Melzingah Tap House

Brunch with friends and family was relaxing and enjoyable experience, provided a great space for conversation and connection. It was a fantastic time to savor upon delicious bunch food perfectly cooked poached eggs on our boards. The server that we had was kind and gave us passionate service over the top and recommended a couple things definitely went with it. The drink options are so great I definitely need to explore the rest of the menu. In front of the restaurant is literally a waterfall need to go back sometime!!

Consistently bustling, delish, and thirst quenching. Good variety of local and not so local beers. The food is always satisfying. Great place to settle and unwind. The truffle fries are yummy, and the seasonal watermelon salad was refreshing.

Wonderful restaurant with amazing food. I grew up in Fishkill in the 80s & 90s and I am shocked at how different Beacon is these days. Met a friend and walked up and down Main Street. We looked at a couple different menus before finding Melzingah, but they hooked me with their diverse menu offerings. My friend (who's still local) said the menu changes seasonally. He opted for a Vegan Burger and I went for the Red Coconut Curry Stew with Chicken. Both dishes were out of this world. I also got a refreshing vodka citrus drink (don't remember the name), but it hit the spot on a warm spring day. The staff was just as excellent and super knowledgeable (our server is the one who recommended the stew). I will definitely stop here again the next time I am visiting the area.

During a recent work trip, my colleague and I had the pleasure of visiting Melzingah Tap House, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were treated to nothing but the best. Our server, Sam, was an absolute delight. She was courteous, attentive, and had fantastic suggestions that made our meal even more enjoyable. Her charm and professionalism truly stood out, making us feel right at home. The burgers we had were top-notch, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. And the beer selection? Incredible! I was so impressed that I couldn't resist buying some to take home with me to Calgary, AB. If you're ever in town, Melzingah Tap House is a must-visit. And if you're lucky enough to have Sam as your server, you're in for a real treat. 😉 Go Birds!

This is one of my favorite spots in town. The drinks, food, service, and staff are all on point. Everyone is amazing and genuinely friendly. The espresso martini is made with their house-made cold foam and it’s incredible. The blueberry martini is also a standout and honestly to die for. Always a great time here.

Had a delicious lunch here. The Shortcake cocktail is to die forrr it was soo good. The crispy pretzels and skirt steak sandwich were also very good. Overall great vibes and great food, I will definitely be back soon.

Just visited Melzingah Tap House for the first time last week. We arrived a few minutes early so it gave us the opportunity to visit the local shops on the strip which was super fun too, so on a visit you could make a day of it. The warm wooden decor with wrought iron design is classy and inviting. The service and waitstaff were professional and fun she shared the daily specials too which we tried as well. Despite being a brew house we enjoyed some lovely fresh cocktails including a Lyres Bees Knees so delicious We also enjoyed the famous Parmesan truffle fries 🍟 omg 😳 yum!! The steak sliders and sandwich as well as the special which was shaved pork and Kimchi grilled chese 😋 Definitely looking forward to another visit as there is so much to try on this changing, creative menu - well done!

Parmigiano truffle fries and a great burger. There Alot of vegan options also. Great walking area. Can get very busy at times. The food we had was spectacular, on point and beyond in so many ways. If in the area, a must try!

Always a crowd pleaser. Whether I'm looking to entertain visitors or to do happy hour/dinner, melzingah is always a winner. There's plenty of cocktails (zero proof options too), beer and wine options and the food never disappoints. The pretzel bites, macaroni + cheese and wings are my favorite go-to appetizers. Reservations recommended. It gets busy, especially given the prime location to Beacon's waterfalls. If you can snag a seat at the bar, that's a great spot to sit and dine. They also have outdoor covered dinning which is great for all seasons.

Came here with a group of friends, we made reservations to ensure a table. Because otherwise there can be long wait times. I ordered the kale Cesar salad with chicken, now the flavor of it was really good I didn't however like that the kale still had big chunks of the stem. Which isn't the biggest deal but it would've been more enjoyable for me to have had the kale prepared better. It's not a huge restaurant but a good size, our waiter was attentive and gave good service start to finish. Lighting is a bit on the darker side but they do have windows which let in a good amount of light! I wouldn't be opposed to coming again but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go.

I found myself at Melzingah Tap House with one of my college friends for lunch and to catch up. We hadn't seen each other in years and this seemed like a great place to reunite and grab a bite. That being said, we booked an afternoon slot and made our way. The last time I was in Beacon was roughly 10 years ago, and wow it has changed a lot - so many cute shops and eateries along the main strip. I heard property prices have soared up here and I totally believe it. Melzingah definitely fits well into this - as the aesthetics fit the classic design of the area while still having a contemporary feel. The dining room is moderately sized with that aesthetic you find in most modern eateries that popped up in the 2010s. The menu is American fare - mostly apps, salads, and sandwiches with some mains. Since they are a tap house, they have a good variety of beer as well as some cocktails. I decided to start with one of their cocktails which was quite good - the temperatures were reaching 60 outside so I was manifesting Spring and got one of their lighter choices. I was feeling a sandwich so I went with that for my actual lunch - the BLT was speaking to me firstly because it's a BLT, but secondly because they used arugula for the L, added an aioli, and served it on a baguette. The sandwich was really tasty - the helping of bacon was generous but not overly salty and the baguette was substantial enough to hold the sandwich together without being too hard. The sandwich came with fries as a standard but I decided to get truffle fries instead - I'm not sure where the truffle was in these because it just looked like they were topped with grated cheese? Unless the truffle was in the cheese? I'm not sure, I couldn't taste any truffle. Service was good, food came out at a good pace and all the staff were friendly. Overall, I had a great experience at Melzingah - the food was great, as was the service and the company. I wouldn't hesitate to return the next time I find myself up in Beacon.

Came here on a Monday. Got sat right away inside. If you want to plan to sit in the outside area, call ahead and rsvp. Had some bar bites that were both delicious and filling. Can never go wrong with the buffalo wings! Cooked perfect. The pretzel bite were so good with the cheese dip. Had lunch Maine beer a 7% IPA which paired well. The hostess was super nice. She almost sold me on the Twix cheesecake but I was super full. Next time!

Shout out to Laura who help set up reservations for my group and was super responsive to all of my groups questions and needs. My group and I had major issues getting there which caused us to be extremely late for our scheduled reservation. The staff was very accommodating and still made our party feel welcomed. When it comes to food since we were a large party we had the prix fixe brunch. The menu had a variety of options when we compared it to other prix fixe options in the area. I had the French toast which was fluffy with a nice crisp to it. Everyone in the group looooved the Mac and cheese. I definitely will go again when I am in the area so I can try their regular menu that seems to have a lot of yummy options! I definitely recommend this place if you need to host a gathering of any sort.

Stopped by for brunch this afternoon during my day trip to beacon and can honestly say this place has such a lovely vibe. From the industrial decor, to the solid menu featuring breakfast boards and brunch staples like French toast and frittata - you'll leave here feeling full and ready to explore the town. Ordered a shareable appetizer, the avocado toast board and paired it with the steak and eggs as my main. The avocado toast was good but not great. The steak and eggs hit the mark for me. It came with tomato-y home fries and arugula salad that really brought the whole dish to life. The service is super friendly and down to earth as well. Could see myself coming back here next time I'm in the area.

We've been to Melzingah a number of times and always enjoy it. Their dining room is cozy but lively. It can be pretty loud when it's busy (which is often), but they have a good sized covered and heated outdoor tent that's quieter if the noise level will bother you. We always end up ordering something different than the last time we were there, but I've really enjoyed their specials and fried chicken sandwich in the past. This time I got pasta which was great. The pasta was cooked perfectly. My husband got the massive bone in pork schnitzel which was fabulous. Crispy and juicy and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommended. Service is always excellent as well, whether you're inside or out. The space is quite small with quite a few high top seats, so if you have any mobility concerns it may be a little challenging. The outdoor area is probably easier. There is also only one van accessible parking spot as it's a small parking lot.

I'm literally obsessed with this place I've been here a million times and the food is phenomenal 10/10 times. Outside back area is cool and every single server I've ever had has been amazing and friendly, always going out of their way to make it a memorable experience. You HAVE to try the truffle fries and the french onion soup. Save room for dessert.

Went to this tap house from a recommendation by a friend. Nice, convenient location. Good food, nice ambience and great service! I will be recommending melzingah to others as well and returning for sure! Thanks for adding to what was a great day out!

Holy Mac!!!!! This place is beyond delicious. It has so many rare and fun options. We ordered 3 items and each item was a 10/10. Pear salad with chicken, crispy rice spicy tuna and the chicken skin dumplings. Every single item HIT. I've never experienced such good flavoring in a full meal and the chicken dumplings is super unique. The service was great and our server was very nice and attentive. Highly recommend for dinner when you come to beacon! Ambiance feels like a tap room but nice and spacious for dinner tables! LOVE- come to BK! So impressed.

They were busy on a Tuesday evening. Filled to the Brim The ambience was comfortable. Not too loud for a toddler if you have one. She really enjoyed it. We called in for a reservation as we were driving in as we had a toddler with us. We were accommodated immediately. Once we reached, we were seated immediately, and the toddler was given a high chair. They have a small parking lot behind the restaurant. And managed to snag a parking lot there Drinks were ordered and came out pretty quickly. I tried their signature cocktails lavender lust - the drink was a touch heavy on lavender syrup. We did order a bottle of seltzer, and so the bubbles made it better. I also tried their milk stout, which was not bad. But it's not something I'd order again. This is a good place for family gatherings. They do have a variety of seating available. We were seated at a table. For food, the guys ordered skirt steaks medium rare. It came out a touch too rare, barely warm in the middle, and they ate it anyway. And comments from my husband were they were also a touch heavy on garlic and salt. So if you like them lightly salted, please let them know in advance Our brussel sprouts were delicious, and so was our red curry. Brussel sprouts were crispy outside and just tender In the middle. It was not overly spiced and was not spicy at all, almost like a lightly spiced coconut broth. Our little toddler enjoyed the curry broth and wanted more. It was a wonderful experience. Our sever was very nice. I didn't get her name, but she was very nice and always checking on us

Enjoyed a nice dinner here with my wife and friends. Cute brewery and restaurant with a lovely outdoor section. Our waitress mayhave been over tasked but it caused her to be slow to care for tables. I had the skirts steak ordered medium rare and so did my friend. My wife and friends wife shared the warm Brussel sprout salad and the chicken curry. The steak had ALOT OF SALT AND GARLIC, and was very undercooked as well. My wife and friends wife enjoyed their dishes without complaint. One note. Online booking said no tables available but I called and got a table upon arrival. As well 3 other tables were vacant. So don't always believe online booking. Overall I would go back. Just ordering more specific

Had lunch july 4th wekend . It was a typical gastropub. Welcoming server. The cocktails were good . The grilled cheese superb . Good bread and cheeses cripy and hot when it arrived . The truffle fries also delicious. Friend like the stone fruit and borrata salad . We will be back

Drove up from the city to spend a day. We sat at the bar, and received great service. The bartender let me try a few ciders before deciding. The ciders and beer on tap are a wonderful selection. My grilled cheese and tomato soup were delicious. Prices were affordable too.

Vibe: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Value: 6/10 Baby kale & grilled artichoke dip: 7/10 - really loved the dip, but the crackers were tough to chew Skirt steak: 8/10 Heritage pork chop: 8/10 Overall: 7.5/10 (3.75/5) [To clarify our review system: 10 = we'll never have anything else as good as this in our lives (we use 10 very sparingly!) 9 = extraordinary 8 = great 7 = above average 6 = average Anything below 6 is being critical]

The food here was phenomenal. However, the star of the show for me was the margaritas... possibly one of the best I have ever had. I don't drink often and rarely crave a drink. Yet, I constantly think about the margaritas from Melzingah's! The service was quick and efficient for how absolutely busy and full to the brim the restaurant was. It is very energetic inside and I would consider somewhere else if you are looking for a quiet dinner. However, I look forward to coming back! If only it was easier to snag a reservation.

A friend a I came her in the middle of the day in the middle of the week while waiting for a car inspection to finish. We had SUCH a blast. We sat in the back house part off the parking lot, I chose a spot directly in the sun and was so happy. I sat in the sun in on a clean wooden bench next to potted plants and just ate it up. We got drinks that I LOVED but have completely forgotten the name, but it was a seasonal St German bubbly one with a floral garnish. We split a side of fries (crispy, salty, tasty) with sides of ketchup and aioli, and just had a great time. The waiter knew perfect timing, he was nowhere around while we were yapping but popped up right when we needed him.

Just a fun, lively place, great atmosphere! Service is great and so is the food. Even my vegan husband can eat there. Had friends up from the city and took them there, they loved it too. Afterward, we just crossed the street and were right at the Fishkill Falls. We've never had a bad experience, depending on on the time you go, a reservation is usually a good bet.

We've had both lunch and dinner there Dinner food was very tasty! Lunch was pretty good They talk about how good their crispy fried chicken sandwich is, but we thought it was overcooked, not tender. Burger special at lunch was good, as was the chicken wrap And their brussel sprouts appetizer was very good! Service and atmosphere were both very good

Most reviews about long wait times are old, so I was hoping that they were outdated/uncommon. Went for my birthday with a reservation, and we waited over 70 minutes for food with no communication or explanation. The food was also disappointing, the reviews feel really overhyped, or else maybe just skip the burger and chicken sandwich for something else. Ended up needing to leave before dessert, even though I had been excited to try one. We had plans and couldn't risk waiting another hour for dessert.

Came here for a late lunch with a friend. This place is super cute! We were seated right away, but the place seemed a little busy for a Wednesday afternoon! I took a glance at the cocktail menu but since I was going to be driving a little bit later I decided to stick with water. We both ended up ordering the crispy chicken sandwich, but she had the side of fries and I ordered a side salad. The chicken was definitely crispy and had a blue cheese sauce on it. Tried a few of the fries (loaded with parm!) and they were delicious. So glad we chose this spot! Will definitely be returning for drinks!

Food is always dynamite. Tasty and savory and the staff makes you feel like you're at a home. Definitely a place you want to revisit

Nice place! The blackberry and basil smash mocktail was really good! I would also recommend the pretzels with spicy cheese sauce. Our waiter (believe his name was Steve) was so very nice! Gave us recommendations for local ice cream and was really attentive

I stopped into this establishment for the first time during the beacon food crawl. First of all, the mac & cheese that they were serving outside was fantastic! Top notch! Love the garlic croutons! I had to go in and have some cocktails. The margarita that the bartender baby was perfectly crafted, and the bartender took a lot of pride in recommending drinks and making them for us. La Vida coco was an exceptional choice with a nice muddled jalapeño after kick and a refreshing pineapple coconutty flavor. It's an adorable establishment and everyone is really super friendly and nice. Loved it!

My family and I went to Melzingah's Tap House on NYE for the first time. We made last minute reservations and the staff at the restaurant were super accommodating. The service was excellent during a busy night for them and we received our drinks and apps quickly. The food was amazing , my family and I will definitely be back.

I've been to Melzingah many times over the years and the food and drinks are consistently delicious. I was there most recently on Saturday night for dinner and again, it didn't disappoint. When they changed chefs a few months ago, I was a little nervous about the food, but overall most dishes are still a hit (skirt steak needed more salt on our first visit after the change). It's our favorite for casual lunches, date nights, and Father's Day.

Decent food and good service . Nice modern ambience nice sandwich and salad choices

Great find in Beacon! We were excited to dig into some good gastropub food after a disappointing experience at the Vinyl Room. Personally, I was ready to eat a live cow by this point, but our server suggested the burger instead which was a good compromise. Seating was a little tight and since we hadn't reserved a table beforehand, they tried to seat us as this little overflow table by the bathroom and kitchen which they were using to unload deliveries and fold napkins. Luckily there were empty seats at the bar which we were able to move to instead. Our food and drinks were pretty solid. The burger is pretty darn flavorful and decadent - my only qualm was they made it medium-well instead of medium-rare - and we also got a salad, Brussels sprouts, and a few beers to wash it down. Also the smoky old fashioned (smoked with real wood and a blow torch!) seems to be a big hit. Service was not bad considering how many people were there on a weekend evening, all the food came within 20 minutes. Prices are a little on the high side, ($21 burger, $24 chicken sandwich, about $10 per beer - inflation sucks!), but overall it's worth it!

We were able to get a 7:30pm reservation on a Saturday night even though we called last minute, which was great! Their outdoor seating is in their back lot, it's walled in with heaters and there's lots of light - it's basically another building. Service was so lovely - very warm, personal, and timely. Our waitress asked us to put in our apps and entrees at the same time to make it easier on the kitchen staff, which made sense given how busy it was. She took our drink order and by the time she came back we were ready to place our food orders, it was the perfect amount of time to decide :) Apps came out first and when we were finished our entrees came out. Food was absolutely delicious with large portions. After dinner we were asked if we'd like to see the desert menu, our waitress recommended the hazelnut cake and it did not disappoint. We came out for an anniversary dinner and had a very nice evening. Would love to return for the chance to experience the main taproom. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area!

Came here as a half way meeting point with my best friend and overall had a good meal. We got the cheese board which was good but I wish the waiter explained the cheese because we were unsure what we were eating. For dinner I got the chopt salad and unfortunately I wasn't a big fan of the dressing. The kung pow brussel sprouts were very good, though. I would go back and try out a different entree rather than getting a salad!

Melzingah Tap House in Beacon is a local haunt for delicious American fare and craft brews. We came for dinner and started with the crispy tuna rice, spread trio, unbelievably crispy pretzel bites and a bomb ass Mac and cheese. For mains we had the Beacon burger and steak tagliata. We were super impressed by the food and drinks here. Melzingah is an ideal pub and we wish it was closer to our neck of the woods

Met up with some local friends that love this place and it didn't disappoint. We sampled some local beers as well as the Oktoberfest sampler. We had the bloom drink, the chimichurri steak, artichoke dip, macaroni and cheese, patatas bravas and the scallops. Everything was delicious and we had leftovers! The service was friendly and quick. It was a little loud, but expected from a taphouse.

Wow!! The cheese and pretzel bites are a MUST and my chicken sandwich was so tasty. Great brewery feel to this place and we enjoyed everything we ordered. The waitress was helpful with the beer types as they had plenty of options to choose from. We even got a view of a wedding happening across the street at the waterfall! Would definitely make this a go-to spot in Beacon.

If you know me on this platform, you know I don't drink beer because I despise the taste. But, where there's food and cocktails, I'm in. From Stout to Lagers, Amber ales and more, Melzingah on Main St in Beacon, NY has a craft beer menu showcasing mostly(?) Northeast beers and some from Chicago, Cincinnati, etc. This is my husband's type of place and was all over it. Melzingah was the perfect spot after wrapping up with an errand north of here in Woodstock. This met hubs' love for craft beer and my love for a great cocktail menu that not only sounds good on paper, but (hopefully) tastes great as well. Outdoor dining wasn't part of our plan- especially since we came here on a whim and didn't know they required a rsvn- so we were led outside to their patio. Regardless of the chilly weather on a Sunday in June, my husband and I enjoyed the warm and cozy al fresco vibe these folks are pulling off with the heated upright lamps (they did the job!), lots of picnic bench tables and some plants and flowers around. Our server was our go-to guy for popular dishes, beer for hubs and cocktails for me. My 'Shortcake' cocktail sounded great on paper but it tasted just like it's called and didn't make my jaw drop. Hubs enjoy all 3 of his different types of beer. Except, when you're dining outside, beer is served in plastic cups¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Hubs was ticked off by this and didn't enjoy the whole experience whatsoever because he was expecting each of his beers to be poured in a specific glass to bring out the flavors in each of his selection. Food ranked way better in my opinion. Melzingah's popular 'Pretzel Bites' (more like rods) were incredible- but so was our spread Trio of Whipped Feta, Lemony Hummus and Tzatziki. My Crispy Red Snapper was fantastic and hubs enjoyed his 1/2 chicken leg+thigh dish. Service was nice and so was the Indie music in the background. I can't talk about the beer- but I can mention- where there's sensational food, people will come.

Food was really good! The dip trio was delicious was asked for more pita bread! Truffle fries were hands down the best I ever had! Not greasy and very tasty! Steak sandwich was fresh and really good! I found it on yelp while I was traveling and decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed! Service was great the waitress was nice and attentive the whole time! She even noticed an error on our bill before we did and fixed it. Cool looking spot with nice decor and funky style. good spot!

On our way back from the city, we stopped in Beacon after taking the train before our drive back to Albany. The location across from the falls is beautiful. Beacon has a great Main Street with good food and drink. This place should be the first stop on your tour. The building is rustic and industrial. Our bartender, Victoria, was very good. Constantly checking on us and thoroughly courteous. We ordered an American Pale Ale and a Sour for beers. Food was Delicious with a capital D! Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts and Mussels with Sausage from the Appetizer menu. Both were so good. We asked for more baguette to soak up that amazing mussels broth. So GOOD! Would we come back? Hell yeah! When we head to the city, this is a must stop!

Beautiful place! Make sure you make a reservation for the main dining area. The food is delicious. My husband truly enjoyed his hamburger. I love the chicken dumplings but it think they are a bit overpriced since most of the plate is carrots and green beans. Otherwise everything was fabulous. Great and kind service.

I got the steak ($34) and the summer berry panzenella ($18). The panzenella salad was great for a tap house but also good in general. A nice refreshing vinaigrette that wasn't overly dressed on the salad, and the burrata wasn't super creamy but was still nice. The steak was supposed to be medium rare but was cooked a bit more than my liking. I don't think it had that much flavor but my fiancée liked it. The mushrooms that came up with it were nice. I keep forgetting how good the portion sizes are when you're away from NYC. It is loud but understandable given it's a tap house.

Been here a few times and it's always been a good experience but today was on the complete opposite end. Starting off with the food. It made me and my fiancé sick. The shrimp I had in the cold peanut noodles was bad and the chicken from her chicken sandwich was not only bad but it was disgustingly dry. Most important I'll emphasize the stuff was bad. I'll be graphic and say we both have been on the toilet since 40 minutes after we ate and still going while typing this. Sick is an understatement. Wings were fine solid and good weren't bad. Waitress was nice honestly only good part of the experience. She was very solid. One of the better I've had anywhere. Bartender talked shit with two older ladies about us having our baby with us which was funny because we know him. But anything to make money right. Staff seemed too focused on a party that had the whole outside reserved. Wouldn't classify as young family friendly. Forgot people like this don't appreciate young families with babies/young kids. Plenty of other spots in Beacon. Could go on more long winded complaining but owners don't change or give a shit. Proceed with caution

This place is great we all enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The service was fantastic. Our server was kind and friendly. She gave us insight on what to order. I definitely would come back here.

Great service! The lunch specials always have really delicious options. Easily the best French onion soup I've ever had

Dined at Melzingah Tap House during a weekend trip to Beacon. The burger, lobster pappardelle, and specialty cocktails were delicious. Our server Brianna was the best and nailed it with the recommendations. Such a friendly face and gave us good tips for weekend activities in the area. Overall great experience!

Ordered a glass of chardonnay and the pour was atrocious. Very small! I wanted to complain but was hesitant to send it back! Burger was good but fries were burnt to a crisp and very greasy!

The first time I went to Melzingah I sat outside and ordered a chicken burger. The experience was literally forgettable. Do not do this! The second time I went to Melzingah I sat inside -- which is much more relaxing -- and ordered some real food. First out was the cantaloupe gazpacho, a culinary revelation that I will absolutely order again. Don't overlook it! Second was the kale salad, which is admittedly a little basic but Melzingah just nails it. If you're thinking "well, I could make a kale salad at home" -- don't fool yourself. It wouldn't come close. Finally we had the branzino, which was a little bland for my taste but my dining partner loved it. Our server was warm, attentive, and patient, all of which was really appreciated. Melzingah is one of the best restaurants in Beacon. My final bit of advice is to go on the off hours when it's less crowded, which makes for a much more pleasant atmosphere.

This old world restaurant located in Beacon NY was very industrial looking . The servers were very attentive and had great suggestions. We tried a little bit of everything. It was the perfect date night spot to get some drinks and some good food . We had the classic margaritas and some appetizers We was great to drive out of the city , see all the trees and foliage and enjoy this new atmosphere. Nice time

I want to start by saying that last night's manager is the only reason this review doesn't come with one star. She did her best to salvage a terrible experience, although she was basically trying to hold up the wall in a house where the foundation was cracking and the roof was on fire. Still, her efforts were appreciated. As for the dining experience, well, here we go. Our server knew basically nothing about the drink menu and had to leave and ask for help every time we had a question, and those were not short trips. She also explained nothing about the food menu or the ordering process. Since (according to her) the kitchen and cooking staff were small, we were not allowed to order our courses separately, but had to submit orders for app/salad/entree/dessert all at once. We were not told this until we'd already tried ordering apps. Then we were only informed that certain items took much longer to cook than others (45 minutes we were told) after trying to order them. This would impact the timing of getting everyone's food served. None of this information was volunteered, we had to stumble onto it. The server did not make any effort to smooth out this process for us, and we were left confounded by all the quirks that came with what should be a very simple process of ordering dinner at a restaurant. After ordering, we waited. And waited. And waited. Not just for food-two beers took over 30 minutes to arrive. The server seemed relatively unconcerned. She would occasionally check with the bar (according to her) but then come back with an "oh well haha I guess it'll be a little longer" response. So far, this is not looking good. Our appetizers did not arrive. Our salads did not arrive. When our entrees arrived, not only were some lukewarm, they were served at the same time as every single thing we ordered. Charcuterie board, salads, appetizer wings, entrees-all of it at the same time. Within seconds, there was barely room on the table for even our drinks. When I pointed out to one guy delivering the food that we ordered appetizers and they should have come out first, he shrugged and oozed attitude while declaring, "Well, it's all coming out at once." As if we didn't have a choice in the matter and shouldn't be complaining. It's at this point that I instructed our server to send the manager over. Mistakes are one thing. Disrespecting us after you screw up is not acceptable. As I said at the beginning, the manager tried her best. She was very apologetic, comped what came out incorrectly, and looked after us herself from that point on (we saw very little of the unhelpful server after that, so I'm not sure how much was her fault and how much was the kitchen's, and at this point it didn't matter). After all that, we hadn't even tried the food. Now that it was here, we were hungry and eager. Well, I'm sorry to say that the majority of what we were served was extremely disappointing. As I mentioned, some of it wasn't even hot, so it had been waiting for a while before being delivered. As for the flavor, most of our food tasted like nothing. There was no seasoning, not even salt, on basically anything. The only dishes that had decent flavor were those that included inherently salty items such as bacon or blue cheese. Everything else was bland, lifeless, and thoroughly underwhelming. Sautéed mushroom pasta? Nothing. Steak and potatoes? Nothing. Burrata salad? Tasted like burrata and leaves. This wasn't a fluke, it was a problem with almost every dish. If the chef went to some culinary school that tried selling the "let the ingredients speak for themselves" scam, they should get their money back. Food needs seasoning. Don't serve me a plate of halfhearted effort and try to pretend I'm unreasonable for wanting flavor, especially at the prices you're charging. This felt like eating pictures of food. The plates looked pretty but the flavor was nonexistent. On our way out, the manager wished us well and said she hoped to see us again. But I cannot see any possible reason to return. This place needs a major overhaul, not just with the service but with the kitchen. From the staff attitude to the ordering process to the amateur food preparation, Melzingah Tap House needs a rewrite from top to bottom.

The Melzingah Tap House is absolutely phenomenal. High energy, great decor but most importantly, amazing food and service. We're not talking typical pub fare here.... Muscles with spicy curry was phenomenal. I probably could have just had this as a main and slopped bread all night. I did decide to try the schnitzel with mushroom gravy and its accoutrements however. The pork schnitzel was panko crusted and deep fried. Coming in at 1/2 inch easily, it nearly completely covered the wooden block that it was served upon. Was cooked perfectly medium well and tasted delicious. Great crunch when you bite into it. Best I've had. Server was attentive and pleasant. As a party of 10, we were not forgotten nor neglected at any time. I really, really liked this place.

Great service, awesome ambiance and delicious food. It's a nice twist on the classics!

I wish I could give them 500 stars! We had our sons wedding rehearsal here last night and from beginning to end everything was executed perfectly! The venue for private parties in the back is an amazing space that is so understated that you just fall in and relax instantly! The staff was so amazingly on top of everything! The food was so incredible, who ever heard of guests raving about a buffet, perfect! Big shout out to Laura who pulled this all together for us and made a beautiful evening for us all!
