Great food and service My mom and I stopped by The Tap House before heading to Signal Mountain, and we were really impressed. The place had a nice, laid-back vibe as soon as we walked in. Our waiter was super helpful and made everything easy -- friendly, quick, and on top of things. I have a gluten allergy, so I really appreciated that they had gluten-free buns and other options. Even better, the bun actually tasted good -- which is rare. A lot of places serve dry, flavorless gluten-free bread, but this one held up and made the meal even better. Overall, the food was great, the service was solid, and we even had leftovers. Would definitely come back. read more

Arrived at 6 on a Friday night and they had ample seating available. Service was quick and staff were friendly. I got the crunch wrap and it was just ok. The cream corn was really good. It's fun that they serve water in liquor bottles. read more

My lifelong friend and I went to The Tap House on our yearly trip to get together for a few days, and ended up going to the Tap House twice! Excellent craft beers, and service, and the food was hot and made very well. They also have smaller beer and whiskey servings to try different ones which interest you! The owner, Chris even came over to us the second day, and asked how our trip was, and thanked us for coming back! This is a typical tap room/bar in an old office building, was clean and comfortable. The closest parking (as most parking in and near downtown Chattanooga) is pay by phone, however, they will validate your parking. How much you spend will vary if you are drinking and/or eating. Overall, a very relaxed enjoyable place to go! read more

We had a nice visit to The Tap House while visiting Lookout Mountain. It was a super hot day, so it was nice to stop into a cool tavern for some drinks. Our server was Maddy, and she was super friendly and helpful. She made some drink suggestions, and everything was so tasty. Definitely a nice little spot in the St Elmo area at the foot of Lookout Mountain! read more

I went to this restaurant and ordered their burger with potato wedges. The burger wasn't a meal somthe wedges and drink had to be ordered separately- I found that weird. I asked for the burger to be medium well. The food came quickly. The wedges I dipped in honey mustard sauce (which was an extra fee to which I wasn't notified of when I was ordering), they were really good though. The burger reminded me of school burgers that they already have prepared in the hot water bath until they serve you. It didn't have a freshly grilled or just made burger taste. I didn't care for the taste and texture of the burger. I was a little nauseated after a few bites of the burger. Just the taste of it. The sweet tea was really good and I didn't know it until I left but the receipt said you get free refills. The restaurant was clean. Seating available outside too and it was covered seating. There was a gravel lot where merchants were selling hand made items and a band was playing outside. read more

This was our first time here, and have no desire to come back. The first interaction was with the hostess. No niceties from her like "hey, how are you? How many" just stood and looked at us. We told her 2. After she sat us we decided the weather was good and wanted to move outside. We went up to ask if that was okay, and she was VERY snippy like that was an inconvenience for her. We sat down at the bar. The bartender looked at us multiple times and never greeted us or said just a sec. After 4-5 minutes we had our flight picked out and what we wanted to order. He finally asked us what we would like. Got our order in and went outside. Once we received our appetizers, they were already cold. My boyfriend went inside to get another beer and the bartender just never said a word. When I went in to pay, again nothing. No "have a nice day, or thanks". Could have been worse but also just not pleasant whatsoever read more

Nice taproom in St. Elmo! The space is a good size with tables spaced around the room as well as a side party room that's a little more private. Even with it being a full house it wasn't that loud. Most of the servers/staff were nice. One guy behind the bar made it seem like everything was an inconvenience to him and with that being your first contact with the business and the where you order it was a bit off putting. Food is good, not the greatest in the area. We split a veggie sampler with two burgers. You get a good amount for the price. But I feel like you come here for the drinks much more than the food. There is a 3% credit card fee, so be aware of that. read more

Saturday night and I'm in Chattanooga. Time for a beer! I found this place thanks to the wonderful Yelp search and I'm glad they brought me here. Warmly welcomed at the bar where I ordered my first and took the menu back to the table. I was able to plug in the laptop and connect their wifi. Okay, what's for dinner. Still on keto, I chose the big burger with pimento cheese and a side of steamed spinach. And then another beer. This time, a "Gay Beer" because why not? This is a large space and it was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday night. Where is everyone? [Review 18799 overall - 335 in Tennessee - 2322 of 2022.] read more

Food is amazing! Service is on point and very attentive! Inside is like a brewery/pub, but very fun and clean and inviting! Pretzel with Beer Cheese is a must. Jalapeño cream corn as a side is amazing, and it's topped with bacon. Hot Mama Jama, burger is so good! read more

First, I went on a Thursday when their Comfort Burger was listed on their website as being the Thursday special and priced at $10. We went during the correct times for the special, however we were charged the full price of $14. Overcharging $8! So dishonest and inaccurate billing leaves a bad taste. Additionally, I asked for thousand island dressing for the burger and some ranch dressing for the fries. They charged $1.50 for marginal store-bought dressing, as they don't make ANY dressings in house. Everything is lousy prepared store-bought dressing. Then, when I asked for my burger to be cooked medium, I was told, nope, we cook to 165 degrees which is well done. So I got an overcooked burger. When restaurants tell me they only cook to well done, that screams, "incompetent chefs can't handle proper cooking techniques." The burger was made from grass-fed beef, which I don't care for, and which is not indicated on the menu. That would have been ok, except I asked the server are you using grass fed beef, and she replied she didn't know! How can you not know this when burgers are your main thing?? Sure enough, after one bite I knew it was grass-fed beef. If she had been competent and honest and told me that, I would have ordered something else. Grass-fed beef is more dense, drier, and definitely not a candidate for well-done cooking. Can't recommend this place for many reasons, there are other great burger places in Chattanooga. This isn't one of them. Also, their "fries" are strange, thick, pasty things with little flavor. read more

We ordered 3 burgers. The server didn't even ask how we wanted them cooked. My 6 year old wanted the Mac and Cheese and it was literally microwaved Kraft. All 4 of our cups smelled and tasted of Bleach. Terrible. read more

Loved this spot for drinks and an appetizer! They have a wide selection of beers, as well as cocktails and homemade root beer & butter beer. We decided to split a flight of 6 beers which came with a small serving of pretzels. We really enjoyed all the beers, especially their selection of sours!! I also tried the homemade root beer which was very tasty. The hummus appetizer was delicious. The feta cheese on top was a nice touch and the pita was buttery. The service was great and it was fun watching all of the food come out of the kitchen by sitting at the bar. We will definitely be back to try a burger and their Mac n' cheese in the future! read more

Service is prolonged. The food was ok. The waitress we had was not friendly at all. It took her 15 minutes before she could take a drink order and food. My drink took 10 mins while my son's soda took another 10. She never checked back on us. I know it got busy since we sat down but it could have been nice to at least be polite and smile instead of the attitude. read more

Absolutely love coming to The Tap House! The service has always been excellent, they have plenty of beer options and their food is good quality. The business is locally owned and operated and they support other local businesses - which I love. My favorite things: the outdoor seating, friendly service, the cider they brew in house and the Belgian Burger . Come in for an event or trivia night, enjoy their rotating menu and variety of beers (they have liquor options too). Plenty of indoor seating for groups of friends or bar top seating to relax. Music is never too loud to have a conversation and you get to appreciate all the personality they put in to make it what it is. read more

Not a bad experience, just not what we hoped for. Big sign over the taps, no samples. When we are traveling, we like to try new beers.....a sample, not an 8oz pour before we commit. Thankfully, we did find a beer we liked. I ordered the Hot Mama Jama sandwich and DH had the brunch salad. Sandwich was tasty and spicy but pretty small for a burger. Bun was soft and fresh. Not another thing on the side...pickle, chips....nothing. Husband's salad was fine, nothing exciting. Raspberry vinaigrette in a plastic pouch. Def not one of our favorites. read more

The food was tasty. Our party had The Club, Caesar Salad, and The Southern. Sweet tea was not house made, so that was disappointing. The waiter was friendly, too. I like the ambiance was a cool bar vibe with coffee house music. read more

Quick weekend trip to Chattanooga and we were looking for something close to where we were staying and happened upon The Tap House! We stopped in for a drink, but ended up staying for dinner and returned the next day for food and drinks, as well!

If you can find the bar the atmosphere at this place is fantastic! The building is beautiful with the brick, original floors and doors, Edison bulbs, cozy couches, and even the bar top is unique! However, it's located in a building with several other businesses and the only sign is a relatively small one on one corner of the building. The sign for the yoga studio was bigger. The beers on tap include a good variety from what I could see. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but they also had two ciders on tap, including Strongbow, which you rarely see. Food section is limited and appetizers were as pricey as the sandwiches. Parking is terrible! There is one lot for tenants and customers of the entire building that fits about 20 cars and only has one small entrance/exit. There are other businesses around that you can park at after hours, but not sure how they'd feel during business hours. There is some street parking and a Food City across a major street that has a big lot. read more

Really great venue next to the Incline railroad. They did not have a kids menu but they're a tap house so that should be acceptable. We had a large group of 8. Everyone liked what they ordered from burgers to salads. The 3yr old enjoyed his reasonably priced hot dog and tots. And they had a gluten free bun option. They had a pimento cheese option that could be added to any sandwich for some Southern flair. My dad would have loved it, but I didn't try it. Staff was awesome! Most of their seating is high top tables. Parking can be tricky so if you're coming from the Incline Railroad, then just leave your car there and walk. read more

I love the Tap House - I've been here about 4 times Once with friends to have drinks and play Bunco, another two times to eat and have a beer, and once with a Yelp event. Each time I have been greeted with a smile from the staff behind the bar, offered samples for anything on the beer menu to try, had my questions answered (and I'm that question person so..), and had a great time. I love how they have different seating arrangements you can do any of the following (or all): - grab a high top for a group inside - grab a couch or two inside - grab a low too and some board games and play with friends - grab a beer sampler with or without the snacks and rate your favorites - listen to live music on music nights. - take your beer on the ledge/patio for a quieter place to chat - chill with your dog(s) on the patio - dance (although this doesn't happen that much) - meet up with a group (it's pretty quiet unless someone is playing) You can not sit at the bar - it's not that type of place. The food is amazing / they always have specialty popcorn and I love their sandwiches. The space is big enough to spread out! The beer selection is from all over but features lots of local beers (some of the best variety I have ever seen) and I love this about this place. All in all, 4 times and nothing negative to say. This is a great place if you want to drink good beer and be among good people! cheers! read more

The initial waiter got my wife's drink order wrong twice and her food order wrong the first time and when we corrected it he got very short with us. Nachos were terrible. Maybe they just make them different in Tennessee but they had a small amount of sprinkle cheese about half melted and cold bacon and jalapeños. The beer was good and the lady that came from behind the bar to help a couple of times was very nice. The club sandwich and BLT were both good also but the attitude of the waiter kinda set the mood for a bad experience. Should have known when checking out the menu I noticed at the very top was a statement explaining how they do not give your money back if the food tastes bad (seriously) "if you order from the menu you pay for it". This should have been my sign! read more

I don't recommend the spot because if they get more than nine people in the restaurant the kitchen closes, horrible horrible horrible I can't believe they can't manage more than 10 people in the restaurant where they have 45 tables must be overwhelming must be Democrats wearing masks behind the counter I can't believe how bad this is looking forward to a good burger and shut down because of I'm not sure why the cook doesn't know how to cook I'm not sure just ridiculous post read more

The Tap House - Beer Bar Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Great little place right right around the corner from the Incline Railway! The atmosphere is great and the building has been beautifully repurposed. It was a last second decision to go there as out usual stop when coming through Tennessee has closed. So needless to say we were a bit disappointed, but that changed when we were seated. So quick review: Party included: grandmother, child, me and my hubby! The appetizer was great it was a spread sampler that included trout spread, hummus and pimento cheese- all were great. Could have used more Fritos that weren't crushed, but we made it work. Grandma - Reuben - she loved it and appreciated that it wasn't too messy. Hubby - Burger - no leftovers! liked the salad could be a side so he didn't feel like his gym work was not nothing Kiddo - Chicken and Waffles - didn't really like it - no warning that there would be pickles on the chicken (she is a pickle hater) and the batter on the meat was thick. The waffles were okay, but are very sweet - no syrup needed. Me - Salad - PERFECT the raspberry dressing was great and the chicken was perfect. Good amount of cranberries, etc - very filling for a salad I didn't try the beers, but will be back just to try a flight! Give it a try if you are in the area. Great staff and management - really nice folks who make it right (Ordered coffee that didn't taste fresh - and they brought a fresh cup). I would say Good+ almost great. read more

This AM brunch was extremelyY extremely mediocre. Server was very obviously spread too thin and it showed. Basic breakfast plate and farmers omelette both very bland, with the most basic presentation (looked thrown on a plate). My husbands "brioche toast" was the butt end crumbs of a loaf. When we asked for an actual piece of toast it took over 20 mins to come out, after we were done eating. My brunch salad was drowned it syrupy raspberry vinaigrette. Overall missed the mark. We all were unimpressed with our experience. Ambiance and decor were nice! read more

The Tap House - Frito Pie! Super delish! - Beer Bar Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Let me preface this review by first stating that every palate/person is different and your experience may vary. I can only speak on my personal dining experience and if you are curious about this place there is only one way to know for sure and that's to give it a try for yourself. This was our first time trying this place at random for lunch as we were on the way back home from Rock City. We enjoy trying new burger places, especially local spots and have found some real gems since moving to the area a couple of years ago. In terms of location, this place gets about a 5/10, the parking situation is limited but free if you can find a spot in the correct lot which we did so it worked out. The atmosphere gets about a 5/10 pretty basic layout but the place was clean and tidy with a small but decent outdoor seating area for sunny days. The staff service gets about a 5/10 again, nothing especially bad but the staff seemed a bit task saturated which affected the level of service they could provide at the time of our visit. We came during off hours so the place was not full and our food did come rather quickly. In regards to the food and drink, the best way I can sum up our experience is Tap House is a "Bar" that just so happens to serve food. Our drinks were fairly priced and ice cold no complaints there 8/10. The highlight of the food was definitely the pimento cheese appetizer which had some decent spice and was pretty ok 6/10. The burgers unfortunately missed the mark entirely. I won't go into detail but they tasted similar to something you would expect at a lookouts baseball game, edible but that's about it 3/10. The total bill for two people ordering drinks and food was average and comparable to others in the area. Overall we were sad that this place didn't pan out well as we greatly enjoy supporting local restaurants and have found some truly amazing diamonds in the rough over the years. As a pure "Bar" Taphouse is fine and you should absolutely go hang out there and have a drink especially if you are local to St. Elmo but if you are a foodie and not much of a drinker like us, you can go ahead notch this one off the list. read more

Frequent spot for me. Great beer selection, including all the local craft brews. Food is always very good. The supreme appetizer is super good. Spicy cream corn is my favorite side, and the sandwiches and burgers are all unique and well made. read more
