It’s Father’s Day at the Tap Room. It’s a lazy day ponied up at the bar listening to the soothing sounds of Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, and Sonic Youth with the regulars.

It’s a somber day at the Tap Room. One of our own went to the next plane on this day back in 2018. Anthony Bourdain, the inspiration for many of the trips, writings, and dishes we revere, has a stool in perpetuity at the bar.

Dammit we love a good taco at the Tap Room. Baja-style fish and shrimp tacos, tacos de carnitas, tacos de carne, tacos de pollo, tacos al pastor, tacos de lengua. A different type of TACO had us talking at the Tap Room.

Who doesn't love a good chicken. Cheffy sure does. Our regulars sure do. Not sure about Prez. We embrace TACOS at the Tap Room.

Oh, Glorious Gumbo
Cheffy does a solid gumbo. We think it'd sell in New Orleans. The Tap Room celebrates Mardi Gras a few days late due to, ahem. Insights, ingredients, and instructions follow.

LORD OF THE MEAT IS HERE.

Tariffs on Canada got us thinking about some of the more brilliant moments in recent American history. It's the discussion you'll only find at The Tap Room. Eat shorts Buffalo Wild Wings.

We love Bouillabaisse at The Tap Room, but we tend to meld its refinement with the rusticity of Cioppino. What you end up with is a saffron-infused tomato-based seafood stew livened up by splashes of Pernod, and it’s spectacular.
