The Taphouse offers a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that strikes a nice balance between lively and conversational—you’re aware of the energy in the room without having to compete with it. We chose to sit at the bar, where Mark Z. provided attentive service. He was approachable and candid in answering our questions, adding to the overall ease of the experience.
While the menu doesn’t aim to be overly inventive, it delivers well on what it promises: a hearty burger, solid drinks, and a laid-back setting. For diners looking for a straightforward, no-frills meal paired with friendly service and a casual vibe, The Taphouse meets expectations.

I had dinner at McP’s Taphouse Grill in South Lake Tahoe. We ordered the steak with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, along with buffalo wings as an appetizer. Both the appetizer and the main dish were very good and nicely prepared. The service was fine, and the live music added to the atmosphere. Overall, it’s a good place to enjoy a meal in South Lake Tahoe.

While visiting South Lake Tahoe, I was looking for a bar to watch the Carolina Panthers game, and went to McP’s Taphouse Grill. They have 40 beers on tap, and an impressive selection. It was nice to try beers that I can’t get on the East Coast. I had the half order of fish & chips with pub fries. It was so tasty. This is a cool bar and I had fun even though the Panthers lost.

We visited this restaurant in January 2026. We mostly liked the dishes. However, in the picture they look larger than they actually are. That’s the first thing I didn’t like. We ordered meat stewed in Guinness beer, and it was delicious. But the second identical dish arrived with meat that was half sinew and fat. The portions aren’t very large for the price; I’d say they’re small. And thirdly, what personally disappointed me was the menu entry in the lower right corner. On all dishes, which are already not cheap, there is a technical fee 3% and an 18% fee for no apparent reason. If this is how they regulate their tips, then I don’t like this approach; they decided for me how much to pay me. But most of the dishes were very tasty.

The staff were very friendly. Always with a smile. The fish n chips were good but the nachos were mid to low-did not like the nacho sauce mixed w refried beans ver soggy. Plenty of beer and other spirits to choose from. Pretty good vibes overall.

I recommend this lovely Irish pub. Such a fun atmosphere. They have an extensive beer selection and food menu. The staff is friendly and the service is very good. Every time we have been here they have had good live music. In addition at times, they clear the tables in front of the band for dancing.

Good decent selection of food: Callagan stew, lasagna, wings, fries, and ice berg salad. A bit on the salty side. Friendly staff and quick service. There was live music, but we sat a bit away so it didn’t disrupt the conversation.

Cool place, life music… fun and energetic… This was our 1st time here. The only thing was the service… host did a great job sitting us..The server could have been a bit chill with taking our order, helping with some choices… other than that, we liked the experience and recommended this restaurant. The cocktails were great, burger was very good, huge by the way… the sweet potato fries were awesome..
