Review Tippler's Tap - Brisbane

Bingyue Zhou (Mr Serous)
We saw that the fried chicken wings of this restaurant had a good rating so went to this restaurant mainly for the fried chicken wings but their chicken wings was not impress me maybe because we prefer Asian chicken wings korean Japanese style, however, the chicken wings are not like Asian style, so we are not used to eating them, but the fried mushrooms are delicious. The sandwiches are also delicious. Pack a fried mushroom or a sandwich and go to the park to eat and watch the river view must be very nice. The waitress is very friendly and enthusiastic, and the environment of the restaurant is also unique.We will most likely visit again on our next visit to Southbank Park
Lauren
Really enjoyed our visit - good beers, nice service and some of the best chicken wings I've had. (Minor point - the blue cheese sauce could be stronger, but that's just my opinion.)

I find my favourite fried chicken wings here, you definitely need to have a try especially if you don’t like oily chicken wings like me(it is not battered). For wings here, I can eat a lot at one time. It is also famous for its beers, people there is very nice to introduce their beers for you based on your preferences. Very nice place to chill out with your friends. There are even three “cottages” for private conversion as well. Love it!
Owen Su
Thank you for the reply, let me move that 1 star up to 2 stars. And thank you for the affirmation that your establishment is not family friendly with kids meals "all universally pretty similar". ______________ Hi Owen, It appears you had a good time, yet gave us a 1 star review because you weren’t allowed to purchase a kids meal to eat as you are an adult ? As the staff explained there are various reasons the kids meals are only for kids, such as price and stock levels. I assure you that chicken nuggets, Dagwood dogs and fish and chips are all universally pretty similar. ______________ Nice chills as always. This time on a sloppy jo! Nice to see some kids menu, but was refused when ordering it... Why should I bring my family here without trying it? This is not a usual family restaurant, why should my kids come enjoy sitting around adults have a few beer, if the kid menu was not great?

I love tippler's tippity tap tap also such a cute name also the burgers here might be my favorite thus far in Brisbane but also I haven't had that many burgers in my lifetime but there is something just fantastic about this place. Service is super fast and the drinks selection is fantastic. I like it.

Gosh, everything about Tippler's Tap is great. The service was friendly, food was so good, and the beers were fabulous. We sat in one of the little booths, which was super comfortable, and had really good noise reduction.
Ian Norris
Tippler's Tap is an exceptional dining experience. Their great range of fast and delicious food is an experience to remember, well cooked and well presented, and very reasonably priced. They also have a fantastic range of boutique beers and ales, to tempt your tastebuds. I highly recommend Tippler's Tap in Southbank for a great feed and a quiet drink.

Unfortunately the lady serving was absolutely obnoxious. My wife and our friends we’re gobsmacked when we were told to hurry up and order while we were looking through the great range of beers served here. I then asked what size a pony beer was when the lady again was abrupt and rude. We were the only patrons at this time 7:30 on a Thursday night. She then continued to shake her head at us and mutter under her breath as we looked through the selection of drinks after we were served. We loved the look of this place, the music being played and what could’ve been a great evening there. I would give it another chance if I saw someone else serving - she was that rude she has won this place 1 star. Paying good money for poor service is annoying. 1 star! Nick
Sam Thwaites
Love the wings they offer and a range of different wing sauces to go with it. Awesome beers on tap, some of which I have not found anywhere else!

One of the best bar in South Bank. Located at the opposite of the cinema, Tippler's Tap has a unique outside seating area that is shaped like a house.<br/><br/>They offer various beers on taps, as well as gin & tonic. Ordered the tasting plate for drinks, which consisted of 5 beers of your choice. The pricing was rather cheap, especially during Sunday happy hours. For the food, ordered the deep fried crumbed calamari, mushroom, and chicken wing. All of these tasted really great, not too salty, not too greasy, and paired up with amazing sauces.<br/><br/>Would definitely come back here when I'm around the area.
Steve Smith
eaten here a couple of times, drunk here more than a couple :P it's a nice little place where the staff are generally friendly, and the beer selection decent. unfortunately there's not too much in the way of ciders, but alas, we can't have everything, i haven't tried the food in a while so it might be unfair to leave a food review as things might have changed, the food was just "ok" the last time i decided to eat there, a bit overpriced for what it was (sliders, wings and crumbed mushrooms) which tasted fine after a few drinks but nothing to write home about,  but to be fair i'll have to go back and see what they've got in the way of food now, as the last few times i've just been drinking.
_kreativecakes
Excellent service. We walked in and straight away the staff member greeted us and started talking to us about his beer selections on tap. We gave us samples to try before we actually bought. He had excellent knowledge of his beers. Loved the vibe. Cute bar on the main street to many restaurants. Will definitely be back to try the other beers on tap.
Ryan McKechnie
Got an Italian beef, but they don't know what one is I got salami and silverside on a roll.... Not happy guys<br/><br/>An Italian beef, should be beef soaked in beef jus, served on a roll maybe also dipped in, and with peppers<br/>
JourneywithMim
I love beer and I love tipplers. This place always has a good variety of craft beers and keeps up to date with the latest craft beers and makes sure they are on tap for everyone to drink.<br/><br/>Good vibe, staff are always friendly. If you want to try a craft beer or 10 this is the spot!
Benji
Great burgers and hot dogs, the onion rings are very well made also! I ordered the Southside Baby burger which came with two beef patties, cheese, pickles and mustard. The meat was cooked medium well done so of you don't like red in your beef make sure you ask to have your patties cooked well done. My partner ordered the Francheezie Dog and the combination of the bacon, relish, cheese and cucumber worked well. It also comes with a pickled chilli if you are game enough to try your resilience to heat! Make sure you order a side or basket of onion rings! Best onion rings I've had in town!
Supriya Shukla
Great staff. Super friendly and attentive. Got the wings and onion rings and a drink. Very good value for what you get and the location. Delicious blue cheese sauce! Only sad part: they only do dry drub wings and not buffalo, it would be swell if they did both!
Aishah
Saw good reviews and decided to give them a try. Amazing customer service and great food - big portions too! The food took a while to come out but to be fair we did come during peak hour. Highly recommend!
Disillusionist
Great range of craft beers and a lesser variety of wine (which is fair enough being a beer focussed bar). Drink prices are on the expensive side (think $11+ for a pint).  They used to have a great selection of hot sauces to go with your mostly American influenced menu, although now there is only Tabasco (boring).  Food is usually fairly good but is variable. Today was a basic cheeseburger with a stale bun and a half sized patty for $12. Wasn't too impressed.  Wings can be very good if not overcooked, but seems the case that they are too dry half the time.
Shaun
Great food great wait times and always provides what you ask for, I highly recommend tipplers to anyone and every friend. Unlike Annerley Fish and chips
No Name Required
Busy, good vibe and laid back....that was my experience at Tipplers Tap. As it was Wednesday I ordered the ribs and were they great! Tender, fall off the bone and plenty of flavour - very impressive. Good selection of beers however, my only complaint is that the service is VERY slow. The set up isn't perfect for a seamless experience. That's why I can only give it a 3.
Gabby Appo
Friendly service. Ordered the Chicago dog, chilli dog, fried pickles and chili fries. All was delicious and plenty for two. Loved the fried pickle. The pale ale had a fruity flavor which i enjoyed.<br/>Would definitely recommend.
Sam Wu
The lady was extremely nice. Food was great and drinks were excellent. Overall a great place for a night out and could not recommend more. Will definitely be back
Karan Rawat
Amazing vibe to the place that is located on the main Street of Southbank. Had heard a lot about the craft beers. and gave it a try on a weekday.<br/>The place was quite happening for a Thursday night, music was not loud and just the way I like it.<br/>I ordered the stout offered on tap and the apple cider along with the onion rings. Would love to try out more from their food menu the next time I visit.<br/>Great place for Beer and finger food.<br/>
Angehaha
The rating has come down to service - which was appalling. Would not go back. <br/><br/>Even though the food was okay - not great or anything worth putting up with shocking service. <br/><br/>We were standing at the bar waiting to be served, looking right at the male and female waitress and they continued to talk amongst themselves. No acknowledgment until we said ‘hello?’ <br/>The lady seemed arrogant too. <br/><br/>As above, food was okay. Not many food choices on the menu.
CJ Brisbane
Stopped by here for a drink and was pretty impressed with my experience. If you like you brews this place has a large range of unique beers. The lady serving was able to suggest some of the popular drinks amd i was happy with these suggestions. I had to have something to eat with my beers so i got some deep fried pickes which went perfectly with my drink. Look forward to coming back and trying more beers and other food on the menu.
Sepp
Not the best tacos in the world, but great value and quality for $2 each. Plus delicious sides of crumbed mushrooms and onion rings make a great $10 meal. Which means that you can spend the rest of your $ on yummy beers!
Charlie Jenn Lian Ng
Worst meal I've had. Ordered for the whole family. Most striking was the pork sausage and a plain bun with literally two pieces of capsicum for 15 dollars.<br/>The rest was not worth a mention.
Maeve33
Nice place. Staff were nice. They were busy the night I went and the service was reasonably fast. I had the halloumi slider and it was great! It was so so flavoursome and the halloumi was cooked beautifully. Would go back just to have that slider again!
Sarahriche01
Sunday Lunch or lack thereof.. We were greeted by expressionless stares from staff, there wasn't even a hint of a smile insight. Feeling as if we were inconveniencing the staff by forcing them to do something other than blankly stare into the distance from their spot behind the bar. Waited up to an hour for food that never arrived whilst everyone around us had almost finished their meals. <br/>Although we were the first to place an order. As we left we could hear other diners complaining to servers. It's unfortunate because employees can make or break a business.
Josh Watson
I agree with Lananana. I had heard and read good things about this place. My $16 burger was more at home at a volunteer appreciation feed! The roll could have been from Coles and wasn't toasted. The patty was nice but everything else didn't go close to the asking price. My wife and I also shared the pork and chicken sliders. The rolls were dry, the meat cold and completely tasteless. The only saving grace is that I can now tick this off as never to return.
Carolyn Jordan
great chicken wings. different seating areas for all needs. order at the counter food delivered. lots of beers on tap. clean area no music but traffic is entertaining.
Sami Razavi
Ordered American cheeseburger, Grilled chicken slider 🍔 , cheese burger slider, Trippler's chicken wings and fries; Generous portion 👌🏼👌🏼definitely going back. ✅Lovely staffs
Foodie
FOOD 3.5<br/>SERVICE 3.5<br/>AMBIENCE 3.5<br/><br/>Stumbled across this place, they have cosy cabins on the outside to sit. The craft beers are great and with the good food, they complement each other well. The sliders were good, however on this occasion the bun was a tad bit dried out. The hot dog was done well.<br/><br/>Overall would come back to this place again and try other menu items as well.<br/><br/>
Aaron O
Dropped in for a few events recently including the Mead one. Service is friendly and the beer choice is always great. I still miss some of the old items from Tomahawks menu though.
Memo
Tippler's used to be better a long time ago when they were still in Teneriffe. It probably comes down to taste preferences. I remembered the first 2 times I went back in around 2012, the chicken was actually spicy.<br/><br/>The good thing about Tippler's today is the consistency and the craft beer available to pair with the food. The service is always top notch and the value of the food is still great (we weren't going to get 1kg wings for 10 dollars forever!)<br/><br/>*****<br/>Take note that this is of course all based on my unqualified opinion!<br/><br/>My considerations: 1. Food 2. Value 3. Service 4. Atmosphere
Kan Do
Tried out the chicken wings and kidney beans salad here, both were okay but I can't say I was impressed. Perhaps worth another visit to try some of the other items. Southbank, as always, an excellent location.
Mathew Mount
Great location with excellent home brewed beer. Paid $14 for a Rib roll that tasted great and was well portioned. Staff helpful and friendly. Would recommend.
Jess
Awesome selection of beers! They let you try before you buy which is very helpful. Food is American style - ribs were tender and flavourful, burgers tasty. Large portions, we probably didn't need the sides we ordered! Reasonable priced food, particularly the specials.
Lauren
The Chicago style food is incredible. Took my husband and I back to the state for the night. The beer and cider menu is awesome. Definitely worth a try!
Robust Eater
Yes it had lovely beers and wife enjoyed the wine, but the food let me down. Had cheese burger, nothing special wife had Italian hot roll, again nothing to write home about, pickled vegetables made roll soggy. And realy quite bland. The chicken wings were dry rubed and sadly lacked any moisture to help enhance the flavors, so very boring. The high point was the chips. But do you go to a place for chips. $80. 00 later. I'll not return.
Mohammed Altaaf Sharif
Ever changing selection of tap beers, and an even wider selection of bottled beers.  Staff are friendly and very knowledgeable  -they can describe the beers to you and will give you a taste if you need help making up your mind.  Great atmosphere, and very tasty reasonably priced food.
Serene
This is where to go for nice American food at a reasonable price. I quite enjoyed my food and the whole experience. It's probably a good idea to go before 1900 - that's when customers rush in. I was lucky enough to secure a spot at around 1800. Would be back again.
More Spice
Even though it's moved I'm glad it's still the same. I thought this place was related to tomahawk so unsure why they changed names. Regardless, both are great. Superb beer and bar food. That vego chilli is amaze
Ai Ng
Nice selection of bar foods at surprisingly affordable prices! You can't go paste the thick cut onion rings and the chicken wings! Although I enjoyed their first joint more, Southbank Tippler's tap has now become one of my locals.
Lananana
We loved Tipplers Tap<br/>in New Farm when it first opened so I was excited to see it was now at Southbank. Unfortunately the food is nothing like it was. Tasteless to say the least. No one at our table came close to finishing their meals and I'm actually surprised it has so many positive reviews..Makes me think there must be a lot of "insiders" reviewing because the food is pretty terrible.
GOODEATSGUIDE! James Thompsons
$2 Tacos and craft beer every Tuesday night🌮<br/>with cards against humanity. <br/>This the spot to go in Southbank. <br/>So many delicious beers served up by knowledgeable friendly keep, great vibe and American style grub.
DRJ
Efficient service. Good was fine. Our table of 5 had the mini sliders, fries and Chicago dog. Wasn't fussed on the hot dog. Best slider was the cheeseburger. Fries were divine and also the wings (which we didn't have but could smell and see at the next table). Good place to go for a beer and snacks.
Ballin
Heard good things about this place and went to see what the fuss was about.<br/>Ordered Chicago dog, spicy wings, fries, onion rings and of course obligatory beers. <br/>Highlight was a dead heat between the Chicago dog and the wings - both were amazing. Really happy that the Chicago dog was authentic and had great presentation.<br/>
Emma
My my. Nothing like earnest bearded chaps tenderly meeting your beer needs to make you feel like ordering a range of bar good. <br/><br/>Suggest deferring dinner plans and just overordering from the bar menu. Pulled pork slider? In my mouth thanks. fried mushrooms? You're in trouble my crispy little friends. <br/><br/>*belch*
Aoife
I love this place, brilliant beer selection, there are always several I want to try and the food is awesome. I am especially fond of the onion rings,you could crack a tooth the batter is so crispy, just how I like it. Love that they have moved closer to my work :-)
Ben Collins
Not much of a beer drinker, but the food is fantastic. Used to come by all the time when I worked nearby.<br/><br/>Big fan of the chilli fries and wings myself, and the venue is great too!<br/><br/>Also, Pinball!
Table For 3 Thanks
Tipplers Tap is located on Masters St in Newstead – just a few streets behind the Gasworks precinct.  This area has really changed over the past few years – and it is definitely for the better.  The entrance is unassuming and looks much like a local coffee shop.  Once inside you walk past the kitchen into a wondrous cavern beyond filled with local beers, chic booths and funky tunes.
EmilinaMay
Awesome wings 1kg for $10.00 how can you beat that? Awesome hot dogs that taste list twisties. Only thing that could be improved is service.
Piffthemagicdragon
The $10 chicken wings were quality and the sheer quantity was amazing. The bbq brisket bun was filling (there was so much beef and toppings in the bun that you really needed to clamp down on the meal). Cool vibe too.
Misscharlot
$10 for a basket of Chicken wings (1kg) and comes with the blue cheese sauce. perfect for a Friday night with beers or maybe lots of beers. been coming back for the wings and chilli fries so this time we have tried one more dish which is the pulled pork roll, glad we have ordered it, love it to the max.
Monica Sottile
I went to Tippler's for the first time a few weeks ago and shared some sliders, wings and chilli cheese fries. The chips were good and the sliders were very nice - the pork belly burger being the most impressive looking but hardest to eat. The wings were really crunchy and zesty and the beers were fragrant. good stuff.
Suzy Seychell
Goodness me they're not short on the portions! We ordered wings, fries and nanas 's chilli between two of us and it was way too much food! The wings had a dry rub that was delicious, can't quite put my finger on what the spices were. I counted at least 16 wings for the bargain price of $10!! The chilli fries were good and nanas chilli we will be taking home to have for lunch tomorrow!<br/>There's not much of a wine list but a wide selection of beers so if you like good beer and generous tasty food this place is for you :-)<br/>The lighting is a little reminiscent of a chalet buffet and could be 30% dimmer to improve the mood.
The Invisible Food Critic
Another review lost during transition between urbanspoon and zomato! Absolutely love this place. Small little street front expanding into a den of exciting foods and drinks. Love their large range of drinks and tasty foods! I rate this place 8.5/10 for excellent hideout.
Baby Beets
Have been here a few times. Last time had the New Menu. The New Menu is the old menu with price hikes and a few added extras. Now $12 for wings, $7 or $8 for corn (not as nice either, comes with less toppings) and sliders have no 3 for $15 I think it was. They are all to be paid separately. <br/><br/>New addition we tried was the beef sandwich massive, but for $16 you'd hope it would be! Comes with no sides, just a lot of beef in a long roll. <br/><br/>Tried the fries - very salty. <br/><br/>When we go back it'll just be wings for us from now on. <br/><br/>
Allie Broughton
Cool place to go with a group and for the beer, but the food is just OK. If you're going for the food alone, I probably wouldn't bother. Pork slider is super sweet, haloumi burger is sooo salty, and the chilli fries are not fries and no chilli. It's not bad, but there's better places if you enjoy good food.
Transmission
Better than a five star restaurant. Tippler's tap has the best sliders (mini burgers) in the Southern Hemisphere, and I have tried them all. I am a professional specialist hamburger reviewer. The chicken wings are the bargain of the year too.
Level-headed
Great American Diner style food. Big selection of beers - only criticism is that they don't have any 'run of the mill' beers so if you want to have a session you'll pay a fortune. Great spot for hearty food and a couple of beers
Yogi_bear
NOT YOGA-LATES FRIENDLY. Came with the yoga-lates crew as had herd it was the best yoga-lates in town. Had a nice beers, but the yoga-lates was not as zen as we were told. Please pick up ur yoga-lates game.<br/><br/>#scratchvstipplers
Scubasteve
NOT SCUBA FRIENDLY. Really wanted to scuba as had herd it was a good dive bar but the scuba wasnt nearly good as had been expecting.<br/><br/>Please Pick up your scuba game<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>#scratchvstipplers
Nutty
Good vibe. Great collection of craft beers and beers from all around the world. Good pub grub to go with it.
Mr Scotch
One of Brisbane's best. What is there to say? They have awesome cheap food and pinball.<br/><br/>Its a winner.
Chopsuidaho
Best Tap House in Brisbane. The beers are constantly changing with the huge variety ranging from hoppy to malty. The food is cheap and tasty but has been known to lead to extended sessions when the original intent was 1, maybe 2, pints. It just makes you want to drink more beer.
Yumosumo
You get wat u pay for.. Quick n cheap average food. No complaints but not raving bout it either
Matt
The atmosphere, drinks and staff were nice, however the attempt at "chilli" Fries was very disappointing, as was how "mini" the sliders were (though I did enjoy the taste)
Betty & Jason
Always my go to for homey meaty dishes with a bang of flavour!
Homerofbrisbane
Tippler's Tap. I just wish I had two stomachs. Need more room for the wings, the sliders and the onion rings! Coupled with boutique beers - what's not to like?
Maddyparker7
Sliders. Cute and tastes amazing!
Mattywii
Pork Belly Slider. Great food, great beers, great atmosphere. And the pork belly slider is amazing!
Brendanjlee
Great beer, reasonable prices, great atmosphere. Came here on a bucks night and were lucky enough to get 2 tables (it was pretty full). Stayed 2 hours, ate many pleasurable things - The wings are AWESOME. Their beers are also absolutely fantastic.<br/>Will be back.
Sarah 'Sez' Moroney
Best Beef Brisket Burger ever!!!
Usstablum
Great for lunch. My husband and I went there for some lunch and had the chicken wings and onion rings. We left feeling very satisfied. The decor is quirky and we enjoyed the experience. Staff were friendly too.
Cookiea_77
Mouth watering food!!. My husband and I ate there on Saturday night. We love American food and this place delivered. The brisket was awesome as were the chili cheese fries. I would say the brisket was better then what we had in the States. Am definitely going to try the chicken wings next time. The food came out pretty quick and the waiter was really helpful and asked if we enjoyed our meal. The lady behind the bar let me sample a couple of beers before making my decision which was great as I was only going to have one. The drinks were a little pricey but weigh that up with how cheap the food was you still come out on top. It was a really nice casual environment and a place I will be going back to again.
RennyMac
Really friendly staff, best brisket roll I've ever had (mouth-wateringly delicious with coriander, yum!), chips great, slider great and chicken wings great. Fantastic atmosphere and yummy beer. Finally found a place that is great value and tasty!
Pretzelinspector
Beer and wings with m8s can't be beat. $10 for a kilo of wings is a perfect accompaniment for the large selection of beers. The staff are passionate about their brews and the mushroom and haloumi, beetroot sliders are the perfect combo of flavours. Although the wings are generally dry and average I have zero complaints for that budget price, the friendly staff, great atmosphere and the speedy service. Nice sitting on the cushions out the front when the sun is out in Teneriffe or sitting in the cosy cabin portion of the bar with the tacky/wonderful mountain mural when it's cold.
BrisFoodie10
Can't beat a kilo of chicken wings for $10. Not the best around but good enough when they're that cheap! Need to improve their selection of ciders.
Luke
Friendly service, Sliders were really good! Loved the beer selection!! Will def be back...soon!
Foodieinheels
Whilst the chicken wings were quite average in flavour, you really can't complain when it's ten bucks for a kilo of them! Beer selection great, but would like to see more ciders (particularly sweeter ones like Rekordelig or Somersby). Otherwise good service and ambience - we'll be back for another Sunday sesh :)
Starsk
Great little place with good reasonably priced food and a diverse turnover of different beers on tap. <br/><br/>The only downside is it's so packed tables are limited. It's well worth the wait though!!! <br/><br/>Good job Tipplers Tap!
Linda Hennessy
Great drinks, great prices and the sliders are amazing! Very cool little place.
Pokethebear
FANTASTIC. Guys keep up the awasome food and those crafty beers
Atreyu
Tippler's Tap - Teneriffe, Brisbane. Often hearing about this and trying to picture the location, I would never have thought that it would be located where it is. Tippler's Tap is right in one of the side streets in the upper north, surrounding by residential apartments and industrial work sites; in fact, the brewery is so low-key that it is easy to drive by without any notice. One night, I went as part of a group of four to try this place out; my brother-in-law planned on meeting his friend up in Brisbane, and he had been there before knowing how good it is thus recommending it. Factor in that it is American cuisine we are talking about, and the other half being me and my dining buddy were happy to come along. <br/><br/>This place was particularly chosen, since the ribs are only served on Wednesdays which was the day that my brother-in-law happened to be up. Many other people were getting that same idea. These ribs are just not any other ribs. They are actually cooked in beer. Speaking of which..... <br/><br/>Beer lovers are in for a treat. At any one time, there is an offering of eleven different types of beer on tap with dozens more bottled including cider and wine options. While the guys I was with certainly partook in trying a couple of varieties, I did not - I am, by choice, a non-drinker. These are not just any sort of regular beers though, there is a collection from around the country and even going international. There is at least that to recommend without any resolving bias. <br/><br/>As for the food, the cuisine that was being aimed at certainly seems to be American. Even the way it is presented is reminiscent of the American diners. Each order comes in the brightly coloured baskets; we are talking finger food here. Nothing here peaks above $15-20, which is a good budget because you could feed a football team on a budget with the menu. This place is not really a tapas-style eatery; a couple of menu items can create a simple & wholesome meal. Plates might be a bit of an issue when sharing; after a bit of rearranging some spare baskets managed to be used for the scraps. <br/><br/>The setting is relaxed and low-key, the kind which is great for catch-ups with friends and/or colleagues. It seems to have been fitted of out an old house, many renovations made to the place maximising an alfresco atmosphere. Apparently, there is quite a bit on the inside but I never ventured past the front dining area. So, the most effective I can sum up the vibe of where I was is that it is like the porch of a cabin (albeit urbanly displaced). This place stands alone as far as a bar goes, thus one anti-recommendation is anyone who wants to do a pub crawl involving here. <br/><br/>The waitress serving us was really friendly, and in part because of my infatuation with American food, culture and people was really appealing because I could detect her accent was American as such. Plenty of food was being brought out with a smile. <br/><br/>In hindsight, and it tends to be a male thing to do, the four of us probably ordered way too much. The first example is that no-one thought or considered that the ribs would be served with a side of fries. That would make sense come to think about it. The food orders were as such: three people ordered ribs, and one (me) ordered the chicken wings. For sides, there was one of fries, two of onion rings, and one of corn. <br/><br/>There was not anything really wrong with the food. Everything was basically scrumptious and really filling. The ribs are massive and tender, with a moderate amount of sauce on them. Sometimes the meat can be pulled right off the bone and other times not so much; basically, it has the erratic nature of eating ribs which makes it all the more fun. <br/><br/>Now, if you can remember from Chinese restaurants how they generally do salt and pepper squid, then that is the best way to describe how the chicken wings are presented. One kilogram of these suckers were served in a basket, all for only $10. The wings are really big, they also have a lot of meat on them and are tangy from the pepper coating. The obligatory blue cheese sauce is served on the side with them. They were succulent and juicy, even the crumbs that fell into the bottom of the basket were not ignored. <br/><br/>Having to decide between fries and onion rings has got to be one of the hardest culinary challenges that exists. This is especially so done in the American style, and Tippler's Tap from experience it is as such. You have beer battered fries, and the onion rings are panko crumbed and giant, both well on offer. These were nothing sort of tasty, scrumptious even. The fries are served with ailoi and the onion rings come on their own, that sounds about right. <br/><br/>Lastly was the corn, sort of a black sheep in some ways. There are a few aspects to laud about it nevertheless. It is dusted with a smoky marsala that includes paprika and cumin, a few jalapeno are placed on top and a bit of cabbage. The corn in itself retains a smoky flavour, and was juicy and sweet. Again, the serving is considerable and might have been the one healthy aspect of the entire range of items ordered for the meal.<br/><br/>Meeting with a friend would be the perfect gambit to try this place out, beer drinker or otherwise. In an age where lots of places are trying to look unique, and ironically a lot end up looking similar to each other, this can still have that word attributed to it. It has a laid-back ambiance, is in a side street for the feel of a quiet place and provides a good array of American food - some of which is difficult to find elsewhere in the city. It is safe to say that we are on to a winner here.
Ken Kramme
A lively time with great selection of beer and good finger foods including the buffalo wings with blue cheese and sesame dip.
AM
Awesome place!. We love it here!!! Awesome place for a chilled out beer and some food!!
Jess May
Friendly warning to vegetarians and vegans: the "vegetarian" chilli fries contain beef fat. The onion rings contain milk.
BrisReviewer
AWESOME!. If you like beer this is the place for you!<br/>$10 chicken wings! <br/>awesome american style food!<br/><br/>if you dont like beer there are also some wines available.<br/><br/>My suggestion if you come here on a friday afternoon is to get in early, seating goes quickly and people are hawks for a seat!
Sarahlovesfood
Great service, beers and food - try the chicken wings with blue cheese sauce - amazing!!

Absolutely loved Tippler's Tap. Even on a Saturday night we were seated quickly, and the service staff were very friendly in explaining everything as this was our first time here. Ordered chilli cheese fries which they could not only made vegetarian, but also vegan. Such an option is greatly appreciated! Also ordered some siders and tried two different types of ciders both of which were lovely. Food came out quickly even with a large group occupying most of the seating area, and overall was a great night out. Would definitely recommend to my friends. Thank you Tippler's Tap!

The food at this place was very salty. The spicy chicken wings had a powdery texture and was also very salty. The only good food was the rueben sandwich and the sliders (needs more beef patty in the beef sliders).

Humble Man’s Dream. I have been known to enjoy the odd Americana style meal every now and then / every other day, so when the little lady and I were recommended to give this place a go I didn't take all that much convincing. If you didn't know the address or weren't looking for it, chances are you would drive straight past, as it is that sheltered and unassuming from the street. I think this only added to the charm of the venue. Clearly designed to complement what is an expansive craft beer selection, the food menu does offer quite a varied and interesting range to cater for many tastes. After a relatively short deliberation it seemed we were on the same page and so ordered the following: Slider Burger Mixed Combo (5 sliders), Corn on Cob, Chilli Fries. As a simple man who enjoys simple yet delicious things, the meal ticked all the boxes and then some. From the cheeky spice of the fries to the mouth-watering deliciousness of the range of sliders I had the pleasure of devouring, it was simply put, a humble man’s dream. The only awkwardness we encountered throughout the whole meal was when I realized that I had indeed peaked too early as I had already put away my allocated two and a half sliders whilst she decided the best strategy was to save the best one till last (half a pulled pork & coleslaw slider). After what felt like an eternity, I managed to stare at the homeless little pulled pork slider long enough for her to feel uncomfortable......may have also helped that I left it on my plate. And so, I managed to increase my quota of sliders to three...... and as such declared the meal a victory. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. Great food, an absolutely HUGE range of beer, and fantastic customer service. Love it!

Great beers, bad food! The choice of craft beers is awesome but food is overpriced and mediocre. We went on sat and the burger buns were stale and the veggie chilli was unbearably hot!

Nice place to have a beer and some snacks. Ordered the wings and onion rings. They weren't bad. Buffalo wings were probably a bit too salty. The sauce that accompanied this dish was too watery and tasteless. <br/><br/>The onion rings were massive. Several rings stuck together in the batter. I think they need to add a bit more salt to the batter to something to accentuate the taste..<br/><br/>Overall I rate 7/10 but overall I like the service. People were nice atmosphere not bad. Clean and welcoming.

Wish this place was around when I lived next door. Revisited the old Hood upon hearing about this establishment... and it delivers true to the word of mouth. Great choice of craft beers, national and international. The staff are knowledgeable too which is refreshing. Got stuck into the kilo chicken wings with endless beers... comatosed with delight. They even have an old school pinny which I thrashed about for a few gold coins.. great lil boutique bar that you will fall in love with.

Plenty of beer!. Have been wanting to try this place for a while, mainly to check out the extensive range if beers. Decided to nip in to try some beer and a bite to eat as after checking out the menu it looked just the kind of thing we were after. <br/>It was really busy with no spare tables when we arrived, ordered a couple of beers and a tablewas free about ten minutes later. Decided on some sliders to share...<br/>Mmm! All three flavours were really tasty and could decide which was the best!<br/>Good food, good value too and great choice of beers.

First visit and waited for a table for 7 people. That took about 20 minutes on a busy Friday night which is fine. Only 6 of us arrived at the time and they sat us down on our table which is great. Our last friend who arrived 10 minutes late was not allowed into the door despite we had a table inside and was made to line up at the very back of the line because the waitress at the door said they are at full capacity inside. But we already have a table for 7 inside.... REALLY? Our group immediately packed our stuff and left :(

Excellent Everything! Turned up middle of a Thursday afternoon 6 Brits dressed in lions jerseys, pith helmets and wallaby skins - none of locals blinked an eye and yes there were several in the bar at that time! Great food but even better beer - first class!
