I tried to get into King Taps for a drink after going to the CNE with my boyfriend. Some bouncer-type dude at the door straight up lied to us saying they were at capacity and it would be over an hour wait. We saw a ton of empty tables but there were still enough people eating and getting drinks that it didn't look like they were rushing trying to close. Plus it was a quarter to ten so I didn't buy that there was magically a bunch of reservations that hadn't shown up yet. The only reason I could think of for why they turned us away was that we were dressed casually, but after we went to Cactus Club (which I think has a more upscale/bougie vibe) this was no problem and they actually treated us like people. Plus Cactus Club was MUCH busier than King Taps but they were still willing to accommodate us.
I hate being that person that gives 1 star reviews without even getting to set foot inside the place, but they didn't give me a chance to give them my business and after that experience, I definitely won't bother.
