Tap Haus 33

I had never experienced this tap-and-pour concept before, and I can say it has its ups and downs, but overall it was a cool experience. Basically, you get a card, top it up with money, and then go to any tap and pour the beer yourself. The place was nice and the beer was good, but I felt like some of the taps only poured about half a glass. Even though there was only one guy taking care of the entire place, he did an amazing job. I also ordered some food, and everything was good. Overall, it was a nice and enjoyable experience.

A solid place to hang out after work. The wall of beer is a neat attraction, though admittedly it could use improvement. Not all the taps on the wall actually has anything connected. It was a bit sparse and mostly IPAs which I'm not personally a fan of. Other than that, a full explanation was provided on how the cards work, and the food was decent and plentiful. The casual nature of the establishment and the free flowing beer lend to an easy going night out with no pressure for anyone to drink more than they want to. Among the food, the wings were the highlight; it had a nice smoky flavor and were crisp when biting into it, but not dry. Fries, guac, and nachos were all decent but nothing particularly stood out, but the portions were generous. I hope the next time I return there would be a more varied selection on the beers.

About 30 of us. Had a company party there last week. The service was good. They have good bruise on tap. Regular drinks are available too. Live feed of the rangers game and basketball. Nice space.

We didn’t order any food so can’t comment on that. We also did the happy hour unlimited beer for three hours and that’s self serve, so no interaction with servers. The place had a great vibe but slightly too loud to talk, however, I enjoyed the wide selection of draft beers to choose from.

I'm from Michigan, but every time I come the Big Apple, I have to come to the best happy hour in NYC! ($25 unlimited beers from 5-8) And the burgers are great too. 👍

It's a cute place. Concept is neat. Food was decent. I wish though, for the amount of taps available, they had more variety of beer. Most things are plain old lager and IPA. Consider having a few saison, sours, or stout would make it way more interesting. But it is a fun place to chill at in the middle of the city.

This was a spontaneous choice for a work happy hour but it was actually so great! An amazing happy hour deal where you get unlimited drafts that are SELF POUR!!! How sick is that I had so much fun I tried all their like 7 cider flavors it was amazing. We also shared some food, nachos were fine and the wings were super good! I'm definitely saving this place and itll be a regular work happy hour spot in the future!! It was a bit packed and busy so we were cramped in standing room for a bit before a table opened up but that makes sense. Loved the variety of sports being played well, I feel like it’s so rare to have tennis playing but I was so happy to see that it was!!

Came here at 6pm for their all you can drink happy hour till 8pm. Loved their selection of beers on tap. Tried flavors like mango, Maine Blueberry and bunch more. Totally worth trying this out. Came back in 2024 for 3 hrs happy hour all you can drink for $25 M-Th. Good finger food too.

Great place to watch sports - TV's everywhere and the $25 unlimited tab beers ( over 20 to choose from) proved perfect watching the Mets Playoff game WITH SOUND! Wr ordered burgers and fries and they were delicious will definitely be back and it's in an unassuming storefront just down the street from The Empire State Building! Great SPORTS BAR

This place is such a very cool concept and very smart business practice. You can pull the tap yourself and even get a cool card to use to pay for drinks as well. On certain days of the week they have a happy hour special that lasts up to 8 PM. We're all drinks on top or $25 for the whole happy hour, which is also pretty smart. Drinks, for the most part are self-service, though you can order food and be served. Overall, I really enjoy Tap Haus and will be coming back! It's just on the outskirts of KTown so after enjoying some time at KTown, this might be a place you may want to stop by!

If you like great beer...don't go here. They serve a lot of average, easy-to-get-everywhere beer. I'd say a third of their taps didn't have any beer. For a place focused on beer, I would expect a lot more variety and an appreciation for quality product

Came on a Saturday after an early dinner and there weren't enough stools. You have to wait around to snag some. They have a wide beer selection and some cocktails at the bar. They have plenty of tvs to watch sports. It's a nice casual spot. Service was nice. I enjoyed their whiskey sour. We didn't order food but the fried chicken smelled good.

Tap Haus has a really unique vibe - mostly as a sports bar, but not in an overwhelming way. There are plenty of TVs, and most of the seating is bench-style, with a few smaller tables and 4-5 stools at a bar toward the back. The music's never too loud, and the food is surprisingly good! But their real claim to fame is the wall of self-serve beer taps. Something like 40 beers on rotation, with a prepaid card system that works really well. And they usually have some great beers, in addition to the sports bar staples and easy-drinking lagers. Service is usually excellent, though wait times for food can be on the longer side when it's busy. And I've had taps run out on some of my visits (though there are always other choices to make up for it). The people are all super friendly, definitely a big plus to have wonderful staff. Overall, a great option for watching sports in a laid back setting!

This is a really cool concept with the self serving beer! You basically get a preloaded card with money, go up to the beer you want and tap on the beer. There is a 10 second timer for when the tap shuts off as well. It's really close to Penn Station so very convenient for commuters. Tons of TVs for when there are games on too. There wasn't any games on when we went, but I suggest getting there early if you plan to be there for one since I heard it get super crowded. There are soooo many beers to try so we went around and tried some first before choosing the one we wanted!

Stumbled upon the gem while waiting for our table for KBBQ nearby, and so happy we did! Fantastic beer selection, cool vibe, and easy to use tap machines. I've been to a few other novel self service tap rooms, where you pay by the ounce, but can try so many different beers. While the price per ounce may be more expensive (if you get say 16oz) vs a pint at a beer bar, you are paying to be able to try lots of different beers. They also are currently doing a cash promotion - where if you pay with cash you get more on your tap card (eg; $50 cash gets you $70 worth of tap card - and it doesn't expire or depreciate in case you don't use it all in one go)!

So glad that my boyfriend discovered this spot. We visited the first time on a Friday night. It was surprisingly quiet at first, but they picked up as the night went on. I loved the aesthetic, seating, and also a plus with all of the TVS for sports fans. The selection of beers and ability to pour on your own was great and so much fun. We also enjoyed the club sandwich with french fries and wings. Happy campers all around. Definitely would go back and recommend to anyone looking for a chill spot to enjoy beer, good eats and a nice atmosphere.

My first at a self-serve tap house and I absolutely loved the experience! My two friends and I came for post-karaoke drinks on a Thursday night around midnight and it wasn't too crowded. The vibe here is pretty chill. I didn't count how many different types of beers and ciders they had on tap, but it was a lot. The way it works it you reload one of their cards with some money, and then you can use that card to try any of the beer they offer. There's information written about each beer on a card above the tap, including where it was produced and the ABV as well as the price, so you have all the information you need to decide what you want to try. Drinks are charged per ounce and prices were very affordable. For both of my drinks (I went with two ciders), I got half a glass and it was around $4-5 for each.

Excellent beer choices, amazing fries & wings, a full bar, and tons of tv screens to watch your favorite game. What more can you ask for?? Service was quick and efficient. Nice ambiance to come with a group of friends. Would highly recommend Tap Haus 33 for your next game!!

Such a cool concept - self serve beer! You buy a card preloaded with money on it (if you pay in cash you get a bonus loaded onto the card), and pick the beer you want. It's nice because you can pour as much or as little as you want, so you get to sample a bunch of different beers. You just tap your card in the beer you want and then pull the tap. I must have tried at least 10 different beers that night. I liked it because you don't have to commit to a whole pint that you don't even know if you'll like or not. I visited with my friends in July, so they had a lot of fruity beers. They also have a few stouts (which is my jam) and IPAs or lighter beers too if you're not into fruity. And if you don't like beer, they also have a full bar. Definitely a fun place to hang out, especially for beer lovers.

This is such an awesome and fun self-serve bar that has wonderful selections of beer to choose from. I love the concept of how you can preload the card and then you can go up to the tap and help yourself to different types of beer. You just tap your card, pour however much beer you want, and you will get charged by the ounce. I was able to get small drinks of each beer to help me decide which one I like without the pressure of committing to a full drink that I might not end up liking. I honestly love all the fruity beers they had on tap. They were so good and refreshing. The ambiance here is also great if you're looking for a place to chill with friends or your S.O. over drinks. Can't wait to come back again to this place!

Had a great time at Tap Haus!! Went in there on a Friday evening and it wasn't too packed. I personally do not drink but met up with some friends and they enjoyed the beer. I personally enjoyed the southwest burger - medium, guac, salsa, cheese. It was HEAVENLY. and don't get me started with the truffle fries the chicken nachos were ok and a little underwhelming. Overall, service and ambience was great and if you find yourself in midtown, definitely check this place out!!!

Tap Haus is hiding in plain sight and I've happily reaped the benefits. Self-serve bars are becoming more popular, and Tap Haus is the first I've discovered in NYC. I went to one in North Carolina a few years ago and marveled at the novelty of it (it's also both a brilliant and obvious idea). My dad is a big craft beer fan, so when my fiancé and I went to dinner with my parents in the area recently, I had this on *tap* to keep the night going. There were four of us with four very different tastes in alcohol, and Tap Haus had plenty of options for everyone. We came to Tap Haus at around 10:15 on a Saturday night. My parents had a train to catch at Penn Station at midnight and we were having dinner in Koreatown, so I didn't want to venture too far. Add in that we were hoping to find a not-too-divey sports bar to watch the World Series, and I had my work cut out for me in finding a spot that fit quite the list of criteria. Enter Tap Haus, which was more than a solid option. My parents had never heard of such a concept, so they were intrigued and eager to explore when I suggested it. Walking in at peak time, I was pretty surprised at how chill the vibe/crowd was here. It wasn't too empty, but we easily found a table in prime sports-watching position. But first, drinks. Before becoming immersed in the experience, you'll need to load some money onto a card the host will give you (obviously this can be refilled). Peruse the taps (mostly beer, but they had three ciders available when I went, great for GF folks/anyone who's not into beer but wants draught), choose your adventure, tap your card, and the tap's contents will flow free. The tap will eventually stop so you don't need to worry about anything overflowing, but if you'd like to taste something before committing to a whole glass, just remove your card from the sensor when you've served yourself a sip! This concept has always appealed to me because I'm one to enjoy trying many different things, as I did here with a ciders. If you're not into beer/cider, Tap Haus has a full bar in back that you can pay separately at for mixed drinks, etc. Tap Haus is well-equipped for the avid sports-watcher. There are a number of smaller flat screens throughout the bar, and two larger screens for projecting primetime events. When I first walked in I was pissed to see college football on the main projector facing the entrance, but upon walking through the space we found that baseball was playing on a different wall. Plenty of viewing options/angles. The parents loved it, my fiancé and I loved it, so it definitely fit the bill.

Finished a long day sightseeing searching for a much deserved cold beer. Tap Haus had it and then some. Whether you are a draft connoisseur, prefer a cocktail, or want just a good cold beer this place will check all your boxes. I also enjoyed the mac & cheese wedges with a wasabi enhanced dipping sauce. Oh lets not forget the incredible hospitality of the bartenders! Service was on "TAP".

I've been to a place with a similar concept back home in Atlanta, and I enjoyed that so much better. The premise is that you fill a card with a certain amount of money and use that to pay at the different beer taps for the amount poured. I wish that they let you tap the card first and link it to your card rather than setting a limit because I often don't meet it. This space is small, and the beer and food are really expensive?? They do provide a discount if you pay with cash though.

Stopped by here late Friday night to try out the self-pouring facility at this bar. Not too many people inside considering it was a Friday night, so was able to get a table up front for three people without waiting. Before sitting down, they explain the situation for paying for beers. Preload a plastic card up front with some money, which you then tap against the particular beer you want at the wall, this will then pour as many ounces up until a certain point. Each beer is priced by ounce, which is not easy to do the math in your head as you're drinking beers. Definitely a good amount of options in regards to beer types - sours/ales/pilseners/porters etc. Most of the items are mid ABV%, to probably make sure no one gets too sloppy. My $60ish pre-loaded card got me about 12ish half-beers of all types. Kitchen wasn't open when we were there, and they wouldn't let me eat leftovers from another spot that I had brought. Rated up for concept, but would like to try again at some point.

Great selection of beer and cider! And the taps on the wall are so cool. Love getting to fill up a cup myself.

Very cool and Innovative concept Pay at the door, grab a glass ( all different types) and then survey the taps... just like fro-yo Let it run up to 10 seconds, charges 69-89 cents per oz. very cool !!!

Great wings, awesome environment & extremely clean! Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Lots of choices: beer, ciders, and seltzers. Using a tap card to pay is quite innovative - I'm a fan. Come for the chill vibes and options just... maybe not for the food. It's just very typical bar food.

One of the go-to places to hang out and chill for me and my friends. Lots of beer variety and good food options. Unfortunately, I can't speak about the beers because I don't really drink but my friends really enjoy it. Also love love the self-serve idea. Overall food is ok. Nothing too spectacular but still good to have while having your beers. I'd recommend their truffle/sweet potato fries, mozzarella sticks and pretzel sticks. I've had their wings but it was ok, good for their price!

New self-serve bar that opened up in Ktown! What I like about this place is the spacious seating area, the variety of beers on tap (light, dark, ciders, etc.), and the food. You can stand, sit at the bar, or grab a table without having to be right next to your neighbor. The beer is charged by the ounce so you can drink as much or as little as you like. Since I'm a lightweight and like to try different things, this was the ideal situation for me and my friends. The food here is a lot better than what you would find in a typical bar. It's not as greasy and they have finger foods (wings, mozzarella sticks, etc.) to burgers and sandwiches. The bar isn't dimly lit and the music isn't played too loudly so you can definitely go with a group and just hang out. P.S. Try their Mango Cart (light, refreshing) and forego the Pineapple Cider (way too sweet and the apple was way too overbearing).

After a month of hearing about this place I finally went and was not disappointed. The concept of this place is genius and is very well executed. There are 40 taps lined throughout the bar when you first walk in. You pay by the oz, and it ranges from about .60-.80 per oz. The only one that I remember seeing that was over that was the Truly original flavor that is $1.10 an oz. There are beer glasses on the side of the taps and below. The one's below are chilled for an elevated beer experience. The process of pouring the beer is straightforward. First, place the glass under the tap. Tap the card on the sensor of the beer you want and pour. You have 10 seconds after you tap your card to pour, which is plenty of time to pour a full glass if you wish. After you pour and the 10 seconds are done counting down, it will display how much you paid for your pour and tell you how much you have left on your card. There are multiple beer glass cleaners along the taps for when you are ready to try a new beer. For those who do not like beer, there are plenty of options for you! There is a full bar in the back on the left. Again, they also have Truly original flavor on tap and 5 for $25 Truly buckets. I went on a Wednesday at around 8 pm, and it was very chill. I have passed this place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and it is packed. Going to this bar made me feel like I was in the future and if this is any indication of what the future is going to be like it's amazing! Will definitely be going back to this bar!

- A unique concept - You purchase a card in front with how much you want to spend - If you return this card before you leave, you get $1 back - If you pay in cash, you get $25 on the card by just paying $20 - Then there's two walls of taps. Each one a different beer. There's a description with the name, origin, and alcohol content of each drink. It also tells you the price per ounce. - You tap your card and have 10 seconds to pour however much you want - At the end, the screen will display how much you paid and what's left on your card - The beers vary in region and alcohol content; there's something for everyone - Lots of tables to sit at and TVs everywhere. Perfect spot to watch a game - The wings were awesome and we had such a good time - Would recommend for a date, get together with friends, or watching any game on any day - Definitely coming back

If you're looking for *the* new hot spot in K-town, look no further. Tap Haus 33 is completely re-imagining the beer drinking experience with the power of technology. There are 40+ craft beers on tap that are self-serve, and the beers get charged by the ounce through RFID cards. This means that you could get a pint or samples of several beers for the same price. Personally, I'm not the biggest beer fan, and I ALWAYS need to sample everything. At Tap Haus 33, I could try as many or as little as I want to without paying for an expensive beer flight where I may or may not get the option to choose. Eat. Pour. Drink. Repeat. This place literally just opened so it's a bit hectic as they iron out their operations, but I'm excited to come back with locals and visitors alike. Pro tip: Get there before 8/31 for 50% off all beer!

Called yesterday Saturday March 20th and clearly asked what time do guys open tomorrow as in Sunday and the gentleman said 3. Wish I would have taken his name. Arrived today at 4:15 and gates are down. Website says Sunday 3 to 11. Got a driver and black car so we didn't have to drive from all the way on Mill Basin, Brooklyn. Now we are standing around looking for something else to do. Total waste!! Sincere jackies_food_jaunts

My friend needed a water to get sober at this bar because she was so drunk. They refused to give us the water unless we paid them $5. Absolutely no exuses she was already throwing up in the bathroom. Do not come here they are money hungry and do not care about ANYONES well being. A despicable act by the workers who told me the MANAGER'S direct orders were to NOT serve anyone free waters. She had to go to the hospital and they will surely be hearing from her lawyers for the bill she had to pay.

Great spot, burger was great, good vibes overall. Not an overwhelming sports bar vibe but just the perfect amount if you wanna chill and watch a game. Beer was also solid

Came here with a friend a few weeks ago on a Saturday night for a few drinks and really liked the system they have set up for getting drinks from the plethora of taps they have on the wall. There's a lot of variety for those who like beer, but also a really nice array of tasty ciders for those who don't. If I'm in the area, I'll always have my tap card on me and would be happy to return

This place is like stepping in the middle of suburbia right smack dab on 33rd St. That's not a bad thing mind you, it's just interesting. Cool all you can drink system during happy hour, and reasonable prices for a quick beer or ten.

Great place tucked away in midtown midtown with amazing beer selections! I went here to watch the NFL division playoffs and the place was perfect. There weren't too many people here and the service was great. I encourage people to bring cash if you're gonna use the beer taps because you get $25 worth of upload on the card for only $20. Credit cards don't get this discount. The beers come out to be a little expensive at about $7.50 per 10 oz pour. The ambiance is fantastic and the long tables make it ideal place to hang with a big group. I would give it 5 stars if it was a little bit cheaper but definitely a place worth checking out.

Potential to be great. Wings were delicious, staff super friendly Unfortunately all the TV's were not working properly - flickering & flashing on off - super hard to cheer your team on. Nor did they have enough cable boxes to show all the games. I would hope they correct those issues I'd love to go back !

They have variety of beers to select from and the food the food is amazing specially fries and wings were bang on. Definitely recommend if you are group of friends looking to hangout.

A sports bar fanatics's paradise with more than 30 beers to choose from all of which are self-served and paid by the ounce. Real cool concept but decent food options too that mix together for an ideal place to watch a game at. $9 a drink. 5/5 stars as a day bar.

I love everything about this self-serve tap bar! I don't think I could add much more to the 121 reviews explaining the concept. But, what I can add is that the staff was extremely helpful. They patiently guided us thru the process and ensured that we were comfortable. We found a quiet table, ordered cheeseburgers and fries and watched sports on one of their 12 big screen TVs. By the second time I hit the taps, I was a pro! BTW, if you head towards the bathrooms there is a Periodic Table of Beer Styles that I thought was pretty cool. Tap Haus also has Happy Hour from 1500-1900, Monday thru Friday, which I think is very cool! Cheers!

Love the concept of self serve beer! No need to wait for a beer to be served to you. They have over 30+ beers on tap. Simply tap the card and start dispensing the amount of alcohol you want. Get as much or as little as you want. The popcorn chicken and fried pickle were the best appetizers that I tried. Not overly fried or too oily. They also have a bar that serves hard alcohol if you aren't feeling the beer. This place has many, many TVs as well so doubles as a sports bar. They didn't pipe the sound through for the game tho so not sure if that's a regular occurrence or not.

This is an awesome Bar. Great vibes friendly staff. And when you serve yourself, you get to pretend for a quick second that you're an actual bartender. We tried the burgers and the club sandwich they were both absolutely delicious. Do yourself a favor and stop by.

Stopped in before dinner and this place is great! The beer selection is amazing from ipa's to sours. Prices are decent for this neighborhood and the staff are friendly! They have cash specials ($20 for $25 worth of credit) and really have drinks for anyone. Stop by and try their fruit beer. It's mango and it's amazing

I came here after work around 6pm on a weekday and it filled up quickly. They have a $25 minimum on all credit card purchases which is a bit ridiculous. Your card can be saved for another time (not sure if it actually expires). The staff members were very helpful if you're unsure what to do. There's a full bar and table service for food towards the back. We shared truffle fries which was overpriced. It didn't have any truffle flavor and tasted extremely salty. I enjoyed several beers but I felt that the interior was poorly desgined. It got crowded and people hung around the beer stations which got hectic when you're trying to pour yourself a glass. It was also hard to tell how much you've used or have left in your card. The concept is cool but I can't see myself returning.

Hidden gem you would never expect to find in midtown. Tap Haus 33 elevates the beer hall concept to new heights- even better that it's self-serve. We had an excellent server who did everything he could to help me pick the right selection (there are so many options!). Additionally, we ordered 20 wings for $25 (a combination of buffalo and BBQ) which is beyond reasonable. I want to try the hummus platter, and the chicken wings and waffles next! You access the menu using a QR code (like how you take a picture of the tag at Zara). You pay for the beer using a refillable card, similar to what you would use at Dave and Busters. You pay for the food separately. We have left over money so I can't wait to come back this Sunday and enjoy some beer and football.

Great place to stop by after work for a cold beer. Load up your beer card and fill up your own beer. It's fun to try different beer. It does get pricey, but they also have a bar and also the food is surprisingly good here. Mostly bar food that goes very well with beer. Coworkers and I ordered the appetizer sampler (fries, wings, mozzerella sticks, fried pickles..)and it was perfect for 3-4 people. The wings were really good as well. They have alot of tv's surrounding the room. Servers are all very friendly. If you pay cash, you get a better deal. Also if you check-in on yelp you get half off.

An adult candy store. One of the coolest concepts I've ever seen and a great beer selection. The food is just okay, but that's not why you come here. Actually, the chicken quesadilla was pretty bad. Definitely a gimmicky schtick of a bar, but absolutely worth a visit or two for beer geeks.

A huge selection of beer! I really enjoyed the Watermelon cider & would definitely go back for that. There was plenty of seating. The only happy hour available is Mon-Thursday $25 for AYCD beer.

I found Tap Haus while looking for a sports bar to watch MNF with a few friends. I'm really happy I discovered this place. It has a cool concept of tap beer, self service. You get a prepaid card (which as of today give bonus values based on the amount added) you then pour your own glass from the wide selection of beers on tap. Since you pay by the ounce your free to try a little bit of everything. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. If your new here they explain the process. They are very accommodating if you want to watch a certain game. The food was pretty good beware the jerk chicken is kind of spicy but my favorite between the buffalo. Chicken pesto was good and the tenders didn't dissapoint. I really enjoyed my experience here I would definitely come back next time to catch another game. *50 cents wings on Monday. Atleast it was today!*

They closed the bar halfway through Sunday night football when there were at least 15 people watching the game. They gave us a little bit of warning before doing so, but it's still really disappointing when you have a prepaid card for beer. Didn't have enough time to use the money.

Medium-sized sports bar with loads of draft options. Lots of IPAs at the current time. You buy a "tap credit card" and then use that to pour your own draft. No waiting in line to get served at the bar / fumbling around for cash for a tip. You just have to carry your overfilled glass to your destination without spilling!

Super cute spot! Great for a date night, hang out with friends but certainly a good place for groups. You buy a tap card and get to pouring!! If you pay in cash they offer credits so for example if you get the minimum tap card and pay $20 cash, you'll get $25 credit. SO BRING CASH! They have a full bar so don't let your non-beer drinking friends talk you out of checking this spot out.

Such a huge variety of beers to choose from! And they're all descriptive in flavor so it made it easier to choose from. It's great that you can choose the amount you want to drink and only be charged for the amount you want. Such a quick and easy way to grab a few drinks with friends. The service was great and the food also came out pretty quickly. We had the tap house burger and the truffle parmesan fries; and both were delicious! Didn't know the fries were wedges, but that's okay. The whole concept is brilliant and would definitely come back!
