Customer Reviews

★★★★★ 5.0 Katherine Newton · Feb 2026

The Mad Tap is a whole vibe, set in a beautiful historic building that gives it so much character. It has an easy, welcoming feel where people are genuinely friendly and you don’t feel rushed. The cocktail and beer selection is excellent, and the food is great. Pub fare and classic comfort food favorites are served along with some nice elevated dishes as specials. Great live music adds to the atmosphere and makes it a perfect place to relax, catch up with friends, and enjoy a good night out.

This was our first trip to The Mad Tap after hearing many good things about it. Excellent, attentive staff, great food, and great live music! We’ll be returning to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 D M · Sep 2025

Food came out and the wings were completely cold. Nachos had been microwaved and the pork on them was over smoked, chips were soggy from the microwave. The meatballs were luke warm. Three sliders, one brisket that was over smoked and full of fat pieces and luke warm, 1 pork that was over smoked and luke warm, 1 chicken that was over smoked and luke warm. All of our food had one bite taken from each item. Waitress disappeared, never asked how things were, never offered a refill or another drink, never even saw her again. Absolutely a waste of money to not even eat any of our plates. Spend your money elsewhere.

This place is awesome. Great beer selection on 20 taps. Excellent food and great atmosphere to gather with friends. Lucky to have in our town. The brisket and black bean sandwich are outstanding. The shrimp cocktail rivals other area cocktail sauces. Highly recommend.
