Tap a Keg
A Hell of a Joint
The Upper West Side keeps getting shinier. We did not get the memo. Dim room, worn-in stools, neon in the window, a pool table in the back that actually gets used. Bartenders pour without a speech. Regulars treat the rail like a living room.
Open daily noon–4:00 AM
Happy hour noon–7:00 PM · $1 off drinks
League night Tuesdays · 7:00 PM
The clock
Noon to 4am
Every day of the week.
Happy hour runs from the moment we open until 7.
On the rail
Pool, darts, jukebox
Free popcorn. Bring a slice from down the block if you want. Dogs wander in. Nobody’s mixing a lavender cocktail.
The joint
Why the lights stay on
A true UWS dive, complete with stiff pours, neon signs, and a room that feels like living history. It’s a joint where old school legends, lifetime locals, and even the occasional hustler banter over bowls of popcorn. New York Magazine called it “A clubhouse.” And that’s exactly the idea!
The bar is open. Call (212) 749-1734 or write info@tapakeg.nyc.
What people write
From the neighborhood
Pulled from the maps listing and the writeups that keep pointing at the same room.
“I visit from Tennessee every year. Always get into a great pool game. Very friendly fun crowd.”
“Always love coming here and the staff makes me feel like home.”
“Tap a Keg is undeniably a dive, but it’s got more character than the neon beer signs on display there.”
“One of the last true dives in the neighborhood. Dim lights, cheap drinks, no pretense.”
A bartender calls the regulars “the pensioners.” You might also get a pool hustler, a Columbia grad on free popcorn, or a slice from Mama’s Too.
“Tap A Keg! …still One Hell of a joint!”
Tuesday night
