TAP Sports Bar

08/29/2025- First time at Taps Sports Bar ( restaurant), after walking throughout the entire entertainment - we decided to stop in at TAPS!!! The hostess, manager and server/cashier Donald W. were all wonderful. Great restaurant experience. The music 🎵 was definitely party ( fast-Upbeat), and the food : Ragatoni with Shrimp, and the CatFish sandwich =Yum!!! I like that there was no bread to fill you up before the main meal came! We sat outside!!!!Bon Appetite! I will come back!

Everyone enjoyed their food. Drinks were nice, service was kinda slow for it to not be really busy. The pretzel was the best thing and the drinks were good too. We'd definitely come back for those. My mom loves their steak and cheese sandwich.

The place was packed & ppl were having a good time. The prices are a bit steep for my liking but it's a casino location so.. The drinks were good though. The food was okay. The service was good.

Food was really good. The drinks weren’t bad and the service wasn’t bad as well. It is worth coming back for the food and atmosphere.

I personally am all for a good time however, the live karaoke is quite honestly the biggest mistake I think TAP MGM has made. The decibel at which the microphones are set at, is entirely too loud. I literally could not hear what my date was saying to me and we were seated in the same booth. I personally believe the karaoke should maybe take place in the back of the restaurant in the large private event space. That would also help with the flow of patrons, and the congestion of people that are blocking the aisle attempting to record their family/friends sing. My date and I selected TAP MGM to watch the Washington Nationals, have a few drinks, and have a good meal because well, that's what you do at a "Sports Bar". Had we known it was amateur night at the Apollo, we could have been better prepared or selected another venue. On the bright side though, our server was wonderful, drinks were tasty, and food was served hot and very well seasoned!

The atmosphere is pretty laid back. Nice sports bar located in the casino. We've been a couple of times. But this time, the prices seemed wayyyy higher. The food and drinks were really good. Our waiter Imani was the best and the scenery outside is really beautiful... Would've given 5 stars if their prices weren't as high. My bf and I paid almost $200 for 2 drinks, 2 appetizers and our meal.

It's always a vibe at this spot on Wednesdays for karaoke! But you gotta show up early to secure your spot! The food is great and drinks are on point! All staff are cool with great personalities! Great place to take a break from losing your money at the Casino! Lol

I stopped in at Tap before a show, and it was a huge disappointment. The service was completely lackluster—slow, inattentive, and far from welcoming. On top of that, the system for seating patrons was downright horrible. Confusing, disorganized, and frustrating from start to finish. For a place inside MGM, I expected far better. Definitely not worth the stop—I won’t be back.

I came for Happy Hour/ Wing it and Sing it on Wednesday I ordered the wing deal, I prefer dry garlic parm seasoning but it was good. I couldn't eat all 10 wings. Music was pumping and staff was friendly. Will return to sing next time!

Really cool place to watch the games, the food is really good. This is not your typical sports bar fare. This place serves shrimp and grits and also clam chowder. I had the catfish sandwich. Can't honestly say the drinks are strong but maybe it's just me.

TAP Sports Bar is one of the better large-scale sports bars in the DMV. This bar is located inside MGM Casino. They have bar seating, traditional dining tables, booths, high-top tables, lounge-style seating, private lounge areas, and outdoor congregating areas. To no surprise this place gets packed on Friday nights, weekends, and on nights when major sporting events air on television. This bar has so many big screen televisions situated throughout the venue, with many located at and near the bar, that it is virtually impossible to not be within clear view of multiple screens. They have a catalog of cocktails, brews, and house punch to choose from. Their food quality and availability can be inconsistent at times nevertheless the food quality is decent for a sports bar. The staff here are generally friendly. I recommend booking a reservation on Friday nights, weekends, and on days of major sporting events because the wait times here are incredible for walk-ins. Also keep in mind this bar is inside of a casino, so you can imagine how strict management is to honor reservations. If you're visiting MGM only to go to this bar I also recommend arriving early on the aforementioned nights as the parking garage fills quickly despite how massive it is. Overall a good experience and I will continue to consider this place for a sports bar outing.

I'm playing poker and game down for a quick 'to-go' order. I took my two orders of fried shrimp ($18 each) back to the table, took two bites and immediately returned to Taps. The shrimp were old and most of the batter was in the box. I'm over this place for real this time.

Overall, I would give TAP 3 stars due to my meal - shrimp and hush puppies arriving well after the rest of my large party ordered their meals. I actually was the first person to put in my order and someone it was the last order to come out. However, our server was very accommodating and removed the items from the bill because it came out so much later. The shrimp and hush puppies were better than I anticipated. Also, I had a rum punch mocktail that was pretty good. We initially arrived when they open and it was relatively quiet but by 6pm, it was pretty packed but the noise level was decent.

Service stinks not much on the menu and prices high Would not come back No one came around to even check on us

Wednesday karaoke is a vibe! Got get there early or make a reservation! The DJ is joyful and had a great personality and party spirit. So I arrive with my cousin and we make a reservation, had to wait about 15 minutes to get seated (very friendly hostesses). Ordered a couple of beers and the nachos. I added chicken and the beans. They were good and a very large portion, but for the price just a little pricey. They needed to be layered with a little more cheese and layered throughout the whole dish. And the chicken seemed to clumped in one spot! If the toppings were a more evenly spread then it would have been more cohesive. All in all it was good the atmosphere was filled with good people that wanted to have a good time!

My family decided to step to Tap for karaoke night. It is VERY loud in the restaurant, FYI; But we partied hard. Wow! The catfish nuggets with the remoulade sauce were incredible. The spinach dip did us justice also. I had a minor hiccup with my bill and thought that I was overcharged for my food. Renard the General Manager contacted me & made sure everything was corrected. We had a great time at Tap!

This review is for lunch for four at a booth on a Saturday in early May. service: Waitstaff was OK. Nothing memorable, but OK. Hostess seats you when you arrive. bar: Good tap selections; however, nothing local. All craft brew standards, which is fine. That said, Solace, Aslin, or Port City would make the tap list live up to the restaurant's name. food: Menu is bar food with a few a few entrée choices. Looks like they have some Late Night and special. My wife got the chili ($12 as of 05/2024) and it was fine. I ordered the jerk chicken eggrolls ($24 as of 05/2024). They were greasy and heavy. Another diner had the Reuben ($18 as of 05/2024) and thought it OK. details: When we were there, you could only enter through the casino although there seems to be an entrance to the hallway. It's a big open space with lots of TVs and a wall of windows.

We had a blast on Karaoke Wednesday. If you have a group, be sure to make a reservation because it's a popular night. The restaurant is located inside the casino at MGM. The food and drinks were mediocre but good enough to enjoy. Despite the menu clearly saying that you can order 5 wings flavors, I was told by the server that the chef caps them at 3 flavors. Therefore, they decided to bring me an array of sauces (more than 5, mind you) on the side with the boneless breaded wings I ordered. Not preferable but I dealt. Luckily, it gave me the opportunity to try an unlisted sauce which seemed to be honey sriracha, and it ended up being my favorite one. The Phily was really tasty (better than the boneless breaded wings), but it wasn't anything I would ever crave again. The fries were lukewarm and bland. My drink (a Seasonal Mule) was delicious but nothing special. It contained Alsolut Citron vodka, lime juice, mango puree, and ginger beer. Overall the karaoke experience was extremely fun. Great vibes, great energy, and great people. I love how they post the lyrics on multiple screens around the establishment so folks can sing along (and you have multiple points of focus when you're performing).

I came on opening night of football night; ravens vs chiefs and went to sit at the bar seating. I was greeted by Karlous and he was such a sweetheart. He made great drinks and was very attentive to me. 10/10 would deff recommend. Ask for Karlous when you go!!!

Great sports bar to get some good food and watch ongoing games while you take a break from the casino. However, I think this restaurant needs some management assistance when it comes to having enough staff on the weekends. It was hard to arrive at 8, looking into the restaurant and seeing sooo many empty tables and seats to being told there was a wait list that didn't start UNTIL 9. So we had to come back at 9, put our name on the list to wait another 30 minutes. They ended up filling up the restraunt but only had 2 servers trying to work the entire area which made it hard to have a more attentive experience from our waitress. I'm not sure if this is common but should be evaluated if so. Aside from that, the nachos were everything! Super huge portion so good to share with others at the table. The wings were cooked perfectly and had a good buffalo option. The loaded fries were pretty basic compared to the nachos and unfortunately, I didn't capture these.

Idk where to start but it's really pathetic... PLEASE READ. I visited once for the first time a couple weeks ago with 2 friends waited 45 mins for a table so I decided to walk around until table was ready. We finally get our table and the hostess seats us and gives us water. 30 minutes go by not one server greets us or tries to take our order. So we left and told them that we didn't get service we were just hungry and wanted to watch the game which seemed like everyone else was doing. Came back next week to try it again and this time we had a server at least, but it took 20 minutes for a spinach dip that never came out but a table next to us got seated after us and got all their appetizers before we got anything all they had was wings and such. I couldn't take it anymore because I felted targeted like if you don't want us to dine there then just say that. We told after we decided to walk out and the manager told us spinach dip was watery and they wanted to make us a new one. But no one told us this in the moment we just sat there looking silly like why is no food being served to us or anything??? The manger said it wasn't the servers fault but she could have stopped by and said something at least. It just feels like constant neglect every time I go and I'm very easy to please I just want food and drinks at some point. In my 2 visits I haven't even gotten to TASTE their food. They just ignore use !!! I express my experience to the managers who just don't seem to care just excuses. To top it all off I work in a restaurant and have over 8 years of experience so I'm very understanding, but the service at this place is just sad and food doesn't even look good. I just wanted to try it but at this point they can keep it. It's just sad. We went to Tom's watch bar and had a way better time and service with better ambiance. Do yourself a favor and save your time and money

Good food and good environment. A lil pricey, but to be expected in the casino OF MGM. Bartenders know how to make drinks! Food was good also.

I love this restaurant so much! I typically come here for the nachos (ADD CHICKEN) because they're so full and delicious but this time I decided to also get the buffalo chicken tenders (they were cheaper than the buffalo wings). The nachos and tenders were so good! Flavorful and made me feel like I was eating wings lol. The service tends to be a little slow because it's a very busy bar but the food is worth the wait.

A very nice sports bar off the casino floor. Outdoor and indoor seating. Limited menu but the burgers or Reuben is a solid choice. No happy hour specials. Service is a little slow but friendly. They do have private bottle service areas and are good for groups.

Staying at the MGM National Harbor and went looking for dinner. Decided on TAP, and walked up to the desk, the host was very nice guy and we were taken to a table. The waitress, Ravine stopped by pointed out a couple things on the menu and said she would get us some waters. We ordered after I had a few questions for her that she answered. I tried the Wacky Wednesday burger, wasn't sure what to expect but it was actually much better than I expected. Be hungry if you order it. All the staff we talked to were great. The manager stopped by and checked on us. She was setting a great example for her team, helping where needed. They had Karaoke and it started getting load, but not obnoxious. Ravine made a recommendation for desserts which were very good. Too full when I left. Check it out if nearby.

Set your expectations and you won't be disappointed. It's bar food! Bar drinks aren't bad Service.......

Got here around 9:30 and we had to wait a short while until they started seating people. The bar was open but it was crowded. So we put our names down and waited for almost 15 min. We didn't have to sit right there and wait they texted us when our table was ready. So we were able to walk around while we waited. TAP is just a sports bar with tvs all around and good bar food. The service was great and we had no real complaints at all. It was a Saturday night so of course it's going to be the crowded. I got the Steakhouse Burger, it was really good. I love any kind of burger with blue cheese crumbs, *chefs kiss* ''Twas yummy! Drinks were good too!

Visited this venue with a friend to catch the Raven's game on a Sunday evening. Parking was free in the garage at MGM We had a 45 minute wait after we made a reservation. Our reservation status was noted thru a text message, that we rec'd about 50 minutes later The bar area was full but there seemed to be alot of empty tables, even for our wait. My guest said it may be because they are short staffed Our waitress (Shavrondra sp?) was super nice! There was a Game Day menu as well as a regular dinner menu. We opt'd to just get shared appetizers since the game was almost over when we got our table Boneless Chicken wings were not tasty. Almost like they were store brought and microwaved, then doused with buffalo sauce The Nachos were huge (enough for 2 people) with chicken and was just okay. I actually left hungry since I didn't enjoy the food served. Cocktails were around $10 and were served in small/short glasses If I was here and needed to waste time at the Casino, I would just come for the beer and tv watching

After initially seated, the service was good. It took about 15 minutes for someone to come until then. The table in the back didn't have the best tv views, but I was so hungry I didn't care. The food was great and the portions were large. I thought it was very reasonable for being inside MGM as well.

We went in expecting sports bar food, we got fine dining quality dishes! Their steak is on par with a steakhouse quality; tender and juicy, served with asparagus and fries. The fettuccini Alfredo too is on par with a fine dining Italian restaurant, rich in flavor, generously garnished with mushrooms, shrimps (optional), and grated parmesan, in a rich creamy sauce! Food was great, service excellent, and the ambiance lively. A solid five stars!

Wings are a must. If you like old bay wings and order them please ask for 2 cups of honey thank me later. Service was amazing the waitstaff always has great suggestions from the menu. It was a game night when were there and the ambiance was exactly what a sports bar give LIVE!

Service - Destiny is freaking soooooooo awesome. She took everyone's order including drinks without writing anything down. She never let us run out of drinks as well. She is a hustling hard ass worker. I'd hire her anyway. Thanks for a great experience "The Fourman's"

We decided to try Tap Sports Bar on a football Sunday and learned some very helpful tips on our arrival. On football Sunday's there is: 1.) a 90 min limit on a table; or 2.) if you are staying to watch football and want to sit at a table it is $75 per person; or 3.) if you choose to sit at a high top table for football, which seats a lot of ppl then it is a minimum spend of $350; or finally 4.) if you can get a seat at a bar then none of this applies. We got there early enough that we decided to sit at the bar and was able to see our game of choice. For drinks we had the Pinot Grigio and it was a very large and healthy pour, and the game day punch which had a good balance of alcohol to juice. We also got the plain wings with garlic Parmesan on the side and the traditional loaded fries. The food was really hot on arrival and the wings were super crispy. The bar can get extremely packed so if you plan to come on a Sunday, do not arrive before the 1pm kickoff, and do not plan to sit at a table be prepared to stand around the bar with no seat.

This wasn't my first time here but the first time I didn't order just bar food. I was hungry so I ordered the rib-eye blackened that came with fried abs broccolini. When I say I was surprise that the steak was cooked to perfection for a quick serve restaurant. Everyone else was pleased with their food as well. I was so hungry that I didn't get any pictures of Our waitress was good. Even with the crowd of people since it was an event she was very attentive.

DadrIan was a great waiter, very attentive and provided excellent customer service. He stepped up to provide service when the wait staff was short. He deserves recognition. Thank you!

Tap Sports Bar is a great place to stop by, even if you aren't going to the casino. This sports bar is located in the MGM near the National Harbor. When I first arrived, the wait was non-existent, which was a huge plus on a Saturday evening in the DMV! After being seated, we had quick and friendly service. I ordered a cocktail, which was reasonably priced. I also ordered the Turkey burger with broccollini instead of french fries. The burger did come out with fries, but they quickly rectified the mistake. The turkey burger was ok; however, I was not a fan of the aioli that came with it. If I were to do it again, I would ask for the aioli on the side. The broccollini was delicious and I even snuck a couple of the mistakenly given fries. If you like old bay, then you will like the fries. Me and my bestie ended the meal with some dessert. The portion size for dessert is much larger than we expected. She didn't really care for the strawberry cheesecake in a jar because it's more like mousse instead of cheesecake. The apple tart was great, but huge. I suggested that they post some pictures of the food, so that we know the portion size, but we shall see if the manager takes note. Overall, it was a pretty good experience and you won't regret coming here after playing the slots or just stopping by for a quick beer, app, and chill atmosphere.

Located inside the MGM casino in National Harbor, MD. Food was good. Server was very friendly and informed us about the karaoke night they have every week and how he would be happy to serve us again. It was a bit loud because of the music but at least it was good music.

Came for a family dinner and it's ok. My family got the burger and wings and they have no complaints. However the pot pie, wake lukewarm. The edges were nice and warm but the inside was room temp. Also the filling is this sweet onion flavor which wasn't what I was expecting and didn't enjoy. The fries were fresh and so was the onion rings very hot. Service is nice no complaints, I'd just stay away from the pot pie.

Good selection, some staff really cool, some didn't seem to give a damn. Dead Sunday morning/afternoon and we were told the couches outside were $600 minimum. Not a single person utilizing the outside area. Bartender was cool AF though.

Food was decent. Had the shrimp tacos and onion rings. Was pretty good. Service was blah. Some of the service staff seemed to blatantly ignore you when you're raising your hand for something. Wasn't my favorite place but I'd swing by here to watch the game. The ambiance looked alright but smelled a little funny. Check it out if you're near the harbor. Was decent.

We got there when it just opened and it took a bit to get seated. Mia waited on us and she was delightful. We had a view of the outside. We got the chicken tenders and they had a lot of breading. I got the burger and my husband got the philly cheesesteak. Both were good and cheesy. The fries were crispy and a little salty. Nice outside seating was also available.

Long wait where they wouldn't even add you on to the wait list. Bar service was good and fries and wings were okay. Nothing exciting but also could be worse.

The food was very good. The problem was the service. Having eaten at this sports bar several times, I was taken back by the awful service that my brother and I received today. After seating ourselves at the bar it took about 20 minutes before we had to stand up and get her attention even though Stacey, the bar tender saw us sitting there, because the gentleman whose seat we took came back and told here that he'd be back in 30 minutes to get his food. After we finally got our order from the server, we sat there without any eating utensils or napkins. My brother reached out to the food server and asked her for napkins and eating utensils. Another interracial couple sat a couple of seats down from us and Stacey catered to them the entire time without even asking us if we were ok, or if we needed anything. When the interracial couple received their food, Stacy hurried over to them, bringing them cloth napkins as well as silverware. Again, she walked and talked all around us, never engaging since she first took our order. The gentleman whose seat we had taken came back a third time because the kitchen had forgotten something regarding his order. Stacy, then hurried to the kitchen to get whatever was missing from his order. I'm not one to play the race card, but anyone would feel some kind of way looking at her actions with the interracial couple, and having been ignored since your order was taken. As we were getting up to leave my brother asked another employee behind the bar if we could get a refill on our ginger ale. As we were getting up to leave Stacy finally came over to us because the other employee told her we needed a refill. Having dined here many times in the past, we've nevered experienced this kind of prejudice and disrespect at this sports bar. Needless to say i was furious as we left the bar. My brother had left his jacket and i went back to get it. I asked the people if they saw his jacket and it was given to the bar tender. I asked Stacy, the bar tender and she just said over there somewhere, no help at all. Stacy probably shouldn't be in the customer service business. Al Wilkins

Great lounge at the MGM GRAND, drinks and food is good, staff is super friendly and engaging, live music on Thursdays is a plus

Nice sports bar!! Plenty of tv's viewable from any seat. There is music playing also but not obnoxiously loud. We were immediately seated in a comfy booth near a window, but away from the game ruckus (our choice). Server was pleasant, engaging, and efficient. We dined on angus burgers cooked to perfection -- note the choices are medium well or well done due to the patty size; and fries, washed down with unsweetened ice tea. The tea is very good!! We prefer to drink our tea unsweetened and don't always encounter a well made fresh ice tea -- well, this is some good tea! Dessert: the chocolate cake shown as Smith Island cake--- was very good! Moist, and not too chocolate-ty. Picture snapped-- as we were indulging. Overall we enjoyed this spot and will visit again.

The food was good. Hamburgers and wings were good. Draft beer was cold in a large stein. The drawback is this place is closed alot, usually some type of wait for no reason and the service was really slow. It is weird that a sports bar would have the same game on each tv???

Food was pretty decent for a sports bar and portions were somewhat shareable. Parmesan garlic wings were very good. Attended Cigars and Friends event hosted by C&C Productions which took over the outside and some of the inside seating. Great event. This was my 1st time visiting Taps although I'm no stranger to MGM at all. The staff was nice and they worked together because they were busy and short staffed. The bar area needed help though we ended up ordering two drinks at a time to offset the nearly hour delay. Drinks were decent. The Alfredo was very good as well as the burgers and Caesar salad. Overall good visit just order two drinks at time and you should be fine all around.

Great spot! The outdoor space is much larger than I expected! There's also indoor seating. I can't believe I didn't come here before until recently. If you're directionally challenged like me, go through the main casino entrance and make two lefts! I'm not that much into sports but the vibe is chill and the eye candy ain't bad. Bartender Sean was great! He knows his drinks and was very friendly. Kudos! I'll be back soon forsure! And as much as I come to MGM, the parking here still confuses me!

Seleen (host) is the best. She helped us greatly when we had an issue with MGM security, which is absolutely not related to Tap House. But she stepped in to help us when it was not her duty. But she was amazing and made us feel better. She needs a raise, and I am thankful that Tap House has an employee like her. They make you feel safe !!!

Alright let's get right to it, this is probably a top 5 bar in all of Maryland. Have I been to hundreds of bars in the area? No. Am I even qualified to make such a statement about the bar life in Maryland? Definitely not. BUT, I couldn't imagine another sports bar in the area having better food than Tap, or as my girlfriend's Dad likes to call it "Taps". Gotta love him. Anytime we go to "Taps" we get the same thing, (see attached images), wings, nachos, gigantic pretzel. And i'll tell you, it's a DINGER! GOING, GOING, GOOOOOOOOOOONE! I'm talking Barry Bonds out of the park style, Earth Wind & Fire Let's Groove Tonight kinda smash HIT. And if you don't understand what i'm saying, the food is delicious. Yes, i've only had those three things, but if being consistent is wrong I don't want to be right. I could only imagine how good the other food is, because they completely nail all of the simple appetizer dishes. It's a sports bar so you pretty much know what to expect, big TVs, people screaming at their team losing, occasional DJ sets. It's pretty cool, not to mention it's attached to the MGM casino so you can fill you stomachs then leave right out and empty your pockets. Isn't that a great touch of duality. Takeaways: 1. Nachos - Straight up MISSILE. Kaboom. 2. Pretzel - I mean this this is the size of your back. 3. Wings - This is the wing experience that I dream of. Vibe Check: Passed, smash hit monster jam heavy hitter.

Came here for Father's Day as my dad is a simple man when it comes to food. Bar food is always a win for him. TAPS was a solid choice considering most great culinary experiences in the DMV were booked. Portions are large. Menu has changed in the pandemic. They used to have a great crabcake on the menu. That's no more. You have to go to Pappas in the Casino food court for it now.

Just fire the cook! The food was horrible, how do you destroy both steak dinners?!!! The broccolini had more char marks than the steaks. Eating out is a luxury in this economy and my money was not well spent tonight. The service was as expected and the bartenders were pleasant but the kitchen staff needs to do better! If you eat before you get here you will enjoy yourself at the bar. Would I return.....Not unless I ate prior and only for drinks.

The Burgers are disgusting They tase like fat fat fat We were so hungry we waited long for the food but we couldn't take a bite!!! God I still can taste that fatty food in my mouth

Not sure if I came on the wrong day but it was LOUD!!!!!! They had a DJ going and the volume was crazy high. I came to have a quick dinner with a loved one and we shouted at each other the entire time. The menu was pretty small with not many options to choose from. The food was meh, nothing special.

Went to eat with the family before headin to the casino. Food/drink- food was better than expected for a sports bar. Chipped salad was a great start to our meal, enough for us to all share. Crab cakes were hearty with no fillers, ribeye was cooked perfectly(medium), and fish and chips crispy and flavorful. As for sides, the succotash was diverse, French fries well seasoned, and coleslaw light. Service- Imani took care of us and was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. Vibe- we loved all the TVs and the atmosphere. Folks were in casual clothing and some dressed up. The outdoor space was a nice addition to the booths and tables inside. Very spacious and not too noisy. Overall, food was tatsy, service was good, and vibe was excellent. (Great people watching).

I came here with my lighter skinned friends and there want enough space at the bar for us to all sit together. The barista (white women) served my friends before me every thought I sat first. I let it go because maybe she didn't see me. The she took my friends order and they told her to take mine because we were all tiggers. She said ok and never came back for my order everyone's food came out well before she ever made eye contact with me again. I ended up placing my order with a young man that seemed to be the bar back. With all of the black people in DV it's even more disgusting to have a racist bartender. Never again

Expensive if you want drinks. Food was ok. Just know you are in the Washington Dt area so you are going to come out of the pocket for drinks.
