The Tap

It's decently priced and all the food on the menu is great. Service was quick and friendly

I know the picture sucks, but the pizza was worse. It was about 5 minutes under cooked. I have no idea how they took it out and thought it was done. Grab a drink here and eat at a Purdue place that is known for good food.

Had a great lunch! Caroline was so attentive and we just kept throwing questions at her. We so appreciated the GREAT service, delicious food (FRIES WERE AMAZING- note: GET THE BEER CHEESE), and beer selection. We have been wanting to try Purple Haze- Abita- and they had it! Thank you! And Caroline ROCKS! Would have sat and drank MUCH MORE beer- but- alas- it's only noon

Taylor is amazing, what a guy!! Thank you for such pleasant service! Food was good as always, and the peppermint chocolate bomb is a great seasonal shot!

Let me start by setting the scene. This location is located on the Purdue campus in West Lafayette. We visited on a Sunday afternoon during the summer when school is out so it was not busy at all.First impression was, why are there kids in here? It clearly states that it's a 21+ establishment, but the table next to us had three underage (tweens) at the table.The food was good, but I don't see myself eating here again as it just doesn't have "the vibe." I love a nice restaurant as much as I love a good dive. This was neither. Have you ever been in a nightclub during daylight hours when everything is lit up and just looks wrong? This felt like I was in a nightclub during daylight hours. Everything in here is black. During the day it just looks blah and dirty with all the black. Considering they weren't busy, it wasn't kept very clean. There was a table with two buckets of water on them and water sloshed around, but no staff around it so I'm not sure why it was sitting there like that. When the table next to us with the tweens left, the busser came and wiped down the table, wiping all of the crumbs onto the seats and floor and leaving them there. The seating is all high tops or bar seating. This isn't somewhere where I could bring my older parents to eat as it would be unsafe for them to eat at a high top and they would be uncomfortable. There are a few booth seats, but they're raised to a height too to meet the height of the high top tables. They need more variety in their seat options as I would have preferred not to be sitting at a high top as well.Overall, the food was good and obviously they have an extensive beer selection, but the place was super drab and a little dirty. I would not return.

An odd mix of extremely high prices, some beers are twelve bucks for a tiny glass, a tiny slice of cake is ten, need a basic burger and fries try twenty dollars after tip, and completely mismanaged staff; over fifty visits for trivia we had delightful and appalling waiters every other Tuesday. One of my friends worked here for a couple months and reported the entire setup is run over by no clear direction from too many opinions, it shows. The drunk campus quality wouldn't be surprising or frustrating considering Harry's is just as crazy except for how easy it is to reach fifty on just two basic drinks and a meal. Harry's and Brothers and even Buffalo Wild Wings make The Tap look like smug rich digs however one second changes that with the extremely noisy and audio assaulting indoor atmosphere. It makes for an unusual place to host trivia where we not only have to speak directly into the ears of our group to discuss the questions but also to our waiters when ordering. Seems to be a bunch of management and owners here who only ever discuss what they want for this place through emails because the lack of consistency and oversight is hilarious for a campus hotspot. Any other place especially Town & Gown, Red Seven, AJs, and even Applebees are entirely more enjoyable, consistent, easier on the wallet, and providing a better atmosphere. It is a disappointment because the massive draft selection on tap, burgers of the month are huge winners, and gathering a large group for trivia once a week should be the makings of a local hot hit! But after a year of weekly trivia, seeing the insane prices on basic average food items like the apps, desserts, beers, while getting no consistency, has run over all the fun fantastic outdoor seating, big beer menu, and incredible burgers. The Tap is more like The Crap.

Food isn't bad, it is however, quite expensive for what you get. $10 for pretzel sticks?! All the beers and cocktails are delicious, though. However, the service here can be quite terrible. One time my friend and I came in and sat for nearly 30 minutes with menus in front of us, and with no server ever came, meanwhile the, Friday night "live music" was quite literally so loud and blaring in our ears that our ears hurt. We ended up just walking out as we were ignored for sooo long. Shame too, since this has so much potential to be a great bar.

The food here is hit-or-miss but they have a nice selection of beers on tap! Love trying the craft beers every now and then.

Good service, food etc. Very crowded on a Saturday but was seated right away and service was fine. Disappointed that their CO2 was having issues, so no draft beer. Thank god for their extensive packaged selection.

It was a busy game day but didn't take too long to find a table. Ramon took care of us for the entire time we were there - he provided excellent service for a large group for both food and drinks (lots of drinks). We never had to wait which on such a busy day was amazing. Thanks Ramon!
