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.
I can tell the owner cares because I see him every morning sweeping the sidewalk in front of this super dive of a bar. It  really is a dive.
From my accounts, all staff were very friendly and liberal with their bowls of popcorn. Which never stayed empty for long.
Cash only, two forms of ID unless you have your passport.
This is not a place you go for fun. This is a quite place you go for a beer and conversation.
I got real drunk here and had no problems whatsoever getting drinks or dealing with employees. Â Everyone seemed nice to me. Â It's kind of funny that they require two forms of ID, but, seriously, who the hell doesn't carry a second form of ID?
It's cash only (which is kind of odd considering they probably made you show them a credit card so you could get in) so I have no idea how much I spent but I do remember two Yuenglings and a shot cost $9 bucks at one point in time, so, it basically has average Syracuse prices, maybe a bit cheaper.
I'm torn between three and four stars, but I'm gonna go with four because the other people that reviewed this place seem to be assholes.
Least fun bar in the entire giant world of horrible bars. And I like dive bars! The owner and staff are people that hate having fun and they also hate serving beers. Especially the owner. I agree with the review of Nathan R. when he states "it smells like moldy corpses." Â Also, I believe the owner of this horrible corpse smelling bar had a face from the Goonies and is angry about it and has decided to open a bar so that he can be angry at people who made fun of him and his Goonie-face. That's all. Don't go here.
Review Source:I'd rather not drink than go here. I usually like dive bars. But that is because they are relaxed and friendly. However, this is the most up-tight place I've ever been. They don't want you to come in, and they serve you grudgingly. It smells like the moldy corpses that used to be embalmed there when it was a funeral parlor. Not kidding. Also, if you aren't a Yankees fan, watch out.
Review Source:DUMP.  This place WOULD be cool if the owner wasn't so rude.  He tries now and then to be "nice", but out of nowhere he'll be really stupid about things.  For example, this is a DIVE bar and I sat at  a table and put my feet up on an empty chair. Â
WELLL, the bouncer comes up to me and says I had to put my feet down because the owner didn't like it......hahahahahahha REALLY???? This place is a S***hole and he should be happy people go. I went a few times for its proximity to my house, however the hassle is not worth it.
