The Tap is my absolute favorite spot in town! I love the amazing Tap beer selection and huge rotating guest options. I can always find multiple things that I like! And the food is also amazing. I like to go during lunch when it is less busy (vs night when the students come in). The staff are all always super nice and accommodating. Especially love Jarrod the brew team, Gail (manager), and Jess (bartender). Huge props to this bar for becoming such a staple in this great town.

Oh man. They have some really good burgers here! And of course a great selection of beers on tap. I enjoy coming here over summer especially, when it's not so crowded.

The Tap has the best draft beer selection in Bloomington. The food is also excellent especially the Ahi tacos and fries. I also love the fact that the servers constantly refill your water glass which is important when trying lots of beers. Gail and the servers always provide excellent and friendly service! A must visit when you’re in B-town.

The level of service here is incredibly good!! That includes the management (Gail, Chris, et al), servers like Paige, Kaitlyn, Jalyn, and many more, and the hardworking, generous pouring, bartenders. The beer, the main reason I come here, is always amazingly good, plentiful, and cold. So many varieties on tap and hundreds of canned and bottled beers so you'll never run dry. I rarely get food but when I do it has always been fresh and delicious. Come to the Tap and enjoy!!

I normally love the Tap. It's always had great food and excellent service. However, at the end of February I went in with a friend for a late dinner. Ended up with food poisoning from my favorite menu item and was sick for days afterwards. When I reached out to get a refund for my food, I heard no response back. Still have heard nothing even though I've reached out multiple times now. Disappointed that this is how they handle the situation. All I wanted was my money back for food I didn't get to enjoy

Fantastic service! And an impressive selection of beers. We’ve been here quite a few times, and the servers are always attentive. (Most recently Carson and Portia!)

I used to come here a decent amount while living in Bloomington and the service has become so bad I may never come back.
