Dopped in on a Monday night in June about 6. My buddy and I were the only customers in the place. I'm sure things would have been different if school had been in session. The place had a musty, stale odor like a damp locker room. The smell really detracted from the ambience. Maybe a full house of good-smelling folks would have helped. I hear the place picks up later in the evening, past 8.
Review Source:We visit The Tap a couple times a month for lunch during the week. Â It's close to campus and has cheap good food. Â Really good food, if you know what to order. Â The Cheesesteak, Club and Burger are all awesome and there's usually a lunch special going where you get fries and a drink included. Â Lunch is NEVER crowded, unless the radio crew is there during football season doing their show. Â If you're looking for a new lunch place then I highly recommend.
Sorry, I can't vouch for the nightlife or the drinks.
