Taps Bar & Restaurant

One hot, sweaty summer day they refused to serve me for stating on the way in that it "smells like a goddamn locker room in here."

They seem to be in complete denial about what their establishment really is, which is a cheap den of filth where you can get drunk because there's not much else within walking distance. Just don't bring it up while you're there and you'll be ok.

Taps is what a local corner bar should be. It's cheap. The staff are friendly. It's a nice place to sit down with a couple friends shoot a couple games of darts and pool and down some beers.

The bar is strictly cash. They often want verification for ID if it's out of state. So what?

If you live in the Westcott / SU Campus area and want a quiet bar to hangout at without dealing with the shithead students, this is the place to go. It's usually not busy, and I prefer that. The beers are always cheap and cold.

The owner is nice, and is there every night. I don't know how anyone would think the staff to be unfriendly.

The 1 star reviewers are just assholes with overly high expectations.

This place sucks, so much. If you're lucky enough to make it past the gestapo officer requesting TWO forms of ID for entry (because everyone grabs their drivers license AND birth certificate when they head to the bar, right?), you'd better have a wad of cash, because these cheap dicks don't take plastic. Oh, sure, they feed you some oily popcorn to go along with their paltry selection of beer, but drop so much as one kernel on the floor and you're a persona non grata.

Never have I seen an establishment with such disdain towards people willing to give them money. They think they can get away with it because they're one of only two bars in Westcott (and the other one sucks almost as much), but don't give them the satisfaction. Stay home, or go have a few drinks at Alto Cinco across the road instead.
