We had an good meal there. I would go back. I thought this chili was too hot. I am a person that loves hot stuff as well. The brussel sprouts were very good except they were too salty! The service was top notch . The atmosphere was excellent. Overall we had a great experience.

Always wanted to come here, finally did. It wasn’t packed at all, just right. It’s welcoming and the atmosphere is great! They have a bar with a nice selection of alcohol and beer. I like the fact that it’s has an open window/door straight at the front of the place. They have big screens TVs everywhere in here. The music was just right cool vibes… I ordered food to go we Fried cheese curds with Shrimp tacos and we also got the donuts holes.

Urban Tap is hands down one of the most amazing restaurants we’ve been to in a long time! The food was incredible, and the drinks were so creative and good, especially Mimosas ✨ The girls and I pulled up at 11 AM for a pink-themed brunch yes, even the guys joined in . The greeter hyped us up right away with the sweetest compliments on our outfits, which made the experience feel even more special.
I had the classic breakfast, and everything was perfectly cooked and super satisfying. I also got to try bites of the chicken and waffles so crispy and flavorful, paired with a touch of sweetness that just hit right . The Anglaies French toast? Melted in your mouth. And don’t even get me started on the shrimp and grits creamy, savory, and seasoned just right. One of my coworkers ordered the Brisket omelet, and it looked amazing! Definitely on my list for next time. I’m already planning to go back for more of their creative themed brunches and I can’t wait to finally try the dinner menu too! 10/10

We were supposed to go somewhere else but the wait was too long. My friend called here and they were able to sit us right away. Coming with 5 kids and 3 adults we didn’t know what to expect.

The place was definitely not for kids , hence the no kids menus but we made it work since we were short on time.

Our waiter was really nice. The food is definitely adult portions but really good. I got the chicken and waffles, I was happy to get the toppings on the side because I wasn’t a big fan of the syrup and the coleslaw but the actual chicken and waffles were delicious. I would say the potatoes were the best part (I ordered a side dish). They were more seasoned than the potatoes.

The other adults and kids enjoyed their food as well, of course we had to get to go boxes for the kids.

Next time I come back I’m brining my husband so we can get the full experience.

The food was absolutely delicious, every bite was full of flavor! The service made the experience even better. Our waitress was amazing, very friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. I also had the latte, which was rich, smooth, and full of flavor. Highly recommend!

It was our first time dining here.
Stopped in for lunch. The menu had a lot to offer & not your regular “bar” food menu. This was some place unique & special. We both had the Grilled Pear Salad. It was delicious and plentiful. We could have split one & been satisfied.
They offer craft beers but I’m a traditionalist & opted for a lite beer. The other had a non-alcoholic Mango Mojito. Very tasty.

I loved the unique brunch options. The atmosphere was awesome and lovely. Service could have been better due to the restaurant not being very full. Overall this was a great experience.

On Friday, March 14, 2025, I had the pleasure of visiting The Urban Tap for dinner with a group of friends. This was my first time dining here, and it certainly left a great impression!

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was lively and inviting. The restaurant was buzzing with customers, and the bar area was well-equipped with several large-screen TVs for sports enthusiasts. Despite the crowd, we had a great dining experience.

Now, onto the food—absolutely delicious! Every dish served to our group was well-prepared, flavorful, and generously portioned. Some of us even had leftovers to take home. It was evident that the chefs put great care into each meal, ensuring a satisfying experience for everyone.

Parking near Carson Street can be tricky, but we were lucky to find a spot on our first go-around. Just a note for future visitors—The Urban Tap does have a dedicated parking lot, but you do have to pay to use it, even after 6 PM.

Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for a spot with great food, a vibrant atmosphere, and a solid selection of drinks, The Urban Tap is worth a visit!

Here’s a breakdown of what was ordered:

1. Fish Tacos ($16.50)

2. Tuna Tartare Dish ( Tuna & Crispy Rice – $18)

3. Shrimp & Grits ($22)

4. Classic Tap Burger ($15)
6Bacon Onion Jam Burger ($19.50)

5. Burrata Pesto Pasta ($26)

6. Brussels Sprouts ($5 – Side / $14 – Fried Appetizer).

7.Wings ($18)
A plate of chicken wings with celery and carrots is also visible.

8. St. Paddy’s Day Specials
– The Reuben Mac ($18) and Guinness Pub Burger ($18)

The food looks delicious, well-plated, and generously portioned. From classic pub favorites like burgers and fries to more refined options like tuna tartare and pesto pasta, the variety on the menu ensures something for everyone. The drink menu is also extensive, featuring classic cocktails, specialty drinks, and themed St. Paddy’s beverages.

I honestly think Urban Tap has the best wings in the city. Everything else on the menu is also delicious, especially the fried cheese curds. Abby the bartender is also great. Definitely recommend this location and shadyside
