\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you been to the Tap Shack<\/a>\u00a0yet?\u00a0 It’s in Newport Beach where The Arches<\/a> once occupied and has only been open a couple months.\u00a0 I miss\u00a0The Arches, but appreciate many aspects of the Tap Shack.\u00a0 Starting off, any spot with an outdoor patio is\u00a0a winner to me.\u00a0 Crab Cake?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Tap Shack NB<\/strong>\u00a0takes advantage of the large patio\u00a0and cues from the Tap House\u00a0HB<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The MENU<\/a> impressed me secondly.\u00a0 It’s sophisticated and extensive — I wanted everything.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We tried (top down) the Golden Crab Cakes, Grilled Artichoke and Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dispense\u00a0Beer from 1 (or more) of 8 self-pouring taps — It’s one of the coolest things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You’re given a Beer\u00a0key which activates\u00a0the tap and charges per ounce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You don’t have to wait for a Beer here — We like that, unless there’s a long line. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Tap Shack Newport Beach joins in on the Taco Tuesday offerings\u00a0with $1.50 Tacos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And during Happy Hour<\/a> all appetizers are 50% off — It’s the best time to try a lot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All\u00a0appetizers (as listed) appeal to me —\u00a0The Taphouse Prime Sliders are pictured above.\u00a0 They were my friend’s favorite and I liked the Grilled Artichoke best, though it could’ve been cooked a little longer.\u00a0 We highly value the portion sizes, but\u00a0the unclaimed favorites seemed bland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I don’t care\u00a0what some people say about it, I like the Lobster Zone Game<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Catch a Lobster and they’ll cook it for you — $2.00 to play.\u00a0 Different to see and amusing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Self-pouring Beer taps are\u00a0inside\u00a0and out — Where’s our server?\u00a0 Wait…\u00a0Ta daaa!\u00a0 Awesome.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Tap Shack NB<\/a> is a fine sports and entertainment option\u00a0in the neighborhood.\u00a0 Just overlook the typos on the menu (or laugh at them) and commend the otherwise refined, lengthy\u00a0selection.\u00a0 There’s much more that sounds good to try.\u00a0 We’ll go back to the shack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
