Tap 42 isn't just a restaurant in Coral Springs -- it's where burgers meet craft beer, brunch meets chaos, and locals meet way too often.
If you live in Coral Springs and haven't been to Tap 42, are you even trying? This place is basically the city's living room -- equal parts gastropub, sports bar, and weekend hangout, with food that outshines what you'd expect in a place where the beer list is longer than the I-95 at rush hour.
Location: Smack in the heart of Coral Springs at 3111 N. University Drive, Tap 42 is easy to find, harder to leave. It's got that modern industrial-chic vibe -- brick walls, big booths, and a bar that looks like it was built to survive a hurricane. Inside or outside, you're surrounded by energy, whether it's Sunday brunch chaos, happy-hour warriors, or families pretending they only came for the salads.
Menu highlights:
The Prohibition Burger -- a monster stacked with white cheddar, applewood bacon, and secret sauce that drips down your hands like a guilty pleasure.
Crispy Chicken Tenders -- not your freezer aisle tenders, but golden, juicy perfection with dipping sauces you'll want to hoard.
Truffle Street Corn Guac -- because why not make guac even more extra?
Salmon Zen Bowl -- for the friend who swore they'd eat healthy but still steals fries off your plate.
Craft beer & cocktails -- the beer list reads like a small novel, and the cocktails (try the 42 Mule or Frose All Day) are dangerously fun.
Service: The staff here has the energy of people who know exactly how to keep a packed house moving without breaking a sweat. They're quick with recommendations, fast with refills, and somehow manage to smile even when you're that person asking, "Can I get the sauce on the side, but also add the avocado, but like... on top?"
The vibe? Loud, fun, and buzzing with life. Brunch is basically a party with food, happy hour is the local social hour, and dinner is when you realize half of Coral Springs also decided Tap 42 was the plan.
Tap 42 is the spot that proves you don't need to drive to Fort Lauderdale or Miami for a killer meal and good time. Coral Springs got lucky with this one.
Come hungry, come thirsty, and come prepared to wonder how a "bar and grill" pulled off food this good.
