Tap 24 Opens on State Street

It's sorta like a sports bar, sorta like a roadhouse, and sorta like Brick and Brew three doors down the street.  I share the latter observation as it appears this is how the design and vision came about for the newly opened Tap24 restaurant and bar on State Street. (Yes, the old site of Picasso's).  That's a smart move as Brick and Brew is packed every night and has been since it opened back in 2016.  They definitely have a winning formula and just as important, an overflow of customers.

What's different, in my opinion, is that Tap24 has a more relaxed environment, with good space, nice TV's, beer (plenty) and a welcoming atmosphere that just says, "hang out for a while and have fun."  They even have electrical outlets under the bar counter by your legs for those who have smartphone battery anxiety.  And check out the flannel attire.

I mean, what else do you need? Smartphone, beer, TVs, food and more beer.  Oh yes, there's Dom too!  The longest running bartender in Media who knows how to run a fine drinking establishment.

Ok, now for the food.  In short, it's awesome.  The fried chicken is the featured dish and comes with two sides: mac and cheese and potato salad.  They also brought back the Picasso burger(Yes!), which for those Media restaurant historians who know, was voted the best burger in town by, well, me.  I'm sure it's just as good, with other selections of sandwiches, starters, and salads.  There's a kids menu too.

Some may feel the menu is limited, but that again brings us back to the comfort setting that Tap24 has. It's a place to hang out and watch a game and not feel rushed.  The "not feel rushed" and/or "cramped" aspects are what I think are in short supply with restaurants in Media lately.

Congrats to Tap24!
