Just tried Bottletaps for the first time last week...and came back again for dinner this afternoon. Fantastic beer selection and great food in a relaxed atmosphere. The beer list has plenty of detail and really diverse options...the food menu has everything from charcuterie boards, to a killer soft pretzel, to salads/sandwiches, to pasta and sliders. Ive had both the Reuben and the cheesesteak and they were excellent...I also discovered the have a ghost pepper cheese option for the sandwiches! Excellent, but only if you ok with REALLY hot ghost pepper. Excellent place for a good meal with a beer...or a beer with a good meal.

Super fun place with an amazing selection of beer, wine and other drinks. They always have some kombucha on tap as well. All of the food is delicious and super high quality. I got the pretzel banquet board and it was stellar - that pub cheese was so good - Im coming back just for that!

Very good food even two years later among the Covid crisis. Good social distance protocols and safety cleaning during the dinner.

My lady has been wanting to check this place out for months now and we finally got around to visiting. Its a very classy place with amazing food and it was a very pleasant experience.It was neat that the beer menu is digital and has very specific details about the beers broken down like IBU and ABV and such things.I definitely recommend the balsamic cocktails as well. The one that I tried was very refreshing and someone else ordered the pineapple one and loved it as well.The pretzel was huge and quite tasty with the 3 different dipping sauces. (Or rather two sauces and some bacon chunks)The mac and cheese was awesome.The meatball tasted ok and looked amazing in terms of presentation.The hummus was fantastic and we were told that its the daughter of the owners recipe which is neat.We had a 5 year old with us and the server brought us a complimentary kids plate with grapes, string cheese and pretzel sticks.The banana cake was amazing and the pretzel bites were good with all three dipping sauces but the mexican chocolate sauce was my favorite.

Thank you BottleTaps for a wonderful experience! I visited with a group in town for a business retreat and our evening at your venue was the perfect way to relax and kickstart our weekend. Great food, drinks, service and atmosphere!

We ordered two flights of beers. Their tap beer was okay but they have good selection of bottles beers and drinks. Limited options for vegetarian food but food was delicious especially curry naan, pasta and pretzel. Ambience is good and staff is also friendly. Definitely we would like to go there again.

Nice place. Friendly staff. Great selection of beers. Food was good but generally a little too salty.

Tapas and delicious craft (locally made) brews is Bottletaps forte. A friendly wait staff are sure to ensure you have a great experience. I enjoy the open space inside as well as an outdoor patio to drink on. There is a refrigerator accessible to customers that is full of alcoholic and refreshing drinks that can be taken home at a discounted rate.

Great beer selection. My date got wine and it was a very generous pour. The hummus is really good. Tasty. Fresh. Moist. Also got the flat bread that had tried tip on it. Seemed dry and not that good. Overall comfortable environment with good service.

Great selection of craft beers. Can sample the beers and also are able to purchase a 4oz beer if you prefer to try more options. If you order the last beer in a keg they will give you that beer and also a free beer from the new keg.The food menu has no bad options. Everything looked good. As a group we has the tri tip sandwich, turkey avocado sandwich, and the shrimp salad wrap. Everyone was definitely pleased. The service was adequate, no complaints.

First time going to this place and we enjoyed ourselves. Brought the family and was really surprised at how vacant it was for a Saturday afternoon, but A GREAT place to bring the kids. The staff was really nice, beer selection was huge but most not my preference and all the food we ordered was really good. We will definitely come back again.

Great, large, rotating beer stock. Small but tasty and frequently updated menu. Helpful knowledgeable staff. Good seating indoors and out. Great for meeting friends and co-workers for a pint (or 3) and a chat.

Great selection of beers. Theres something for everyone. The food is great, too, with the house-cured pastrami leading the way. Good flatbreads, and the pretzel with in-house mustard and beer cheese is heavenly. Weve not experienced the live music yet, but friends say its great.

Owner, Eric,is very beer knowledgeable. An excellent homebrewer. Ask him about the Mad Zymurgists if you want to get into it yourself. Food menu rotates and is always excellent. Try their pretzel. Staff is attentive and helpful. Please stop on by to keep local taprooms like this around.

Review №42

Me and my boyfriend stopped by this place just to check out the food and mostly drinks. My boyfriend had looked this place up online and it said that it had good reviews... So we were the only black people in the entire spot. Not too crowded, totally visible to all staff... we sat there for 15 mins without no one even asking us if we even wanted water. Look Im not the type to make it a race issue... but it sure felt like it. I hope thats not the case. Seems like a chill place. I just unfortunately will not be going back.

Had an average experience here the other night. Ill preface this by saying Im 35 years old. Before I had even sat down on the barstool, and finished greeting my friend, the bartender (probably not much older than 21, heavily tattooed) belted out a request for my ID. Its all well and fine if people sitting at a bar need to be IDd, but at least throw in a greeting, a welcome, a hello. Especially since you dont know who the person is, and it may be their first time at the bar.The draft and bottle selection was solid. The space is open and comfortable, although it is probably not the best use of the footage.My review relates to the service I was given.I also couldnt help but notice that the others sitting on opposite ends of the bar were friends and friends with the bartender, and my buddy and I found ourselves in the middle of their triangular conversation. They were also getting discounts on their drinks and some freebies, which makes me think they worked there and were hanging out there on an off-day.Again, the service simply couldve been kinder and more welcoming. I drove out there from Fremont.

Service, beer selection, and space we’re all good. Food was average with some surprising omissions from a gastropub also takes a lot longer than it should. Dont go here for a game as they won’t let the sound for the game play on the speakers only music.

Great local pub. Constant rotation of interesting brews that are specifically curated by the knowledgeable home brewer/owner, Eric. If you are a craft beer enthusiast, this is a must visit. Also available is a wall full of almost every style of beer imaginable. Some nights (Thursday) feature live music as well.

After reading reviews the wife and I decided to try BottleTaps on 15 Feb 2020. The first clues that maybe we shouldnt have stayed were the un bussed tables, food on 3 separate menus and kids running around the restaurant (literally). However, we did stay and requested fresh menus, ordered a Prime Rib Dip, A Pastrami Reuben, mac & cheese. Bith sandwiches came with soup or salad. The wife got the salad and I opted for the Beer Cheese Soup. The soup came luke warm, sent it back. The salad came with an over abundance of dressing (dripping). Sent it back. Soup was heated, and way over salted. I am a person that actually defers to a bit more salt on item . However, this was much beyind my tolerance. I chose not to eat. The wifes salad was returned and was better. My sandwich was good. My wifes sandwich didnt represent any Reuben ever. Salty, half of the sandwich had sour kraut, the other half didnt. The same with the cheese. We got the impression that it was thrown together without regard for proper distribution. The Mac and Cheese was good but nothing spectacular but acceptable for a beer pub.In summary, I wouldnt depend on previous reviews. Try, if you must but, improvements are needed in the kitchen if this place hopes to survuve over time.

This fantastic gastropub offers a WIDE variety of craft beer, wine, cider, mead, kombucha, soda, and more. Their knowledgeable and attentive staff is always ready to share their thoughts, to help steer you toward the right selection.BottleTaps has a clean, friendly atmosphere — classy, yet comfortable, with a few screens inside, a banquet room for events, as well as a pleasant outdoor patio. I find it to be equally great for taking the family out, or going for a night on the town with friends. It is also a good setting for a casual business lunch.Their creative smaller (and larger) plates are always delicious — often prepared with craft beverage as an ingredient. Their chef does a nice job designing the menu, and each dish is always attractively presented. The fun part is choosing the right beer, wine, or cider to pair with your food — and if you need a recommendation, just ask.This is a great spot to discover, and once you do, you’ll surely want to go back to explore more!

When I think of a beer house, Id say this place if only it didnt have so much space like a wherehouse. When I think craft, I think speakeasy, bunker, dim. This place has got a classy vibe with helpful staff and a deliciously, compact menu. A little profesional/corporate with the uniform. Prices are reasonable for location and kitchen is open until 9pm. Would recommend anyone to swing through and get a good beer and the side salads are yummy!

Great selection of draft and bottled beer. Also have wine, soda, and health drinks (kombucha). Food is good, place is clean.Honestly all around a good tap house. Downfall is there is nothing else around it to do. Great if youre ok with staying put at one location. If you like to hop around to other places, then your best choice is CVS next door ;-)
