Love DownTime Taps! Great atmosphere, including the outdoor space with heaters, and the pour your own drink part of it is super unique.

We love this place, has something for everyone. We love the variety and I personally enjoy that you can get as little or as much as your want of a drink. Makes trying things out really easy and fun before committing to a full pour. Highly recommend this places for gatherings and hangouts!

While me personally I am not a big fan of the types of beer available when I went. The food was still good and the atmosphere was amazing . It was quiet enough to have conversation with my group and still lively enough to to return at a later date. Would recommend to switch up your weekly group meet up spot.

LOVE this place! The folks here let us have a birthday party here on the patio. They reserved that space for us, allowed us to bring food and celebrate. They are always so friendly and helpful. Highly highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

Really like being able to try different drinks in small amounts. Great variety on tap and good atmosphere. Tons of seating options inside and out for different size parties.

An excellent way to serve beer, wine, and cider! This pub offers a very large selection of beers, 3 wines, and some cider from serve-yourself taps. Pricing is by the ounce (and it's a joy for those who want tiny tastes of every beer.) The staff are friendly. The interior, furnished with wood tables and wood-panelled walls, is inviting. There is a small menu but also the option of ordering a pizza from a neighboring restaurant and having it delivered to your table in the pub. All in all, highly recpmmended.

Amazing place to drink and eat! Great food and big assortment of beers/ciders. To top it if off the bartenders/owners are super hot. Owner Tomas makes you feel welcome everytime you come in and Jesus is the most fun to do Singo with! Everyone should give it a try.

Always a good time at Downtime! Everything on the menu is so good. Highly recommend the pretzel and yaki banh. You can also bring your own food. There is a great variety of drinks from ciders to beer, wine and more. I like the rotating selection and that they keep some staple goodies on tap. The music and events are also very funny. All around highly recommend supporting this business and the great owners.

DownTime is our favorite place! We go there whenever we can! The staff are super friendly and welcoming, there are tons of drinks choices, and the food is always delicious and well presented. It's clean, has a cool vibe, and is comfortable, with a great atmosphere. They're super family and dog friendly too!

I have no idea how we didn’t know this gem was here. This place is awesome!! The staff is very helpful, and food is top shelf!! It’s a serve yourself tap wall, and you pay by the ounce. We came for the live music but we will be back with or without it. A definite keeper.

Love the ability to choose your serving size and glassware, and they have a pretty respectable selection of beers, ciders, and other beverages. Their in-house food selections are tasty, and you can get food delivered from Coconut Kenny's as well.

This is my favorite place to go. Excellent customer service. Great food. Chill environment to hang out or go for a quick bite. Huge variety of drinks. Trivia, music bingo, and all the events are super fun. The covered patio has swings and heaters so we'll sit outside all year. You can reserve it for parties as well.

Had some time to kill before a wedding and this was the right place. Great concept, try a few ounces of all kinds of drinks. The guy at the counter was really nice and helpful. I sipped on beers and watched soccer while waiting. Great place to hang out.

We brought in a larger group around 8 pm and the staff mentioned the food wait time could be longer but there wasn’t any noticeable change in service. The out of towners in the group mentioned how Downtime Taps was β€œjust right.” Thank you!
