    Great atmosphere. The bartender was a little odd and pretty quiet but gave amazing high fives.

    What a great way to end a fantastic mini-trip to Winston Salem (WS). Me and my partner love dive bars so Thirsty Pallet (TP) was right up our alley. Nothing fancy, no boogie waiters or elaborate over priced menus just a cool spot to wet your whistle, talk some trash with your bartender and shoot the sh!t while talking a lil sports. TP gives you all of that and more. Our bartender could make great drinks and they have a cool spot in the back to play darts. If you saw my pictures they have a Claw game which I love so $2 later for this little guy. Just a very laid back bar, with good positive vibes and a bartender that does his thing. This is a must stop by for a few drinks or cocktails. Highly recommend and it'll be part of my future trips to WS.

    Loved this back room and the lighting!

    A new bar trying to really embrace that local atmosphere? I love it! Seriously, the owners here are really amazing and good at embracing the local community in a way you don't see too often. It's situated in that perfect spot of easy access on 4th street. It has some really unique drink blends and Cocktails. And a nice access to many local breweries.

    Nice setting with the owners that works the bar. Facility is compact but that makes it more homey. You will feel at home here

    For a Friday night, it was surprisingly quiet when we walked in--but to be fair, it was close to…read more11:00 PM, so maybe it gets livelier earlier or later. A few people were playing card games at one table, others were hanging out near the pool table, and a handful were just vibing to the music at the bar. They have an extensive beer list and some fun New Orleans-style tropical cocktails. I was happy to see an Aperol Spritz on the menu--and it was made properly, so I ended up ordering a second one. It seemed like a few friends of the bartender came in and started picking the music, which shifted into a mix of dance tracks and rap. The vibe fizzled out a bit after that, so we decided to head out. Overall, it could be fun little spot, we will check back later. If you're in the area and miss Hoots Brewery, definitely check out Bar Nola. I can only imagine how great their Mardi Gras party must be or Super Bowl day. On the other end of the building, there's a huge open space with beautiful hardwood floors and a another bar. It looks like the kind of venue where you could easily host a party with a live band--maybe they even rent it out for weddings or holiday events, though I'm not sure if it's officially part of the bar. There's also a large outdoor area with a TV and an uncovered bar, but since it was cold last night, everyone stayed inside. It seems like you can take your drinks out into the alleyway between the two buildings. Definitely a beautiful area to be when the weather is nice.

Both locations had great music! They have games inside, a pool table, bar, it's really a very nice size inside. Also the patio is super dope! We are DEFINITELY going back soon and the drinks were good! They don't have food or anything though. Good Service as well!!

From…read morethe moment you walk in, you're greeted by some of the friendliest and most talented bartenders in town. They know their craft, they remember your drink, and they make everyone feel like a regular--even if it's your first time. Shout out to Brooks too! He's a great addition to the team. The atmosphere is unbeatable--warm, welcoming, and just the right mix of lively and laid-back. Whether you're inside enjoying the cozy vibe or out on the deck soaking up the fresh air, it always feels like the perfect place to be. The deck, by the way, is a total game-changer, offering a great spot to relax with friends and enjoy a drink under the stars. Every time I step into The Tap, I feel like I belong. It's more than just a bar--it's a community, a home away from home, and a place I'll keep coming back to time and time again. If you're looking for great drinks, even better people, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back, The Tap is where you want to be!

The bartender, Justin, is super friendly, always keeping up with the drinks, and the drinks themselves are half the price of the bar across the street. The outdoor patio seating is perfect on a nice evening. It has a mellow, relaxed vibe and everyone seems so calm. I love it. FYI: They don't serve food though, so 21+ only.

I had looked at the instagram page before arriving and saw a drink that I wanted to try. I couldn't remember the name when I got there and asked for the drink menu. I was given a look that made me feel like I was wrong for asking for it. One of the patrons was nice enough to show me a basket with menus in it. I ordered the drink and went to find a seat with my friends. Even though it was fairly crowded, there was ample seating. One of my friends ordered the $5 old fashioned and ended up ordering several more. Definitely a great deal for the price and alcohol ratio. I chose the hoopla and then a sidecar. Both were well executed. I wanted to try some of the food, but unfortunately we had eaten before arriving. Several people we spoke to said the jerk wings were a must try so I'll definitely come back for those! Outside of the first interaction with the bartender, the other one was very pleasant and continued to serve us with no issues.
