Tap and Still Havensight — Restaurant in Saint Thomas

Every once in a while I think it's perfectly ok to annihilate your diet and treat yourself to an all American meal of burgers, wings and fries. St. Thomas, yes is an US territory but good 'ole burger joints out here are so hard to find. Located right next to where the cruise ships pull up in Havensight, you're not going to get any kind of fabulous waterfront view, but you will get speedy pub service and a plethora of sports channels on flat screens that are easily found stateside.

Ordertaking is an antiquated version of a tableside POS self ordering system. You'll circle and check with a pencil of what you want to order off of a paper order slip. Its still a lot more efficient that verbally saying an order to wait staff and leaves less room for communication snafus.

Happy hour is cheap and runs for a decent period of time between 3p and 6p. They have $2 Amstel Lights, Heineken and Coors, $3 Guinness, Blue Moon, Sam Adams, Corona, Angry Orchard and mixed cocktails.

The best burger on their menu is the double bacon cheeseburger ($10) with all cold and hot toppings. A side order of "never been frozen fries" ($3) is a must and their spicy Korean chicken wings ($9) which apparently has been voted the best wings on the island for forever is delish!

Everything oozes delicious juciness and its a finger licking mess, but you'll get a roll of papertowels to help with that.

Minus one star for no wet wipes, everything is served out of paper bags, and only one unisex single stall bathroom. For a place that serves up dirt cheap drinks and that is so busy, waiting for the bathroom to vacate will cut down on the happy part...

Let's start with the atmosphere. Great location, nice restaurant that is open to receive the cool breeze, pigeons & chickens. There was chickens poop on the floor, we let our server know. When we left it was still on the floor 🥴. How this place works is there are menus for you to check off what you want to eat, the server collects it and your meal is prepared. If you are expecting your meal on a plate or tray this is not the place for you. It comes in a brown to go bag. By the time our food came, our drinks were done. Our server never came back to check on us if we needed anything else 😒. So, I had to find another server to ask for more drinks. We ordered the double and single cheese burger (it was good), however the lettuce used was shredded, it reminded me of McDonald's 🤷🏾‍♀️. The fries were soggy looking as if they were sitting in oil for too long.. I ended up throwing mines away. We also ordered the wings, they were hard and extra dry looking. The kid size fruit punch was great, they found the smallest glass they could find apparently. One last thing if you need to wash your hands before & after, don't expect access to their restroom. It is blocked by stools and maybe it's only for their employees 🤷🏾‍♀️ there is a sign that points outside to use a public one stall restroom which is about 2 stores from the restaurant. Gratuity is automatically added to your check, if not I probably would have gave one dollar for...

I have been to this tap and still many times, and I appreciate the occasional burger and milkshake from there. Plus the music and customers here on a Friday/Saturday night are a total vibe. However, I had the most abhorrent service from one of the bartenders here out of all the times I’ve been to any of the Tap and Still locations tonight. It took me ten minutes to get a bartender’s attention to order my drink. When one of them finally came to me, I asked her whether they had hard seltzers and she cut me off mid-question with an incredibly dismissive tone. When I ordered a draught Heineken in a state of confusion (as a response to this bartender’s previous behavior), she did not accept my form of payment because, in her words, “it was too small an amount to put on a debit card,” even though there was no prior specification of a minimum amount I would need to spend to get a drink. Furthermore, I spent that same amount on a prior drink at this tap and still with no problems or qualms. I understand that bartenders can get overwhelmed on the job. However, as a former bartender myself, I found this behavior extremely rude and...
