twenty tap

pickles. very good, freshly made food. the pickles are amazing! great burgers, cheesecurdsand brats! awesome local beer selection!!!

actually the place is called twenty tap. but thirty-eight is the number of craft beers they offer on draught. twenty tap does sound better than the alternative. they are in sobro; on n. college;across the street from the former atlas market location. they’ve been open for a couple of years but this is our first lunch. we have been in a few times for beer. and tried some fried cheesecurds( good) and another friend and i stopped in one evening and had some brews and the charcuterie platter ( not so good). the menu is definitely not your typical pub & grub. since our new ” format ” worked out so well ( for me ) we are doing it again. however pat wants to write it during lunch. and since i forgot my notebook he wrote it on a napkin. deluxe grilled cheese- mushroom, tomato, spinach, beer mustard (sub pesto for beer mustard)  $8 (veg oh for the record it was determined; after writing; the mushrooms were not canned. they were steamed. i needed some meat. and what carnivore could pass up smo

cheesecurdswere great. pimento mac & cheese along with tex burger was good too. not best i've had but good. service was spot on! pics included. enjoy! 20151128

we have visited twenty tap twice. my husband loved the fries as well as the mac and cheese plus his tex burger. i on the other hand, had the tuscan and felt the goat cheese wasn't the best combination. we avidly go to bru burger downtown, so we wanted to try another restaurant closer to home. i'm glad we came back a second time. service was great on both occasions, even with a busy friday we were seated quickly. our server was great. i am in love with the cheesecurdsand the curry ketchup needs to be on a burger. please put the curry ketchup on its own throne! the tex burger is my go to burger from now on! everything was delicious.

overall i think twenty tap is overrated. four of us waited over an hour for a table last night and when we actually sat down for dinner it was anything spectacular. the cheesecurdsand beer selection were good but i doubt we'll be back.

wow. cheesecurdswere great and burger was awesome.

simply great.. i probably go to twenty tap at least once a week (and not just because i live a few houses away!). they have a huge selection of great beer that changes constantly and equally great food. i've had just about everything on the menu and never been disappointed. the cheesecurdsare a must and their fries are delicious. my favorite sandwich is probably the mushroom reuben--and i'm not even vegetarian!

the servers are great and can definitely help you choose a beer. on a rare occasion i've gotten a server that wasn't super friendly/attentive but this is definitely not the norm as the majority of the people who work there are very nice and know their stuff. it's true they get quite busy during popular times particularly on a friday or saturday night--but that's just what happens when a place is good! if you don't want to risk a long wait or being seated next to other people (yes--their tables are pretty tight) then i'd suggest going on an off-time.

great neighborhood pub. there are many places in the city to get beer and pub food, but few offer 20 micro-brews, or craft beers, all the time, with great homemade pub food.
i started with the fried cheese curds. now we all know that fried cheese is fried cheese, but it becomes something magical when you use fresh cheddar cheesecurdsthen coat them in a light, tempura like, batter. people from wisconsin will know what i'm talking about.
next i had the "burn". now i am kind of a "burger whore" you can just no beat a good burger. this is a grilled hand pressed patty topped with cheddar and in-house pulled pork tossed in chilies. yes, you read that right. a burger topped with pulled pork! his thing hits on all levels. it's juicy, meaty, spicy (not too spicy) little bit of heaven. served with fries or the 3 bean salad. yea, i said it , 3 bean salad!. don't knock it til you try it. the whole thing washed down with a glass of hoppy goodness.
i would recommend you go try it before everyone else figures out how good this place is and you can't get a seat.
the only negative thing can say about this place, is that parking is a pain. it's on college so you may need to park a block or so away, but i for one think the walk is worth it.
