The Tap Bar and Grill

Bar and grill

😐 The tap is usually a great place to hang out. Food is good and music selection is great, specially live events. The bad side: -They ask for your fb for reservations, which they use for selection and is a poor selection method - all you can eat wings is not all you can eat. You buy the bucket and you... People often mention good, wings, music, nice, great, time, friends, staff, service, beer,

    So, I visited the place before, why should I have to reserve a table every time!!!!! And only through Facebook message? Sometimes they don't answer your messages! Place is good, fresh beer and good cocktails for groups.

The bad side: -They ask for your fb for reservations, which they use for selection and is a poor selection method - all you can eat wings is not all you can eat. You buy the bucket and you get a free refill of 12 - they told me they were fully booked...I went and spend 3 hours being the only table taken, very rude. Sadly wasn't even my first time going there and to their branches

    Booked for New Year event through Facebook (exactly as requested) and received an official confirmation 2 days later. They stopped me at the door saying "your names are not in the system". Front door hostess was childish and immature to say the least and didn't even want to look at the reservation confirmation details that THEY sent me through Facebook (with our names and everything else). Funny to know that there have been similar complaints for years now about their silly "glitch in the system".. Avoid at all costs and look elsewhere - there are much better restobars around Maadi who offer much better services.

    Amazing place to hangout with friends. The food is great and the atmosphere is really nice. The band is just freaking awesome and the staff is very friendly.

    Good music but very rude staff starting from the doormen and ending by the waiters. Had to call out for a drink 3 times from 3 different staff members and they don't even have the slightest respect to at least smile and be nice to you when you ask them for something. Instead they just have this very rude look checking you out from head to toe. Very disappointed.

    A great place to hangout with friends , but like every place in Egypt the beverages sucks and the DJ is a medicore but it was kinda interesting, the hostess is such a lovely lady , and the arcade games is a great touch to satisfy the nerd in you with classic mortal kombat game ot Street fighters

    All foods are very good except steak dish😂. My favorites are tacos, a bbq burger, a chicken burger, a mushrooms risotto. Their fires also really good. Most importantly, this place is only one place where serve “proper buffalo wings” in Egypt so far as i know. Kind and friendly staffs, and good vibes. But they won’t allow hijab here. So it’s not a perfect place to hang out with your Egyptian female friends who wear hijab. Recommend pre-reservation especially weekend and Thursday night.

    The place seems nice from the first look, it was our first time there as we tried it upon a friend's recommendation The staff were kinda nice, the table was never empty as we kept ordering, we weren't loud or anything we were minding our business but bit by bit it became uncomfortable as the hostess and one of the stuff kept come and go like if we were in a kindergarten we understood that in the beginning that they're checking if the service is okay but it became excessive, till they said since we didn't have a reservation we should leave, even though we tried to call them a lot but there was no answer, and they let us from the beginning, so it was rude and inappropriate. This was our first time in this place and for sure will be the last one.

    Lively ambience and good music though the place can get very stuffy. Also be sure to confirm about their charges. We were shocked to realize that the minimum bill is 200EGP even if the drink ordered is less than that... Since we were informed about this when we were on our way out, we had no choice but to part with extra money. Had we known about this earlier, we would have ordered for drinks worth the minimum pay.

    I went there twice and I really liked it at first, but then on my 3rd time they won't let me in without a fb reservation, i was like it alright since I was my myself. I tried to book twice for different dates they say that they're full !!!! And one time I took 5 of my friends one of them was moving out of Egypt for good, and not only they didn't let us into their empty bar, but they disrespected my friends DON'T GO THERE. there are plenty of amazing places in Cairo

    It's the oldest and the best branch of the tap by far, although not high ceiling or very well ventilated like the other branches but it's the best, the food is great especially the wings, the steak and the burgers. The service is very good and always hosting very good bands and DJ's. It's just a bit small. You can also play video games.

  • 4/5 Mohamed Tantawy (. 4 years ago on Google • 113 reviews
    One of the best bars in Cairo. Its a small cozy place where you can rock your weekends and taste mind-blowing wings.

    Food was delicious, Staff were so welcoming and the Latin night with the live band was awesome. Thank you so much Reham for making us feel so welcomed.

    Great music, beer and wings! Thursday Jazz nights are the best.

  • 4/5 Hans Heinz D. 1 year ago on Google
    Stylish, very nice atmosphere, good beers, excellent the chicken wings variety, elder people leave around 9pm,cz then the younger ones show up and the type of music changes...

  • 5/5 Pax A. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool place. Very nice music. And overall atmosphere is good... Cozy

  • 5/5 Omar S. 2 years ago on Google
    Best british bar / pub in Egypt.

  • 5/5 Alexandre F. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice restaurant / pub friendly atmosphere with lots of entertainment (video games, mini games) you can play while enjoying your drink. The food is amazing, the wings are a must try. I highly recommend this place for all those who enjoy a friendly outing with friends or family.

  • 5/5 Karim B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great vibe. Great music. Amazing chicken wings as usual

  • 2/5 Conor 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve gave this place three chances now and can confirm it’s an overpriced bar in Maadi. Staff are slow for service and it takes repeated attempts to get their attention. If you’re an expat head to the ACE club instead.

  • 4/5 Bijad 2 years ago on Google
    it's alright only because of the fact every other place in maadi is mediocre. profiling at the door, reservation required beforehand. good music though.

  • 5/5 Ahmed Z. 2 years ago on Google
    I love their chicken wings, their taste of music, although I hate their management , and I definitely hate the guy with long beard Such a nice place to go Last but not least, the welcoming is always AMAZING

  • 5/5 Patrick K. 2 years ago on Google
    Best spot for a beer and some delicious food and live music. It's a Cairo landmark.

  • 5/5 ziad a. 1 year ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Best place to go to for a drink or having a good time with friends. All tables are equipped with 32 inch screens, which is great for football matches. The vibes are amazing with the music, and all the employees are light-spirited.

  • 2/5 Ma B. 1 year ago on Google
    Alcoholprices like everywhere in Egypt. The food has prices like Hilton and the taste is just ok. Buffalo sauce for the wings isn’t a buffalo sauce at all. Chicken wings are smaller as the Burger King ones. The place was completely empty. They asked us if we have an reservation. We were the only customers. Very weird situation.

    Attended a gig that was really nice. The sound setup wasn't great and interrupted the performance a couple times. The place is a bit crammed but it was okay because it wasn't packed full of people. The staff are super nice though.

  • 3/5 Gun P. 1 year ago on Google
    I went there in the weekday evening at earlier time. There were not many people. The place looks nice. But there were no draft beers and also others like Stella and Sakkara (which are present in the nenu!) So only choice was Heineken 33 cl. And it was overpriced I think. You dont have any more choices so it was not good. May be they want you to drink a small beer and take another one. I dont like it. Also I will check late evening time with music and people to see the service inside

    The Tap maadi is always great. Best wings in town. And the music nights are wonderful. It’s only indoors though, on the contrary to tap east. That can be restricting if you don’t prefer the heavy smoking smell indoors. If they work on the ventilation the experience can be much better.

  • 3/5 Nayab N. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a nice pub with nice pub foods. Really liked the wings there but the music is too loud almost impossible to talk. They are trying to give it a club vibe for some reason but I don't think it's working. It is a bit over priced but I think that's because there are not that many pubs in Cairo. It would be great if they can turn down the volume of the music so people visiting can actually talk to each other. It would definitely make the experience better.

  • 5/5 Haytham N. 3 years ago on Google
    I do love their mood and service but kinda high prices comparing to other good places offer same service.
