Chill bar and grill in Plano known for being cheap. It looks like a basic small town bar with plenty to drink and some things to eat. The Friendly Tap is a place that sounds like there's tons of suds. For sure there is but most of it's in bottles and cans, which is ironic. You can find a few things to eat, and there's often a special going on, so check the boards for these. Basically it's a place to have beers. It's what most people here seem to get. There's quite a lot but only a few of these are on tap. Mostly it's bottles and cans. There's also an okay amount of liquor. It's about $3 for the cheapest cocktails. These are the basic whiskey and whatever. Food menu is mostly the fried stuff like fries. On Wednesdays there's a taco theme going on. A bit more variety in the food. It's about $2.50 to get Chips And Salsa, and about $3 a taco. For sure it's not authentic. The cheap prices are why it's popular. Has a mostly accurate name, even for those who aren't friends of the employees. It's one of the many bars around here. This is because there's not much to do around here but get drunk and eat the sketchy tacos, but it's cheap so whatever. read more

The Friendly Tap - Whiskey With Chips And Salsa - Bars Near Me - Plano, Illinois

Service and other customers not very friendly, not welcoming at all. Food was just ok.

Definitely the right name, every one is friendly here. Stopped for lunch while on a road trip. The menu said the burgers take 20 minutes, they were right. Definitely hand packed. Very good. Bloody Mary was unique in a good way. Definitely pop in if you're in the area. read more

Talk about the neighborhood dive bar. This little bar is well known in the area, cheap drinks, good bar burgers and a place where the locals hang out. I've been here a few times and both times it's been quite interesting. It's regulars who come to play the slots, it's the crowd that comes in for a good bar burger and the ones that come for the cheap drinks. I think mostly everyone that goes there is drinking Busch lights because they are like a dollar or something. I show up and ask for my gin and tonic and they had to make sure they had gin The bar tender said that no one drinks that anymore although she's noticed some of the younger crowd is requesting it these days. Well I'm no young in, I just really like a gin and tonic with a splash of lemon juice. I'm all for dive bars and this one is great. Great place to have a drink before going out to dinner or after a long day at work. read more

Stopped in here one day after driving a friend home figured we'd grab a bite to eat , and to my surprise they had "SMELT" which I used to always have growing up and you never see that in any restaurants nowadays, so of course I ordered it and it was just as good as I can remember definitely will be going back to this place more often, everyone was very friendly read more

Amazing service and food!! Love this little gem of a place! We usually get burgers but I had the fish fry this time. Yum!

Nice little hometown place. Actually have pretty good food. .75 wings on Mondays and .50 beer.

good food, friendly servers, fair prices. always a good time and good company. try the friday fish fry for sure!

Best burger in the county and half the price of Bristol tap these days. Try it out, you'll thank me, it's not 5 star dinning or service, but it has its charm. read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IVE EVER EXPERIENCED. We ordered to go on Friday 4/7 we got the fish sandwich and the fish special. When I ordered the food the man on the phone was incredibly rude stating that it would take longer to write my order for the kitchen than to actually prepare the food (because I modified the sandwich by asking him to add pepperjack cheese. TWO WORDS. PEPPERJACK CHEESE. Shouldn't take that long to write it down for back of house.) I then asked for a side of blue cheese before finishing my order & he very rudely asked, why? R u getting a salad or something? I said no, it's to dip my fries in.( Why do you care why I'm getting blue cheese!? Do your job!!) he was so rude on the phone that I wanted to tell him never mind and go somewhere else but I was pressed for time because my one year old needed to eat before bed time. Fast forward to today, the following Friday. I check my bank statement and they charged me 46$ when the total for the food was 26$. I called and spoke to a woman on the phone who told me she can't do anything for me and laughed at me for not saving a receipt. Why should I have to pull out a receipt when my fiancé signed on at your bar. I'm a bartender too. I have been for 10 years, we save all those transactions. She can easily pull up the receipt if I give her the debit card information used. When she told me she couldn't help me I got irritated & my baby started fussing so I hung up. I called back and she started yelling at me saying I'm rude and that wings aren't to go when I didn't even ever bring up wings!?!?!? WE GOT FISH. WHICH SUCKED BY THE WAY. That we were overcharged for. Almost 50$ for your crap service your crap attitude and your crap food. Don't go here. They curse at their patrons, laugh at them, & over charge them. I've been in service industry for a very long time & never in my life would I treat someone the way these two people I spoke to have treated me. read more

This is a VERY friendly pub (no pun intended)! We stopped in for lunch and my husband ordered the Butt Steak sandwich with mushrooms. The server came back to say they were out of them and offered onions. The cook stepped out and returned with mushrooms!! She went above AND beyond by going to the diner down the street and to get them. My daughter and I shared the 1/2 lb burger as well as the deep fried green beans. The food was cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend checking it out! read more

The Friendly Tap - Bars Near Me - Plano, Illinois

The barmaid was extremely short with me and the owner had absolutely no respect for me. It was busy and it smelled great in there but I couldn't stay around long enough to get a bite to eat. The bar was full of middle-aged and older customers and I am 24. I am clearly not their typical clientele but I still expected to be treated a little bit nicer. read more

This is my hometown bar! Love the food (burgers, cheese curds, fried green beans, all great), love the bartenders, love the small atmosphere. Just wish they had a little more variety on the menu and some healthier options. They do great things in that kitchen, they could definitely mix it up :) read more

Great food but my phone order was completely wrong. I'm not one to gripe but for $20 I expect my order to be right.

Tuesday is 1/2 price burgers and they are amazing. Tip your bartenders and they'll take care of you! Food is good, nice local place. Best bar in town. read more

New to the area. TFT was recommended as great place to relax. Not a loud atmosphere so talking is possible. Going there a few times a week. Can't beat the reasonable prices as well as the really good food. Drinks are best bargain anywhere. Seeing wait staff is like meeting up with new friends. Definitely try it. You'll be glad you did. read more

Yummie Burgers! Not frozen patties but nice yummie fresh ones! Hard to find that anymore! Great prices, friendly service!

If you go there more than twice in a month i cam almost guarantee that the bartenders will remeber your name! Love this place! read more
