International Tap House, Delmar

So many reasons that this place is a gem... From pool, to tabletop games, to pacman, to weekly trivia and live music, there is always something to do at iTAP on Delmar. It also features one of the best selection of beer-to-go in the area, as well as a well curated rotating tap. The team behind the bar are are super nice and fun to get to know, and there's a great patio.

Love coming here for the staff, the regulars, and of course the great drinks. They have a huge selection of beers and I’m not the biggest beer drinker but the staff have been so nice in helping me branch out. No food, but you can bring it in, so I usually just bring in some food from some of the many places open on the loop and watch a basketball game or do some work. They also do trivia here on Wednesdays at 7 and that’s a fun vibe! AND it’s dog friendly!

This place has severe beers on tap and many more in bottles and cans. They don't have any food, however you can bring food in or have it delivered. The atmosphere felt like an old time bar. There are various seating options including outdoors.

Went here last night and had a couple beers. Beer was fine, the selection was good, but the service was enough to ruin it. Came in and my friend and I were very cordial to the gentleman (big guy with a beard) working the bar. We asked for his recommendation, what he likes, and he was very short with us. Fine, whatever. Then he spent the rest of the time chatting it up with some girls down at the bar, we could hardly get him over to close the check. When we did get his attention, he cut us off dismissively and said “in a minute”. I’m not sure who crapped in his coffee that morning, but I could not fathom a single thing we did to warrant his attitude. Very weird. Wouldn’t recommend this spot if that’s what the experience is going to be like.

Located not far near the corner of Delmar and Skinker, parking was a beast. I was meeting up with a MeetUp group there and as soon as I stepped in, I was instantly overwhelmed by how crowded it was an also the weird smell (like sweaty men and booze). It was lots of college students (mostly males) there due to it being near Wash-U. I couldn't even find my MeetUp group right away so I went straight to the bar. The bartenders were on top of everything. It was only 2 of them against what seemed like a hundred patrons scattered throughout the venue. My friend joined me later and we chatted it up with the bartenders and ordered some none-Beer drinks. We had a Pink Tini, Disco Punch and Sam Smith's Organic Perry Cider. The cider was nice, cold and crispy. I definitely loved that! I'm not a huge crowds person so I may come back on a week night or something.

Our first time visiting, while we were in town for a concert. We thoroughly enjoyed the fun atmosphere, attentive staff, and wide selection of draft options. We'll definitely visit again in the future.

You guys should really do something about the bearded bartender who is rude and has a gatekeeper attitude towards kind patrons who aren’t as familiar with beer. It’s clear many other reviewers have had bad experiences. The two younger bartenders we had this weekend were great, so it is not the whole staff! They were more professional. As a brewery bartender myself, he is embarrassing for the whole establishment. On a positive note, this is a great place to pregame without breaking the bank.

Done with work for the day but too early for dinner, I stopped here for beer and some wind-down time. ITH is a large space with a good variety of beers available. Getting the list of current taps wasn't super easy but I managed to spot of local (well, Kansas City) hefeweizen that turned out to be quite tasty. There are power outlets at some of the tables so I was able to catch up on a few emails and pound out a could of Yelp reviews before getting back over to dinner. Street parking is available in the Loop area. Check meters for enforcement times.
