TAP Global Beer Collection

TAP is great as far as beer and atmosphere goes!!! All of these idiots giving bad reviews clearly were confused when they decided to check it out. Anytime I’m in the neighborhood (aka Delray Marketplace), my wife and I make it a point to stop for a brewski or two. If you’re a beer lover then I recommend this joint, if not then stay away so that you don’t give a baseless bad review.

A coupon lured me in to try one of the specialty beers on tap, and it worked! I stayed to watch the football game, eat, and drink a couple. I had the sweet chili bonless wings and a Sam Adams Octoberfest while watching the Patriots and Jags game. Couldn’t have been a more perfect pairing. The bartender was attentive and pleasurable. The location, Delray Market Place, is a place to shop and get your game face on.

This place was awesome! I loved all the wood/​timber accents. Very log cabin-​esque! I thought the bulky wooden chairs would be uncomfortable to sit in after a while but they were surprisingly comfortable. Came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn’t busy at all. The bartender was very knowledgable and suggested a beer flight to try a few different options. They have over 350 types of beer and their tap wall was quite impressive. They have a huge bar that fits many comfortably, as well as, a large dining area. The outdoor seating part would have been nice to enjoy if it wasn’t rainy out. This would be a nice place to come before or after a movie at the theater next door. Located in a great plaza with lots of shopping and dining options. Would definitely come back for another visit!

Stopped in here with some friends after a Unilocal event nearby. What a huge and diverse beer selection! I was thrilled when they had Funky Buddha’s blueberry cobbler beer on draught. I’ve been wanting to try this beer for a couple of years, and FB never has it when I’m there. It was delish!
The bar is very large and the furniture is surprisingly beautiful. Overall, I liked the atmosphere even though it was mostly empty on a Saturday afternoon. The bartender was friendly and seemed knowledgeable about the selection.
If TAP was near my house, I’d probably be a regular. You don’t get this kind of beer selection in very many places.

7÷18÷2015− My friends and I came here right after a Unilocal event at Apeiro Kitchen & Bar located in the same area, Delray Marketplace.
This Beer place is huge. It was around 3:30pm and it was pretty empty. We sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us and made some suggestions. I had the Leffe, Blonde.
My friends had the beer flights and some ordered food. The food did look yummy. I want to come back here for some live music, or an event.

The Place looks great inside with the seeting made out of Trees. Also was excited they had my favorite peruvian beer. Everything was great but i really dont think its a place for food. The food is finger food and all taste like per-​frozen crap. Please dont order the food just go in for a couple of beers and head to Burt & max’s down the street.

Great on paper, poor in person. Very disappointed in Service. Bar had 4 other patrons in it and no one was manning the bar.
Plus side, was able to taste several beers before ordering. Down side, none were appealing. Instead, ordered one of my FAVORITES (Terrapin mosaic) and it tasted tinny. Many gnats if you sit outside.
Would not return.

Huge beer selection, friendly staff. We had some wine and beer and shared the fish dip appetizer, which was good. A good place to have a beer, but not somewhere you would go to eat really. We would return.

My wife and I have been coming here since they opened. Great staff, helpful and good understanding of the beers they sell. Always friendly. The tap selection is awesome and bottle selection is great. Menu is limited but good enough if you are trying to just enjoy a few good beers.

We’ve been here many times. Great service and beers at the bar. Venture outside and you’re forgotten and service becomes either obsolete or extremely inadequate. I hope the best for this place. Great location, quality beers, cool ambiance, terrible outside service.

The service here is usually pretty bad. It’s almost as if they don’t know you they don’t care about you. Every time I’ve been in there it’s dead and still takes 20 minutes to get a beer. You’re better off just going to the taco place across the street or the bar in the movie theater.

Wow, what happened to this place? Fewer cutting edge beers, service by an untrained staff and no expanded food menu insight. The black lines through the beers on there menu says it all Too cheap to reprint the menu and beers on draft that denote selling out to the big beer interests.
Recommend the Brass Tap in Boynton until this place finds itself. BTW the music sucks and the energy is on par with a graveyard. I guess if you want a Pilsner after a movie this is a good bet.
Hope Global Tap gets it together.

I would rate them so much higher if not for the service. I sat down at a relatively quiet bar area, looked through the menu, closed and put down the menu. 5 minutes later, I took out my CC and placed it on the bar. 5 minutes later I stood up and left. Not one person working looked at me or spoke to me the entire time I was there. That was the second time in a row that has happened however the first time my it was my gf and I that were ignored. I was there one other time and had 3 very good beers. I’ll give them one more opportunity to keep my business because of convenience in location and selection. Hopefully that won’t be my last visit.

8÷16÷14 After a movie at Franks theater we came here for a drink and a bite to eat.
Not very busy this evening. We went inside and the music was quite loud. We decided to sit outside. Our waitress seated us right away.

Our waiter, Danny was great! He went over some beer selections and the samples. He was very accomodating. We sampled the Young’s Double Chocolate Stout and the St. Louise Framboise, which I really enjoyed. Very flavorful raspberry beer. I loved it and ordered it for the night.
We ordered tater outs. I ordered The Sneaky Castro: A classic Cuban with ham, pork, spicy mustard, Swiss cheese, and pickles, served on Cuban bread. My friend ordered the Timber Turkey — Panini filled with turkey, bacon, ranch and Swiss cheese. Both were serve with a small side of pasta and kettle chips. Pretty good for small plate menu.
Danny told us that in a few months they will upgrade their restaurant with a full kitchen and full menu. I look forward to checking it out then.
This is a great venue right next to the movie theater. The service is great and I like their beer selection and sandwiches. Fun place to chill out after a movie. Check it out.

This is a chill place to spend time with at the bar with a friend or two talking about your day. There are a big list of beers that you can try. If you don’t know about a few, you can talk to the bartenders about it because they’re pretty friendly and knowledgeable of the beers! If the beer you’re questioning is on tap, they’ll serve you a sample to see if you’ll like it before giving you a tall glass!
My favorites are stouts because they have a smooth and malty finish to them and make them easy to drink! My favorite stout is the left handed milk stout. If not, I’ll go for a vanilla porter (not a stout). Both are very delicious!
This place is a place you can sit for hours and hours talking about everything in the world as it’s pretty calm and quiet and the beer will get you to relax and have fun.
If you live nearby and plan on stopping in to try ALL the beer, I suggest you get their loyalty card to get points and perks. The first time you get it, they’ll give you a free snack to go with your beers.

If you drink beer then its good. But don’t bring non beer lovers there as the food is not stellar by any stretch…

It’s everything I like in a pub. Lots of Draft choices, pretty waitresses who can hold their own in beer recommendation chat and the place is clean and pleasant smelling. I love the butcher block tables, very manly.
This is the first time I’ve been here and it’s 5pm on a Sunday. They weren’t busy so our waitress Nicole was very attentive, friendly and was well versed in her knowledge of the beers.
I’ve read the other reviews for GBT and most people were upset that the beers they ordered weren’t available, which is frustrating but not the end of the world because there’s over 60 taps and hundreds of battle beer choices. My wife and I both started off with a pint and they came quick and cold. They went down brilliantly! I then asked to sample a three beers and Nicole returned quickly with two of them, one was out.
Next I ordered 6 flights, a 4oz sample glass of beer. Each one was cold, fresh tasting and crisp, presented in a round display tray with a receipt of the choices so I knew which was which.
We felt hungry and were given a selection of menus from the other restaurants in the plaza. Nicole explained that we could call and they’d deliver. We Unilocaled the reviews of the plaza restaurants, which were rough, but decided we’d go there instead of have it delivered. We ordered the pretzel sticks of their snack menu. They were hot, soft, salty and delicious. It came with mustard and Nicole offered a few more choice, which arrived quickly.
To summarize, this is a bar that specializes in beer, food is an after thought and that’s fine with me. Plenty of choice, but they must not make a habit of running out it listing brews that aren’t available. Getting a reputation of that will kill street cred, after all that’s what you’re specializing in. I’ll be back and hoping I never hear «sorry were out of that»

This place definitely has potential! My husband and I met some friends here last weekend after dinner. It was our first time out to the Delray Marketplace, so we were mostly out there to check it out.
We were impressed by the amount of different beers they had, and they had several ciders too (score)! We didn’t try any of the food, but saw that they had a small plates menu. We were pretty surprised at how dead it was for 10:00pm on a Friday night, but this may be due to the fact that the area is still relatively new.
I wouldn’t rave about TAP, but I think once the area gets to be more booming, they’ll definitely do well!

Let’s cut the sh*t, this place is basically WoB but in better location. The service on Saturday was more inconsistent than Eli Manning​‘s accuracy.
When we first arrived it took exactly 12 minutes before somebody walked over to say they’ll be right with us and then came back with just 1 menu for 3 of us to share. After that delay the service got better but also lagged in parts. I blame this on management because your staff is only as good as the​manager. Many of the staff seemed in the woods and most were pretty young, clueless even. I’m not sure how the Delray residents will take to this because patience is low and standards are high.
People say, let them work out their kinks it’s still new, I say FTS. The first impression is the most important and now that beer places are popping up like hamburger joints, our options have vastly improved.​Get your shit together folks. You spent all this money, took all this extra time to open up and now you need to make sure you have a competent staff running it otherwise you won’t see another year.
​The best thing about Tap is its location. It’s on the corner where Frank Theater s is located. They have this great outdoor fireplace and a nice patio area which makes for people watching or just an enjoying night with nature. They have a lot of TVs too. The beer list is almost​identical to WoB, with just a few less items but their tap isn’t as impressive. The staff knows literally nothing about beer too, so some basic training would be ideal. The prices are reasonable, think $ 7 for a Duvel and $ 10 – 12 for Trappiste ales. For a more laid back, more mature vibe than WoB this is a good option.

I was really looking forward to trying Tap… I saw the «coming soon» sign last year and had been waiting for them to open.
Last Friday I went and was a little disappointed. You see, I don’t know much about beers… I know I like sour ones, coffee and chocolate stouts, and wheat beers. Still I like trying new things and finding more that I like so I usually go by what my friends or the bartenders recommend.
This is a «Global» beer place… I thought they would have more options on tap, and more knowledge of the beers. I asked our server to see if they had any sour beers and she brought me one that was more sweet than sour. Too fruity for my taste. Still I drank it and decided I would change my order for the next one. I told her I don’t like sweet so she brought me another one to try, and that wasn’t good either. The third one was extremely sweet again — tasted like pure honey. Needless to say that was my last beer and I left without tasting one I really liked. In retrospect, maybe I should have talked to the bartenders directly… maybe next time.
The other thing I have to complaint about is the music… They had the games on and music blasting from floor speakers but all you can hear was the bass instead of the words, making it really hard to have a conversation, or really enjoy either of the other two.
Stars should really be 2.5. 1) the place is comfortable and fun, 2) if you know your beers I’m sure you’ll be fine and 3) because even though our server was not able to get me the «right» beer, she still gets points for trying, and being very friendly and attentive. I have no complaints about service.
They have a good list of bottled beers. They have an «open» seating setting with high wood tables, and TVs all around to watch the games. Also outside seating, with some fire pits — that’s a nice/​cozy addition. Still, if it’s not to watch a game, or waiting for a Movie next door, I would not chose Tap over the other beer places we have in the area.
