Labeled in maps as great dive bar…. And that it is, old school neighborhood dive bar, with poll table, pin ball, darts, and skee ball.We were in for a Saturday happy hour that offered some great prices on drinks and food, we had muscles that were delicious, cheese curds that were probably the best cheese curds I have ever had with smoked ketchup and some home made chips.Nikki was our server and was on top of her game, great service smile and sense of humor,Highly recommend this place if Nikki’s around tell her Casey sent ya! And have fun

Needed a pair of cheaters to read the menu and the bartender found a pair. Can't ask for more than that?

The food is always delicious. No matter what I get. Service is usually slightly lacking, servers seem distracted or forget something.It's drafty by the window. If there's more than eight people it gets really loud really quick. They should put some sound absorbing panels in or something because when the place is full it is super loud. Maybe that's part of the appeal for some folks though? Like the whole loud neighborhood dive bar atmosphere?Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread and bun

We had a coupon so we came here and it was GREAT! Fun to try a new spot for us. Loved the bacon burger! Skee ball and pool was a fun addition to the evening.

I'm always on the lookout for charcuterie plates. I've had good ones and not so good ones over the years. So it came as a wonderful surprise when I happened upon the Pig Out Plate at Pat's Tap. It was the highlight of my visit.The food is tasty, the drink menu is large and inventive, and there's skee-ball. What more could you want?Edit 2023: what happened to the food? The last time I was there a month ago, the pig out plate was awful. Everything tasted like it was straight from a grocery aisle, and one of the “relishes” tasted identical to Pace salsa from a jar. One of the cheeses tasted and looked like the square cut Cracker Barrel sharp cheddar blocks.

Fun and cozy place to grab a drink. Come for the ski ball, stay for the ski ball.

Very cool neighborhood bar. Mac & Cheese was exceptionally awesome. Service was great. Our daughter recommended it for us, and it did not disappoint. Good beer selection, fun atmosphere. We'll be going back soon.

The vibes are high here. We went for trivia, which doesn’t seem like a money maker for them, but the wait staff was still on their A+ game and very attentive despite only getting a couple rounds of drinks at the table. Definitely a multi purpose type of place, it can be a dive bar with skeeball and pool, or can be a place you belly up to the bar at, or it could be a dinner/date night out. Great vibes.

A dive trying to convince everyone it's a "gastropub". Raising prices, taking away things people actually like, and shrinking plates. They're out of something I ask for every time I visit. Someone please open up some competition around here because they don't deserve this neighborhood. They have zero reason to change as it is.Staff is always stellar, management is always out of touch.
