I am a huge fan of the tap house. This is your "get off of work have a beer" spot-type of place. Equipped with a jukebox, shuffle board, darts, booths, tables, full range bar with low priced drinks and full variety menu. Open 24/7. Service is great. NOT SMOKEY.
I absolutely love their jamaician spicy flavored hot wings/fingers! This is bar food so don't expect top of the line but I was surprised at how good the wings were. Overall the atmosphere is chill, I love meeting up w friends here and I always have a good time :)
After visiting some GREAT dive bars on this Las Vegas trip . . . this one left us wanting so much more . . . the bar was packed with regulars . . . and the drinks came quickly and were reasonably priced.
We were ther at shift change . . . and when the change was complete . . . 3/4 of the bar left . . . not quite sure why . . . becasue the service seemed to stay the same . . . it just left us wanting more.
One last thing . . . if you are going to make a shrine to you favorite football team . . . you might want to move it away from the front door . . . unless you only want to attract those fans.
On the fence as to whether or not a return trip will occur.
I love the Tap House! I enjoy every Monday night here. It's very "Old School Vegas" and I love it. With a live band every Monday night this place gets unbelievably packed. You have to literally reserve the chairs or your not getting in. The owner Jimmy is such a sweetheart and always takes care of us when we come in. Not to mention the food is great too! Flowing wine, live music and a dance floor you can't go wrong here!
Review Source:OK! Two words. GREAT PRICES.
Great prices on food, great quality. The product may not be what you pay for but I definitely see myself getting a bang for the buck every time I pay a visit.
My girlfriend and I pay a visit every couple of months or so. We used to smoke cigarettes, that's long forgotten about but we don't mind those that do. So yes, it is a smoky bar. But get over it, it's a bar. Want a bar without smoke? Go to Applebee's.
We go for the 3.50 Hoegaarden. A belgian import. Blue Moon's Idol. Shock Top's Idol. The beer that puts both Blue Moon and Shock Top to shame. Hoegaarden was the originator. The first Belgian White. So give it a whirl. It's expensive. 8 to 10 dollars a six pack so if you want a full pint on draft for less go to the Taphouse.
We drink the Hoegaarden with the pizza, original crust. Throw some veggies on there, a little pepperoni, sausage or meatball and it's a done deal. Great pizza. A bang for the buck and a cool laid back place to take my lady.
The service may not be 100 percent but damn those ladies get it right. Shuffleboard is available for play too. Cheap drinks, cheap food for a good experience. I can't protest.
The ONLY reason this place is getting two stars is because they are hands down (so far) my favorite place to go after a night of drinking for pizza and wings. I love the Cajun wings and their ranch, it is so delicious! Â Their pepperoni pizza is great too, however, slightly over priced during daytime business hours; runs about 12$ after tax. Â After midnight the pizza is half off and so worth that 5 something. Â
Now, the whole reason I didn't give this place higher stars is because the waitress SUCKED! Â When we got there she was quick to ask for drinks and we were also ready to order and be done because it was getting late- she ran away before we could say something. Then she brings us our waters and we say again, we would like to order and she gave us a look and said yeah ( in some crappy tone) and then walked away. Finally, three minutes later she comes back and takes the order. During my meal I quickly ran out of water, I'm using my straw making that noise getting the last sips out and she's standing right there just doing nothing. She comes over five minutes later to bring us the check and we had to ASK FOR WATER! All our cups were sitting there we all made the dang noise and still nothing. She spoke with the bartender most of the time and keep in mind this crappy service came at 330 am with only one other table for her! Â Also, she had the driest personality and was so incredibly dull and lifeless I felt like she was sucking the life and fun out of me. She made the whole experience miserable and since we only go there on the weekends in early AM i am going to have to check out other places similar because I'm not ending my night of fun with boring crappy Betty the waitress, or whatever her name was.
Tap house needs to straighten this out ASAP!
Their dry wings prove that the sauce is not always the boss! First thing first, they are definitely smoker-friendly, but I didn't find it any more overbearing than your average video poker hang. We just scouted out who was actively smoking and found the spot the farthest away from them. When I left, I wasn't nearly as smokey smelling as I am after visiting any casino in town.
They have a great selection of bar games, including shuffleboard, and their TVs are nice! I think they may even be getting HD because the picture quality was mighty fine. It happens to be an Ohio sports bar, so Ohio State, Cleveland Browns fans take note, and Michigan fans beware.
I actually really love the interior. There is plenty of lighting, and all of the half-circle booths (so romantic!) and high chairs are covered in red pleather, which gives it a nice touch of old school Vegas charm.
Our server, Karen, was perfect- funny, efficient and totally grabbed our names from our IDs, and then used them for the evening. When she first called us "Robert and Misti," we flipped out in a "is she stalking us?" kind of way, but she reminded us she had checked our IDs. Phew.
She recommended the Cajun wings and the pizza, so we did just that. We started off with the $2.50 side salad, which was okay, but with a couple of browning leafs. The pizza was delicious. The crust could have used a bit more crisp, but overall, the flavor and freshness made the pie worth a repeat eat (especially if they are indeed half-priced on the weekends as other reviews indicate!).
The wings were my favorite! They are dry and coated with Cajun spices, and I found myself sucking down every last morsel, which is a rare occurrence when I am eating wings. Usually, after about 4 wings, I start to lose interest, but I plowed through all 5 of my half and could have eaten a few more.
This should definitely be on your short list of classic bars to visit.
The only bad thing bad about this place is they are a cleveland browns bar and I am a diehard steelers fan. Food is friggin awesome and pizza is half off on the week ends. Chicken wings are equally awesome with ranch that is utterly addictive. And for all the fools below hating about the  smoking. Dude it's a bar. A BAR. Get over it.  More people need to go here
Review Source:I visited the Tap House one Monday evening while I was visiting Vegas. A singer from New Jersey, I'm sorry I forgot  his name, was performing there.  I had one of the best nights I have ever had in town.  People from all over the industry stopped into perform.  I had a great dinner and drinks and I think our bill was $70.00 for the three of us.  The last time I saw that many pinky rings in one room Bobby Kennedy was going after Hoffa.  The food and the service were genuine.  We shall return.
Review Source:I rarely make it up to this side of town but my husband and I were headed to Plant World and needed to have some lunch before we got our shopping started. From the outside, The Tap House isn't anything exceptional but over the years I have learned that sometimes these dive looking places serve up great food at really reasonable prices.
Little did we know that pizzas were half off on Saturdays until we were already seated and trying to decide if we should get one to split, or order separately. Â It was like fate, how could we decide on anything else when the pizza was half priced? We ended up with the thin-crust veggie pizza, with olives on only half, plus banana peppers. We also split an antipasto salad.
To drink, had a jager bomb, which was just $4.50, and I had the option of regular or sugar free Red Bull. In a town where some places charge $5 or more for just a Red Bull, this is a great deal.
Great deals mean nothing if the food sucks. This food did not suck. The antipasto salad was good sized with plenty of meat, and the pizza was cooked perfectly and loaded with toppings.
If I lived in the area, I could see myself going to The Tap House often for dinner or just drinks.
BEERS, PIZZAS, & WINGS, OH MY!
Tap House is the place to go after a stressful day at work! Co-workers and friends have been coming here to take advantage of the reserve happy (12am-?). Drinks are strong and cheap. But never send them back if they're too inebriant for you! Â
An order of LIIT (Long Island Ice Tea) is served in a beer glass and not a lowball! We all know LIIT contains ridiculous amount of alcohol, so imagine that, but TAP HOUSE STYLE! This shit will knock you out! 2 - 3 orders should be plenty enough!
Yes, the place is a rut, I mean look at the parking lot, it speaks for itself! The inside is as hole-in-the-wall, sorta remind me of an 80's Italian mafia film! The lights are dim, they may be flickering, the chairs & booths may have sunken and in dire need of repair, the hostess, waitress, or even bartender may or may not know your fancy drink, but the ambiance, location, and overall appeal is perfect for a large group of friends to talk about everything, while drinking and eating!
TAP HOUSE is a definite [Deja_Vu]!!!!!!!
Moving to Vegas from Atlanta, I wanted to immediately find my new watering hole. So I wandered around a bit, got completely lost as always.. Then I saw this sign for the tap house, advertising half off pizza! I mean, who DOESN'T want some tasty pizza while their drinking? Perfect! Even better, it's smoker friendly! I could have sworn vegas had  enacted some new smoker laws.. But I guess it's kind of like the traffic laws.. No one gives a sh*t. Anyways, the place looks like a complete dive from the outside, to the point where we almost didn't go in. Inside though, the place feels like an episode of Cheers. It's dark, it's nice and cool, and it's very obvious that most of the patrons and staff know each other. The beer is VERY reasonably priced, and they appear to other specials throughout the week as well. The pizza is absolutely delicious, awesome crust and sauce, and the garlic cheese bread is crazy good too. They also have jager bombs for 4.25, which my male loves.
I have found my new watering hole. :)
My favorite neighborhood bars. Great drink prices, the machines are loose, and there is always a few cute smiles working.
Pizzas are really good and half off on saturdays.
First impressions from the outside is that the bar is old and small but when you get inside it has a nice neighborhood bar feeling. Like the show Cheers. Â They have a restaurant area and a bar. They have an abundance of flat screens for the games and they will even change the channel for you for your favorite team. They have a large banquet area that tends to be busy all the time with different car groups and receptions.
I really like the Fellini's pizza. The bread is homemade and the cheese is delicious. The tacos on Tuesday are really good too. They are american style but they hit the spot.
FYI
I have seen families there with the kids after sport games so I guess its a kid friendly restaurant.
I always thought Tap House was just a little old bar that I drove past everyday on my regular commute to work. My organization held its last fundraiser here and it had a great turn out. The food and drinks are good and cheap, their banquet room is perfect for what we had planned, and the staff was very nice! I plan on visiting and holding more events here in the future.
(try the wings!)
For all the years I've lived in Vegas, I've driven by this place many times, and was always a little curious about it. The name "Tap House" implied a bar which specialized in draught beer. But then it also advertised itself as specializing in Italian-American food. Furthermore, rumor had it that this was the favorite watering hole of Mayor Oscar Goodman. So, last night, I finally paid this place a visit.
This particular part of Charleston Boulevard is a sight to see, because of all the original construction, which takes you back through the decades. Indeed, my visit to The Tap House was nothing but a journey through a time machine. That's exactly what this place is. It was like somebody hit the pause button in 1981 and nothing has changed here since.
The trip back through time was so intense, that I was in shock from the moment I got out of my car, until the moment I got back in my car. Of all the years I've ever set foot on Vegas soil, I have never experienced any place more iconic of "Old Vegas" than The Tap House. However, this is not at all what I was expecting on my way in.
Instead, I thought it was going to be yet another monotonous dive bar, or smoke-filled tavern that Vegas is known for. I thought for sure that I would walk out of there needing to wash all of my clothes from second-hand smoke. Prominently advertised among the headlines painted on the exterior of the building, are the words "Smoker-Friendly."
This rather small place has a door on each side, both of which were open--something else that is unlike the typical Vegas tavern. With a full set of lighted ceiling fans, this place is not dark enough inside to be considered a true dive bar. Furthermore, one of the first things I noticed upon entering was the absence of second-hand smoke, despite the fact there were a few people smoking at the bar. This place has good ventilation, better than most Vegas taverns.
The jukebox, operated entirely by the regulars, played classic 80's hits throughout my entire visit. In fact, I was the only person who wasn't a regular. I felt like I had walked onto the set of the former television classic, "Cheers." The bartender and server blended right in with the patrons. They wore normal clothes, smoked cigarettes, drank, and socialized with the patrons. Together, they are one, big happy family. During my visit, they all pitched in to help drape a Christmas garland on the bar's overhang. It was a scene right out of a movie.
Every single aspect of this place is old school, including the red vinyl furniture, the original, stained glass windows, decorations, and menu. It is truly a sight to take in, with too many details to include in this review. The folks are friendly and down-to-earth. At one point, the people sitting to the left and right of me were having a conversation about who wrote the lyrics to the songs that Elvis was famous for.
The tap selection is not extensive compared to other places nowadays, but it is composed mostly of craft beers. The menu is simple. I had a cajun chicken sandwich and fries, along with a pint of Hoegaarden (the original Belgian white ale that Blue Moon copied). The prices here are very inexpensive.
Overall, the experience here is literally a museum of Vegas history. The unique community of regulars is something that is unseen or unheard of elsewhere in Vegas, given the usual anonymity which prevails in most bars and restaurants. The Tap House is also surprisingly free from riffraff. I highly recommend this place to round out the Vegas experience, whether you live here, or are visiting.
By the way, this place is also home to Cleveland Browns fans during NFL season. There are plenty of flat screen televisions inside, which make it easy to watch sports from wherever you happen to be sitting.
I am rarely voluntarily away from Vegas for long. Sure there are those times that the state wishes I occupy one of their rooms for 3 to 6 years, but we have all had those times. Â
I came back for my birthday and I visited many of my old haunts. I was longing for nostalgia. I was longing for strong drink. I was longing for weak companionship. I hit many of my favorite places...and the Tap House was one of them.
I longed to play shuffleboard, drink beers and listen to good music. When I am near Summerlin there is only one place I go to. So I swung into the bar around midnight and spend the rest of the night throwing back drinks with friends.
The pizza was half price and that was just right for us. We tried three of the pizzas and they were amazing. I also had to order my favorite Chicken Parmigiana. It was as wonderful as usual.
Right next door used to be a Las Vegas institution called Fellini's. Â They have since moved their restaurant to the Sun Coast Casino to ply their trade. The good news is that they still deliver their freshly made sauces and they are amazing as always. Â So you basically get to eat the same food for half the price and get reasonable priced drinks.
The bartender knew it was my birthday and comped me drinks and was totally cool. He treated Rex like the way Rex demands to be treated. It is important to treat Rex well...and he knew that. He could see it in the eyes.
I want to address the smoking issue one person brought up...and I will say...grow up! Â People smoke in bars...but very rarely do they get to smoke in a place with a great shuffleboard table and amazing food.
I have removed one star because they have a crappy jukebox that plays edited songs. Ridiculous. Good music on there but not all the songs you would want.
Go. Go often. Drink. Drink to Rex. You always should.
Get the chicken wings!! They are made dry (not saucy wet). Â The cajun is the best. Â the rest of the food we hav e tasted is mediocre at best--but the wings blow them all away! Two friendly waitresses. Â We have only been there about 5 times since we started going about 10 weeks ago and they know what we drink! Â Yes, how they allow smoking and food, I don't know.
Review Source:Starting with the previous review, I don't know what the smoking laws are here in Vegas, but  they make no sense as applied in this place. The take out window is the only thing that is non-smoking. That said, I think the smoking laws are kinda silly so it didn't bother me. Everything else about this place did...
The food was nothing special and bordered on horrible. Garlic cheese bread was soggy in some places while overbaked around the corners. Chicken tenders were clearly just reheated out of a frozen bag , which could be alright since they come flavored-dipped, except they give you 4 of the most pathetic looking pieces for $8 and the sauces sucked. If you're looking for good bar food you can do 1000x better elsewhere in Vegas; if you're looking for crap, then I guess you've discovered the right place.
Bar food can be hit or miss, so what else is going on at Tap House? $3.50 for a on-tap Hoegaarden wasn't bad, but it was a rather small glass given what can be had at other area sports bars. Their beer selection is average; nothing special.
Finally, what brought me to this place. They advertise themselves as the home of Cleveland's sports teams, so being a Cleveland sports nut, I decided to go here for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Bad call. Half of the crowd wasn't paying any attention, which while not the place's fault, probably wasn't helped by the fact that half the TVs were on other things (replays of old Dodger games and trivial pursuit reruns). Adding insult to this injury? Their placemat that proclaims their love of the Cavs SPELLS CAVALIERS INCORRECTLY (see the picture I've uploaded). Seriously guys? That's inexcusable.
So to recap: don't come here for the food, not worth coming here for the drinks, and definitely not an actual Cleveland sports bar. This leaves us with no real reason to come here at all. Good riddance.
*Smoker friendly, as advertised on the sign outside.
I guess "smoker friendly" means non-smoker hostile. They brazenly ignore the non-smoking law enacted by voters.
I was invited to join a gathering here. I came away with my clothes reeking of cigarette smoke. Â My sinuses were clogged with smoke stench. This is one reason I stay away from crappy bars like this.
Meanwhile reports from fellow attendees were that the food and drinks are good. Â I had a martini for $5.50. Â Is that a good price? Â I seldom frequent these places so I wouldn't know if $5.50 is a good price.
The waitress was a sweet old gal. Â She was so friendly she was kind of cute.
Meanwhile, a very young waitress informed me that standing in the bar area is not allowed. Â I would have to find a seat, even if it meant sitting with strangers at a table. Â What? Â I've been in numerous bars where at least half the crowd stands.
"Is it a fire regulation?"
"Sort of," she said.
So how do you like this? Â The Tap House openly defies state law enacted by voters but insists on an inexplicable restriction on standing at the bar. Â They're a neighborhood institution, so I'm sure they'll do fine without me.
If you enjoy the typical smoke-filled dive, this is the place for you.
