My Liquid Sunshine was sunny and smooth, but I also really liked the Tropical Mango and the Island Hoppin’ IPA. I really liked the strong Coffee Stout too, but it's not for everyone. The food was typical bar fare but better. The Hummus Plate was absolutely perfect, the Mexican Pizza was like a breadier version of nachos, and the Pulled... More

The Tap Room, located on the upper level of the Mongoose Junction shopping center in Cruz Bay, may not be a beach bar, but it more than makes up for it with the air conditioning. We spent seven very humid days on St. John, and the Tap Room called to us at a certain point each day. It was so... More

The owners and staff at the Tap Room recently made our trip to St. John so memorable by hosting a special dinner for 20 people. They bent over backwards to make sure that everything was just perfect and all of our couples attending felt like they were family the minute that they stepped in the door! From the samples galore...

We enjoy visiting microbreweries when we travel and didn't want to miss the chance to visit St. John's only one. It's tucked away in Mongoose Junction, an interesting cluster of specialty shops. We sat outside in a tiny area with just a few tables. We were waited on promptly, ordered a couple of craft brews and told the waiter we... More

Located right in Mongoose Junction, the Tap Room had a nice lunch menu. We shared a pulled pork quesadilla and enjoyed their IPA, which is sold throughout the island. Friendly staff, nice stop when you go into town, large windows look out on trees and neighboring shops.

I live on St.Thomas but always make my way over to the Tap Room to drink the amazing beer on tap! The staff is always fun and super attentive.

My wife & I enjoyed the food, drinks, and staff at The Tap Room so much that we ate lunch there twice during our visit to St. John. For our first lunch, I ordered Mexican Pizza & Pint of Amber Jack, and my wife ordered the Hummus & veggie plate along with the Island Rum drink. By coincidence, we had... More

We were looking for a place for dinner before heading back on the Ferry to St. Thomas. SO glad we found The Tap Room! The place is among the many shops in Mongoose tucked up on an upper floor. There was quite a bar crowd and I wasn't sure they'd welcome us with kids. They were more than friendly and... More

This is my favorite hangout on the island! I am always very entertained when I come here (beer pong, trivia pursuit, tv, live music, etc...). We love the Tropical Mango and Island Summer Ale--two fav beers. And I don't mind a flash bomb every now and again or an R&R (their home made root beer is delicious). The bartenders are... More
