We've always loved The Brass Tap in Corona. The staff is amazing, the food is great, and we've had so many fun nights there. We will absolutely continue coming back, just unfortunately not as often as we used to. We were regular Thursday night customers because we absolutely loved Music Bingo. My husband, my two daughters, and I would come together as a family almost every Thursday. It became something we genuinely looked forward to each week. Thursdays used to be packed, sometimes so crowded that it was hard to find a seat. There was such a fun atmosphere, with different tables bantering with each other, laughing, competing, and getting into the music. We enjoyed it so much that we even brought prizes for the host to give away. It was more than just playing bingo; it was the whole experience and energy of the night. Unfortunately, since the new Music Bingo host took over, the experience has completely changed. We even tried talking to him about it, and he told us that as long as he is running Music Bingo, he will never use the app and will continue doing everything on paper. He uses the same card for the entire two-hour game, which means that even if you arrive late, you essentially have no chance of winning. That takes away a huge part of what made the game exciting and competitive. I do want to be fair and say that we know he also hosts trivia on Tuesdays, and we actually like his approach to trivia. His style seems to work well for that format. Unfortunately, that same approach just doesn't seem to vibe with Music Bingo. Music Bingo needs a different kind of energy, interaction, and flair, and sadly, that has been missing. The host has also been rude to us when we've tried to discuss our concerns, which has made the experience even less enjoyable. The difference in the Thursday night atmosphere is very noticeable. Thursdays used to be packed and full of energy, and now the place is often nearly empty. The fun atmosphere and camaraderie we used to look forward to are simply gone. We understand that he runs the game on his own and is entitled to run it how he wants. At the end of the day, though, the format and the overall vibe have changed enough that our family no longer wants to make Thursday nights a regular part of our week. That's especially disappointing because this was something all four of us genuinely enjoyed doing together. We are still giving The Brass Tap five stars because the restaurant itself, the food, and the rest of the staff have always been fantastic. We will definitely come back for those things. We just won't be coming back as often for Music Bingo. Hopefully, at some point, Music Bingo can become the fun, lively, interactive experience it used to be. We would love to have a reason to look forward to Thursday nights again. read more

Stopped by the place for lunch with a friend and was definitely impressed with the selection of beers on tap. They definitely have a variety. I usually like wheat beers. The one I wanted, they ran out, but they had a weihenstephaner hefeweissbier which is usually a go to and a chocolate hef. The chocolate hef was definitely unique. Came in during a world up game and had plenty of TVs to watch the games. The first bartender that served us wasn't very nice or talkative, but the second one was the one that gave me a taster of the chocolate hef. He was nice and checked on me and my friend the whole time we were there. It is a big space and plenty of seating. They had a good menu for lunch and dinner and good specials for happy hour. I tried out the blackened cod fish tacos which isn't on the happy hour menu but it was okay. Overall, it was good and would come back again. read more

Always a good stop for great food in a neat little vibe. Drink selection is decent sized, lots of beers on tap. Watermelon margarita, thumbs up! Surprisingly, the pizza was actually really good. I didn't expect that from Brass Tap. In addition, I got the new Asian BBQ crispy chicken sandwich and it was delicious. read more

Quick stop for a bite to eat. Tried the wing basket. The wings were a decent size and were amply coated. (I tried rhe Ragin Cajun rub and the Buffalo. The basket comes with fries and a side of cole slaw and celery. The cole slaw was just okay but the overall offering was good. I would order again. My waiter was very nice and checked on me regularly. The service was quick. There are TVs on every wall, including the outside patio. This is a good place to watch a game. read more

The chicken was delicious the chips Crispy, the cheese melted just perfect. The burgers juicy and flavorful. If you haven't been to the Brass Tap , you should most definitely do so! read more

I was really disappointed with the chilaquiles. If you're expecting traditional chilaquiles, this isn't it. It was basically tortilla chips topped with canned green sauce, dry shredded pork, and a fried egg. The only thing I ended up eating was the egg--which made it feel like a very expensive $19 breakfast. To make matters worse, the guacamole tasted sour, like it had gone bad. Overall, the meal was not worth the price, and I wouldn't order it again. read more

I visited this spot two days in a row. It's been on my list for quite a while and my first visit was so solid I went back the next day. The service on my first visit was so friendly and prompt during the Saturday night rush. The place was full and the live music was fun to listen to. We ordered a few ciders & seltzers along with wings and onion rings. I enjoyed both very much. The Cajun rub wings were so very good. The honey bbq wings were good too. The garlic fries were okay..I wouldn't upgrade to that option again tho. The onion rings are beer battered and delicious. The next day I went back for football Sunday and it was the complete opposite vibe. Slow and calm. The service was okay and the food was good. I got the breakfast burrito which was okay. We got to watch the first games there too . Excellent location, easy parking & great vibes! They also have trivia nights and great happy hour options during the week. Definitely recommend checking it out. read more

This is my second time here. First time, the experience was ok. Food and drinks were mid so when our friends wanted to come here for lunch, we were already hesitant but decided to come back to check it out again before posting a review. Came here with friends during lunch hour & got some items from the "lunch deals" section. For the lunch deals, we got the 2 chicken tacos, which comes with chips & salsa. There was a decent amount of chips and salsa and the tacos were a good size & had good flavors. 8/10 for the chicken tacos. My friend got the traditional wings (6 piece) lunch deal which comes with a side of fries & celery. The sizes of the wings look decent & she enjoyed the meal. Our party also got the steak tacos & steak nachos. This time, there was a decent amount of steak on the nachos and it paired perfectly with everything. The first time we came here and we got the nachos during our last visit, there was barely any steak on the nachos so I'm glad they corrected it and making it better. 8/10 for the nachos. Drinks: my group mainly got beer so they were all good & happy with it. I wanted a margarita flight and well, that was pretty disappointing. It was supposed to be 4 different flavors/drinks with tequila. But where was the tequila? I felt that they should've been upfront with it on the menu and called it a mocktail or something because when we didn't taste any tequila in it, we asked the waitress & she mentioned to us that there is only 1 shot of tequila for the whole flight...like what?! That flight cost $20 so you're telling me I'm basically buying $20 worth of juice since the tequila is non-existent?! That was truly disappointing to hear & even the waitress said she would never recommend the flight because of it and it wasn't fun to make. So do better Brass Tap, either add more tequila to your flight to make it actually worth $20 or just remove it all together from your menu. Deceiving & a total waste. 0/10 for the flight. Thankfully the waitress removed it from our bill without issue & got me the watermelon margarita to replace it. Much better and you can taste some tequila in it (not much but a lot more than what was sprinkled onto the flight). 6/10 for the watermelon drink. Overall the service is decent and the space is decent for small groups. There's seating at the bar area and tables inside and outside. Decor was typical for these type of place. Plenty of parking as well. Will I be back? Maybe if drinks are better. read more

Last night a group of us went to the Brass Tap. We chose to sit outside since we were a bit of a large group. There was live music inside, but thankfully, the speakers outdoors allowed us all the enjoyment while we relaxed, drank, and dined al fresco. The Brass Tap is unique in that, even though it specializes in beer, it has a full bar and serves restaurant quality food. I appreciated the variety of the menu because it offered so much more than what a typical brewery would and broader than food truck options. Even though the place was hopping, our waitress visited us often and was attentive. Our food came out a bit at a time, but was hot and we each enjoyed our orders. Surprisingly, it was better than just decent bar food, which is what I kinda expected. The Brass Tap shows it can be all things: a great gathering place for entertainment, drinks, and good food! read more

I was in the area and decided to try this spot. It's been on my list of places to try for a while. Glad I stopped by. The staff are friendly and helpful when you request a suggestion. Restrooms are clean and the atmosphere is pretty chill. The beer may be the main attraction but the food is good too. I really like that they have a wide variety of hard liquor, beer and non alcoholic drinks available. My server was on her way out so I got transferred to Bree- who is a sweet and professional woman. Really happy I stopped by. It's now one of my favorite spots. Definitely coming back. read more

My husband and I stopped in for some wings and a quick drink right before Christmas. The ambiance is fun and lively. We sat at the bar top. The cute sign out front encouraged me to order the special strawberry drink. It was great. My husband had some type of cider or seltzer. He enjoyed it. The wings were delicious. We would come back and try more food. read more

Good food, cold beer and a cool environment. Service was quick also. We like stopping here when we are in the area.

Love the atmosphere, came here 3x for food and beer! Husband loves the specialty beer and the waitress was kind enough to reconfirm we wanted it since it was priced at $75 a bottle. Burgers are always cooked to medium rare, got to love the slight pink inside and super juicy. This local joint is way better than larger restaurants nearby with burgers and beer. It's on the smaller side but staff is so welcoming and kind. The chef always cooks great food. Multiple large screens playing different football, baseball and basketball games! Definitely will come back soon! read more

We were here for brunch & had mostly vegetarian dishes. Our order was Brussels sprouts, buffalo cauliflowers, Impossible burger, Mac & cheese and strawberry beer. Everything tasted good, especially the cauliflower. The only thing I'd suggest is to make the sauce for Mac & cheese less salty, but other than that I'd love to come back again. They have patio so you can bring your dog too. read more

Food was good. Good portion and reasonable price for happy hour. Good amount of selections on beers. Ask servers for happy hours. I believe it is Monday through Friday start at 3 or 4 pm. read more

We came here for the first time and, although it was busy, we were able to find a place to sit. Our waitress was very pleasant and took our order right away. My husband ordered the All-American Burger, which was just okay, and I ordered the two steak tacos along with our drinks. Our waitress apologized for the delay, and we completely understood since the restaurant was busy. My husband eventually received his burger, but my tacos never came. When I asked about them, she checked with the kitchen and apologized again, explaining that they were behind. However, it was frustrating to watch several tables that arrived after us receive their food while I continued waiting. I only ordered two steak tacos, yet I waited at least 40 minutes for them. When my tacos finally arrived, they were made with flour tortillas even though I had specifically requested corn tortillas. Our waitress felt terrible about the mistake and even comped my husband's beer, which I appreciated. She provided excellent service and did everything she could. The problem was clearly with the kitchen and how orders were being handled. Unfortunately, this experience was unacceptable. Waiting over 40 minutes for two tacos, only to receive them incorrectly, while watching other guests who arrived later get served first, left a very poor impression. Although our waitress was great, this was our first visit and it will definitely be our last. We will not be returning. read more

This spot was cool, first come first served. Small bar and loud. Definitely a place to watch sports.

We went in for brunch and it was pretty lackluster. The food was "meh", not bad, but certainly not what we'd consider good. There was no wait, which was nice, we were quite literally the only customers there. Having said that, we all felt like our waitress could have been more attentive since she had no other tables. Maybe the food is better for lunch/dinner. I'd never go back for breakfast. read more

This place was just okay. It was not super amazing or anything like that. It does deserve another try. The food was mediocre and not anything that pounces out at me. I would have to go again to see if this was just a one time deal. It's just a regular bar to me with a lot of beer. It is truly for someone who like IPA. I am more of a cocktail type of girl. The drinks have to be as tasty as the food or even better for me to want to go back. read more

Came into The Brass Tap and sat at the bar for about 15 minutes. The bartender never acknowledged us or took our order. It got so ridiculous that I literally had to call the restaurant while sitting at the bar just to order drinks and get served. Completely unacceptable service. If the bar is open, customers shouldn't be ignored. Garbage experience. read more

I went here with my friends and we had a great time. The food and drinks were delicious. Our server Josh was amazing! Not only does he have a great personality but also took such great care of us. Had our friends laughing all night. 10/10 would come again and definitely asking for Josh to help us again! read more

Cool small place that includes multiple TV playing in front of the bar. It has a lot of cool variety beer on tap as well as a big selection of alcohol (bourbons, scotch, whiskey, tequila, gin, vodka, wine). I missed happy hr which was during 3-6pm on a weekday. But all the prices were reasonable regardless .. comparing to OC and LA prices that is. Paid $10 for a cocktail whereas other places may be charging $15+. Though, I gotta say the drinks were small. We asked for a whiskey pour neat, and it was such a small pour - probably a three quarters shot. My strawberry basil mule was tasty but it was in such a small cup with a bunch of ice and little-to-no alcohol. Kbbq nachos and wings were both really good! Nachos I've tried were typically pretty heavy but this one was enjoyable since it was light, not too salty and cheesy- exactly what I like. Wings were fresh and hot too. Would come back to try their others things on the menu! read more

At first glance the place looks popular and the ambiance is very basic but it works as a chill hangout to go for with a friend for some drinks and a great pizza. It also looked family friendly since people did bring their kids. The server was friendly and offered more than was on the menu. The drinks were delicious, you couldn't taste alcohol which a food cocktail shouldn't however after my 3rd drink I didn't feel anything and as a lightweight that made me feel like they lowballed on the alcohol. The hot honey pepperoni pizza was probably one of the best I've had in a while, it was savory with hints of sweetness from the honey and the spiciness doesn't build, I haven't tried other food items but this will be my new Pizza and Beer go to place after a long day of work. Enjoy! read more

Was a late night for the kids and I. Wife was out of town and we just got done with a baseball game! Needed fuel! Came here and enjoyed the classic crispy chicken sandwich! I got the wings! Everything was great. Service was okay...seemed a bit robotic on how the servers did their walks around the floor but it wasn't consistent with the flow of tables! Maybe it was busier than expected that night. Ambiance was cool, food was good and I appreciate the hours of operation! See u guys again! read more

We haven't been here in a while, everything has been greatly improved. Food choices and service. Located on a busy shopping center. Like the breading on the chicken it's not too thick.

Great menu options for a bar. Drinks are tasty and kids are welcome! Will be back for sure.

Ehh, mediocre at best. We ordered the hot honey pizza, pretzel with cheese sauce and wings. The pizza and pretzel were lukewarm warm. The pizza tasted like something I'd buy from the frozen section of a grocery store. Pretzel would have been good if the cheese sauce was hot. Wings were good. Crispy and hot. Service was just ok. We sat waiting for a refill, which never came, for 10 minutes after we finished eating. Had to ask for the check. The bartenders service is probably fine normally, but he was busy chatting with a couple at the bar. Not the end of the world. I'd probably go back for a beer and an appetizer, no meal. It just didn't do it for me. Nice atmosphere to get a drink after work, but if you are looking for a hot/delicious meal, this is not the place read more

Came in for some drinks with a friend and honestly the night started strong. Our first bartender was ON IT super attentive, friendly, and kept everything moving. My friend ordered the pretzel and it was actually really good, soft and buttery, total win. BUT... once she left, the vibe changed real quick. The guy bartender who took over was way more invested in the game than, you know... doing his actual job. We kept having to flag him down for refills like we were invisible. I get wanting to watch the score, but sir... please multitask.Still giving 4 stars because the first bartender carried, the food was solid, and the place itself is fun just pray you get the good bartender and not Mr. ESPN. read more

I recently discovered The Brass Tap in Corona to check out their late night happy hour and I was pleasantly impressed with their service, food quality, and interactive experiences. Let's be real, it's hard to make normal 3-6pm Happy Hours with weekly responsibilities, so I really appreciate that The Brass Tap took it upon themselves to offer a late night happy hour Sunday-Thursday from 9pm to close (midnight). Service was fast, as soon as we were seated we were given a bingo card to play music trivia and had our orders taken. I really enjoyed the music trivia and I'm totally looking forward to coming back for more of their game night offerings like Tuesday Trivia Night. Anyways onto the food and drinks. These Mac and Cheese balls stole the show for me. They were nice and crispy on the outside and gooey and cheesy on the inside. I realllyyyy liked these and I've been dreaming of them since. I shared the poblano chicken taco with my boyfriend as a starter and it was really savory and had good heat to it with the jalapeños on top. My favorite drinks were the green tea shots for $5.50 (not pictured) and I also ordered the drink of the week, which had aperol and whisky. Not my taste, but it was fun to try. Overall this was a super fun and tasty experience and I'm looking forward to coming back! read more

What happened to this place? Is it under new ownership? Tonight was horrible. My son ordered the Fish & Chips ($19.50) and it was literally like FISH STICKS and crinkle cut fries out of a frozen bag and was not good. My husband ordered the Carnivore Pizza ($19.00) and it looked like it also came out of a freezer. I got the Pub Burger - was not asked how I wanted it cooked. It was okay but is not a $17.00 burger (served with the frozen bag crinkle cut fries), especially since I had to eat pretty much after my son and husband had already eaten most of their meals. My son got his meal about 10 minutes before mine came. My husband got his 5 minutes before I got mine. We didn't even get our meals to eat together. We were looking forward to getting the Butter Cake for dessert, but after such a disappointing meal, decided to not get it. We won't be back. For a meal and drinks that was close to $100, there are many better options in Corona. read more
