The beer was good, but the service sucked, and the people there were mainly locals who go every day. I got a funny feeling, like they didn't want me there or something. I just didn't like the vibe. The restaurant next door also sucks! I rather eat little caesar's down the street. read more

This is a tough one The lady who helped us when we arrived was thee sweetest ever and so helpful. We had some flights and appetizers and were going to find another spot to eat cause was super quiet vibe and wanted some music and more lively vibe. Bar tender arrived before we left and turned on some music so decided to stay and order food The food WAS GREAT and the same lady was awesome but the bar tender (Joey) was NOT friendly whatsoever . We even tried to communicate and spark up conversation but it was just one word response and didn't try to talk to us at all, so we finished our food and left. read more

Taps Barrel House - Bar - Pubs Near Me - Stockton, California

If you like beer Taps Barrel House is the place to go. Taps features a seriously massive list of local brews and a few others that is nothing to scoff at. Dark beers, Stouts, IPA's and so many choices it'll make your head spin. Very enjoyable spot to relax and enjoy a beer or two. I'll keep this review pretty simple because this place is basically just that, a place to come and enjoy a brew. Between the solid selection and cozy atmosphere, this place is on point. Taps, a Stockton gem... read more

It would've been a four star but each time I come in the service is not great. for example one of my visits, I was thinking out loud which # I would pick and one of the gals who was working was like ewww that one is gross I don't think it.!!!! I didn't think that was professional at all. I only come back because I really like the HighWater Beers, they usually have over 10 beers on tap. read more

Beer for days! Was visiting in town on Saturday afternoon, and it was not pack at all. A section of the place is a bar, as the other side is known for dining in and live music. Hung out at the bar side, found a jumbo jenga, also a cabinet full of other games. + 28 beers on tap + price and alcohol content listed on the wall + Service was attentive + spotted regulars at the bar + parking in rear or street Because I'm a whiskey drinker, I ordered Whiskey thief (Scotch Ale) . The taste was good, scotch flavor was there, one drink was enough. read more

Have been coming here consistently since 2015 and have never really been disappointed here! It's on the Miracle Mile right next door/connected to Whirlow's, and parking is easiest either right out front or in the back parking lot connected to the back entrance of Whirlow's. After living in Portland for a while I really appreciate the free parking on Stockton's miracle mile LOL. Taps features a rotating menu of beers from all over (Firestone, Deschutes, etc.) but I think their specialty is featuring a bunch of beers from Highwater Brewing (eg. their campfire stout will always always be forever on the menu). The beers are reasonably priced, like $7 each, and the space is pretty chill with a combo of tall/short tables and booths. TVs at the bar area if you want to watch the game. It's a pretty small space, but it never gets overwhelmingly crowded (unless there's a local who's having a fat birthday party pregame there or something). Every time I've gone the service isn't terrible, I know some of the bartenders have left recently to work at other places like Channel. Overall it's a good place to go if you want a wide variety to please everyone in your friend group (they have some ciders on tap too), and there's special days like Firestone takeover where they serve a bunch of beers from one brewery. Flights or pints available, and you're welcome to order fries or food from Whirlows next door and just bring it over to the Taps side. I like it when there's live music playing on the Whirlows stage and you can see/hear it from the Taps side. The only things that don't make it a 5 star: - there's a single stall bathroom and sometimes it just is super nasty when I go in there - For a taproom it closes kind of early on weekdays and weekends read more

Stay away from here...nothing to see or drink. Beer selection is horrible. Only 28 taps and a couple in the cooler. Firestone, Deschutes, The Bruery and Highwater bombers. Strike that, reverse it 'cause this is the best place outside of Sacramento! read more

Excellent selection of beer and good atmosphere. Connected to Whirlow's if you want something to eat. I got a pint of Sudwerk's 3 Best Friends beer, which has a vanilla coffee flavor. read more

Taps Barrel House - Sudwerk's 3 Best Friends - Pubs Near Me - Stockton, California

So I'm giving this place 4 stars. so i took the GF out to check some sights in Stockton. This was our first stop, as we walked in we noticed a very nice and large variety of beer selections on the wall. I ordered a blonde to start off and then I got a "flight" and picked four. All the beers I picked(see photo) were very good. The guys behind the bar were very cool and helpful, I really enjoyed this place. If you want food you have to go next door and order food to bring into the bar. Basically next door is a restaurant with a live band and that's also where you order wine if you want some. We really enjoyed this bar. It's in a very nice section of Stockton that was very pleasant to walk around in. If you are looking for a nice place in Stockton to enjoy a few new styles of beers then this is the place for you. I would totally retry the cucumber kolsch. Amazing beer that pairs with just about everything. read more

I'm in town for the New Years and was surprised to find out that this place opened up recently. It replaced the old froyo place but shares a space with Whirlows. The place itself if quite large and clean. They have a mixture of tables, booths, and bar seats. They also have a great selection on tap ranging from local Stockton breweries, Drakes, and Ace. I tried the pineapple hard cider and it was tasty! Would recommend trying it if you're not in the mood for a stout (although the smores stout was yummy as well). I enjoyed the fact that they had an area where you could get games to play at your table such as jenga and chess. They even have a life sized jenga to play in the back near the claw machine. Another plus of this place is the fact that since it shares a space with Whirlows you can enjoy the live music playing across the way! The only negative was that they have one single bathroom so the line can get long. Pretty sure you can head over to the Whirlows area if you don't want to wait though. read more

This was a disappointing set up with little help from the beertender to get us rolling. Add to that the fact that they couldn't accept their own gift cards and the visit was less than scintillating. While the beers themselves are fine, the clunky ordering beer on one side and food in the adjoining Whirlows is just a good reason to try the downtown location. read more

What a cool bar! Came here last week with a couple of friends and loved my experience here. One of my friends told me that there is other bars named Taps that are a chain, but I do believe that this location is unique, as in this is one of a kind. This bar/restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere and a modern/hipster interior, and I loved the fact that it was so clean. We ordered two samplers, which are very reasonably priced at a flight of four beers for $8, and the beers were great! I believe the drinks change pretty frequently, but some of my favorites were the High Water Nitro-campfire stout, the Rogue Hazelnut, and the Mraz Lemon Drop. If you are a bourbon fan, there was one we had from Anderson Valley that was very good as well. Whirlow's is right next door, and it was great that we could order food and have it brought to our table. We were also able to listen to the live music next door, but it did get a little loud at one point. Nevertheless, I am definitely coming back! read more

Since I only drink "whalez bro" the tap selection was just ok. I'm use to going to places with rare limited beers, but I guess this is good just for Stockton. I'd rather go to a place with 5 taps of delicious rare beer than go to a place with 28 taps of mediocre beer. I'll keep checking in to see how the rotation goes. The decor is lacking and I felt like I was at a cheap cafe than a pub/taproom. The lighting was way too bright and needed to be toned down a bit. The furniture seems like the same stuff next door at Whirlows, but it's been awhile since I've been in there, so I could be wrong. It just doesn't feel right sipping and dissecting my beer in there.

This is a great tap house with good people working behind the bar. Stopped in for my first time about a week ago and was a bit hesitant at first but now I have really warmed up to the place. There is a kitchen next door to get food (BBQ, sandwiches and salads) and the bar has a great selection of beers that looks to be revolving quite often. Good place if you are in Stockton and need a good watering hole. read more

I was in town with my girlfriend and decided to stop by....... I have been to multiple breweries in San Leandro, Oakland, and Alameda. BY FAR this place tops the rest off! Our host Taylor was amazing and we'll experienced! She had the best recommendations and was extremely kind and welcoming. They have a HUGE SELECTION of very amazing craft beer! This place is a very cozy, comfortable establishment! Truly amazing to say the least. Normal beer will never be the same again....... Do yourself this once in a life favor, and try this place! read more

It's hard to believe we have so many selections right here in Stockton. This place has the best beer on tap in town. I was very impressed with the knowledge of the bartenders and the variety of beers. It's connected to Whirlow's so so you can get food as well. I hope they get a few sour ales on tap:-) Thank you for opening in town!!! read more

I was working in the area & decided to stop in. 28 taps, nice selection. Not a big fan of High Water brewing, but these guys are their unofficial taproom so about half the beers are theirs. The other selections available more than made up for any concern I might have had. The bartender, Chandler.....I mean Ryan (you'll get this joke if you go there), was great, pours a fine pint and runs a tight ship. read more

Taps is pretty new to Stockton apparently but they get high marks from me for the great selection of regional beers, very reasonable pricing ($8 for a flight of four beers) and friendly service. My fiends and I each ordered a flight with a sampling of the Highwater beers they had on tap. There are, I believe, a total of 28 well-selected beers on tap and I highly recommend the Campfire Stout. There's an attached sit-down grill/restaurant next door you can order from or easily move over to for a meal. We didn't get to sample any of the food, but it's definitely a plus being that close to food! If you're in Stockton and you like beer, Taps is a must. read more

Taps Barrel House - $8 flights and a long list of beers on tap! - Pubs Near Me - Stockton, California

Jacob was great! Very knowledgeable about the beer selection and he can salsa,too! This is mostly a younger group of people that are having a good time. This building is divided that on one side is a large beer selection on tap that the selections on written in chalk on a huge board. Mostly people are standing around but there are seats. Then you can walk over to the other side and there is a band and you can order food. So if you drink too much put some food in your tummy before you leave. That way maybe you won't have a hangover also drink a big glass of water! I was deciding if I should have another beer and He heard that I was the driver. He poured me a glass of ice cold water! Thank you Jacob! I was driving my friends car and I already told her I'd be the designated driver. read more

SO glad we stumbled into this place! We had a blast tasting different craft brews. My husband is even interested in purchasing a franchise. Haha. Their technology rocks! Pouring your own beer from your table is really fun. I just wish I would have sat at an IPA table instead of the Stella table. Oh well, therSO glad we stumbled into this place!

I just wish I would have sat at an IPA table instead of the Stella table. Oh well, there's always next time! Oops, apparently their are 2 different businesses named Taps in Stockton, and I reviewed the wrong one. I think the only fair thing to do is to also visit this location and update my review. read more

Solid beer choices here and plenty of seating. The bottle selection was also among the best I've seen around. It had a bunch of non-standard beers that are harder to find, including quite a few sours. The bartender was friendly and helpful with making beer choices. The food was from the attached restaurant, and it was pretty good. The Sandwiches were solid. I've had better, but then again they weren't typically attached to places with 28 taps, so that bumps it a notch lol. read more

Great selection of local craft beers and a great food selection from the Whirlow's Restaurant which is attached in the adjoining building. Lots of great local music on a regular basis. read more

An awesome new addition to the Miracle Mile. I tried Highwater's Ramble on Rose Sour, which was in limited supply, I heard. Loved that they feature a wide variety of local/west coast breweries, including Highwater, Dust Bowl, Alpine Beer Co., Heretic, Tap-It, Tioga Sequoia, Drake's, Almanac, & Knee Deep - among others. Great ambience and location, with weekly shows next door at Whirlow's. Can't wait to check out their taplist regularly! read more

Great place!! Great atmosphere, beer, people. Overall great place! Local and non local beers on tap. If you're hungry, you can order food from right next door at Whirlows. The food is delicious! There's a live band at least 4 times a week! If you're in Stockton, stop by and have a cold one! read more

I love this place!! This is my favorite place to check out local beer without getting a super loud bar feeling whether it be the people in the bar or the music. It's a great place to catch up over a flight of cool beers with a friend. If you're into beer flights for a good price, stop by! It's also connected to Whirlows which does classic American food and sometimes features a jazz band. read more

Great beer selection. This place features a large selection of beers from High Water Brewing in addition to many other local and regional breweries. They make sure to have many different styles on tap so whatever your taste you should be able to find something. Food can be ordered at Whirlow's next door as they are the same owners. The food can be brought out to Taps when it's ready. read more

Great selection of beers at reasonable prices! The bottle selection continues to grow

I usually would leave a 5 star review for Taps but the last few times we have been there we have been disappointed. Tonight there were 6 beers on the list that they were out of. Normally when they run out of al beer they change it right away. The bartenders seemed more interested in talking to their friends than helping customers. They have now started doing last call at 10 when it used to be closer to 11 although the bartender kept serving beer to her friends way after 10. read more

Absolutely love this place! Since the day I've stepped foot to grab a beer the owner remembered me. The other bartenders are extremely friendly and helpful! Can't even begin on how delicious the beers are here, I typically shoot for a dark and tasty stout which never disappoints. Friendly beer connoisseurs makes for a perfect pour. To add to this it's connected to whirlows which most nights has live music at night, so you can enjoy a delicious beer and a great burger to match it. You won't be disappointed. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! The people behind the bar know us by name and are so damn friendly and helpful. It's a fun chill spot almost always with live music next door as well as great food. Fun little game section and all in all just a great hangout spot. Nice outdoors tables for warm weather. Amazing beer. Not once have I had anything less than a great time here. Best beer joint in town! Trust me I'm a regular read more

Not open today, Labor Day, although it says open here. Hmmm.... frustrating when businesses don't update hours.

Stopped in for a beer while waiting for a Uber. Had a beer and calamari was sooooo good! Nice and crispy, very good flavor! Atmosphere was nice, there was a lot of people but service was fast! read more

This a good place in town to sample different beers. Around 30+ beers to choose from. The majority is from Highwater Brewing but that's not a bad thing. The Campfire Stout is fantastic! They do rotate them every week so usually Thurs/Fri you'll see some new ones including some limited brews. Also a beer flight is $8 for 4 samples. Not bad at all. The decor could use some changing and dim the lighting but they can change it over time. Check them out! read more

Good beer but not serves. It hot inside they only had fans no AC. The place looks nice. There is tables but you have to order your beer at the bar and pick it up from there. Won't go agin. read more

I come here at least 3 times a week. Service is always great and the crowd isn't ever too bad. 80% of the time there is live music, how can you not like that. Not to mention you can order food next door at Whirlows, and their food is on point. For sure a spot to try if you're in the area read more

They always have a great selection of rotating beers on tap. It's easy to get food next door to bring it over. This place always has a chill vibe and is nice to hag out and chat with friends without being too loud or crazy. read more
