I have been to Taste of Tops about a half dozen times because it is a pretty neat place and close to my house.
My wife and I went last night (Wednesday) with some friends at about 6pm and the place was pretty crowded. I really don't like the place when it is crowded. Thankfully the 2 couches they have were empty because I strongly prefer having a drink on a couch rather than at a regular table or on a bar stool. Anyway, we took our seats and had a wine tasting which was their 'special' thing that evening. 4 pretty good pours for $5, not bad. The wine selection was random but whatever.
My wife and I usually go there every once in a while for their beer. They normally have 10ish interesting beers on tap and have new ones all the time. We sit on the couch, chit chat, have a few beers and that is that. The service is always pretty good and they all are encyclopedias of beer/wine/liquor knowledge. I have yet to try any of their limited snack menu but I probably will soon. They have 3 or 4 simple things that don't look to bad.
I just hate it when the place gets crowded. It gets too loud and you have to yell to talk and struggle to listen to what others are saying. Maybe I'm just getting old, but it certainly doesn't help that they play music louder than they should. I think they should stick to a nice chill bar/lounge vibe. I also think they should just stick to serving beer.
