Twenty Tap

The concept is completely wrong for this place.  This is a beer place but it is way too restauranty and kid-friendly right now!  To sum up my experiences here I will say I agree with the 2-star reviews for this place.  I got food poisoning the last time I was there (3-2-2013) and was barely satisfied the 3 times prior.  My conversation topics were limited due to proximity of the 2 to 10 year olds present in this place.  Their saving grace are the appetizers and beer!  So here's my idea.

Throw out the menu completely and limit it to just appetizers/small plates (aka the good stuff!).  I'd make sure the beers are in stock, rotated, fresh, and plentiful.  I don't think it would hurt to have a bigger selection or variety of wine for the non-beer drinkers.  I would also modernize the decor (just looks way too thrift-shop and old/dusty inside), get rid of the booths and have mostly bar tables and stools.  It's hard to move and breath in that place.  I feel locked into my booth, which I hate, (especially when I have to pee!)  No kids allowed.  Again, no kids allowed.  And finally, I'd move this place directly across the street to where the huge parking garage is under construction on Broad Ripple Ave.  Parking problem solved, and it would bring in business from all over the city with it's increase in accessibility!  

Currently, this place is way too small to maximize it's potential.  Someone with the time and funds should look at The Tap in Bloomington and basically bring that to BR Ave. (specifically, where Scholars Inn Bakehouse or Peppers used to be).  It'll attract Butler students, young professionals, and even the middle-aged/older fun crowd.

If this place chooses to exist as it is currently, then they must step up the game on service, cleanliness, and food quality/taste in order for my return, otherwise I think this is a pointless place to meet for a drink during peak and non-peak drinking hours.

Great beer, great food and kid-friendly!

Friendly staff, GREAT food.
