    They dont serve food there. Great place though. I go there every year for 9/11 with my brothers from my firehouse

    At first we got the impression not to be very welcome and were treated a little rude by the staff, but after the place was going empty, the bartender apologized and even gave us a free beer.In my opinion it takes a lot of courage to do so and we really appreciated this gesture. So 5 stars is less then i would give, since it is really a nice place with fair prices and a cool atmosphere.

    Cool local haunt with a good pool table, a jukebox and free popcorn

    Had a blast when I was visiting New York

  • Review 6 (2018-01-18 - Rating: 4)

    Come here and meet four or five friends to have drinks after a long week. Tap a Keg is welcoming and the bartenders are awesome, Im not sure if they are trying to instill some kinda craft-brew vibe given their name, but all of the beers are fairly standard. This is a nice hole in the wall kind of a joint with a pool table in the back. The long Island iced tea is $14.

    Update; the scene at this bar almost got better post pandemic. the pool is just as serious and the crowd is a bit more lively then i remember. dont expect a group of college arsholes to pull up because they usually right away when they realize theyre not new york enough to stay. didnt know they have a chess board in house.strongly implore ya to get tacos from the mexican deli right down to the right- some of the best tacos in the city!!!!!theyre popcorn mix is tasty though. they throw goldfish and popcorners in it so its salty and dopegreat dive bar and the tenders are usually funny and brute. good spot for serious pool players

    Great local scene! Great mix of Columbia grad students and older people to keep this place poppin into the wee hours. I came here during a snowstorm with my siblings and had a great time. They ended up singing some Camrom song with one of the regulars and it was a great time. Ask for their popcorn -- free and so delicious!

  • Review 9 (2023-09-11 - Rating: 4)

    No frills dive bar with a pool table which isn’t easy to find in Manhattan and good dive bar music. Be prepared to pay Manhattan prices on the drinks.

  • Review 10 (2018-03-12 - Rating: 5)

    Good pool table and good players keep you on your toes. You want a bar? This is it. Maybe no frills or nonsense, but isnt that what a bar is all about? Come and drink up!

  • Review 11 (2016-12-17 - Rating: 5)

    Great beer selection! And great food too! I had several chocolate porters and chocolate chip beer with curry chicken with homemade nan bread and the spinach dip! Yum!! Enjoy!

  • Review 12 (2024-04-30 - Rating: 5)

    Great to see so many old friends and enjoy the sports and drinks

  • Review 13 (2019-06-30 - Rating: 5)

    Great local. Bit of a dive, but nice bartenders and a clean bathroom. Locals are wary, yet friendly. Good pool table.

  • Review 14 (2021-05-06 - Rating: 5)

    Good martinis. Unpretentious, friendly place.Have to go to 5 stars. They have outdone themselves in customer service. You will be happy or they will make you happy.

  • Review 15 (2019-04-28 - Rating: 5)

    TV sitcom version of Cheers on the Upper Westside. Fan tastic happy hour prices incld Sunday 12-7pm. Pop corn gratis. No food available. Cozy spot.

  • Review 16 (2019-12-10 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic place, a real New York local, great cocktails, tremendously friendly staff, and some of the nicest patrons you could meet. A must if you are in the area

  • Review 17 (2023-07-04 - Rating: 4)

    Another quick stop for me, but worthwhile. Will try to explore more next time Im up that way. Probably worth another visit.

  • Review 18 (2019-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    This place was exactly what I thought it would be. Very affordable with sports on all TVs and a relaxed environment.

  • Review 19 (2022-03-02 - Rating: 5)

    Bartenders and regulars are super friendly. I always make it a point to stop by when I’m in the area.

  • Review 23 (2024-06-14 - Rating: 5)

    A great place to have a beer. Ive been coming here for close to 20 years. Its the only dog-friendly bar in the area.

  • Review 24 (2023-11-03 - Rating: 5)

    Bring quarters. IYKYK. Music is the best playlist in any bar Ive been to in the area.

  • Review 25 (2023-06-17 - Rating: 4)

    Very decent dive bar, inexpensive for the location. Drinks were adequate, did not try the food unfortunately. Bartender Ruth is an OG, will be visiting again regularly.

  • Review 26 (2022-10-14 - Rating: 5)

    The bar maid made our decision to step in for the first time well worth it! Generous buy backs and good conversation, laid back and friendly atmosphere. Recommend!

  • Review 27 (2016-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    Nice place , cozy. Very mellow crowd. Pool table.

  • Review 28 (2022-12-21 - Rating: 4)

    Place is great in every way except;The one regular who bounces from table to table. Voice, over all the music. Youll know who it is when you arrive. Its just annoying. And after a long day, I dont want to hear so much of that. Just want to drink, not listen to someone yell, about every thing.Other than that guy, amazing place.

  • Review 29 (2022-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    Local dive on the UWS with lots of regulars & some really great pool players. Very casual & love the grouchy Bartender.

  • Review 36 (2019-03-16 - Rating: 4)

    Sweet location right on Broadway. Classic cozy bar...dark and a respite from the citys grind. Happy hours good and drinks strong. Not fancy but thats a compliment.

  • Review 37 (2018-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    I like the fresh popped popcorn at a bar instead of salted peanuts

  • Review 38 (2018-09-13 - Rating: 5)

    This place was awesome! Me and my mate popped it as it opened with the intention of just having a quick drink but didnt end up leaving until six and a half hours later! Caitlin the barmaid was lovely, entertaining and really helpful. As two tourists in a locals bar we were really made to feel welcome. Cant recommend the place enough.

  • Review 39 (2022-02-22 - Rating: 5)

    Very much a neighborhood bar. Everyone knows your name kind of bar. Theres a pool table where many pool champs come to play. The drinks are not fancy but are very well priced!!!!

  • Review 40 (2022-05-19 - Rating: 5)

    Best late night dive bar located in the UWS. Always a story to hear or tell at that bar.

  • Review 41 (2023-01-07 - Rating: 5)

    Closest thing I could find to a midwest dive bar. No miller unfortunately

    Nice bar with good prices for drinks

  • Review 46 (2019-11-20 - Rating: 5)

    Visiting from out of town and our hotel was near by. What a great find we made when we walked upon this place! Friendly service and great prices!

  • Review 47 (2013-11-13 - Rating: 5)

    Quintessential hole in the wall, and I love it. Has a pool table, jukebox, flat screens, and its a very, very low key scene. Typical neighborhood bar vibe. Weekday bartenders are normal, nice people (so if youre looking for uber-hot 22 year old unemployed actors with a terrible attitude, this isnt your place). This bar is for adults. In addition, they do not serve food, so you can order in from any of the surrounding restaurants. Tap a Keg keeps it simple. Just the way it should be at a dive bar. :)

  • Review 48 (2013-11-14 - Rating: 4)

    Great neighborhood bar! Its a great place to hangout after work. They have pool tables, good music, and free popcorn! Its fun any day of the week.
