Walk into Tapphoria and there’s a good chance you'll feel like you’ve entered a sitcom. No, seriously.
The ambiance? Picture this: If "Cheers" had a love child with "Architectural Digest", it'd be Tapphoria. This place boasts an exquisite blend of comforting nostalgia and drop-dead-gorgeous décor.
With 28 taps of frothy goodness (and a sprinkling of seltzer for when you're pretending to be 'healthy'), you're always a sip away from declaring, "This is my new favorite!" And by your third drink, you'll probably be convinced that the bartender secretly moonlights as a beer wizard.

it was overall unwelcoming, and we WERE going to get stuff on that menu.
We left almost immediately. One of the worst “restaurant” - or even bar - experiences...
Read moreNice place. Especially if your a beer nerd. They do manage to pull off beer nerd without transcending into beer snob. I find that tiresome but didn't see any of that here, at least during my two visits. The decor is drab and does little to detract from the fact that your in a strip mall, other than the multi-screen real time keg monitor. This is the first time I've seen one of these and really puts the question of nerdiness to rest. Still the place is full regulars who clearly love the scene and the ownership. What better recommendation is there, after all sometimes you want to go where everyone...
