One of my fave spots to relax with friends or stop by after dinner. They do have great rotating food trucks available. Love all the choices of beer and wine on tap and the willingness to help if I don't know what to choose. Fantastic service!

Absolutely love OpenTap. Great concept love the revolving food trucks that are available. The only thing I might suggest is if they could get more parking available as it is a very busy place.

This is such a great place to meet with friends and family alike! The environment was friendly and warm. We loved that the staff treated our 7 year old nephew like any other customer, letting him know about the glasses and where to get juice and water. The pineapple seltzer was delicious, and we loved the espresso martini on tap! The boys loved the little putting green outside, though I wish that area was enclosed like the front outdoor area.

Finally checked out OpenTap while meeting some friends on a Sunday afternoon. They had the football games on (audio throughout the venue) and nice places to hang out and enjoy the game or conversation. We ended up upstairs - which was extra credit every time you needed a drink refill, but worth it. The staff was super nice and explained how their system worked. Since it was Sunday-funday, I ended up starting with self-pour mimosas (they have juice out of taps as well) and then switching to beers after.
