[CLOSED] TAP Craft Beer Bar (Raffles City)

Known for their wide selection of craft beers, I have been to this chain of outlets many times for their beer. Finally tried their food and sadly I was rather disappointed. The Sausage Platter ($32) was probably the only one that was worth sharing and pairing with the drinks. Most sausages were great and it came with a variety of sides. This would be great for 4! Tried the pastas but they were overcooked and was nothing much to shout out. Still, it's a bar and the craft beer selections are still great!

This is one of the newer Tap outlets and it is very popular because it is within walking distance from City Hall MRT station. Today, we tried the Lost Coast Peanut Butter Choco Stout, which was a really interesting flavour as you could really taste a strong hint of peanut butter. The taste of chocolate was honestly not as strong though, but just the peanut butter notes already make for a pretty interesting touch.

For those who are after interesting craft beer flavours, please do give this a try if you see it on the menu, as it is not always available at Tap! For $10++, Tap is one of the most affordable craft beer bars in Singapore.

That being sad, we were not very pleased as the staff took 10 to 15 minutes to serve the beer as they forgot our order. Just to highlight, this was on a Tuesday, when the bar wasn't so busy. Hence, you might have to be prepared for this to happen on Fridays and the weekends. 😑

Love the plentiful crispy bacon they add into the truffle egg pasta, and it does not taste as heavy as many other places. Thumbs up to the chef! Seafood pasta was not bad as well.

Quite liked this despite the other reviews. I guess they're not consistent. There really is too much rice compared to the beef though.

The rice bowls has little meat but taste-wise not bad. It just makes the meal look a little sad. Also tried the carbonara (didnt take a picture), pasta is a lot better tasting. Beer/ale was good. Chill place for a catchup with friends.

Baked pasta usually conveys images of hot melted stretchy cheese oozing over your pasta. Often, the cheese is even bubbling over your plate because of its nice semi liquid texture.

We got none of that here. The cheese wasnt melted fully, perhaps because our pasta was actually cold. Pasta was an extreme version of al dente as it undercooked too.

Mine wasnt the only unlucky one since 2 of my other companions received cold pasta as well.

And the sauce seemed to be a regular brown sauce which was pretty generic.

At least the service staff was nice enough to immediately offer to replace our pastas.
