Visited The Tap Tavern recently because friend B used to go there in his misspent youth in the 70s and wanted to see his old stamping ground. It was mid-afternoon and completely empty (so we were pleased it was open and serving), so one could hardly say there was any atmosphere. Very nice beer, a generous bowl of mixed nuts, and pleasant serving staff. Apparently the place had changed over the intervening half century (including its name) but the perilous ascent up rickety wooden stair to the loos I guess has not changed! Be careful if you're infirm! Otherwise it's a place I'd happily recommend.
This is a great spot! They have a fantastic selection of beers on tap and the cask ale is top-notch. The staff is efficient and friendly. The only downside is that the building could use a thorough cleaning and better ventilation, as the men's restroom had a strong odor and some customers seemed to have body odor on a busy Friday night. However, as a guy, it didn't bother me too much. I would definitely come back just for the high-quality beer.
I treated myself to a drink after work before catching the bus home. I had to use the restroom and asked the man behind the bar to hold onto my drink while I did so. He did so without any hesitation and returned it to me promptly and politely. As a solo woman, I really appreciated this gesture. A big thank you to Marcus, I'll definitely be back soon!
The one thing we would have to ask is that you keep the beer list updated. Ask for number 5, get number 5. Not something else
