The Tap Room

I should say that the hotel looks great. It has a beautiful interior.
I went there for a business meeting. The tap room was full on Friday noon, so we were given a table on a terrace close to the lobby, which was fine because we did not have a reservation. The first thing that surprised me was that the waitress who served us was not mannered enough for such a place, she did not even bother to smile. When our food was brought to the table, I realized that my food was burnt; the vegetables were completely black. Next time that the waitress checked with us, I told her so. She said: this is not burnt, it is deeply fried!!! There was my 2^nd surprise! I did not want to argue with her, so I left the food almost untouched.
When it came to paying the bill, as I was unsatisfied with the service, I left 10% gratuity although I should not have left any. Next day, checking my card’s balance, I realized they had taken 20%. So I called them and spoke to the manager. He said, by default, 20% gratuity was taken from any card that was used for payment there, and had one left any less, they would return it to one’s card later. There lied my third surprise! They did return the money though. I was there on Friday and the correction to the payment took place on the following Monday.

Fabulous! The prime rib tacos were amazing! The bar tenders really know how to make a cocktail! Our waiter, Christopher was 5 star! This restaurant is much better than the pricier Terrace Room located next door if you are staying in the William Penn.

After a class upstairs my co-​worker and decided to eat here instead of the larger restaurant in the hotel. Though I’m sure the food comes from the same kitchen.
We both had burgers variations. Both were very satisfying. Neither of us left any food on the plate. It was very good, simple food with lots of great flavor.
Unlike the large restaurant this location is very warm and inviting. To be honest you are paying for the ambiance and location. There is a large selection of beers to make anyone happy.
If your in the area and want a nice lunch this is a good spot. It you want cheap food, keep walking. Neither the Quality or the Cost is cheap. You do get what you pay for.

In the Omni hotel. The staff was very friendly and the local beer hit the spot! Asked for their food recommendation and went for fish and chips. A large serving and very tasty.

Had lunch yesterday at this place. Burger was cooked to the right temperature and the fries were very crisp. Good place to meet friends and perfect on a fall afternoon.

A grilled cheese extravaganza. A great college eating spot with an amazing beer selection. A definite find

Everything about the tap room is top notch the staff is great the food is good and everything here is amazing. I hardly give out 5 stars but they deserve it

Small and crowded. Slow service. Interesting menu, tho. And the food was tasty, ample portions, and well prepared.

I love this bar. It might be my favorite in the city. The bartender Bob is fantastic and so are his pours. They have an extensive list of top shelf liquor and a fabulous kitchen team that leverages a great seasonal local foods to a heightened level. They have a few excellent desserts which can be paired with cordials to top off a perfect evening. Well worth the stop.

In my humble opinion, the BEST burger in Pittsburgh is the Hogs Pond (medium rare, with fries and ranch on the side). I love this place, one of my favorite places for lunch downtown. I think their burgers don’t get enough praise. The servers are great too.

We had Michelle as a waitress and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was kinda and funny and answered all of our questions. She was also knew so much about the city and had such personality. I wish I knew more people like her. The food was delicious and like Michelle said, «the pierogis are da bomb!»

Two friends and I recently spent a half hour at the Taproom while waiting for a colleague to get off work. The room was sparsely populated so we sat at the bar.
The barkeep was prompt yet was also quick to disappear as we settled in. My girlfriend and i both ordered a 6 oz of the house red cabernet and my last friend had a beer. While we did have any complaints in general we were both surprised of the price adjustment when the bill came.
In Pittsburgh, $ 15 for a mediocre house red is quite steep. A price which I didn’t complain to pay if prepared, however, something i will keep in mind next time I’m looking for a quite spot to sip and talk.

The Angus Reserve Burger at $ 12 was a frozen patty cooked to whatever the chef feels like cooking. If you looking for food or drinks there are other places in Pittsburgh. Come on Tap room, how many local breweries are located around Pittsburgh. Update your selection

Awesome burgers. Fine selection of beer and spirits. Service was excellent. Seafood pasta was a bit pricey but very fresh and delicious.

Overpriced and nothing special. $ 16.50 for a glass (the small 6oz glass) of the house Chardonnay??? I know it’s the tap room and beer is the feature, but come on. Have been here for a group event with 20 – 30 people and the waitresses got overwhelmed and couldn’t split off drink orders even when we told them what we had ordered. Not very friendly either. Will avoid going back if I can.

Attending a conference sponsored by the Highmark Foundation at the Omni. Came early to check out the Taproom since I love craft beer. The bartender was rude from the moment I walked in, looking at me as if I didn’t belong. When I asked for a beer, it seemed to put her out that she had to do something. When I server asked her for a water, she sighed loudly and rolled her eyes. I’ve stayed at Omni’s in the past and have always had excellent service. If this bartender is so miserable at work with the public, perhaps she should consider a new line of work if she dislikes interacting with the public so much.

Ordered the chicken sandwich with fries. It took almost half an hour to arrive. The fries were chewy, like they hd been microwaved, except that they weren’t hot.
The chicken sandwich was flavorless and the bread was hard.
If all of this wasn’t enough it was $ 13. Wendys would have been 10x better for half of the price.

I like this place. The drinks are good, and I thoroughly enjoyed the fish sandwich and fries I had the other day. My friend’s caesar salad with white anchovies looked delicious as well. They have a decent selection of beers on tap, and a very good moscow mule.
The atmosphere is cozy and quaint, and reminds me of an English pub. There are plenty of small plate-​type options, as well as sandwiches and salads.

The Tap Room is a bar located in The William Omni hotel. While my stay at the hotel was only fair, I had a lovely time at the bar and would be more likely to return to the bar than the hotel itself.
We first decided to visit when we saw the display in the window boasting of their beer list. I’m married to someone who loves craft beer, so there really was no way of getting out of visiting. I tried one of their cocktails on the menu, but I can’t remember what it was — however, I do remember it was a concoction that sounded strange but was executed perfectly. There were some kind of herbs in it, which I’d never tried before Pittsburgh but surprisingly all of my cocktails had herbs in it while there.
There was a Penguins game on that night, so we were lucky enough to get there early enough to have some seats. In the course of our 2 drinks, a bunch of people showed up in Penguins jerseys to watch the game and the bar was packed almost immediately. If you run into this situation, you can take your drinks to the lobby to relax, but there’s no TV’s out there to watch the game.

The Tap Room was better than expected for a hotel pub. Of course, it’s pricey. They’re located in the Omni William Penn after all. The menu has typical pub fare: burgers, fish and chips, chili and some salads, etc. I had a cod sandwich, which came with a side. I chose the farro salad, which is something along the lines of a tabouli or other grain salad. It was nice to have something different. I enjoyed my spicy Beer, Pepper Vodka and Tabasco cocktail. I think it was called a Spicy Dog, but I can’t find the drink on their online menu. I liked the idea of their «Street Food» side-​menu. It had six different international options, inspired by the places Omni chefs had lived or visited. The atmosphere was on the formal side, with lots of business travelers having an after-​meeting meeting/​cocktail.
