    Owner was very friendly, the patrons we're all friendly and having a good time, there was no drama. They have pool table dart board, volleyball court, bags, and the video gaming. The drinks were cold the people are friendly and it was all around great experience. Would recommend going there and having a cold one

    We went to cottage tap for the first time. We meet the new owner Steve who is a great guy. The place including the bathrooms were clean and well organize. Drinks are well portion and prices are very good. Definitely just found out little get away place and will be coming back soon and planning to introduce this place to family and friends. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. 100% recommend this place.
