  “A disappointing experience - the taps don’t turn off as you finish pouring your drink, continuing to pour for an additional 4-5 seconds and still charging you! This wasn’t isolated to one tap as it happened on multiple, causing the drinks to overflow with froth, the glasses to get wet and then covering our table in beer when we sat down…..where no napkins or coasters were provided!”

  “Looks like a hidden gem with a cool concept, but isnt. After a pepperoni pizza that tasted like it had been dunked in a vat of honey, and being charged for a dip it later turned out they didn't have in stock.. that they then replaced with a dip we said we didn't want, we foolishly ordered a Margherita pizza as replacement, which was actually nice, but had been mistakenly taken to a different group's table and left to sit there for ten minutes before being brought over - no apology or offer to replace with a warm one. Staff, mardy manager included, seem more concerned with racing to have a smoke by the front door than running a business.”

  “Good section of beer however most weren’t available. Firstly waited at the door for 10 minutes until someone appeared to give us the cards. Once we sat down a roundly hunch which seemed to know both girls working shouting and swearing. Then both workers went out multiple times with the rowdy bunch to smoke weed outside with the door open so the whole bar stank. And in general really disappointed with the experience as it’s a nice idea for a pub.”

  “I’m a big fan of the self serve bars that are popping up so was excited to try The Tap House. We got there around 18:30 on a Saturday Night, so we knew it would be busy. It’s not very big inside. When you first arrive, they explain the concept to you. You receive a card, and tap for the beer you want - this isn’t the same for wine, you don’t need a card for the wine. It was difficult to understand as it’s one person dealing with people entering and exiting, as you provide the card at the end and pay for it. So with it being busy, one person dealing with everything and not a lot of room to move out of peoples way, we found ourselves really overstimulated. We found space outside - it’s three benches down an alleyway but that did us nicely. We didn’t have any beer, but our friends who did have the beer enjoyed it. Food was reasonably affordable, but again, you had to go to the front desk with the one person dealing everything to pay and then return to the kitchen desk to receive. It’s a great concept, just needs better execution I think.”

  “A fairly new establishment in Nottingham. We didn't book despite being the pre-cmas busy weekend period. We got a table. The drinks on the tap are all self-serve, and you pour as much as you like and only pay for what you poured. So the prices are given in units (pint or 150ml serving) but if you poured only 4/12 of a pint you pay 4/12 of the per pint price. You get a choice of cocktails, beers and ciders. There is a limited choice of pizzas served they are all deep pan, though, but still nice. The noise level is acceptable and you can actually have a conversation with your companions without having to shout. Overall verdict. A good place to go in the late afternoon to taste drinks, engage in world changing conversations over a beverage if that's what floats your boat.”

  “Food is great. Pizza is a good size to share and although slightly oily it was really good. Love the self serve idea for pints. I think it’s unique and one of my favourite bars.”

  “We popped in for a couple of beers. Quite small but we were there early afternoon so it was quiet and we were able to find a seat. Nice concept, pour your own beer so you can have a try or a 1/2 or full pint. You have a card you use and pay the balance as you leave.”

  “The Tap House in Nottingham has a great concept where you pour your own beer and pay for what you drink. We visited around 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon. The outdoor seating is very limited with just three tables down a small alley. Unfortunately, one of the tables was missing a bench seat which was a shame as we would have liked to sit outside. Inside, you register your name and card details with the host at the entrance and then you are free to sit wherever you like. Most of the seating is high tables, which is good for groups, but realistically it can only fit maybe two bigger groups before it gets too crowded. They serve food like pizza slices and fries, which is a nice option. However, seeing how greasy the pizza was, literally shining with oil, put us off ordering anything. There is also a semi-outdoor area that doubles up as a smoking space but it is really just a small section down the alley rather than a proper garden. The toilets were a big letdown. They are unisex, which is fine, but the floor was completely wet and there was a strong unpleasant smell. It made us question the overall cleanliness of the venue. There was a good variety of beers, but a few taps were out of order and needed cleaning. In the end, we only found one beer that we really liked. We were expecting a bit more of a lively atmosphere considering how unique the concept is, but it felt quite flat during our visit. Overall, The Tap House has a brilliant idea behind it but could really benefit from some maintenance and a bit more energy to make the experience as good as it should be.”

  “Love the idea of it & have seen the same thing in Riga (Latvia)...but on this occasion, despite there being loads of taps, there wasn't really anything we wanted. Oktoberfest was on so the taps were skewed accordingly. The staff were very helpful and the system was very slick...if they had 3 or 4 beers that we liked we would have stayed much longer, as it was we all had about a 1/3rd each & left.”
