Excellent food, great service. Very clean as well. Worth the stop on are drive back to MA.

Loved everything about it, especially the conversation and recommendations from our bartender Courtney.

Taps is a small but power packed place to hang out, have some drinks and decent food. When we first read it as being an elevated pub cuisine, the question was what is elevated about pub cuisine?? Taps is the place for it. The menu is simple but very well made, few ingredients, good quality. After a long day of hiking or just walking around, recommend to come here for the evening. read more

It was a busy night in the bar area but with a little patience we found a perfect place to settle in for a hamburger and few drinks! Excellent spot to catch up with friends and share some old stories and many laughs - highly recommend. read more

Very very expensive for what you get.. We had fish and chips. They were very small portions, 1 Tablespoon of awful coleslaw,, over cooked fried fish (had a hard time cutting it), waitress dropped it at the table never came back to see how our food was. Not friendly at all. Brought us our check, we paid and will never go back there again. Don't waste your money. read more

Was in the area and happened across this place. So glad we gave it a try. Phenomenal food and service. This place is worth driving out of your way. read more

My fiancee and I have been here several times, both for drinks and for dinner. The first time we came for drinks we sat at the bar, and had excellent service, just ordering a few of the beers they had on tap - bar service were very friendly and chatted with us about the baseball games that were on. Second time we came for food around 7pm on a weeknight, we had to wait about 20 minutes with seemingly no one available. It seemed to me that a number of tables had recently left and they did not have sufficient waitstaff to handle the turnover of the tables. We were seated wait approximately five minutes until the server appeared, and we then ordered cocktails, which took about 10 minutes to arrive. The server apologized for the delay, though the cocktails were excellent. We ordered food at the same time - burgers for both of us - along with an additional beer for myself. The food was excellent as well as the cocktails, but the service experience we had slightly marred our second visit to the restaurant. read more

Surprisingly large number of gluten free options. Fish tacos are a must! For non GF, fish and chips are tasty!

A solid 4 for a very good lunch. Staffing seemed a bit thin, but our waitress worked hard to cover a bunch of tables. Excellent salads and drinks, and a pleasant setting in the heart of downtown Lexington. read more

My partner and I had just gotten into town after a long drive from Philly and hardly anything was still open to get a bite at 9pm! Fortunately, TAPS was. We both got burgers, which were fantastic, and we each got a drink which we also enjoyed. There seemed to be a rehearsal dinner of sorts in the bar area, which is open to the dining room, so it was quite loud while we were eating - no fault of the establishment, we still enjoyed our late-night dinner! read more

This place is great! We sat outside in the shade and had the chicken and waffles and the chicken pesto sandwich. YUM! The waffle is the best I've ever had and the French fries are super thin and crispy! Beautiful place and great food! read more

Absolutely spectacular. Service wonderful. Food worth the trip all the way from Richmond. Made our day coming here. read more

The drinks we ordered were very good. I was surprised at the creativity of the drink menu. Our food was also very good (but maybe a little overpriced). Burger for me and Cobb salad with salmon for my mother. Would recommend both! I would recommend TAPS if you're looking for a solid American food restaurant with very good drinks. read more

Let me start by explaining that this rating was based on two visits both on a busy Friday night and relaxed Monday evening. The fireplace and plush chairs make for what is already a small, intimate experience. Like the restaurant itself, the menu is concise but appeases a wide range of needs. I was impressed with my dishes on both occasions and would definitely recommend the fried oysters along with a burger or sandwich. Equally if not more impressive is the specialty cocktail menu and the curated selection of beers. However, don't get your hopes up because you won't get to experience more than two drinks. This is the part of the review where this establishment earns its 2 stars. While the service is very friendly you will only see that smile every once in a blue moon as the waitstaff is extremely lean. Given the cost of a meal after you factor in the 11.5% combined VA and Lexington tax you'd expect more attentive service. In fact, my party was not even served waters on my second visit. Perhaps the biggest faux pau was the empty martini glass sitting in front of me for 20 minutes. I'm no restaurant owner but anyone can do the math and see that there easily could have been 1-2 additional drinks per person given the occasion we celebrating that night. read more

Highly recommend if you want to meet someone for nice drinks. The atmosphere is relaxed and high class. The cocktails all range about $10 but they are delicious. I love the general (cucumber, vodka, etc) and I love the lex vegas (champagne, vodka, etc). Their food menu is very small so if you only want food, id go somewhere else but for drinks and apps it's perfect. Sometimes they have wings on special, they are fantastic. Their fries with home made wine ketchup are DELICIOUS! read more

Beautiful venue! We ate outside on the porch and throrou enjoyed the views. Incredibly attentive staff. Terrific burger! Will definitely return! read more

Tonight was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Our waitress was Paola, upon first greeting she said nothing but "are you ready to order" No "good evening" or "how are you all". We obviously weren't ready so we ordered drinks. They came and our son's milk was filled MAYBE 1/4 full, ok so maybe they don't want kids to spill etc (but we were charged $4 for maybe a 1/2 cup of milk...that's ridiculous). We ordered one chicken and waffles, 2 burgers and one chicken sandwich. Somehow Paola rang one of the burgers in as plain ‍ she didn't ask how we wanted them done and the chicken sandwich was so dry I couldn't eat it. We were never checked on after the food was delivered until she came to pick everything up. It was almost comical how bad the service was especially given how small the place is, the food was also not very good. Definitely will be avoiding this place in the future. read more

This is a bar located downtown on the main street. The food is bar food. So-so. Be aware that the noise level in the bar room itself is astonishing. It was a little unclear when we came in who would seat us. read more

Big city plush on Main Street Lexington - TAPS take the high quality experience at Haywood's and miniaturizes it for a varied crowd of young professors, Shenandoah Valley weekenders and parents/alumni of the local schools. A narrow, well-cultivated tap list compliments a limited, tasteful menu with enough wine and cocktail options to please any palate. The cocktails are locally themed (the General, Marshall, Keydet, New Market and Lex-Vegas...plus a Liquid Lunch bloody mary) and an order off the dessert menu is great with selections like warm chocolate chip cookies with milk or flourless chocolate cake topped with berries and whipped cream. Pure Eats down the street has an exclusive focus on burgers in a more casual environment, but the Buffalo Creek beef offering here is taken to the next level with bacon-onion jam and pimento cheese. I am a particular fan of the comfortable seating although I will admit that the lounge area is better for a date, rather than a group of four. Happy Hour is certainly worth a visit and there are seats at the bar. The room has seating for around 20 people or so, which means the intimate environment can fill up quickly and get a little loud on busy weekends, but the soft surfaces make it a great place to be, no matter the night. TAPS isn't the least expensive option in town, but if you are looking for something a step above the Palms (which is a great experience ever since the owners of Byers Street Bistro took over) and not quite as elevated at Red Hen (perhaps the best restaurant in town), TAPS is your place! read more

Friendly service, cozy atmosphere, good sandwiches. Dips for the chips and dip are fresh. Bartender doubles as a ghostbuster for hotel guests complaining about weird noises. read more

Nasty! The fish and chips no longer resembled such. Deep fried so long and maybe not hot oil that is was nothing but mush. We ordered four orders of fish all nasty and the fries tasted as if they were made yesterday and reheated today. Not at all willing to address or fix the problem read more

Chicken Pesto Sandwich and Flatbread Pizza were delicious. Very nice place for lunch in Lexington. Okay

Went to Taps last night and had a rough experience. It was a disorganized, chaotic mess! The place was busy but we were quickly seated at a two top. We quickly had our water glasses filled by a nice young man and it was nearly 20 minutes later before anyone came to our table. We were just getting ready to leave when a server came up and ask if we had been helped. She said she could take care of us! She took our drink orders, it took about 10 minutes to get them and they were very good! Our dinner order was taken about that time. 15-20 minutes later the server came back to ask if we had gotten our food! No! She said she would go check on it. That was the last time we saw her all evening until it was time to pay! I had to go get the hostess finally to get our check so we could leave! Our server finally brought it to us, she never ask how our. meal was, if we needed/wanted anything else, nothing! The food was mediocre at best! We paid cash as they were having POS trouble and it was quicker! We could not get out of the soon enough! then drinks were the highlight! read more

Homemade cookies and milk?! Yes please. Everything was delicious: we had chili, veggie burger, fish and chips and wings (wings were amazing). Least fave was burger, (maybe the onion pickling didnt come through?), but also I wished I had tried something more unusual like the tacos, which it seemed like everyone in the restaurant got, or salmon. read more

TAPS - Pubs Near Me - Lexington, Virginia

The draft beers were good, but the food was mediocre and the dining area was understaffed, so attention at the table was rushed.

This is for the bar. Cute little place for a cocktail. Great drinks and nice waitresses. Very old Virgina like. Cannot speak to food.

Very disappointing. We were the only guests in dining room for lunch when we arrived but service was still very slow. I ordered a glass of wine and was surprised at how skimpy the pour was. In this day of Covid most restaurants are using single use menus made on copy machine. This is what we were given but it was obviously used more than once because it was wrinkled and had remnants of food that had been wiped off. Come on -how much does a single piece of paper cost so you can give a guest a clean menu? But the worst was the food. I had the fish and chips. Fish was good but fries were limp and barely cooked. The slaw was in a teeny tiny dish and was maybe three bites. My husband ordered the fried chicken and waffles. Waffles were rather limp rather than crispy and chicken not done. When we got the server's attention my husband told her his chicken was underdone. The server argued with him and claimed it was not under cooked and that the pink was from the sauce but it was definitely under cooked chicken. Finally she picked up his plate and walked off with it. We sat there another 10 minutes wondering if they were making him another lunch. The server finally came to our table, dropped our bill on the table, told us they had removed the chicken from our bill and walked off. All in all not what we had expected. The reason for the two instead of a one, is TAPS does have a lovely English pub style ambiance. read more

Wonderful Sophisticated Setting with very good food and mediocre service. Who would have thought under the stairway in this nondescript and ugly building would be this wonderful gem of a gathering place. Comfortable and inviting like visiting a friend's living room. We had the steak sandwich and the gyro. Both were very good and the fries were excellent. The service was mediocre at best. It was not overly busy but the waitress seemed flustered and inexperienced. Will glady try again. read more

Great place in town. Bill, the bartender is one of the top bartenders you could have in any part of the country, Chicken and waffles are a must try! Go Generals! read more

I ordered the Cobb salad and it is the best Cobb salad I ever had. Price is good too and the menu is kind of limited with a longer alcohol menu. The restaurant is really cute but extremely loud. read more

I enjoyed dinner and a glass of wine by the fire place. Burger was really decent - the students I met at W & L recommended it as best burger in town. I liked the homemade chocolate chip cookies better than the burger, though!! Yumz. read more

Was excited to try after reading the reviews. We sat on the patio with our two dogs and were looking for a place to eat on our trip where we could have them with us. They did bring bowls of water for the pups. The food was just okay. I had fish and chips. And my husband had the burger At the recommendation of the waitress. Service was incredibly slow. We had to ask for drink refills after the waitress kept passing without stopping. Not sure we will be back. read more

We eat here for lunch several days a week, the food is delicious and the service is so quick and super friendly. Lots to choose from for lunch options and you can get in and out in plenty of time to enjoy your meal! read more

. Great place. Food service and atmosphere is great. Ordered one of the nights special which was fried clams over a pickled slaw. Excellent! The clams were fried perfectly and tender. Shared a caprese pizza and that too was very good. We had a special cocktail called Lex Vegas. Loved it. read more

From the drinks to the food one word... AMAZING . The flatbread pizza and the fish and chips were amazing! I tried the "wedding bells drink " lavender lemonade with vodka and it was life changing . read more

do not recommend!!! My father in-law was throwing up all night from the chicken dish. All the others in our party all agreed the food was inedible. We're all stunned by the rave reviews...if you do go, just proceed with caution and Imodium AD. (we were there mid-December 2019) read more

Would have liked to give it a star, but since we were seated in a room and not once asked if we wanted a water or a drink menu in over ten minutes of being there. There was only one other couple there so they were not at all busy... Was recommended by the helpful lady at the tourist center but unfortunately it must have been a bad day for the multiple employees who ignored us while they talked about the next day's reservations. Over all not a way to make a good first impression. Applebee's it is! read more

Taps was cozy and intimate, beautiful decor. Bill, the bartender, was attentive and mixed great drinks. Definitely, stop in.

I have nothing negative to say about this place. The service was great, the food was great, ambiance was great, and all for a reasonable price. Ordered the burger and the chicken pesto sandwich; both far exceeded my expectations. I don't even like burgers usually but I could have eaten three of these. Their red wine ketchup was also amazing. Definitely give this place a try if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed. read more

One of the best Old Fashions I've had in a long time. They have a great regular menu, however you don't want to miss the specials!
