just the drinks and the appetizers kind of place. read more

Really good wings, crispy and perfect amount of spice. Diverse beer selection, service was attentive.

Beers are pretty good, crisp and smooth! Server is friendly, informative, and all smiles! The food is awesome here! Hubby and I shared the sweet chili and garlic Parmesan hot wings and the pork bao buns and we are very satisfied! Their dipping sauces are all house made and their ranch is pretty amazing! The place got very busy in such a short time yet our host continued to smile and enjoy serving her area tables. We ordered the peach bread pudding to finalize our dining experience and she was honest about the 20 minute wait on our dessert which was not a problem at all! I mean, c'mon who doesn't appreciate fresh foods especially from an establishment that doesn't even have a microwave?! This was a great place to spend with my hubby just enjoying a night out for a couple of Taps and Apps...literally! read more

Taps & Apps - T&A Burger cooked perfectly! Medium-Rare. - New American Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

This will be my last ever visit to this establishment. Sat at the bar with a friend and ordered a drink. My friend ordered shrimp and a beer. All of these came promptly but after that it was a struggle to get the bartender's attention. They kept hanging out in the back of the restaurant and ignoring all customers that didn't appear to be their regulars. Finally got the bartenders attention and ordered chicken strips. The strips were good but still had the tendon in it making it hard to eat. The breading also fell apart. After another long period of trying to get bartenders attention I ordered a lychee martini. It came back purple and tasted like candy corn. I had another difficult bout of trying to get the bartenders attention. I told her I didn't like the drink and asked for a cosmo instead. She frowned at me. Didn't offer to fix it. By that time I was fed up and wanted to leave. I offered to still pay for my bad tasting drink. Bartender said she couldn't take it off my bill because she already rang it up. Worst service ever. read more

Friendly and attentive staff. Good food. Even when you get their Soup of the Day (which was Chili, this week), even that was delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating areas. Trivia. Live music. Etc. Plenty of free parking. read more

I drive from town to eat their chicken club. Tuesday I s trivia night and Thursday is Karaoke. I love the atmosphere and food.

Ambiance- *** Taste- *** Parking- **** Service- ***** Cute bar/restaurant, probably more adult friendly with smaller tables. Really enjoyed the garlic parm fries, but would not recommend the buffalo wings. T&A is getting a four star from me solely based on the service I received. Sam is an amazing bartender/server and was able to manage a large group of people while staying attentive and friendly. I bet she's the reason for many repeat customers. read more
