The Tamworth Tap at Tamworth Brewing Co in Tamworth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

After Attending the Tamworth Beer Festival. Called in the Tap. For Something to Eat. Had Cauliflower Buffalo Wings. Collected from a Delightful Garden Hatch. Enjoyed with a Wicked Spicy Dip. Drank well kept Cask Ale. Even took some Beer. Off us. As they Thought it was not up to Standard. Won the National Camra . Best Pub Award in 2022 & 2023. Can See Why. Big Que at Evening Rush hour. Lovely Pub. Will Return. When in the Area.

Cracking pub. Staff are brilliant, atmosphere is superb. So nice to find a place that serves great drinks and is full of people enjoying the moment. Yet to try the food but that'll be a definite on our next visit.

Good beer and staff good service and atmosphere nice place

Cracking place great beer. Good atmosphere. Lovely garden.

Broke a train journey from London to Stoke to visit here. One of the best pubs I've ever been in. Unbelievably good selection of beer, and super friendly/helpful service. Cheese & onion cobs in this area are one of life's finest things, and this was no exception. Seriously, if you ever get the chance to visit do.

Nice cosy place. I enjoyed the IPA (Citra) but then tried the Twisted Lime Cider which tasted like someone had made a pint of lime cordial but switched the water and lime ratio round the wrong way. It was luminous green ! Won't be having that again but will be back to try others.

higgledy-piggledy, lovely knowledgeable staff, pity I couldn't access garden area (about 10pm was here) may be limited times. Reminds me if the Crooked House in Himley R.I.P. All pubs like this need protection to avoid same fate, CAMRA need to do more work on this problem.

Excellent historical pub next to tamworth castle, lovely beer garden, lovely historical interior, great range of quality cask ales and craft ales, lovely friendly environment and staff,well worth a visit enjoy,I did x,cheers and many thanks x

Fabulous beer, fabulous service, fabulous atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, very good selection of beer and food. Great garden, feel like you are in the castle. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

An amazing find, don’t miss it! Great selection of beer (other drinks available), sun trap beer garden, when I visited there was live music, overlooked by Tamworth Castle. This place is what micropubs are all about. Will visit again, soon I hope…

Came to Tamworth to meet up with friends as a convenient halfway point. I would genuinely come back just for this pub. Drank here both Friday and Saturday nights. Great choice of cask ale, constantly changing. Pub is full of character, both in and out. Great beer garden/yard. Simple but nice food in the form of cobs, sausage rolls, pork pies, chips etc. Best thing of all is the staff. Highly knowledgeable, very friendly and welcoming, super professional. This pub won CAMRA pub of the year 2022 and 2023 and I can see why. It'll take some beating.

Nice place to try a wide range of unusual beers

Really friendly and brilliant selection of drinks

Brilliant staff who work really hard to create a great atmosphere. Their beer knowledge is impressive!

Guy with glasses is proper jobsworth, shouted at us to not vape when none of us vape.

Not hard to see why this place is so highly rated as to be award winning, if you were looking to create a perfect pub this would pretty much be what you would have.

Great place for a beer or cider (amongst other drinks) with lots of choice. The staff are great with good knowledge of the drinks and happy to help with you with choosing.

Quality beer destination.. keg craft..cask ales ..dedicated Belgium 🇧🇪 beer bar.fab building and garden.. 👍👍..

A great place to visit, with real ales regularly changing, so always something new to try. CAMRA discount. Live music from time to time makes it a great venue.

Great Pub! Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Hubby loved the choice of ales. Would recommend very highly!

Absolute perfection of a pub. Fantastic drinks range , great food/ snacks, friendly, cosy, comfortable and everything about it is quality with huge attention to detail. I ran a multi award winning pub for 21 years and we experienced the same negative reviews as you because we didn't allow kids, Didn't exchange drinks just because someone wanted something different ( ie no quality issues ), kept on top of any anti social issues etc , you will never please those people and im sure you don't worry about it . Your venue is fantastic and you fully deserve your awards . Well done and thankyou for providing what you do.

Love the girls behind the bar here… not only do they remember my face… they remember my dog and her name! And they’ve got great product knowledge too. It’s a 10 from Len (Si).

First ever visit here and loved it. It was very busy but managed to get a table upstairs. Great choice of drinks from real ale, cask and keg and craft beers on tap and cans & bottles in the fridge. Staff very friendly & helpful. Didn't have any food, but what they had looked good

amazing pub, beautiful interior, clean and creatively designed toilets, great local and international craft beer selection and good food. We went out of our way to come here because of a recommendation, and it was definitely worth it! A big thanks to the wonderful staff and kind people at the pub that made us feel so welcome in Tamworth! Will come again for sure!

Great, great pub. Staff lovely and very knowledgeable both about beer, food and the town itself. Would go out of my way to revisit. Totally recommendable. Beer selection amazing 🍻😊

Rustic micro pub, Takes a few visits to love the charm. But utterly utterly welcoming and an amazing labyrinth. Massively warm atmosphere. Won UK best pub in the Camra circles! A treat. Always the right music and volume !

Came to the Wassail night - great fun and beer and cider excellent. Staff helpful and knowledgeable about their ale as always.

Excellent place,,,,well worthy of it's awards,,,,,excellent beers,great staff

I came to the wassail night this evening, there was great beer and cider. The staff were really helpful in helping me choose a drink and even offered a free taster beforehand. Really positive experience, will definitely be back again.

There is better pubs than this however the decor is amazing. The two young girls behind the bar do not come across as convincing that they know what they are selling and here's a big negative point.. I asked if I could swop a beer as the one I bought at nearly £5 didn't taste right. One of the girls said "there's nothing wrong with the beer.. You can either buy a different one or keep that". Very poor service. Even wetherspoons change a drink if its not up to what you deem drinkable. At the end of the day the Tamworth tap is just a public house like thousands across the UK.. Yes there's lots of tin adverts on the walls etc but two win Camra pub of the year twice.. Really! Worth a visit if you've other pubs to take in also. Tony

An award-winning pub and micro brewery in the heart of Tamworth. A lovely beer garden to the rear.

Quality beer and friendly reception at the CAMRA Pub of the Year

Love this place. Beer top notch

First visit. Really impressed with the range of beers. Excellent bar staff. Helped the young lady fix the Christmas tree lights!

Really enjoyed another return to the tap last night. Great service as usual, friendly locals and superb beer (cask, keg). Finished on a Belgian beer and it was great to see a couple of new ones in the fridge too. Till the next time.

Highly recommended and never disappointed when visiting with family or friends. Keep up the fabulous work folks 🍻

Absolutely fantastic place, will always be my local the most fantastic staff they always cater to your taste, the food is amazing due to years of finding that perfect chef to meet the pubs needs, you don’t come here for a pint… you come here for the experience, there is a reason they are number 1 in the country

Superb choice of constantly changing ales and ciders with excellent outdoor seating. Friendly staff too. My only criticism would be the 9pm closing. As requested by maps an update on the above review: Closing time has been reviewed and is now 10pm on Wednesday and Thursday, 11pm Friday and Saturday, still 9pm on Sunday though. Another request requests an update on staff. Currently I only come into contact with 4. Sophie, Jess, Kate and Ash are worth their weight in gold. Lucy I have the misfortune of regularly missing but is there with them. A great team if 5 (plus the bosses of course). It is well worthy of Pub of the Year.

Great pub on the main street with the castle behind. Super range of real ales along with craft kegs. The atmosphere was great and a friendly relaxed environment.

Great brewery, with lots of craft ciders and beers to choose, can or keg. It has some great Belgian beers. It has 3 floors with cozy rooms to enjoy your drink and your company, good music, and an amazing beer garden at the back of Tamworth Castle. Just won the CAMRA best English pub of the year award.

Brilliant pub. has a nice homely feeling inside and a great Beer Garden for the Summer,

WOW!... exceptional pub, outstanding atmosphere & a great choice of drinks... Will definitely be back....

Honestly one of the best pubs I've ever visited. A real gem in the heart of Tamworth. Excellent, friendly and knowledgeable staff and the choice of ales, beers, ciders is brilliant. I've been a lapsed CAMRA member for several years, but visiting here has made me sign up again. Keep up the good work all!

What. A. Pub. If you want a great choice of fabulously poured beer, look no further! The beer is fantastic, the staff are exceptional and look after you so well, nothing is too much! A wonderful place to drink, definitely pop in!!!

The absolute jewel in the crown of Tamworth. Unrivalled service, drinks selection and atmosphere. The owners have clearly put great care and effort into ensuring this is the pub of pubs (the CAMRA national pub of the year is no surprise). Will be back here without question.

The highlight of Tamworth real ale scene when you’re an ale enthusiast and you’re on a pub crawl. Great old timey look for somewhere relatively new, great range of real ales and lagers, and good selection of bar snacks from cobs to sausage rolls and pork pies I think. Friendly staff too. It is strictly over 18s only too. All in all, a great little establishment!

A really lovely quirky little pub. Friendly staff and clientele. Todays Sunday session with Sheena and Tom was great. Will certainly visit again!

Fantastic pub and brewery.bcoutyard hosts a food bar with small bites to go with your beer. Camra pub of the year 2022.

We went for the Sunday sessions, amazing music by Rob Taylor, in the gorgeous beer garden, overlooked by Tamworth castle, a brilliant recommendation for my beer, I'd expect nothing less from camra pub of the year, all in the sunshine. I would definitely recommend this pub, independent, quirky, in a really good way, great beer and staff.

This is a beautiful pub with a lovely beer garden. HOWEVER I would advise all dog owners to go elsewhere- of 'elsewheres' there are many in Tamworth. I went with my dog, and a friend with their dog- we sat outside on a quiet, sunny, sunday afternoon. We were joined by a regular who sat chatting with us about the dogs, and then joined by 2 more people and 2 more dogs that we didnt know- there was momentary barking when they first went past- pretty normal for dogs- but it was short and not persistent. On finishing our drinks we were all asked to leave as the dogs 'weren't settling'. The dogs were absolutely fine and not making a fuss. We all left immediately without argument- i dont want to be somewhere im not welcome- but the next day I emailed asking for an explanation- i have waited a week and had nothing back. So dog owners you have had fair warning....

What a fabulous place the words quaint and idyllic are perfect to describe the tamworth tap , the staff are very very polite and can't do enough for you and the gaffers are alright too , also the cheese and onion cobs are to die for, delicious .I'll definitely be going out of my way to go again. 11/10

The best looking bar staff of any bar I've ever been in. Though the real reason to visit is the quaffable ales. Come for the ale, stay for the staff and a couple more pints of the ale.

This pub is great, I've visited many times. And we all love it. However, today, we were all kicked out because they would not accept my nearly 19 year old daughter's ID. She wasn't even drinking alcohol. In all fairness, the group of us were not kicked out. They just said my daughter would have to leave. They also wouldnt even let us finish our drinks. Immediately booted. So be warned, even if you have valid ID, if you look young, they will kick you out. So disappointed with them. It's for this reason a large group of us will now not return. Such a shame.

Everything you could want from a pub

Always a pleasure to drink here. Fantastic staff, great atmosphere, excellent range of drinks. Just an awesome place to be.

Me and my girlfriend came here on Friday evening. We aren’t knowledgable about Ale and made that clear from the start with our interaction with the gent behind the bar (beard, brown hair and glasses) and he was patient with us and incredibly kind and knowledgable. We are definitely coming back. Thank you so much. Also, it’s an amazing venue and you can see why it’s number one

Great place for a beer and relax 5*

Great staff great pub cosy beautiful garden and great talented musicians and singers highly recommend

I like the Tamworth tap some places you go and you feel comfortable for me that's it

Lucy was fantastic and friendly..good atmosphere and service.. go there and try the Vendett lager! It's amazing x

Wonderful pub, voted CAMRA National Pub of the Year recently. Fully deserved in our opinion. Great beer range, warm and friendly atmosphere and fantastic décor. Glad we made the effort to visit on our way back to London 👍😁🍻

The courtyard at the rear has been thoughtfully refurbished to make an excellent outdoor drinking area with plenty of seating. This gives quite a continental feel to the drinking experience. The beer is excellent and there is a good choice of cider too. Blankets are provided for when the evenings get cooler but I do worry that the limited interior space may mean it will get rather crowded in the winter when our climate doesn't encourage drinking outdoors. UPDATE: it is crowded at busy times (most of the time) in winter, especially since winning CAMRA pub of the year, but there are 3 floors so you will always find somewhere to sit down.

robbie knox and becky have made me want to go here all the time now. love the best pub in the uk!

Homely pub, vast range of microbrewery beers and ciders. Cosy setting and places to sit on multiple floors, has a great atmosphere and place to sit outside on a warm day.

This place reopened after covid, we tried to get in and were turned away as they were only taking bookings. We watched as people piled on who hadn't even booked, rude and unfriendly

Can't rate the food as I only had beer. Lovely little pub, like stepping back In time. The stove was burning hot when I visited, the staff were friendly and the customers seemed happy and friendly. Wonderful little pub, between this and the Robert peel, you'll have a great night out. Oh and the gents toilets are absolutely cracking 👌. Worth visiting just for the bogs 😃

Great award winning CAMRA pub, amazing garden & a micro brewery too boot!!

Really beautiful pub, lots to choose from and the loveliest staff.

One of if not "THE BEST" venues in Tamworth. Tbh if you weren't aware you could easily breeze by as it is very deceptive from the front. The owner "George" is not only a great host he's a true visionary & has totally transformed the former tourist information centre into a real gem of a place. I shared a few quality real ales & ciders outside with a couple of friends last evening & the choice for both was amazing. The decor, table spacing & outdoor heating was perfect & on selected nights there's even live music being performed. Looking around whist outside you could've been in any European city. Kudos to George & his wife Louise on what they've achieved & I'm sure that there's still more to come. So I urge all of you Tammy's or from even further a field who like to drink in a warm, friendly hospitable environment to give this place a try. I can assure you that you won't be disappointed! 🍺🥂🍷🥃🍸👍🏻

Good selection of beers - staff very helpful. Nice decor - pub / brewing memorabilia

A cracking pub, an array of excellent beers and the pub itself split over three floors is full of charm and character. We had a great time having a little room to ourselves at the top. The landlord was friendly and we would definitely come back.

Don't go if you're in a wheelchair no chance of a toilet. Camra seems to over look people in wheelchairs

Excellent definitely visit CAMRA CARNT BE WRONG after all The tamworth tap own beer sells itself The boss floating around keeping an eye on everything keeps this an excellent tap house Kept Very clean all over VISIT VISIT VISIT

Great place. Fantastic staff and great selection of beers.

Lovely bar with great beer. And officially the best pub and best pub garden in Britain as decreed by CAMRA 2023

What a great pub, the decor service and range of drinks is unreal. Will be back 🙂

Sorry not really a review just a Well done on the recent award for POTY. Im from St Helens camra and plan a visit ASAP 👍🍺

I don't know what it's like, I don't go to pubs. Maybe it's nice

Love this place 💗 little gem in Tamworth.

Great beers and the pork pies were amazing!

Don't do meals but if anything like the rest 5 stars, our go to place 😁 for chat inside or outside, staff very friendly & knowledgable too, so enjoying trying a different drink each time

Fantastic pub. Great atmosphere and great ales.

The place to go in Tamworth if you're into real ales, ciders and gins. That said - you will also find plenty of variety of regular drinks too. The Courtyard is huge with open and covered seating. Staff are friendly and attentive. The food is great and well priced - gastro twist on classic pub foods. This is a place to support if you want to see Tamworth grow classier places.

Really good vibe but major downside is that despite reservations not being available, consistently one group is allowed to reserve a table in the window. It’s a minor thing but just quite rude to others, particularly as the attitude of that party is quite unfriendly. Otherwise a great venue - just don’t sit in the window!

Best toilets ever 🤣🤣🤣 oh and the best beer around.!!!!

There’s a reason why this is the regional CAMRA pub of the year. Great beer, comfy atmosphere and a great outdoor area what more could you want?

Possibly the best pub in Tamworth.

What amazing place great beers great people the best court yard garden you will ever find perfect

Beer is fantastic and some staff are great. Remember listening to a 30 second video on my phone and being told it should be on my headphones when the pub was half empty at 1pm. Strange customer service when we'd already bought 3 rounds of drinks. Left straight after and the bloke behind the bar, presuming the landlord, needs to learn how to treat customers.

The owners are down to earth and passionate about their dream. This is the pinnacle of pubs.

What an absolute gem of a place, fantastic choice of ales, friendly staff and clientele. Tardis beer garden at the rear has great atmosphere. Looking forward to returning.

Excellent selection of drinks served by knowledgeable staff. Cosy rear garden up against the castle walls. Best place in Tamworth.

Great place for a pint of real ale lots of choice

Nice traditional pub with some unusual and tasty beers on offer.

Went here as it was a good little pub. Unfortunately it has gone downhill. My partner can't have alcohol so wanted a hot drink. In the past this was not a problem. Now for some reason they do not serve hot drinks as its a real ale pub. Was told this quite abruptly too so will not be back. Shame as I did like the pub

Probably the best pub in the town. Good selection of ales and cider with no trouble to try before you buy. I had a White Rat. Plenty of seating, although quite limited inside. The back has ample seating with a view of the castle and lovely flowers. What would add a little more would be vintage signs like: Ovaltine, Castrol GTX and others, for example Ind Coope. If you have a trip planned to the town pop in, you won't be disappointed

Brilliant little place, soo much choice, and a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit

Fabulous pub with great beer and god vibes. A wonderful local like locals used to be. And a super building with quiet corners too.

Lovely little pub with a good range behind the bar.
