I don't even know how this place has 3 stars. We're visiting Richmond from California and stumbled into this place. The food was amazing! Started woth the loaded tots, typical bar/pub food but they knocked it out of the park. Then had the Biggy BBQ Mac Burger and lost my mind. This thing was so good, all the flavors from the pulled pork. BBQ sauce, patty, Mac n cheese bites, the bacon, fuse in your mouth then explode , freaking food orgasm in your mouth! Then had the Bourbon Maple Brown Butter cake to close it out and almost died. The bourbon cake is ridiculously good and intense, you WILL taste it. Overall, they deserve more than 3 stars, whoever rated less than 3 stars is insane. read more

Excellent experience, enjoyable ambiance, and delicious food! Our server was a bit too focused on his phone versus our needs, but we dealt with the situation with no impact to our dinner. read more

We were excited to visit again. Our first visit was great, that was about 6 months ago. This visit was less than average. We were told to sit wherever we wanted. That would have been fine but the tables were dirty. I found one that was clean enough to pass and we sat down. We got there 10 minutes before happy hour ended. It would have been nice for the server to check in to see if we wanted anything from the happy hour specials. Nope, she came by after 12 minutes. The margarita was meh. The tequila presence was questionable. We asked the server which burger she would recommend, we were informed she never ate one so don't ask her. We had to ask for napkins and silverware. We were brought a packet of very flimsy plastic ware with no explanation as to why. The packet had one small napkin and we had to ask for more. The portions were also very small considering our first visit. Very disappointing considering the first visit. read more

I definitely do not recommend this restaurant. I have been there twice, and the bartenders have no clue about the beer or liquor they offer. I had to point out the bourbon because they had no idea what I was talking about. I also asked about different beers, and he had no idea what to recommend. The cheese curds were very greasy and served with bottled ranch dressing. Save your money!! read more

I've been here quite a few times since moving to the area, and would recommend it to anyone looking to try out a friendly sports bar with a ton of beers on tap! There's many drink and food specials throughout the week, as well as trivia and karaoke. The only downsides of this place is that it's never usually busy, would love to see it packed full of people! The other thing is that even during happy hour, I am regularly charged full price for beers. This has happened on numerous occasions in the last few months, which is not a good look for people looking to come during happy hour! read more

This place wasn't busy, but it should be kind of like the local bar /Tavern. Very comfortable plenty of beer on top. Good bar menu. I got a burger. It was very good. conner was our Server. He was very good knew the menu and was on top of things empty plates and glasses were taken from the table right away which is a plus because a lot of places don't do this. there's nothing worse than looking at dirty plates from your appetizers when you're eating your entrée and stock pile empty glasses. overall, I'll definitely be back here. read more

It was our first time there and we ordered the pizza, shrimp and chicken Caesar. Omg... the chicken Caesar was a hit. I didn't care too much for the pizza I felt like it was bland and the fried shrimp was okay. However the Caesar will not disappoint. read more

The wings were nice and crispy with a flavorful bbq sauce. The fish tacos were pretty bland so I would not get those again. As far as drinks, I got the margarita and enjoyed the flavors. The service was pretty slow, but they looked a little understaffed. Overall, it's a good spot! read more

Great location but one of the worst run restaurants in Richmond, which is unfortunate. Service was slow, wings were eh. Servers were smoking and on the phone on the patio. The cook sits with friends or goes out on the patio. Bartender has no idea what she's doing. Bus boy looks miserable. Saturday in SEC and they're playing old NFL games and karaoke started during the GA vs TN game. Great location and set up, hope they figure it out. We've tried twice now don't think we'll return. read more

Went here despite some low reviews wanting to give it a chance and so glad we did! Location was great, food was fresh and delicious, and owner was friendly and accommodating. Would definitely order the tap salad and Mac and cheese bites again. Having to be patient with training staff was worth it and I really see the potential this restaurant has! read more

We had a large group of 20 on Thursday 10/23 and had a great evening! Jessica our waitress handled the group (which were mostly separate checks) with a positive attitude and a smile. Keeping all those checks straight was an impressive feat! From the ease of setting up the reservation at the front end, the good food and beer - topped off by a great waitstaff made it a fun night. Thank you!! read more

Food , service, ambiance. Everything sucks. I asked the GM to correct something on my my check... and she said oh no I can not do that because of corporate pricing. Even though the prices were clearly different online vs what they were presenting on the menu! Do not go here unless u a ready to be robbed! Lol read more

I don't love this place, which is a shame since they are my neighbor, and I was hyped for months ahead of their opening this past February. I've been a handful of times now and haven't been impressed with the food, drinks, service, or atmosphere. I've sat at tables twice and at the bar twice. Service was only decent the one time I sat at the bar when it wasn't moderately busy. Otherwise, it seems pretty scattered. They don't have a host, so it's a seat-yourself type of place, which isn't always ideal when, as I was told by a server recently, they didn't see me sit down (at a table that shouldn't have been considered hidden). I will say they do have an impressive selection of draft beers and cans with a wide range of styles; that will keep me going back, I'm sure. However, I do hope they are properly cleaning their lines. A friend and I split a flight last weekend, and one beer that had amazing Untappd reviews in a style we both generally love was nothing short of foul....and it came with THREE! fruit fly floaters. We left it behind. In terms of food, I'm just not a fan. It all feels like frozen, Restaurant-Depot esque bland bar food. I've had the cheese curds, the nachos, the burger, and the pretzel, and wasn't impressed with any of them. I am open to suggestions for a better choice. It is a bar, and as such, the noise level can be deafening depending on how many people are there. They do have outdoor seating, which seems nice. I do hope they improve with time. read more

Stopped in just to have a beer and check out the vibe. It was kind of crowded and loud but there were a few seats at the bar. I'm very impressed with the amount of beers they have on tap along with many bottles of beer. During our time at the bar we interacted with 3 different members of staff and all were very friendly. There are many TVs so it would be a great place to watch some sporting events. I'm a NY Yankee fan and MLB.tv blacks out the Baltimore games so I found a place to watch some baseball. The menu looks to be mainly bar food but that's basically what this is. The patios would be a good option too since they have a few outdoor TVs. If you're a beer drinker and enjoy watching sports this is a great place to hang out. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink just to check it out. Team at the bar were super friendly, fast and clearly busy taking care of customers and keeping the bar clean. They checked us a few times! Really big beer menu, nice cocktail menu, wine selection is average....it's a beer bar so that's ok Menu looks nice, mainly sports bar type snacks and meals, nothing fancy/special. Plates we saw go by looked good and nice size portion. There are quite a few tvs.....bonus for game watching! Tvs are inside and outside Indoor/outdoor bar is pretty cool. It's LOUD .... which is to be expected from a sports bar, just want to call it out as it's hard to have a conversation. Most of the tables are for 4 to 8 people and they are pretty close together. +1 Service +.5 Food selection +1 Presentation + .5. Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value read more

Nothing like the location at National Harbor. I was excited when they first opened in Richmond, but saw service and food quality fall off, especially when what I assume the new ownership took over. Servers are vapid at best. Food is on par with an elementary school cafeteria. Just not a good experience or vibe and I had really high hopes. I think today is my last time patronizing this location. Especially when being rushed to pay our bill right when the food arrived because our server was getting off....done... read more

Food and drinks were great! We ordered the shrimp basket with sweet potatoes fries and everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful. Taking off one star solely due to the fact the women's restroom was absolutely gross. They're having a plumbing issue but didn't have signs up or anything. Besides that, I would come back! read more

extremely slow and bad. 15 minutes for a drink and an hour for food. Would not recommend!

Service was horrible slow not enough staff. Then ordered to go Wings and it took over 30 min for compensation they gave me a free beer !! For real!! We waited an waited. Finally got Another coupon not Must excuse was we are a franchise! Won't be going back. read more

I have visited this location in the past, this was my third time, and it was an average experience. I took a friend to introduce them to the place that I loved in the past. Food was not cooked to order, and we were told we would have to pay for it and then order a new entrée and pay for that also. So, question in your opinion very well done means what when you can clearly see pink... read more

This place was recommended to us by someone and it did not disappoint. We went on Friday during happy hour. We ordered boom boom shrimp, creole burger and a brisket grilled cheese sandwich. The food came out so fast and it was delicious!!! They have different specialty beers on tap and nice happy hour drink specials. The waitress was really attentive and helpful. I REALLY wanted to give this place 5stars but I couldn't only because there were a few things on the menu that we couldn't get because of an appliance issue in the kitchen (they were working on it). Overall, I highly recommend this place and I'll definitely go back if/when I'm in Richmond. read more

We went here Memorial Day after dropping my daughter off at Amtrak. It was our first time. As the name states, it's a Tap House and they've got that down! Lots of beers on tap and an impressive amount of ciders. Another positive, they have several non alcoholic beers. My husband doesn't drink so I'm always impressed with a restaurant offering that. We sat at the bar and the bartender was crazy busy but super attentive and helpful. I asked for the Ranch Water drink but asked if he could make it spicy and he said of course and it was great. They have lots of tvs so it would be a great place to watch football. That's the good. Now the bad. We ordered the Korean Pork nachos. They were not good. The pork had a bad after taste that made me question if it had actually gone bad. I can be a snobby food person but even my husband, who will eat gas station chicken, stopped eating it. It was old for sure but the rest of the toppings were ok. Not sure if it was a holiday weekend thing or what. I would go back and try something else during football season when the Bills are not being televised locally (Go Buffalo). read more

I went here for happy hour with some friends & overall really enjoyed it!! We each got a $5 sangria, which was great. Then I also opted for the cheeseburger & fries for $9. I liked it as well but the burger could benefit from some sort of aioli. The fries could be cooked a little longer but the biggest downside was there was a hair on one of my fries, which I certainly didn't order lol. But I wasn't going to be a Karen about it so I just didn't eat that fry, but it would've obviously been better without it. Their patio is great to bring your dog, they are extremely dog friendly!! They brought my dog his own water bowl, lots of treats, & even a Tito's bandana! So he was in heaven. They also brought everything out pretty quick. So I give it a thumbs up. My friends shared the boom boom shrimp but were disappointed by the quality because there was not very many. For the price of my meal though, I'd certainly consider coming back for happy hour! read more

I had driven past the brass tap several times on my commute and I was dying to try it. Glad I did. My first impression was that it was much more casual that I was expecting, having only seen the outside. Which was totally okay, just something to take note of. The beer was... wow. Amazing, best beer selection I've seen in a very long time. While they didn't have some brewery favorites, there was a huge selection of anything on tap your heart could possibly desire. I personally recommend the Stacy's mom IPA. Food was alright. While it was above average, there's plenty of similar food items around. I was impressed by the pretzel bites, but the hot honey pizza was okay. Service was fantastic. Our server had a full plate and still managed to check up on us and maintain an upbeat attitude. I wish i remembered her name so I could give her a shout out, she was great! As a nice sit down spot, not so much. As a chill after work spot, or a cool place to grab a drink I definitely recommend. read more

First off, the positives: The waitress was nice and attentive. She checked in with us several times and our orders came out fairly quickly. We did not feel like she was neglecting our table at all. I will be speaking just about my order and not the experience of everyone at the table. I found their menu online and was really excited because I love a Mojito this time of year and they offered a Mojito flight. Their flight comes with five different flavors, one of which is the original Mojito. There were no descriptors to what was in the other 4 flavors/drinks but I thought "why not, maybe I'll discover something new to love." It was an absolute disappointment. All 5 Mojitos were memorable for all the wrong reasons. The original didn't taste like a Mojito at all. Each of the other 4 drinks were sickly sweet with a 'hard to get ' flavor, and were garnished with a single Mojito leaf that did not taste even slightly muddled. Other than that, I ordered fish and chips and it was kind of weird that the piece of fish fell apart every time I tried to pick it up... overall the food was fine. Needless to say, this was a first and final visit. read more

The food was fine mostly bar style food. The waitstaff at the time struggled a decent amount. Sent a couple wrong items all together and had to revisit for orders. The Buffalo cauliflower was fine needed some more topping. Nachos were good and super loaded! Pretzel bites tasted good and soft. Easy to get in and get a seat. They had Prosecco but couldn't make mimosas which seems little silly since you just need some OJ. read more

The space is great and the staff are friendly, that's about where the good stuff ends. The food fell way short. We ordered the pretzel to start. We didn't enjoy the microwaved frozen pretzel. It's presentation sooo mouth watering just ripped up by hand into small pieces and placed into a basket like they were feeding leftovers to dogs. The pub burger gave off microwaved basic bitch energy. It looked ok but after the first few bites I'd began wondering how a burger from WaWa up the street would stack up against this. The crinkle cut fries needed to be in the oil another two minutes or so. The chicken club wrap, let's just say wasn't wrapped, more like topped with a wrap. It was eaten more like a salad. The fries also undercooked. There's some nice TV's all over so it would be a solid place to maybe watch a game and ONLY have drinks. The food is a hard no for us. read more

Really great beer selection here, many different styles and handles. Bartender was chatty, knew a lot about sports. The chips and salsa were decent, would come back to this place just for more beer and maybe try food. Inside has a lot of seating and they have patio tables and chairs as well. read more

Disappointed with my experience at Brass Tap. The wings were nothing special--barely any meat and dry. The burger was also incredibly underwhelming and also dry. Pretty much everything, including the French fries, seemed on par with frozen items from Costco. To make things worse, my second beer was even poured into the same glass as my first..and they didn't even bother to rinse it out. Even the specials board was disappointing as it was still advertising St. Patrick's Day drinks. With food and service like this, I won't be giving Brass Tap another try. read more

This was a decent spot, my father and I randomly stopped here for some lunch. We ended up getting the shrimp basket with fries and honestly it was so good, the fries were perfectly crisped and the shrimp was hot and crunchy. We also got a tequila flight with some pretty unique flavors that u haven't really seen offered elsewhere. The server wasn't extremely attentive and took a while for our drinks but other than that it was good. It was nice and spacious in there I liked the decor it gave warehouse vibes which I find cool. Good vibe overall, I might stop by again one day if I'm in the area read more

Sean was very attentive, professional and very knowledgeable of all food and drink items. My first visit, I will be back.

Great atmosphere, especially to watch a sports game! Good selection of beer and food. Service is a little slow but staff is super nice. Food is mediocre/typical bar food. Nachos are great to share with the table. Wings are flavorful. Pizza is okay - kind of tastes like a frozen pizza. read more

Visited The Brass Trap tonight with my family. Easy parking and great location. Inside is surprisingly small for a sports bar. Server was nice. Food was hot and fresh and very good. The queso cheep dip was very good but it was so small!! It was $9 and the cup was extremely small. We all were disappointed. Drinks however were not too good. The margarita flights were the best thing but everything else was awful. I ordered a lemon drop and it tasted like straight vodka. No lemon, no sour mix, nothing. Whew caught me off guard! We ordered one of the giant drinks that serves 4-6 people. Again, tasted like straight tequila. Like goodness can we have a good mix of strong and tasty. In the end, food and service were great. I would return for food only. read more

Yoooo @brasstaprva is a whole vibe! We went to pregame for my birthday (8/22 ) and it did not disappoint! Our waiter Rett is the GOAT of servers, amazing! He got our orders out in a timely fashion and he was super cool! HH is until 7p and they offer a wide variety of items: I ordered the cheeseburger and fries, a value at $9 pretty tasty, fries needed salt and pepper but over a good solid meal (3.8/5), I sampled the bbq chicken and bacon (4.5/5) as well the carnivore (4/5) pizza both very flavorful and it was agreed that the carnivore could use a bit more sauce outside of that the pizza is a solid choice! The table also ordered wings and chicken quesadillas. I also ordered the house white sangria $5 (3/5) sorta small and icy but tasty and the drink special: rum punch $7 which was really tasty but needed a bit more "punch" rum (3.2/5). The music bingo was lit, we had sooo much fun! If you're looking for a low key spot, good food and fun on a Monday go check them out, we'll definitely be back! read more
