Town Tap

Reviews & Tips

  This is a pretty awesome, authentic, town tap.  Full of locals having a drink or two or 12.  Cute girls tending bar.  Add in a few random visitors like me drinking after a day of Turkey hunting or Trout fishing or whatever.  You won't get a second look sitting at the bar in full camouflage- a real country place.  On a Saturday night EVERYBODY for miles around ends up here.  
  
  So I have many reasons for really liking this place myself:
  
  1st- at the Gays Mills apple fest this bar had a "float" in the parade.  The coolest thing ever- an early 70s Olds 442 with a "Halvers Tap" sign taped to the door (see pics), doing massive burnouts, then slamming on the brakes.  Repeat this all around the block.  Really awesome.  I discussed how impressed I was with Mr. Halver the other night and he told me they'd gotten an 82 year old friend to drive and do the burnouts last year- how do you beat that?  You can't- period.
  
  Also, this place is pretty hard drinking and rock-n-roll!  The juke box is loaded with interesting, pretty hard music and the staff is into it.  I heard one dude defend his recent Poison selection as "kind of old school."  haha- great!  But really, Poison's about the worst crap in there.
  
  And they have a regular dude who hangs out back hustling pool games.  I swear to God this dude is Satan- skinny with long dark hair, dark shifty eyes, fair skin, sleeveless t-shirt, prison tattoos, missing teeth, the works.  I looked at him for quite a while because he looked so familiar, but I've never met him I'm sure.  Satan has that effect on a person I hear.
  
  So yeah, Halver's Tap is cool- you'll meet lots of interesting locals, get ripped on cheap beer, and have an all around good time.
