On Tap Sports Cafe

If you are looking for a good place to have a few drinks and watch a game, which I was, this is a good place to go.  They have TVs galore.  If you are hungry and looking for a good meal, which I was, this might not be the place to go.  The food was average at best.  Sure, it's a sports bar, what do you expect?  But I've had better food at other sports bars.  And their service is terrible.  The servers there were less than motivated.  I left there after my meal and went across the street to Innisfree to finish the game.  I'm sure I'll give it another try, but only for drinks and to watch a game.

On Tap is my favorite place in Birmingham to get wings. As someone who avoided wings for a good quarter of a century, I can say that On Tap's wings are the opposite of what I hated in wings. I can't stand wings that are just crispy skin and bone when you bite into them.

On Tap's wings meet my approval. They consistently have a good amount of actual meat on the wing and are deep fried to perfection. I'm usually a "hot" wing person, but On Tap's mild sauce does the trick for me (does anyone else feel like their mild is a bit spicier than the average mild sauce?).

If I'm not really hungry, I'll get the wings sampler. The boneless wings are okay and can be a nice change of pace from the actual work of eating chicken wings.

I usually get the Irish nachos as a side with my wings - I don't think you can really go wrong smothering french fries with queso and bacon. Add a nice cold beer to the equation and you've got a great meal.

A decent sports bar to grab a drink and watch a game. Nothing special here though. The food is general pub fare but it was tasty enough. We stopped there on St Patricks day and they had a decent crowd going.  Biggest negative was the nasty pile of vomit in the sink in the men's bathroom. But, like I said it was St. Paddy's day and I'm sure this isn't a regular occurrence. I'd visit again to catch a ball game.
