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.

Great place for those of us that really don't know much about beer! Why? Mainly because you can buy beer an ounce at a time. Not sure if you're going to Linke whatever comes out of that tap? Try a taste and move on to one of about 40 other options if it wasn't the right pour for you. Downside is you spend more per ounce. A real beer fan might notice but I go out for beers so rarely that it's just not an issue.

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.

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.

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!

Worth 5 if they only hand food. But you can bring in grub from outside I like that incase you don’t want the typical bar food most of these spots serve. I did a flight to taste some local flavor. The back room has a few old school arcade games and I love that I’m such an 80’s baby. Big spot lots of screens great for watching sports.

ERIC!!! Shout out to the bartender Eric, for dealing with our shenanigans! The best drink I’ve had ever! Limonada suíça.

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.
