“ Food was great, double burger was very tasty and juicy, one of best I had recently. Coctails also amazing! ”
“ Great spot for beer, cocktails and wine - something for everyone. And their food is phenomenal. Wait staff is friendly and makes well balanced delicious cocktails ”
“ My son took me here for my birthday He raved about how exceptionally good the food is and I was like okay let's go find out! I am very picky about food and my beer. From outside not much appealing, But once u walk-in the atmosphere inside is very laid back! All the staff were very friendly and welcoming specially one guy behind the bar that had a red shirt on sorry don't know ur name! He was on top of it got our food and drink order and made sure the counter was wiped clean and welcomed us! I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries and my son ordered the mac and cheese! Let me tell u that this was one of the best fried chicken sandwiches of my life! Actythe best! The fries were cooked to perfection crispy light and thin! The chicken was out of this world yum yum yum All and all I had a wonderful time great food great selection of drinks and great atmosphere with great service. What else is there? Specially now these days which most restaurants we go to are a disappointment, but not this one! This is by far my best bar to go too and will go back again and again. I recommend this bar Thanks guys for a great night ”
“ There is daily happy hour from 4 to 7pm. The hibiscus tea cocktail is refreshing and delicious. I love the use of decomposible straws, not the paper ones that melt but the good ones that don't melt but still kinda good for the sea turtles! The plate is not cute but the food is absolutely delicious. The tempura green beans were so addictive! Little did we expect that to be any good. It was crunchy on the outside and softer on inside. We were seated outside and unfortunately got multiple bites by mosquitoes so beware! Not the restaurant fault - we should have known. Serving size were very generous and honestly great stop for a quick bar stop with friends. ”
“ One of the best burgers I’ve ever had and the Thai chili wings were also delicious. The service was excellent; anticipating your needs before you have to stop someone and ask them. AND they give wet wipes to wipe your hands after eating wings - that alone is 5 stars in my book Great place, highly recommend! ”
“ I LOVE coming here for happy hour. They always have a good drink selection and it is usually not too busy unless there is a show nearby going on. I always get the thai chili wings, they are THE BEST wings I think I have had. I have also gotten their chicken sandwich and mac and cheese, which is amazing as well. I highly recommend visiting if you are looking for good food and drinks. ”
“ Fantastic and friendly! Went here for a few beers and lunch. The food was incredible. I highly recommend either the fried chicken sandwich or the burger. So much flavor, you can tell this place cares about the quality of their food. Highly recommended and will be back again! ”
“ This place is so cute! It definitely has speak easy vibes. The GM served us and he was so nice and welcoming. The place is a part of a restaurant group that includes the Cafe Lift locations and a Chinese/mexican fusion place that I haven’t been to yet (I didn’t realize that when I went and had just been to Cafe Lift the day before). My food was excellent (At both places). At the Taproom I had the chicken and waffles. It was so flavorful and delicious. The waffle was cooked perfectly. I poured butter on mine and then the sweet spicy sauce and then some real maple syrup. Holy cow. Add chicken for the saltiness and the sweet, sliced, fresh (mild) peppers- yes! I loved every bite. We went at 1215/1230 right after they opened. Their brunch menu is fabulous. I would say the beer selection on tap wasn’t great (you can find something you’ll like tho) and parking is meh... if you find street parking- luck you! If you can’t, right on the corner of 13th / callowhill there’s parking for 7/hr. ”
