    Fish & Chips
    Andy V.

    The food here was pretty good. Everything came out fast and fresh. Fish & Chips were my favorite. Tasted like there was curry in the batter, not sure. Bang Bang Shrimp was ok, but the Chili Crisp wings were great. The beer was a bit pricey for the size, and our server didnt know the drink selection too well. All in all, not a bad experience.

    Business Card "The Brass Tap"....ENJOY!

    Just a lot of fun! Seated promptly, wait person Lorie was outgoing & lively! Lorie took our order right away & repeated our order to make sure she had it right ( a first for me, shows she cares & paid attention to our orders) our orders came promptly & flavorful! Thanks to the staff, all the sports tv's made the night memorable & we will be back!

    Cookie and ice cream

    Stopped in before a movie. We had been looking forward to checking this place out for a while. It was pretty busy especially for 5:00 on a Saturday. Service was decent considering. Prices were super reasonable and food and drinks were good! Hubby loved his beer and I tried a Strawberry basil mule that was refreshing. He enjoyed his chicken strips and I got a tasty side salad. We shared queso and chips and the kids enjoyed the pretzel plus cookie with ice cream with juices / mocktails. Will likely return and sit outside next time. We were sat in a corner inside, which I assume was because we had tween/teens with us. Outdoor area had corn hole, picnic tables and plenty of sunshine.

    Steak Frites- not good.

    The worst ribeye steak I've ever had. Poor quality meat. No seasoning. Bland! The garlic fries served with it on my steak frites were limp and extremely greasy. I sat at the bar and ordered an old fashioned. The bartender disappeared and came back 10 minutes later with my drink. The king cube had half melted. It was very heavy on the bitters and light on whisky. Nice ambience. Great place to catch a game. If only the food and drinks were better made. Sigh!!

    Our friends just moved into this neighborhood and we found this place and ate here on a Sunday. Great weekend brunch menu. Started with delicious bloodies. Then got the nachos and a burger. Food is solid for a sports bar. The staff is super friendly. Also an outdoor area with corn hole games. Huge TVs everywhere so great for sports. Free WiFi. The vibe is great as well. We will be back.

    Fish n chips, that is vinegar aioli and not a fan.

    First time here, the service great...staff super friendly & attentive. The food was good, not impressive. The fish and chips were good. The fish was flaky and not over breaded. Down side was no tartar sauce, which for me is a must for this dish. The coleslaw was yummy and actually combining that with the fish was really good. The all American cheeseburgers were good, but no thousand island sauce as a sauce which would have made the burger even more delicious. We had chicken sandwich was good, what one would expect...chicken was fresh, and juice. The true star was the pretzel....that pretzel was so good and fresh that we ordered 2!

    I can on MLK Day. It is pretty light crowd for a 2:30 pm. It's starting to pick up 3:30 pm, so it's time to leave. I am sitting at the bar and there is 1.5 bartenders. The bartender seem to be short staffed, not her fault. Buying waiting for a bill for over 20 minutes is not acceptable. Beer and food selection was on a QR code so hopefully bring a "smarter phone" I ordered one beer Tioga-Sierra Red Beer. It was good. They also have a small wine list and a full bar. Not sure how cocktails are charged since they have a lot of specialty drinks on their menu. Assuming I come back. I'll try the food but service needs some improvement. I deleted the Brass Tap App because it was buggy and didn't really help me. The venue is nice and spacious and the outdoor patio looks inviting. Maybe an office party or birthday party on the patio. Note: be prepared to leave an open tab on your credit card or pay up front for your drinks.

    Love this place. I come a few times a week as my son practices. Wait service regulars are wonderful. That said, a lot of turn over recently so can't speak on them all. The ones who are still here are wonderful. The owner is a friendly and realizes who the regs are. He seems to always be lookin to improve so give it another try till he gets it right. Drinks are great, food is above average for gastropub food. I recommend the Poblano chicken tacos (flour only tortilla), the loaded tots and Cheese curds. Oh and boom boom shrimp but not too much sauce!!

    Recently tried this spot out for the first time and we were so glad we did. We went on a Tuesday which turned out to be trivia night. We were able to join in for a few rounds and it ended up being so fun! We were immediately seated and assisted by the waitress. We tried their chicken tenders and all American pub burger. I was unfortunately not a fan of the tenders, but everything else was good. There is plenty of parking and it was pretty busy for a Tuesday night. Definitely recommend this place!

    I helped coordinate my 20 year high school reunion at the brass tap and it was the perfect location!! Karl was great to work with leading up to the event - our numbers changed slightly and we were able to pivot and still have a nice space for our group of 60! The food was tasty and plentiful and the space (covered patio and outside patio) fit our group perfectly for a casual event. We had a lot of positive comments from attendees, too! Bridget and Irene were so wonderful to work with day of! They took care of our group and checked in to make sure everything was running smoothly! I highly recommend the brass tap for either a casual drink, lunch, dinner or an event!!

    Amazing location in the dunes promenade. I may be bias because I live in the community but I think this is as amazing addition to the growing neighborhood. The first time I visited brass tap was for their grand opening and we ordered some beers and a pizza and I just visited on Veterans Day where they had a free burger for vets which is super appreciated being a veteran myself. Prices are fair, service is quick, and the location is amazing. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and although the parking lot itself for brass tap is on the smaller side there is nearby parking given its location in a shopping center.

Once seated, it took the waitress a good 10 minutes to come over to our table. When she finallty did, she was going to leave without asking if we wanted to order drinks, we had to call her back. The food took a while also. Not once did she come back to check on us to see if we wanted another drink while we were waiting. She was nice enough, and maybe this is her first wait job, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. However, we noticed quite a few of the staff were just standing around.

The team moved seamlessly throughout the restaurant, all working together effortlessly -- wiping tables between dishes, making sure drinks were never empty, and offering thoughtful surprises along the way like an amuse-bouche and palate cleanser that made the entire experience feel truly special. The restaurant itself is stunning inside, and the atmosphere was perfect. We had such an intimate and fun date night here. One of my favorite touches was that the chef personally came to our table to introduce several of the dishes, explaining where the ingredients were sourced and how each dish was prepared. We ordered an insane amount of food and were impressed by every single dish. The short rib rigatoni, filet, Brussels sprouts, and patatas bravas were all incredible. We also tried the risotto of the day -- a pea risotto with strawberry balsamic -- which was unique and absolutely delicious.
