A absolute amazing spot with great service, great food, and good beer on tap!
Nice place for a beer or a bite or just day drinking. I sat at the bar, it's a good spot for people watching. I had the hot dog which was excellent. I should have expected the Sauerkraut to be cold on this part of the world. It worked as this is coleslaw country but I think I prefer it to be warm on a hot dog. I hadn't thought about it before though. Either way, stop for a beer or a bite if you are in the area.
We were looking for something different to do on the weekend. We headed to Pittsboro and went to the City Tap. It happened to be a quiet time around town, but we had a great time. The staff was awesome and had plenty of time to talk to us. I am not sure why we have never been there before, but it is on our list now.
Had another great meal at The Tap today. Tofu Bahn Mi with their house made ginger dressing. Loved it! Always friendly and welcoming staff and a fun menu. Good outdoor space too.
Not only is this an AWESOME local bar, they also have great food! On Tuesday nights they've started serving dinner. Tonight's was a Thai green curry. Fantastic!
I was checking your the art gallery and the boutiques in downtown Pittsboro and stopped for munchies and a beer. Great place and they have a huge covered outdoor area. Bet this place really gets a crowd at night.
In the interesting town of Pittsboro today to try one of 2 restaurants. Virlie’s, and City Tap. Heard about steak night at Virlie’s but that’s on Friday night and they were closed for the holidays so across the street to City Tap as they were just opening for lunch. Inside dinning was open for around 6 tables, and the bar. They also have a huge covered outdoor area so getting a table shouldn’t be a problem. Order drinks, and your food at the bar, then pick your seating. Only 2 were working the bar/kitchen area, but service was fast even though we were behind 5 groups catching opening time. I had the tuna melt, the wife had an Italian sub that’s her vessel of choice to compare restaurants. Both served with chips or bean salad. My tuna was definitely not the canned variety. Tastes of fresh tuna steak, with a touch of onions and supper melty white cheese that passed the stretch test. The Italian was a cold sub, dressed well with all the Italian meats, red onions and lettuce, and the classic dressing to make it Italian. She liked the crusty hoagie, but prefers a toasted Italian so this didn’t make her favorite. Great beer on tap and wonderful service. If I didn’t live an hour away I’d be a regular. Give them a try and ask to add a fryer for some fries and onion rings to the party.
My husband and I enjoyed lunch. You start inside and order at the bar. They ask if you will sit inside or out and give you a number for your table. We chose to sit outside. Area is covered and very spacious with a high ceiling. Big ceiling fans create nice air flow. Our order was brought within 10 minutes. We had the spinach dip which was yummy and came with pita, tortilla chips, carrots and celery. Great if you have GF individual. We also had a tofu salad with ginger dressing. You can either have the tofu on a salad or sandwich. We chose the salad. Service was great. We look forward to coming back and next time want to try the grilled brownie dessert. There is a city parking lot across the street or parking on the street.
