The female bartenders will disrespect you if you are also female. They will take every man’s order at the bar before your own and when they do take your order they’ll have attitude about it. However my biggest issue here— DO NOT PAY WITH CARD. They have added additional tip/over-charged my card and many of my friends recently and the only way to get it resolved is disputing it with your credit card company. Why is that? Because they will HANG UP on you if you call and mention disputing a charge. Saturday was my LAST time going there because I was— Ignored at the bar, given an open tab when I closed out, and when I asked about the food we ordered, no one seemed to know how it was handled/where it was. When I asked to close out my tab after she opened me one without asking (a minute after she scurried away after dropping my card in front of me), she told me it was going to be a 5 minute wait? It wasn’t busy. She was not overwhelmed. She just didn’t want to do her job— So maybe get a new one if drawing a receipt is that difficult. VCU graduation weekend the same bartender LOST my friend’s card and REFUSED to look for it. After asking multiple times she FINALLY went back to her cash register and was like “Ooops, here it is!” No apology, no compensation for her negligence. Tap is THE WORST bar in Richmond and I recommend going anywhere else if you can help it— If not, BRING CASH. ***I usually tip my bartenders because I’m also in the service industry and I know dealing with drunk idiots is hard. However, ignoring me at the bar and refusing to help recently was my last straw. The fact I took a pic of my receipt because I KNEW they were going to input an invalid value is hilarious***

Food is over priced for the quality. They have 2 burger options on the menu, a regular burger and the bison burger. I opted for the bison as it sounded a little better and it was only $1 more. My wife got a turkey sandwich and we ordered chicken tenders for our kid. The food took quite a long time to come out and when it did I was not impressed at all. My burger was clearly a frozen patty that had toppings on it. It was decent but no where near worth the $14 mark. I would place it at $8-9 at most. My wife said her sandwich was good but again it was not at the quality of the $13 price tag. At best it was a $10 sandwich. The beer selection is good and the place has a really nice atmosphere and great outdoor seating. I would recommend it for a drink and hang out place but if you are hungry there are plenty of other places within walking distance where the quality of food and prices match much better.

Our nonprofit organization hosted one of our annual events in their private event space & had a positive experience! Our guests enjoyed having access to the bar and arcade upstairs with plenty of space to move around. The servers bent over backwards to help ensure we had what we needed during the event & were all very professional. I worked with Addie as our main POC on the day of the event & appreciated how well she communicated - we always had what we needed & she was very attentive, no matter what was happening. I worked with Kaitlyn Drummond to secure the venue, plan catering & prepare details along the way -- she was delightful from the beginning. She made the process feel easy by being so responsive, thorough & patient as questions came up! I definitely recommend hosting an event at SRT.
