1. Taphouse 15

Phone Number: (862) 437-1300

What they are saying: Had one of the best experiences last night at Taphouse 15. Free comedy night (comedians basically worked for tips) . There was a 50/50 to raise money for an animal shelter which i think is great. Dogfish head was in the house taking over taps and giving out samples. Had the 120 minute IPA and the Romantic Chemistry. Great beers great brewery personable representative giving samples.As far as Tap 15 itself, incredible food (and they donated a percentage of each check) we couldn't get past trying as many different appetizers as we could. Bang bang shrimp is a must and the deep fried deviled eggs were a surprise hit. Place was jammed, but they didn't miss a beat.For those of you who like comedy clubs, the seating was set up similar to your typical layout but more comfortable than you are probably used to. They didn't over crowd.Service was outstanding. Our server Ryan was the epitome of service excellence. Great attitude, fast, checked back often had great suggestions for food. Basically covered every aspect to make dining there a pleasure.Absolutely going there again for a quiet dinner sooner than later.
