I've been coming here since 2000 and they've always had decent prices, a good selection of cold beer and most importantly for me is the Knights Steakhouse ground beef that they've always used here for their burgers! I really like the steak fries they have & we're fried perfectly. The bartender never lets your glass go empty and makes sure the food is right. It's a chill hole in the wall with great selection of beer & liquor & have generous pours! They have some pool tables too if you want to rack em up!!
It is a nice, laid back local spot to visit. They are friendly staff and friendly people. There are various things on the menu like chicken, flat bread, burgers, salads and appetizers. There is a place to shoot pool and play table hockey. Also try the wings. They are known for the Long islands too.
Aaron the bartender is fantastic. We make it a point to stop every time we come up to Michigan. The food here is great, the drinks are very well priced, and it's got a great dive bar feel to it without being dirty and grimy. If you're in ypsi, come have a drink!
I love this place. It was one of my first pubs in the area and it became our place to go when going to a bar. Burguer and quesadilha is amazing, never tried anything else because I like these ones. And usually go there to beer and beer, sometimes dards too, so it has all I need. Price is okay too, and the staff is another reason we keep going. They serve well.
You gotta stop at The Tap Room when you're in Ypsi. Especially if you're visiting Ypsi with an EMU grad. This place has been around since 1941! There's food, booze, foosball, darts, shuffleboard, and a couple pool tables. I highly recommend their fried cheese curds. The sriracha ranch that comes with them is amazing. Drinks were pretty decently priced. $5.75 for a draft beat or we'll drink, $8 for top shelf. Food was a bit pricey tho. Aaron was our main bartender. He was super attentive and friendly. Every other bartender I interacted with were just as great.
"House made" tortilla chips not convinced, but still good. "Fresh salsa" seriously doubt it, but still good. Great vibe, friendly staff. Delicious onion rings!
One of my favorite places in Ypsi for both food and drink - excellent burgers and nachos - excellent happy hour specials - an Ypsi legend for many many years and still doing it right - an excellent vibe - solid
We went looking for a bar and grill. McShane's was open but had no food service. We headed into Ypsilanti and decided on the Tap Room. Inside the bar was cool and quiet. There were about a dozen people enjoying drinks. We asked about food service. Another failure. No food service. This problem is due to Covid-19. We stayed in the Tap Room. It was Happy Hour. We played darts and drank and talked to other customers, I hope the bars are able to reopen foodservice soon. In the meantime, I recommend Happy Hour at the Tap Room. The bartender was friendly. The service was quick. And the drinks were great.
My favorite dive bar in Ypsi. Cheap prices, mediocre service and greasy food. Exactly what a dive bar should be. Chances are you will get a nasty look by the locals when you walk in, but don't be alarmed, they don't bite. If you're lucky you might even get to play pinball or see a drag show.
