| - I'm torn about this location. I want to like it. I really, really do. But it seems that every other time I go in to Taps, I have a really bad experience.
The food is okay. I love food and I'm able to find quite a few things on the menu that I want to eat. And I really love their beer battered fries in their smokey cheddar cheese sauce. They rock. However, the price of the food is about $2 more than I'd like to pay for that style of food. It's nothing special, so I'm surprised about the "special" prices.
Additionally, the service leaves a lot to be desired. One time I had good service there. The other times I was ignored by bartenders and servers alike, even though they were all standing behind the bar chatting, with no other customers in the restaurant. The last time I went to this restaurant, I saw two bartenders and a server behind the bar, two other servers working the outside patio, and one server working the main floor indoors. And since I was sitting indoors, this meant I got no service for 7 minutes while I was told to "grab a seat wherever [I'd] like." And then when the server did arrive, she just dropped off menus and walked away, without taking my drink order. We got up and left soon after that. I wonder if they even noticed we were gone. Each server seems to have an attitude problem as well, which doesn't bode well for quality service, and it definitely won't get them a quality tip.
Also, the vibe is seriously weird. It conflicts with itself in too many ways. The name "Taps" seems to portray a beer bar, probably with many craft beers on tap, right? Wrong. They've got about 12 or so. They also have a bizarre "wine bar" area in the back, which people can rent out for wine tasting parties. But their wine selection isn't that good. Also, wine doesn't flow from a tap, so I'm not sure how that all fits in. Their waitresses wear awful tennis-style uniforms with their bottoms and their tops hanging out, which would almost make sense in a sports bar. However, this place isn't set up like a sports bar in the slightest. They also sometimes have live musicians play on weekends, which is a nice thought, but the set up is so acoustically-challenged that the music is much too loud and diners can't enjoy their meals with their meal companions.
All in all, I can't imagine that I'll be going back to this bar again. There are too many things about it that give me the creeps, including the fact that the owner is a slimeball who pats people on the butts and walks around without shoes on. Seriously.
