The Tap Bar & Grill

Great draft selection. Not from Jackson so I can’t compare to other bars. If you’re here for business very conveint to hotels and interstate. They serve a small selection of food which is okay for a bar.

Amazed they were even open due the weather. Great bartender decent Bbq wings and they even had live music which wasn’t half bad. Overall we had a fun time hanging at the Tap. Thanks Mel you rock!

Limited options near our hotel led up to The Tap, and though we had a good time there I would be concerned about how sh*tty this bar gets later at night.
The men’s room has a sign that says, «Please don’t hit our walls.» This can’t be a good omen. The atmosphere was great until karaōke started, at which point we took our cue and exited (no walls were harmed in the writing of this Unilocal review).
However, in the earlier hours of the Friday night we were there, RC was the bartender and was super friendly and entertaining. They have a really solid music selection, pool tables ($ 0.75 per game), and darts (not sure on the cost).
Also have a nice happy hour that goes until 10 (yay!). Were I local, I think I would add this to my rotation.

Cool no frills dive bar. 21 and up only. Good live music from local musicians on most nights. Food is really good for a dive bar. Most beers on tap in Jackson. If you like smokey dive bars, it’s a winner.

The tap is a huge upgrade from what was in this location before. They have a fair tap selection although none are local or craft brews.
Service is very inconsistent so it is hard to want to keep going back. The location is not very good relative to the target clientele and there is limited/​awkward parking.
The food is mediocre at best and inconsistent. They have a limited kitchen so frozen ingredients are a part of every menu item. The steaks have potential but they are always over marinated and harsh on the palate as a result.

Good Beer, Good Tunes, Pool and Darts… Need I say more
