Chili Nachos
Christina K.

Taps & Barrels is a place with a lot of potential. The layout seems to encourage a lot of community with long tables meant for sharing with friends and strangers. There's also a nice couch section with a round center table where I saw a group of friends enjoy their visit. If you're into sports, there's several televisions around the perimeter that provide good view of the action. As my first time here, the staff is very kind in explaining how the process works. I was told that you can enter your phone number and then it allows you to scan the QR code on the table for food. The alternative is to walk up to the front counter to order. I wanted to learn how to do this process so I tried. I added the food item to the cart on my phone but when it came to checkout, I was unsure how to proceed. It asked me to add a credit card, yet I already had one opened on file for my visit. I went back up to the front and the team member was unsure so we handled the entire food ordering up front. I put in an order for the chili nachos and the size was quite decent with a lot of toppings. It's a good shareable to start. I also tried the sweet potato fries which I asked for more well done to ensure that they come out with some crisp. The sweet potato fries were actually a waffle and they did come out nice, hot and crispy - so that is a winner of an app! The pour yourself concept is interesting and it's nice that each sign provides information about the content and more info if you tap the screen - such as the general beer taste description. The glass shelf has several options. I didn't see any cold glasses which would have been a plus. The staff member said that you can sample beers by just pouring a little, but there were no small shot glasses to do this. Therefore, I was compelled to just go for it and pour 3 ounces to try a light lager. Sitting back at the table, I was almost certain that a new glass would be required for each visit. However, I saw everyone bring their own glass back up to refill each time. I didn't see any clear signage on site that explained the process. If refills are allowed - then I think that additional signage should also explain pouring etiquette as well. There's a water station for self serve as well. I appreciate the lids and straws that are also at the station. I would have loved to have some ice readily available but I'm sure it's probably just an ask as I saw others have ice in their drinks. The pricing per ounce reminds me of a self serve yogurt place in that the amount you get actually feels more expensive in the end. The per ounce feel makes you think it's a good deal, but it's on par or a hair over other places that pour for you. Overall, I think this is a cool concept to try and to show out of town friends if they don't have anything like this in their area. Also - I can see this being a great place if friends are going dutch as they can use their own card and everyone is responsible for their share. Lastly, if you don't like to commit 16 oz to just one beer, this is a great way to try several beers in one sitting.

Absolutely cool spot! Daily happy hour from 4 PM to 6 PM Monday through Friday with daily specials like hummus and pita for $9 on Monday, $7 Mexican corn dip on Tuesday, $6 - 6 piece wings on Wednesday, $4 sweet potato fries on Thursday and $7 chili nachos on Friday. They also have the tap prices cheaper during the happy hour. Give a card to start a tab , and pour away to your liking! Staff is super friendly and the place has a super cool vibe. Thursday night they were doing a captains table poker tournament, which looks super fun! Follow @702bornfoodie on IG

**This review is for the beer and pour-your-own system only ** Generally, I'm not keen on pour-your-own beer bars but my wife and I were in the area and wanted to grab a beer. They had some stuff I haven't tried so figured it would be neat to check out. The glassware, taps and wall appeared clean but glassware style and size options were lacking and no indication of when the lines were last cleaned. Would be nice to have some 5oz "taster" glasses as an option at the least. Also, no offer of instruction on how to pour the beer (although I'm well versed in the proper pour) didn't inspire confidence that people weren't reusing glasses or touching the spouts while pouring. Beer didn't pour well on most taps, and one of the kegs kicked leaving me with a bunch of foam. Beer prices were a little high per ounce compared to a pint around town, but the fact you can pour almost any size pour means you'll pay a little extra. Options were decent with some beers I've not seen elsewhere in town. Overall, it's not a spot I'd visit again unless there was some special beer I couldn't find anywhere else in the city.

Matthew took such care of us. He manages the whole crowd here, too. So, walk in toward the cashier. Give them your credit card and they will give you "drink" card to tap-hold at their drink kiosks. Scan to order and pay for food or order any food items you desire from Matt/server. Super chill sports bar to watch a game. Lots of parking. Clean. Will return. A+!

Beerhouse Flatbread: Prosciutto and Fig
Jenna R.

Stopped by on a Sunday night, and this was my 2nd time here which was so opposite from the first time I came here. The vibes were a lot more chill and all TVs were on and playing different sporting events: MLB, NFL, and NBA. The last time I was here on a Friday night there was a small party happening and live music. Lots of parking with indoor and outdoor seating, including high top seating and couch seating. We were helped by Vance who was friendly and very helpful with recommending beers and food to try. He recommended the Beerhouse Flatbread with prosciutto & fig, which was 10/10 exactly what we needed to drink our beers with. There's a wide range of beers, ciders, seltzers, and wines to choose from on the wall. I love pressing the info button on the screens to learn more about what I am drinking. I also love that it's a self-pour with different glasses so that you can control how much you want to pour. This is a great place for someone to try different things, especially if you're not sure what you like. As a beer and cider person, I would say that every drink that I had here was great with lots of choices for people who don't drink beers/ciders regularly. Would definitely come here again and would be fun as a date night or even with a large group too!

Buffalo Wings ($9.49 for 6 pieces)
Dali V.

So yummy!! I am personally not a huge beer fan, but I'm so glad we tried this place out! It's like yogurtland meets beer and there's a large variety to choose from. You get a card, grab a glass, place the card in the designated area, and self serve from their rotation of flavors. I really liked being able to taste a bunch of different flavors without committing to a whole 8oz glass. Some stand outs for me were the Ube and Guava flavors, so yummy but on the sweet side. Prices varied and were per ounce, but I'd say most were around $0.75 an ounce with some on "sale" as low as $0.30 an ounce. We tried a lot of food dishes too from the nachos to the mexican corn dip to the wings and all of it was soo delicious!! Definitely on the pricier side, but I'd say most of it was shareable. They do have happy hour Monday-Friday for the drinks and various food happy hours throughout the week, so I'd take advantage of those. The interior is really open with lots of long tables to accommodate big groups. There's a few board games to check out behind the cashier. And the outdoor patio is great too. It's very upscale outside with water features and fire pits. Last but not least, the service here is great! Very friendly and accommodating. We were celebrating a birthday and they made us feel very welcome and helped us out with extra plates and forks for the cake. The only qualm I have with this place is that it closes too soon! I really hope they extend their hours past 10/11pm. I'll definitely be back though.

Great place. Lots of options to go along with your choice of flatbread or any of the other items on the menu. And bonus they have real Texas Hold 'em with professional dealers hosted by the Misfits Poker League.

Daniel G.

We stopped here because of a work get together and were very impressed. There was plenty of parking out front, and plenty of seating inside with tvs. The employee (I think Vance) was very friendly, helpful, and offered free tastings of a few of the beers. There was a good selection of beers, wines, etc to choose from as well. We tried the chips and salsa and the flatbread, and both were good. Overall, we were very impressed and wish they had one in the Centennial Hills area.

Butter board
Ana S.

Taps & Barrell surprised me in the best way. The warm pretzel loaves and whipped butter board were insane - sweet, salty, creamy, and honestly the reason I'll be back. The toppings (dried fruit, nuts, herbs, microgreens) made it feel way fancier than it needed to be, and I loved it. Service was quick, vibes were cute, and the only thing I wanted was more pretzels because the board deserved unlimited carbs. Great spot for a casual-but-elevated bite.

Wings
Monica T.

This place was ok for me. I am not a beer person but my husband is. It was nice to hang out on the patio as the weather was perfect. It was very welcoming at first but towards the end the waiter got a little better. Tables were small outside and only had a high top or couch, no other tables not al height. There were a lot of beer options. It's a little pricey for the beers but there were so many options. They had some for a deal due to happy hour. The food was ok, typical bar food. I was sad the food was just bar food and there were not options. This is a better suited place for folks who like beer a lot only, and if you don't like beer, this place won't be appetizing.

Winners on the mat and here for IBJJF after party!

Great beer selection and food is perfect for the atmosphere. Staff is attendant to their patrons!

Flatbread
Michelle C.

Taps and Barrel is such a cool concept--think Yogurtland, but for beer, cider, and other drinks on tap. You can pour as much (or as little) as you want, sample different options, and even customize your drink. Whether you're a casual drinker or a beer enthusiast, it's a fun and interactive experience. I've been here in different settings--small groups, larger gatherings, and even hosting an event--and every time, I leave happy. I recently hosted a group of about 10 people, and it was awesome because no reservations or fees were required. The vibe is super casual but in the best way. That said, sometimes the place closes for private events or gets really busy, so I recommend calling ahead to make sure they're open to the public. The indoor space is great with long communal tables, but the outdoor patio is even better--fire pits, mountain views, and just an overall great atmosphere. As someone who doesn't drink much, I found it pretty affordable, but if you're someone who can really put back beers, it might not be the most budget-friendly place. Still, the experience alone makes it worth checking out. Highly recommend!

Squidlett and hubs took me out for lunch today. So I got my old and creaky a** in their vehicle…read moreand we drove down here, located right off of Cheyenne and across from Mountain view . We got there around 12ish and only a couple folks at the bar and the waitres/bartender was dealing with large take out orders. The place is huge, separate dining area in the back past the bar. Traditional gaming setup at the bar(15 machines interspaced around) lots of high tops in the bar area and a nice patio around the building . I think the patio is dog friendly. So we ordered the variety show as an app. Gigundo pretzel filled with cheese curds, fried pickles, pigs in the blanket etc. ordered the cheese fondue as a dipping sauce. Quite frankly we were filled up just nibbling on that and we really didn't even make a dent in it. For the mains (we knew would probably just go home as takeout).... Squidlett ordered the BLT. (Must of had 8oz bacon on it) with fries. Hubs had the brisket sandwich with home made chips. The brisket was cut in cubes and short strips and was juicy and a fairly large portion. I had the perfect smashy, two patties with tomato and onion and sauce. Probably about 6-8 ounces of beef. Aldo with the homemade chips. Hubs and I each had a beer from their large selection. All in all, probably a 4.75 star meal but since they gave us a 20.00 sign up discount and applied a generous military discount, we were super happy and will definitely return. The bartender says it's busier in the evenings and depending what's going on across the street at the hospital. The have "hoppy hours" and DLL sorts of specials.

Instead, I received a single piece of grilled chicken by itself, sweet potato fries, and dipping sauces. There was no BLT whatsoever -- no bread, no bacon, no lettuce, and no tomato. The grilled chicken was supposed to be added to the BLT, not replace the entire sandwich. The receipt clearly shows "1x BLT" and my note saying "Add grilled chicken please," so I'm not sure how the main item was completely left out. I paid $26.48 total for this order and essentially received a piece of chicken, fries, and a drink. I have photos of exactly what was delivered as well as the receipt. Really frustrating, especially for a late-night order when there aren't many options to replace a missing meal.

The pretzels were great to snack on while I drank my beer, in the case I was going to drink more later that night. I did drive here, so I had to really pace myself with my drinks.

The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.
