Columbia Street Tap Room & Grill

Cozy neighborhood bar set on the corner of one of the busiest streets in Covington. Everyone here knows somebody. You may not know that couple, but you will by the time you leave the place. The atmosphere here fosters conversation and warmth. Don't let the divey ambiance fool you; the food is fantastic. The gumbo is some of the best I've had in the New Orleans metro, hands down. Fresh Gulf fish, Veal, and tomahawk porkchops also make an appearance worth trying. If you're looking for a place to write home about, you've found it.

The Columbia Street Tap Room has long been the go to corner bar in downtown Covington. Located in a vintage building and home to musical entertainment on weekends, it's somewhat of a local institution. My wife and I stopped by on a busy Friday for lunch and enjoyed the efficient and friendly counter service, the sandwiches and draft beers, as well as the laid-back, extremely casual vibe. Don't expect fancy here, but you can expect a tasty sandwich (the All American burger and the patty melt are my favorites) and a good frosty brew.

I decided to drop in and try a burger because people have raved to me about them. I didn't realize the kitchen closed at 2 so i hurriedly ordered a burger and took a seat. People were getting ready for live music and were scurrying around. Nice feeling and atmosphere. The burger arrived and it was delicious! One of the best I have had! I will be back!

Solid local place in downtown Covington along historic Columbia Street. What comes along with the great bar foods/sandwiches, and ridiculous selection of craft beers, will be a really great live music venue! Many weekends you can see a fabulous live music act along with the ability to be served great drinks and food. Many Covington locals know this is their "go to"!

Great music venue. Food not so much. The Seiler bar next door is much better. So enjoy.

I've been here a few times. I mainly come here for the craft beer. They have a good selection and always rotating to new Louisiana releases .

This is a pretty cool looking bar and if I lived in the area I would likely frequent this place. It is a bit confusing as the bar is part of another bar the "Seiler Bar" which as it was explained to me is only open at night and serves more fancy food. I found myself wondering if the people that opened and ran this place might be confused folks from Alabama that need to name their schools/teams multiple things like with Auburn's war eagle, tiger, plainsmen etc. etc. All joking aside there were really nice folks working here and it does seem like a pretty nice joint with a good ambiance. Well I had already eaten half of a Bear's roast beef po boy but I rarely get around this part of the Northshore so I decided to push my limits and get their small burger which was decent but I have most assuredly had far better burgers and this small burger would not compete on the Southshore. Overall I think this would be a cool bar to hangout in but I would probably sample some of the other food before I would try the small burger again and they do have a larger version that might be better and more juicy delicious. I am sad I did not find the patio or even know of it's existence until I read other reviews of this place in more detail after my visit as it was a glorious day and the patio would have been fantastic. I certainly need to further investigate this establishment during proper night time hours.

Absolutely fantastic spot. Food here is great. Patty melt, great. Poutine, great. Wings, great. Excellent beer selection. Quick service on a busy night. The only real criticism is that the servers don't take orders at the table. You have to go to bar to order. Not that it's a problem, but we sat there for a few minutes before we figured things out. Love this place.

My wife and I have been here a couple of times over the last two months. We come for the beer. But we have had two pretty good eating experiences here. One night we had the wings special and a burger that we split. Both of those were really good. A few of the wings were overcooked, but Otherwise it was a good meal. But then we came for Thursday night steak night. My wife got the ribeye and I got the prime rib sandwich. Until then I had never had a good ribeye at a steak night. They're always chewy and overcooked. This one was cooked perfectly And was incredibly tender. The flavor was fantastic. But my prime rib sandwich was even better. Again it was cooked perfectly. The bread was delicious and soft. Everything was fantastic. And the beer selection is always on point.

Food. service and best bar in area. Seen some of the negative comments and they hilarious. If you are not sitting at the bar: read sigb-order FOOD here ya pretentious a holes. And Seiler bar and Tap HAVE THE SAME KITCHENGood god, you people should stay home. We do not want you out.
