Such a fantastic new bar in Richmond! Awesome selection of craft beer and gins. Staff are always happy to recommend a drink for you. The food is also delicious! I was served by a young man named James who is a shining star and an excellent asset to the bar. Thanks to him I have found a new cider I love!
Also please get Stone & Wood Pacific ale �
Never usually write reviews, but I was so impressed with the service at the tap tavern I felt compelled to write something - I've never been to a busy pub on a Friday night and consistently been attended to and served quickly - management are generous with the amount of staff they have working at busy times and it pays! We're just around the corner so will be visiting a lot more - great work !

It's a strange thing, I lived down the road from Tap Tavern when it opened up, and I barely went in. I've moved away, but now when visiting I end up gravitating back to this place when in need of a quiet retreat away from the hoards of Ted Lasso tourists. Has the place changed? I doubt it. I was a fussy guy back when I lived in here, and was definitely guilty of the craft beer nerd cliché of assuming there's "nothing good on".
That being said, the remaining pubs in the area are mostly Fullers or Young's, so beer selection is limited, even more so now that Real Ale closed up shop in Twickenham. But coming here you've got 16 taps, a vast cocktail menu and even a couple of casks too. You'll be hard pressed to find something you won't enjoy.
Beer-wise it's not going mad for imports, hazy hype or lambics, you're not going to satisfy the most ardent beer nerds here, but to keep it relatively affordable you'll see Mondo, Siren, Deya among others. Those that are in that sweet spot of high-volume production. I dabbled in a 2% Deya Pale on this occasion, drank to the backdrop of a gormless chap on speakerphone to someone who didn't want to be video called.
Food always looks good here. I've had a few of the burgers, fries, sides, and they're all decent. The roasts fly out too, and booking is essential on weekends - we arrived here a bit before the influx of 1pm bookings hence the emptiness but nice to enjoy it while it lasted. Varied menu, veggie friendly too, and dependable quality as well based on the times I've eaten here.
Staff are always super-friendly, table service if you like, bar if you don't. I like the addition of the bar seats at one side, plus the window seating for a spot of people watching. It can get quite crowded, especially when the rugger is on. You don't have to squeeze in here though, the back room is spacious and comfortable, and there's a hidden speakeasy that's hidden from this post too (it wasn't open yet).
I used to hate going to Richmond (sometimes I still do), but I don't mind it so much now that I've rediscovered this place.

We hosted a small private party at Dropkick Jonny’s - the whiskey bar above the Tap Tavern in September and they were absolutely fantastic.
From the very beginning, Jack and Kirsty were super helpful and organised when communicating the plan and our options, offering buffet menu choices, and even curating a personalised cocktail menu for us based on our favourite drinks. We always felt we were in great hands.
The event itself was seamless. My partner was allowed to pop in earlier in the day to decorate, and when our guests arrived we were greeted with a welcome cocktail from our custom menu, with gorgeous Print outs of the menu around the room.
The atmosphere was lovely, cosy with plenty to look at, and we were able to play our own playlist. Throughout the evening we had Olly serving us and he went above and beyond all night. Always with a smile, friendly with our guests and making sure everyone got try all the different cocktails! He impressed my partner and his best friend with his whisky knowledge at the end of the night too!
The food was heavenly - again accommodations had been made just for us to make sure there was plenty to meet everyone’s dietary requirements, and there was no trouble asking for a bit extra later when everyone wanted a bit more!
Overall I can’t recommend it enough for a small event. Incredible staff, delicious drinks and top notch food. What more could you want.
Lovely bar with beautiful outdoor seating! They also show games indoors which is nice! They have some good vegan options (vegan burger and vegan wellington Sunday roast) which is good! The service is also very impeccable - the staff are very friendly :)
Great spot to drink beer - excellent selection of a variety of beers. Drinks are all quite expensive, some above the price of other local places. Food is good, tasty, comes quickly and is hot. Side chips portion is pathetically small however. Staff are always friendly and efficient. Several visits here.
Had visited this place with my friends and tried some beer. There are around 16 different varieties of beer to choose from. Have posted few clicks. Thank you!
A lovely and urban pub, 3 minutes away from Richmond Stn, that has an extensive drink menu - local beers on tap, classic cocktails and wine by the bottle and glass.
The service is really friendly though food service was a bit slow. We still enjoyed the food a lot! The food nenu has a great selection of bites to share and main. The veggie option wasn't massive but really nice options.
Overall it is a little pricey but well worth it to treat yourselves!
Really interesting upmarket urban pub in central Richmond with a huge selection of craft beers (17) and gins. You can book a table in advance and we turned up to see ours reserved with times. Beer prices are quite high so watch the bill! Menu was quite limited and we went for fish and chips. Food was good as was table service. Table service charge is discretionary and an extra 12.5% was added to our bill which was removed when we queried this.
Nice and easy pub nestled in an alley close to station. Young but happy staff around and really good selection of beers. Food was decent too. I'm pretty sure it gets busier than when I went but really don't mind recommending it even in those busy times.
Beautiful pub with the friendliest staff - Nuno and Katie have been amazing! Also, the best fish and chips I've had in the last few years in London. Highly recommended, can't wait to return.
An excellent craft beer bar, just off a main road in Richmond. Lots of great beers to choose from local breweries like Twickenham and Siren, plus a good menu of burgers etc. We visited on Easter Monday, and there was a BBQ outside cooking fantastic steak sandwiches. Looking forward to returning!
