The Tap at West End

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  Awesome staff and great group of regulars (except for the really annoying Iowa fan named Michael L haha).  Drinks are very reasonably priced and the bartenders are quite good at what they do.  A good bar is all about atmosphere and service and it doesn't get better than The Tap.  If you're ever in Winston Salem, I highly recommend stopping in this neighborhood gem.

  It's a bare-bones bar, but they're good at what they do. The inside has a clean, modern feel that reminds me of places in Dallas. It's by no means pretentious though, and I always seem to enjoy the music, which tends to be pop through the decades. They have a few tall tables, a few couches, and a couple flat screen TVs. Also, there's a patio for warm summer nights. I think they have a good group of regulars, which seem to be comprised of Wake students and yuppies (or at least young people), and a friendly staff. It's worth a visit.

  Another bar regulated by the NC state rules of requiring memberships to enjoy drinks at non-eating establishments.
  
  I'm a member. Probably cost me a buck to join, maybe it was free. I can't remember.
  
  Cleaner and less of a dive than the other half dozen bars in and around the West End like Opera House, Black Bear, Gatsby's, etc. It has a decent outdoor space and good location across from Hanes Park.
  
  Pros: I've remarked at the "good pour" i've received on numerous occasions. Good deck on warm nights.
  
  Cons: I've seen cops hang out across the street near closing time so beware. No good noshing joints nearby. College crowd on certain nights (although that could be a "pro" depending on your outlook).
