International Tap House

iTap is pretty great. It's a little dimly lit for my taste, but the overall vibe is low key and perfect for a few drinks.
   Our waitress was so nice when we came in for an afternoon drink, and even nicer when I asked about creating a flight. After telling her I enjoy wheat beers, ciders and the like, she came up with a flight of fruity beers and ciders that I had never tried. It was a great flight, even though it was a little more expensive than other places I have had them made at ($14, but it's quality beer!) They have a book that lists all of their beers--and it is a little overwhelming, but everyone knows what they are talking about. I've been told you can also get a "passport" to document what beers you tried and if you liked it or not to keep track, which I think is unique and awesome at the same time.
  They don't serve food but you can order from other places (like Epic Pizza, Bogarts and other surrounding spots I think are great) and eat while you test all sorts of International/Local brews.
   I also love the chalkboards, bottle capped table tops and tap handles hung all over.

   If you're looking for a nice, casual spot to have a couple drinks, this is the place for you!

IF you are a beer snob: You will love this place. Adore it. Yearn for it. They have beers, both bottled and on drafts, from everywhere under the sun. They constantly are adding new selections. They have a passport club you can join. This is the spot for beer snobs in the lou.

IF you are a beer novice or "I drink whatever's cheap" of "I don't really like much beer" : You will like this place. First, you have to approach it with an open mind. You are here to explore. So tell one of the friendly bar keeps what types of beers you enjoy, what flavors you enjoy, and let them work their magic (although it probably helps to not be that person that says their favorite beer is blue moon!) They have an extensive menu you help with your selection as well.

The vibe is very chill, with plenty of comfy seating, and a gorgeous patio. When the weather is nice, you'll see plenty of dogs and the like. They don't serve food, but it's okay, Epic Pizza next store will be glad to hook you up (the 2 places are actually connected!)

Beer. EVERYWHERE. All shapes and sizes! If I believed in heaven it would look like iTap.

Oh my goodness, their refrigerated bottle selection is the size of my apartment and their draft list could keep me entertained for days!

Our server/bar tender was a very knowledgeable individual who kept my friend on her toes. He knew everything about their beer selection and wasn't afraid to tell you what you wanted to order.

As if their service and variety were not enough --- you can order a pizza from next door when those drunken munchies hit.
