Parking spaces not bad at all. During football season gets pretty packed. Place clean and staff always nice also very welcoming. Food not bad at all especially if you having a beer. My to go is the pineapple cider. I got sliders hamburger style wasn't the greatest I actually like better pulled pork ones. It's worth stopping by

A great combo! Boom Boom Shrimp and a Green Tea shot!

I was in Modesto yesterday, attending a medical procedure for one of my family members across the street at Kaiser, when I saw that there was a Brass Tap located right in Modesto. I was so happy to see this! I have been to the one in Vacaville many times while I was commuting from the Bay Area to Sacramento. I love that place. I had to go check it out for sure before I left back home. I happen to come in during happy hour. I was greeted and helped by Alexxa. The staff in general was super friendly. I selected the green tea shot from happy hour and an order of boom boom shrimp. Boy oh boy, what a combo! I know for sure when I come back to Modesto I'm coming back to this location.

Came back again this month because my friends and I really enjoyed it last month. The food was good, our server was really friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was same as always. bathrooms were clean and the tables were all clean. Great experience as always.

Boom Boom Shrimp

This place is great! If you're looking for some fun delicious food and drinks, you have to give it a try. From the friendly staff to each sip and bite taken you will be satisfied. Not to mention the drinks are reasonably priced. If you're wanting to watch a sports game it is the perfect location with the tremendous amount of TVs they have, but be aware that they do fill up tables quickly. I have had many items off the menu, but the boom boom shrimp in particular really impressed me for starts with how it's served and then its unique flavor profile similar to a honey walnut shrimp. There is both indoor and outdoor seating with there covered patio. I would consider this place a modern hip bar. Fun fact: there is no green tea in a green tea shot.

The perfect spot for a bite or drink! The Brass Tap is an incredibly hip and popular spot in Modesto. The drink menu is expansive with a bunch of reasonably priced cocktails and countless beers & IPAs on tap. The drinks were delicious and strong! There are a ton of appetizers and tavern-style food like burgers. Our bartender was super kind and quick! We were given great service. There is both indoor and outdoor patio seating with TVs for catching the game. This spot if a ton of fun, come early in the afternoon to grab a spot at the bar before they fill up!

Brisket Tacos
Julieann M.

We had such a great Saturday night at The Brass Tap! Even though it was plenty busy, we didn't have to wait at all which was such a nice surprise on date night! We ordered the steak nachos and brisket tacos, and both were amazing. The nachos were piled high with flavor and extra cheese, so good that we kept eating them even after we were full. The brisket tacos were loaded with smoky, savory goodness and we inhaled them to the last bite. For drinks, I had the Lavender Lemonade and the Tiki Man, both were bursting with flavor and as refreshing as they looked! We also sampled a couple of beers off their tap list, and the variety is impressive for any beer lover. Service was excellent! Very friendly, attentive, and quick without ever feeling rushed. We sat out on the patio, which was spacious, comfortable, and not overly loud which was a perfect vibe for hanging out. Overall, The Brass Tap checked all the boxes on our list! Great food, Creative drinks, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere! We'll definitely be back!

My bestie with our mini mimosas on their patio. Cheers to summer '25!

We like it! The restaurant/brewery itself is always decently packed inside and out! Sitting outside is definitely the move because the weather is nice and there is lots of shade on their patio. There are about a million different flavors of Draughts as well as an open bar, but they have THEE cutest mini mimosas you put together at the table that are adorable. Their CHEESE CURDS will keep us coming back, they are incredibly delicious. I love their shrimp caeser as well with their fish and chips!! I've had a bite of their chicken tacos and those are amazing too! 10/10 excellent place and I am curious to chicken out their happy hour if they have one :)

East Brother Blonde Ale

My dad wanted to try something different tonight, so we headed to Brass Tap. We sat inside by the front door -- perfect for him since he uses a walker. The ambience is casual and inviting, with plenty of seating at the bar, high-top tables inside, and a comfortable outdoor patio. We arrived around 6 PM on a Thursday and were seated right away. Dad ordered the chicken sandwich with garlic fries. He really enjoyed it but felt the fries could use more garlic -- I agree. I went with the Fish & Chips, also with garlic fries. The fish (cod) came in three square pieces, hot, flaky, and flavorful, paired nicely with cole slaw and a tangy tartar-malt vinegar mixture. Our waitress was friendly and recommended the East Brother Blonde Ale -- crisp, cold, and just right with my meal. This was my third visit, and each time I've been seated quickly, with consistently good food, attentive service, and a solid beer selection.

My boyfriend and I recently came here to watch the Rams vs Falcons. The Brass Tap has tons of screens so we had a great view of the game. For a bar, they surprisingly have amazing food. We started with the Pulled Pork Mac n cheese bites which were to die for. Just order it you won't regret it. I had the Guac Burger, very juicy a little messy but delicious. Service and food were a 10! Will definitely come back for the food.

Came for the flights enjoyed everything and had a great night! The beer, food, drinks was all a win, win!! I recommend the cheesesteak sandwich with a side of beers! The service was great, the ambiance is fun and sports playing on all the tv's. Sign me up!

Shrimp platter

Great brews with rude ill informed server at the bar. Their rules on serving more than one drink at a time is NOT ABC ! I looked up the law and she became very upset. I can't recommend this spot anymore. Sorry in early visits this was not the case.

Strawberry lemonade

This is mostly a sports bar with alot of different beer on tap to drink from. I dont drink so I was there for the food. The food was decent, the service was ok and the building is new and clean. It's a place to chill and have some bar food slightly elevated from the norm but not by much. I wasn't disappointed but I wasn't blown away. Not ever place to eat is a home run no pun intended haha

Pickle Back Shot, Moscow mule, Brass Tap Pizza, and Gilroy Garlic Fries.

See all
