Such a fantastic new bar in Richmond! Awesome selection of craft beer and gins. Staff are always happy to recommend a drink for you. The food is also delicious! I was served by a young man named James who is a shining star and an excellent asset to the bar. Thanks to him I have found a new cider I love!
Also please get Stone & Wood Pacific ale �
Never usually write reviews, but I was so impressed with the service at the tap tavern I felt compelled to write something - I've never been to a busy pub on a Friday night and consistently been attended to and served quickly - management are generous with the amount of staff they have working at busy times and it pays! We're just around the corner so will be visiting a lot more - great work !
We had a brilliant night at the Tap last night for our hen do. A special thank you to Eve who sorted out a great spot for us, allowed us to decorate and the food was a massive hit. The guys behind the bar were great as well!! Definitely worth a visit and we will be back � � � � �
Great new place in Richmond that has very quickly become a popular place. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Good room at the back for parties. Looking forward to the rugby days especially 17 March which is St Patrick's Day and England v Ireland rugby at Twickenham.......
Gem of a place. Great selection of beers and friendly staff.
Great food, amazing selection of so many drinks and staff were exceptional . I will definitely be recommending Tap Tavern to friends and family 😊👍

Excellent service, good range of both beers and gins, very knowledgable staff.
Amazing new bar in Richmond! Played there last night with Central Line band and it really felt very accommodating with great staff as well as customers! Can’t wait to go back next week :)
Lovely new interior and the selection of ales, beers, lagers, stouts and everything else is very impressive. Wish the kitchen had been open when we came. We'll just have to go back for food another day
Lovely people, cosy and relaxed atmosphere, great food. Enjoyed stopping by and surely will pop in again in the future.

It's a strange thing, I lived down the road from Tap Tavern when it opened up, and I barely went in. I've moved away, but now when visiting I end up gravitating back to this place when in need of a quiet retreat away from the hoards of Ted Lasso tourists. Has the place changed? I doubt it. I was a fussy guy back when I lived in here, and was definitely guilty of the craft beer nerd cliché of assuming there's "nothing good on".
That being said, the remaining pubs in the area are mostly Fullers or Young's, so beer selection is limited, even more so now that Real Ale closed up shop in Twickenham. But coming here you've got 16 taps, a vast cocktail menu and even a couple of casks too. You'll be hard pressed to find something you won't enjoy.
Beer-wise it's not going mad for imports, hazy hype or lambics, you're not going to satisfy the most ardent beer nerds here, but to keep it relatively affordable you'll see Mondo, Siren, Deya among others. Those that are in that sweet spot of high-volume production. I dabbled in a 2% Deya Pale on this occasion, drank to the backdrop of a gormless chap on speakerphone to someone who didn't want to be video called.
Food always looks good here. I've had a few of the burgers, fries, sides, and they're all decent. The roasts fly out too, and booking is essential on weekends - we arrived here a bit before the influx of 1pm bookings hence the emptiness but nice to enjoy it while it lasted. Varied menu, veggie friendly too, and dependable quality as well based on the times I've eaten here.
Staff are always super-friendly, table service if you like, bar if you don't. I like the addition of the bar seats at one side, plus the window seating for a spot of people watching. It can get quite crowded, especially when the rugger is on. You don't have to squeeze in here though, the back room is spacious and comfortable, and there's a hidden speakeasy that's hidden from this post too (it wasn't open yet).
I used to hate going to Richmond (sometimes I still do), but I don't mind it so much now that I've rediscovered this place.

We hosted a small private party at Dropkick Jonny’s - the whiskey bar above the Tap Tavern in September and they were absolutely fantastic.
From the very beginning, Jack and Kirsty were super helpful and organised when communicating the plan and our options, offering buffet menu choices, and even curating a personalised cocktail menu for us based on our favourite drinks. We always felt we were in great hands.
The event itself was seamless. My partner was allowed to pop in earlier in the day to decorate, and when our guests arrived we were greeted with a welcome cocktail from our custom menu, with gorgeous Print outs of the menu around the room.
The atmosphere was lovely, cosy with plenty to look at, and we were able to play our own playlist. Throughout the evening we had Olly serving us and he went above and beyond all night. Always with a smile, friendly with our guests and making sure everyone got try all the different cocktails! He impressed my partner and his best friend with his whisky knowledge at the end of the night too!
The food was heavenly - again accommodations had been made just for us to make sure there was plenty to meet everyone’s dietary requirements, and there was no trouble asking for a bit extra later when everyone wanted a bit more!
Overall I can’t recommend it enough for a small event. Incredible staff, delicious drinks and top notch food. What more could you want.
Lovely bar with beautiful outdoor seating! They also show games indoors which is nice! They have some good vegan options (vegan burger and vegan wellington Sunday roast) which is good! The service is also very impeccable - the staff are very friendly :)
Great spot to drink beer - excellent selection of a variety of beers. Drinks are all quite expensive, some above the price of other local places. Food is good, tasty, comes quickly and is hot. Side chips portion is pathetically small however. Staff are always friendly and efficient. Several visits here.
Had visited this place with my friends and tried some beer. There are around 16 different varieties of beer to choose from. Have posted few clicks. Thank you!
A lovely and urban pub, 3 minutes away from Richmond Stn, that has an extensive drink menu - local beers on tap, classic cocktails and wine by the bottle and glass.
The service is really friendly though food service was a bit slow. We still enjoyed the food a lot! The food nenu has a great selection of bites to share and main. The veggie option wasn't massive but really nice options.
Overall it is a little pricey but well worth it to treat yourselves!
Really interesting upmarket urban pub in central Richmond with a huge selection of craft beers (17) and gins. You can book a table in advance and we turned up to see ours reserved with times. Beer prices are quite high so watch the bill! Menu was quite limited and we went for fish and chips. Food was good as was table service. Table service charge is discretionary and an extra 12.5% was added to our bill which was removed when we queried this.
Nice and easy pub nestled in an alley close to station. Young but happy staff around and really good selection of beers. Food was decent too. I'm pretty sure it gets busier than when I went but really don't mind recommending it even in those busy times.
Beautiful pub with the friendliest staff - Nuno and Katie have been amazing! Also, the best fish and chips I've had in the last few years in London. Highly recommended, can't wait to return.
An excellent craft beer bar, just off a main road in Richmond. Lots of great beers to choose from local breweries like Twickenham and Siren, plus a good menu of burgers etc. We visited on Easter Monday, and there was a BBQ outside cooking fantastic steak sandwiches. Looking forward to returning!
Excellent service, beers, food and all-round good vibes. Can honestly say I’ve never had anything other than a great experience in this pub.
We booked as a group of 4, but someone else joined and the staff were really accommodating. The vegan burger is mind blowing, as is the truffle cheese.
Tasty burgers, amazing Sunday roast and great selection of drinks. Try the bloody/virgin Mary! You won’t be disappointed with their megapint
I visited the Tap Tavern with friends on a Wednesday evening. It was unexpectedly crowded and loud but we had book a table and were promptly seated.
Service was a bit slow ( they may have not expectedsuch a turn up) , and there were issues with the order, but once we got it we all enjoyed our food and the customer care was good and it made a difference.
Had the mushroom & cashew nut wellington. Great to find a pub that does such a good vegan Sunday roast. It was a generous sized portion and the roast potatoes were really crispy. Very disappointed at the lack of vegan desserts. There were none listed on the menu & when I asked the waitress she said there was just some vegan ice cream. A vegan-friendly fruit crumble to finish would've made it the perfect meal.

We’ve spent the day walking round Richmond Park with some friends and stumbled across a nice little craft beer pub just off the high street!
The Rugby was just about to kick off and the atmosphere was brilliant, good options for sitting outside or at the bar - be a great place to have as a local, and worked well for us to rest up and rehydrate before the train home! 🚂
Our fave thing: The beer, loads of great craft options on both draft and in cans.
📍🚇 Just less than a 5 min walk from Richmond Station.

Nice to have a bit of a tap room in Richmond. The Vaults is great, but that is quite seasonal being in a basement and doesn’t open until a bit later in the day.
The beer selection in the Tap Tavern is vast and available in schooners or pints (I think halves too but that’s not quite enough!). It’s a little pricy, but if you get something a bit more arthouse it’s worthwhile. The Wimbledon Weiss beer was very good and something I’ve not seen before. There was also Rothaus Weiss beer on offer too, not to mention a multitude of other keg beers and some cask too. I wasn’t even aware they did food so didn’t indulge, but I think I’d trust they’d knock up a mean meal.
Staff were friendly too and attentive to who was next in line at the bar (a rare trait these days) and there’s a decent amount of outside seating which is great for a town centre pub here. Of course the riverside pubs have a lot of space outside too, but the ones nearer the high street not so much. Can’t fault the amount on offer here at all or the diversity of the selection.
Probably the best pub/bar in and around the high street and that said from many years of plying the Richmond vicinity.
Great tap room/bar/pub with an extensive selection of craft beers on draft. The beers we tried were all fresh, interesting and tasty. You can certainly see that they selected the beers with care and based on knowledge while trying to offer beers from local breweries (London). The tavern has a really friendly and inviting atmosphere. There is seating outdoor and comfortable sofas indoors and some bar stools as well. Lots of wood all around and the decor is lovely. The service was charming, very efficient and the place was super clean. They also have a couple of TV showing rugby when it's on, not sure if they do the same for football. They also have an interesting food menu and the dishes looked pretty but we only came for drinks so can't comment on the food. The beers are a bit expensive, hence the 4 star rating.
