Coworkers and I went to lunch here. Definitely a place we'll be back to. On-tap beer selection (lots of different ones, styles, breweries, meads and ciders too) was excellent -- some great standards and some we hadn't tried before. Burger was great -- seasoned and seared nicely, 'medium' was actually medium and not rare nor well-done. Fries were great -- not quite as good as beer-battered fries I've had elsewhere, but definitely delicious. With all the beers on-tap here, I think they have an opportunity to batter fries in different styles of beer and get different tastes and flavors on them -- I'd love to see what they could come up with. Atmosphere was great -- music wasn't too loud, variety of TVs nearby with different things on. Chairs and tables felt solid, unlike some other sports bars I've been to. When you're drinking a 10%abv stout, you want a chair that doesn't feel like it's about to fall apart under you. :) Also some nice big arm chairs in front of the fireplace, I could see sitting there chatting quite a while with a couple appetizers and a bunch of draft beers. Service was excellent -- friendly, helpful, attentive, willing to converse a little too. Food came out of the kitchen in a very reasonable amount of time. None of my coworkers had any complaints about the food either. On top of all of that, it's close enough to where we work that we can go there whenever, but far enough off that we're not going to get interrupted. We'll definitely be back. Hopefully frequently! This is the sort of place I hope does well and stays around a good long time.

First time there. Went for a light lunch and was happy with service. Sat outside on the patio and being right next to a busy road it was not noisy in the least. Service was great and the food was very tasty. A nice selection of beer.

Great beer list. British beers and a few odd taps I haven't seen anywhere in the valley. I hate to compare it to the last business to occupy the building. However after renovations this place is a entirely different Resturant.

They did a great job modernizing what used to be Starters. The staff is very friendly. The beer list is long and varied, I had 3 different ones. The were very patient letting me decide. Lots of good stuff on the menu. Try the American Nachos which was sloppy joe and cheese piled on tater tots. I'm sure this place will do great!

Went last night (2/27) with a buddy of mine. The one thing that stuck out to me most, was the random, half partition that separated the bar from the dining area.....Kinda tacky, but I get the idea. The beer/wine/spirits choices are abundant and pretty varying. I tried the Barleywine and....not my style :p Overall it's a pretty nice joint, not a place you could really turn into a regular hang out, but just as good! Side note: Didn't get there in time to try the food, but they had a good amount of options.

TAPS is for beer/ale lovers. 60+varieties on tap plus bottled & canned. Tried the sloppy joe & don't recommend it. Too dried out - not much sauce, found a piece of burned mystery meat? in it. Grilled bun was like cardboard. best wings ever! Service was good. Going to give it another try. Much nicer ambiance than former Starters Pub.
(3)Kevin R.
Stopped by for a quick dinner and we had to wait about 20 mins even when there were empty tables visable from the waiting area! Once we were sat... it just felt like a cafeteria! Too open of a place. Wasn't cozy at all. Felt like we were squeezed in amongst other tables. Waitress was prompt -- however, the coconut shrimp appetizer took like 15 mins. It was delicious with an awesome presentation! My guest ordered a whiskey bbq burger and I opted for a buffalo chicken salad. Salad arrived with no dressing, 3 cherry tomatoes and 2 rings of onion, with a plentiful heap of buffalo tenders sliced. I feel like thier should have been more veggies on the salad .. and also celery in the salad? One would think?? My guests burger was great --- however, it didnt have whiskeybbq sauce on it! we had to ask for salad dressing and bbq sauce! We shouldnt have to ask for things that were suppose to come with our meal. Anyways -- the experience was sub par. We may or may not be back. Check it out if you want, however be prepared for average food and overall experience. Think applebees.

Food isn't the greatest. Pricey for what you get. Have eaten here 3 times and haven't been impressed at all.
(3)Cody S.
Taps is certainly reminiscent of the place it took over (Starters pub), but the differences it does present are both appreciated and uninvited. They claim over 60 tap beers but I didn't see that many when I visited. They had a nice variety however between IPAs and lagers and with that I was satisfied. When it came to the cuisine it was of an average pub quality. Notably, the stir fry was quite delectable. The staff and service there of was good considering they've just opened and it was very busy. I was pleased with the overall accommodating nature of their demeanor. The atmosphere was both inviting and relaxing. It was overall a pleasant experience and I would advise others to come and see it for them selves.
(4)Ken J.
Very nice local bar, the beer selection is awesome, the food is good and plenty of choices. Our experiences range from awesome to piss poor. There is no rhyme or reason for the inconsistency after being open for 1/2 year by now. But it's all tolerable if it stays minor issues, so far.
(3)Barbara G.
Disappointing. It started with not getting a drink order taken for about 10 minutes. Then I had questions about the tap beers and the server was clueless....if your name is ''Taps'', you should be informed about what is on tap! We ordered the $9 cheesesteak eggroll and it was 1 eggroll cut into 3 pieces....tasty but WAY OVERPRICED, for a pubgrub place. Server took my husbands plate before he was finished. We had to ask for silverware. Burger was overcooked even though I asked for medium. Something is lacking in the atmosphere...the place is nice but too open and cavernous...very loud. All in all, disappointing.
(2)Greg P.
This place had (still has) a chance to turn this into a good place, but right now it's amateur hour. We've been 3 times, with same issues. The service is brutal. Bartenders and waitresses are college kids that don't care, don't hustle, and TWO bartenders blew their nose in front of us at the bar.....and yes... neither washed hands after. Drink glasses sit empty, food orders aren't taken, but there always seems to be 4 or 5 of them gathered at the waitress bar-stand talking amongst themselves. Atmosphere is good, plenty of beer selections and TVs, just get some experienced servers or this is just going to become a college bar, because everyone who is willing to spend money will head up to Copperhead. Food not great, but again completely salvageable with some care....chicken wings had a lot of black broken bones which its a bad sign....just buy some quality stuff. And if you're going to serve tater tots as a side dish for an adult, do something funky with them....cheese, herbs, truffle oil, gravy.....something so i don't feel like I'm in elementary school C.mon, we really want this place to be good...need some alternatives.

We had a lovely evening at the bar. Drinks and apps. The Southern Nachos come with pulled pork and was a great shared app. The bar was packed and there was an 1 1/2 wait for the restaurant at 6:30 on a Saturday evening. The bar tender , Shay, was very helpful with helping us pick a beer and even let us sample a couple, in order to choose. I would definitely recommend making reservations if you want a table.
(4)Brian C.
I wanted to like this place more than I did. Knowing it was started by the people who run Braveheart in Hellertown, I was expecting another more unique/niche experience or menu items. The place is nice, the food is ok...but it's nothing out of the ordinary. We got southern nachos for app - they were very good. Then Whiskey Burger, Chicken Parm sandwich and some chili. All were ok, but not better than average, dishes you could get at almost any burger joint chain. The menu is ok but not very extensive. A good number of beers on tap. If this was 1985 it would be impressive and unique. But with all the micro brews, seasonal ales, hard cider, etc choices available this is no longer special. I can get same/similar beers almost anywhere. It's not a unique experience. Service was good, especially for a new place. Atmosphere was very similar to the old Starters that was there, maybe just a little more hardwood. But there aren't enough TVs and 'stuff' to make it a sports bar, it's not special decor, the menu isn't unique, it's not a cleavage fest - It's a good place for a nice meal, but not great and there's really nothing that makes it very special. It's a nice place, I'd go back again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get there.

I was very excited to try Taps, I have missed a local, casual hang out like Starters close to my house. I frequent braveheart since I am a hellertown native and was hoping this would be exactly the combination i was seeking. I'll start with the negatives: we made a reservation for 6:15pm, we showed up 5 minutes late but that didn't matter because we waited 20 minutes for our table. The waiting area is nice but next to the front door so my friend and I were slapped in the face with bitter cold air everytime the door was opened and everyone just left because there was over an hour wait. The waitress didn't really know what to recommend on the menu, but thats understandable since it is new. One of the apps we got was fried mac and cheese bites, which were delcious, most likely frozen then fried, but we paid 8 dollars for 7 bites, that was more than a dollar per bite :/ Positives: the buffalo chicken dip was hot and spicy enough to make your mouth burn a little, i could have ate an entire bowl of it. My friend and I each had a peach moon to drink and it was a nice drink. I had the taps burger and I find most places burn my burger instead of leaving it well done. it was perfectly cooked and I wanted to finish it but couldn't because I was so full, the fries were also cripy and delicious. We all agreed we will return, once the excitement dies down of the new opening!

Tried this when it first opened and the service was super slow! I figured it's just because it's new and they were still getting their act together but I went back last week and it was equally slow. The first time I ordered the vegetable stir fry. I have some food allergies and intolerances so I asked if it was cooked in a wine sauce or a soy/teriyaki sauce and I was told it was the latter. When you think stir fry you think Asian, right? The fact that it's served with cilantro rice should have tipped me off, as cilantro is not typically used in Asian dishes (with the exception of maybe Thai). It came out and it smelled unlike what I was expecting. It looked tasty though. When I tasted it, however, it tasted off. It seems to be cooked in a wine sauce, with what my friend identified as chipotle seasoning, which I am allergic to. This was not identified on the menu. I did not finish my meal. The second time we went I did not order food but my boyfriend did. He ordered the nachos and was unimpressed. They were soggy and tasteless. Very disappointing. Our friends like it, so we will only return with them most likely, and even then probably just for drinks. On a night when we aren't in a rush, because we will probably be there forever waiting for our drinks.

We use to go to this location with friends when it was Starters. So, on St. Pats day we decided to try it again with some friends. Food and service was good. We really liked the wide variety of craft beer. Spent about $20 in food,,mostly had drinks. Bill came to $58. So after we used our card we wrote on the receipt to leave a final amount of $65. Might of been slightly low do to the fact that we were drunk. Here's the kicker,,,,,,the bartender #11 Stacy, decided on her own without discussing her grievance with us to charge us an extra $5. We never found this out until we got our credit bill. Just giving the readers a reminder to ask for a receipt, I didn't. I didn't think I had too. Very disappointed in the integrity of that staff member
(3)Daniel P.
We walked out. Hostess led us through a dirty floor with spilled food. You would think that eventually someone would tidy up. Never happened. Noisy and chaotic. We really wanted to give this a try and patronize a new establishment. Went farther down the road to a much nicer, cleaner, and comfortable Copperhead. We're glad we did.

This review is on behalf of my mother: she and her friend got cheesesteaks and they both said it had a strange, unpleasant taste, as if it had been sitting on the grill all day. Also, any cheesesteak lover knows the roll is key, and this was served on a subpar white roll. My mom asked for a pickle and then was shocked to find a 50 cent charge on the receipt (the burgers came with free pickles). Go figure. She won't be back and I won't bother.
(1)Rick D.
BEST BURGER I'VE EVER HAD. I got the Border Burger. AMAZING! The variety of beers on tap is amazing. I will definitely come here again. Me and my girlfriend came here on a Saturday night and it took about 20 minutes from the time we sat down from the time we got our food. Everything was excellent.
(5)Carol M.
We were happy to try a new place in the Valley. Taps has an abundant selection of beers on tap to include local brews. They also have an assortment of bottles and wines. We went early so we didn't have to wait. By the time we left around 5pm, there was a line. There are TVs all over. A fireplace with a TV over it. Classic rock on the sound system. We had cheesesteak springrolls. They tasted alright but 3 came on a plate and at $9 for the plate, it was overpriced. My husband had pork and sauerkraut that was served in a bowl with mashed potatoes. He thought it was so-so. I had a Black Forest chicken sandwich (chicken breast with ham and Swiss cheese). Served on a pretzel bun with lettuce and tomato. I thought it was good. The French fries served with it were not good. They had some kind of coating in them. It would be best to have fresh cut fries. The service was good. The waitress came to our table promptly to take our drink order and checked back at good intervals. We I'll return again at a later date.

Slowest service ever! 30 minutes after ordering still no food..... Sunday afternoon shouldn't be this slow. Glad it isn't a game day...
(1)Daniel A.
Top notch service.The food could be a little better.Had the sloppy joe had no taste the coke was flat.The service I need to give them a 5 star
(3)Kelly H.
Absolutely tasteless, overcooked food. Dry, flavorless. French onion soup is worst I ever had and came out so burned the cheese was black. Soup took 30 minutes. Entree took an hour. Unacceptable lead time for nasty food.
(1)Ray B.
The single worst dinning experience I have ever had . So where did I start It took 10 minutes to get a table ready and once we were seated we waited some more until finally a waitress stopped by. Once we ordered the waitress came over sparingly. The second time she came over she informed us that the kitchen slow and our order will be up shortly. We had been sitting for about 40 minutes and the waitress came over two more times to apologize. Then the waitress went missing and finally I got up and tracked her down. Now it has been an hour and I am chasing them down to get my food. The waitress said our meals would be out in 5 minutes and just as we where ready to leave the food came out. Now comes the next problem the story the food looked terrible. I want to let you know we waited about and hour and 10 minutes for two grilled cheeses and two cheese burgers. I should have just stay home and made it myself because the kitchen at this place sucks! The two cheese burgers were over cooked one had the one side burned as well as part of the cheese. How do you burn cheese to a color of black. My cheese burger was so over cooked that the only thing holding it together was the cheese. Both grilled cheese brownish gray because the idiots in the kitchen do not know to clean the grill regularly. My family and I were long time patrons of starters and after this we really miss it. So in conclusion I asked our waitress for the manager and found out she was the manger which explained why the place was so bad. I would have not given this place one star but the app makes you. What a disappointment and who owns this place should spend a little more time when when opening second location. So there is no reason for anyone to walk through their door again.

Excellent time at Taps tonight. Old Bay wings are great. Best bartender in the Lehigh Valley...thanks Shay!
(5)Kat G.
We went Sunday for lunch and despite the bad weather, it had some large parties which was nice to see.Our server suggested 2 great beers for us. She took the time to ask us our preferences in tastes to beers and she was solid in her choices. We started with the Mexican Nachos which were quite good. My husband being Mexican is discriminate when it comes to anything with Mexican food. We asked for some additional hot sauce to accompany them and that was very tasty...must have been made there..did not taste commercial. My husband had the French Onion Soup that was great and I had the Buffalo Chicken Salad and that was very good. We are coming back for dinner with friends and I am sure it will become a regular spot for us. Good selection of beers and good food, great service ( our server was so accommodating!) and nice atmosphere. Very relaxing.

Coworkers and I went to lunch here. Definitely a place we'll be back to. On-tap beer selection (lots of different ones, styles, breweries, meads and ciders too) was excellent -- some great standards and some we hadn't tried before. Burger was great -- seasoned and seared nicely, 'medium' was actually medium and not rare nor well-done. Fries were great -- not quite as good as beer-battered fries I've had elsewhere, but definitely delicious. With all the beers on-tap here, I think they have an opportunity to batter fries in different styles of beer and get different tastes and flavors on them -- I'd love to see what they could come up with. Atmosphere was great -- music wasn't too loud, variety of TVs nearby with different things on. Chairs and tables felt solid, unlike some other sports bars I've been to. When you're drinking a 10%abv stout, you want a chair that doesn't feel like it's about to fall apart under you. :) Also some nice big arm chairs in front of the fireplace, I could see sitting there chatting quite a while with a couple appetizers and a bunch of draft beers. Service was excellent -- friendly, helpful, attentive, willing to converse a little too. Food came out of the kitchen in a very reasonable amount of time. None of my coworkers had any complaints about the food either. On top of all of that, it's close enough to where we work that we can go there whenever, but far enough off that we're not going to get interrupted. We'll definitely be back. Hopefully frequently! This is the sort of place I hope does well and stays around a good long time.

This place had (still has) a chance to turn this into a good place, but right now it's amateur hour. We've been 3 times, with same issues. The service is brutal. Bartenders and waitresses are college kids that don't care, don't hustle, and TWO bartenders blew their nose in front of us at the bar.....and yes... neither washed hands after. Drink glasses sit empty, food orders aren't taken, but there always seems to be 4 or 5 of them gathered at the waitress bar-stand talking amongst themselves. Atmosphere is good, plenty of beer selections and TVs, just get some experienced servers or this is just going to become a college bar, because everyone who is willing to spend money will head up to Copperhead. Food not great, but again completely salvageable with some care....chicken wings had a lot of black broken bones which its a bad sign....just buy some quality stuff. And if you're going to serve tater tots as a side dish for an adult, do something funky with them....cheese, herbs, truffle oil, gravy.....something so i don't feel like I'm in elementary school C.mon, we really want this place to be good...need some alternatives.

I wanted to like this place more than I did. Knowing it was started by the people who run Braveheart in Hellertown, I was expecting another more unique/niche experience or menu items. The place is nice, the food is ok...but it's nothing out of the ordinary. We got southern nachos for app - they were very good. Then Whiskey Burger, Chicken Parm sandwich and some chili. All were ok, but not better than average, dishes you could get at almost any burger joint chain. The menu is ok but not very extensive. A good number of beers on tap. If this was 1985 it would be impressive and unique. But with all the micro brews, seasonal ales, hard cider, etc choices available this is no longer special. I can get same/similar beers almost anywhere. It's not a unique experience. Service was good, especially for a new place. Atmosphere was very similar to the old Starters that was there, maybe just a little more hardwood. But there aren't enough TVs and 'stuff' to make it a sports bar, it's not special decor, the menu isn't unique, it's not a cleavage fest - It's a good place for a nice meal, but not great and there's really nothing that makes it very special. It's a nice place, I'd go back again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get there.

We use to go to this location with friends when it was Starters. So, on St. Pats day we decided to try it again with some friends. Food and service was good. We really liked the wide variety of craft beer. Spent about $20 in food,,mostly had drinks. Bill came to $58. So after we used our card we wrote on the receipt to leave a final amount of $65. Might of been slightly low do to the fact that we were drunk. Here's the kicker,,,,,,the bartender #11 Stacy, decided on her own without discussing her grievance with us to charge us an extra $5. We never found this out until we got our credit bill. Just giving the readers a reminder to ask for a receipt, I didn't. I didn't think I had too. Very disappointed in the integrity of that staff member

We walked out. Hostess led us through a dirty floor with spilled food. You would think that eventually someone would tidy up. Never happened. Noisy and chaotic. We really wanted to give this a try and patronize a new establishment. Went farther down the road to a much nicer, cleaner, and comfortable Copperhead. We're glad we did.

We went Sunday for lunch and despite the bad weather, it had some large parties which was nice to see.Our server suggested 2 great beers for us. She took the time to ask us our preferences in tastes to beers and she was solid in her choices. We started with the Mexican Nachos which were quite good. My husband being Mexican is discriminate when it comes to anything with Mexican food. We asked for some additional hot sauce to accompany them and that was very tasty...must have been made there..did not taste commercial. My husband had the French Onion Soup that was great and I had the Buffalo Chicken Salad and that was very good. We are coming back for dinner with friends and I am sure it will become a regular spot for us. Good selection of beers and good food, great service ( our server was so accommodating!) and nice atmosphere. Very relaxing.
