The City Tap

Nice laid back atmosphere though it can get unbearably loud even if a band is outside, forget about it inside. Friendly staff.A decent beer selection with specials most days of the week. They have a limited menu but good food for such a small cooking area. The soups are good, and the vegetarian Banh Mi is tasty.

Visited here for a late lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. There were folks at the bar and folks sitting outside enjoying the covered patio area. With one person behind the bar preparing drinks, food, and taking care of folks, it took a minute to put my order in. The hot dog was recommended to me and I was tempted by the three bean salad. I added sauerkraut and brown mustard to the dog. It's a really good-sized frank and most folks will probably be fine with one. It has a pillowy brioche bun that held on the toppings together really well. It was soft and had a good chew to it. They use Boars Head hot dog and I really do love the snap that comes with those dogs. That three bean salad was delicious! Sweet and tangy. Yum! I could have had a second serving.The vibe inside the place is very chill. It was a work day so I wasn't able to grab a beer but this place is a comfortable place to do just that. Give The City Tap a try!

The food we got for lunch - sandwiches and bags of chips and potato salad (they don't seem to have a full kitchen) - was good not great.The vibe however was awesome. A nice little pub, good draft beers, good service, right downtown Pittsboro.

I can't say enough--it is a local spot and the best turkey club I've had in a long time. Service was great and the staff were kind and attentive. Not to mention great live music lineups but that seems to just be Pittsboro as a whole.

It's a bar that serves food (sandwiches, snacks and soup). I ordered a cider and the tap philly with chips, my husband ordered a water and the turk-a-mole with chips and we split an order of chips with salsa and guacamole. It was okay bar food and we ended up spilling most of my cider because of an uneven table. If you want a beer, liquor or wine beverage with snacks, it's worth checking out if you are in Pittsboro (we walked over from Red Moose Brewing).

It's been awhile since I've been "wowed" and inspired to write a review. This place was outstanding. Great service, killer atmosphere, and the food/beer was incredible. Highly recommend the potato salad, unlike any potato salad I've ever had. Very unique and delicious. Small but specialized menu. Amazing Turkey panini. Chips and dip. This is a place worth traveling for. We will be back!

New to the area. Was just passing through downtown area around lunch and was starving. Stopped at a red light and saw The City Tap symbol on what looked like an old historical downtown building. Decided to wing it in there for a bite. Great downtown pub. The vibe in there is very cool. The deli sandwiches made with boar's head meats all sound great. Was in the mood for a Rueben. Was not disappointed. Staff was friendly and welcoming. If you're in the Pittsboro area you need to check it out. I can imagine this place has great live music and is jumpin on the weekends.

Such a cool experience. We had never been to Pittsboro before and we were in the area. My fiancé wanted to grab a drink and I was getting hungry. Very neat and different wall décor. Take a look around when you head over there. Their sandwiches are very good and made to order at the end of the bar, just in case you wanted to watch.

I've tried this place twice and really like it. The first visit was several months back so details are fuzzy, but we enjoyed so went again recently. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar - he had a beer and I had a margarita since they were on special ($6 so no idea how much they usually are). Margarita was tasty, and I often dislike margaritas if I can taste too much tequila. Boyfriend had the turkey sandwich and I had the Italian - we both enjoyed. I only ate half but heated my other half up at home later and it was way better heated. I had chips and he had some kind of apple slaw that he loved. It's a cute place and I like the service. We had the same bartender both times, and she's not overly friendly and chatty (which I appreciate), but she is pleasant and fast which is what I hope for at restaurants. Will definitely be back - I want to try the Mediterranean which sounds fantastic.

Went to Pittsboro to meet a friend, thought my husband and I could go out for a nice Sunday afternoon meal. Unfortunately, that did not happen. My husband has mobility issues and there is no handicapped access to the dining area. There is a covered patio that is accessible, but they do not offer table service in that area. No one was there to greet us, and another customer had to explain that you have to order inside, up a flight of stairs and they would deliver to your table. Very disappointed. We left. Going up and down all those stairs is not an option for us, and I really wanted to be able to enjoy a meal without having to work for it. How have the owners never heard of the ADA (Americans with Disability Act) and how did they ever get a permit without handicapped access?
