I need to get back to the Village Tap just for the beer garden. I was here when it was chilly, and the whole patio is walled and ceiling-ed, so you don't get cold. But I imagine it's awesome in the summer.
Village Tap was the location of my first Dragon's Milk. I had a few, and I probably should not have ridden my bike home. That stuff is stronger than a cocktail!
I like the picnic table vibe in the back room. It's super casual but not divey. And the beer list is long.
I enjoyed The Village Tap - even in the winter (this place boasts their beer garden / patio).
The patio area is covered and heated in the winter so that it's still accessible in cold weather. And even then, I really enjoyed sitting back there. Â a. it was more quiet than the bar area, and b. It reminded me of being at a camp cafeteria (not in a bad way) - it's loaded with wooden picnic tables, and there is a tall brick wall with ivy creeping up the side. Â It's the kind of patio that you'd dream about having at your own house.
My date and I ordered some burgers with regular fries and sweet potato fries - Â everything was pretty good. Â My turkey burg was served on a buttery brioche bun - I love those things. Â They have a nice variety of beers too. Â
I shall return in the summer months to experience the picnic tables in the sunshine.
