Small and chill bar, very very very low-key. Drinks are strong and not expensive. Free popcorn is definitely a plus! A great place if you just want to unwind without much commotion, although you could do that at home too. Not likely to go back because that's not my type of bar, but if you're looking for something small and low-key, go for it.
Love this place! I go here with my work friends all the time. Usually some good stuff in draft. Reasonable pricing makes for a good night. Also there's a popcorn machine and you can serve yourself which is great when you're need to eat something while tipsy.
As far as dive bars go, I loved this place. The bartenders were friendly, the drinks were strong and reasonably prices, and they have free popcorn while you play pool or darts. Met some awesome locals here too.
The bartender (fat guy with a constant mean face) gave the worst service ever. I asked nicely to turn down the lights and when he acknowledge me he was very condescending. I asked another bartender to turn down the lights and she did immediately. After a few mins the bartender I asked the first time turned the lights even brighter than it was previously so we decided to close out and never come back again. Who does that?!?!? Extremely rude service and an even more terrible person. Ive been going there for years and will never go again, sadly. They should've kept Jill. That fat mean muggin bartender should not be in the SERVICE Industry. He's a joke. Complete joke of a person. The other bartender was very friendly and seemed very uncomfortable even sharing the same space with him. I feel for her. I wish her and the doorman the best of luck. It's a shame one person had to ruin the Tap. Cheers to the old times though, it used to a great bar.
Wow. What a total disappointment. Wabash Tap was recommended as a good "dive bar" which is what I was expecting. What I didn't expect was the one bartender doing pours halfway into the glass and halfway into the drain because he didn't know how to pour beer without giving you a glass full of head. While there was a good selection the beer was lukewarm at best which completely ruined it for me. No one expects warm beer from the tap and if you can't do a clean pour you shouldn't be behind the bar. I can only imagine how much income is wasted by these pours. Thank you, next.
Looking for a VERY relaxed place to meet up for a drink? This is perfect. There's a little patio in front where you can people watch too. Food isn't GREAT but you can watch them make it if you sit at the bar so... it's kinda dinner and a show?
I just love this place, as evidenced by how I stay hours longer and get way drunker than planned every time I go! The environment is no-frills, but there is touch tunes, pool tables, good food, and space at the bar- everything my husband and I look for in a bar! It's not like anything else in the neighborhood.
I love the atmosphere and the beer selection. Eats are great, too. Jill and Eddie make this place feel like Cheers! One o fd the best casual sports bars in town!
