Tap Tavern, Richmond

The 'Tap' is hidden away off the main road from Richmond's shoppers and is just a few minutes walk from the Rail Station via a pedestrian path called Waterloo Place. After a major rework from what was the Richmond Arms, it reopened in July 2017, and a welcome addition to the area. It can now be best described a a modern city bar. Three hand-pumps serving cask ale are complemented by seventeen numbered 'craft' keg taps behind the bar. A comprehensive beer (inc some cider) list can be found giving details and prices. There is also a list of spirits with 25 gins to choose from. 25ml measures served as standard. Wine is also available. A modest selection of food is served until 10pm. The main bar area is extended into a more secluded and pleasant windowless back room. A food-lift is employed to bring orders down to the bar. Toilets are located upstairs, but there is an accessible loo on the ground floor. A small number of tables and chairs are provided outside. (Dec 2021)
