The Tap at No.76 in North West Leicestershire

Enjoy a wide selection of ales and ciders from craft breweries. Great atmosphere and dog-friendly. You must try the Ale cake. Goes well with beer or the free coffee/tea.

What a fantastic pub! We love this place. Excellent beers and wonderful friendly staff. Keep up the good work.

Love this place, can take the dog too, does get busy tho so expect standing room only at peak times. Staff have always been knowledgeable and friendly on my visits.

Amazing local, better then the rest been to a few pubs in ashby but the tap has a more of a classy vibe. Lovely beer me and the partner love the beers they have on tap nice and cold and clean shiny glasses not like some of the bars around town. They also offer to buy beer and take away home with you we loved it. we will be returning again and we have heard all positive reviews about this place. Excellent customer service from the staff really cheerful and bubbly.

Not huge but this super little bar has everything you need. A really friendly atmosphere, helpful bar service and modern,contemporary yet rustic decor. Lots of choice of craft ales or perhaps a cheeky G & T. There is always a superb range of bar snacks available but last Wednesday night Mrs Patel`s street food was available from the rear of the pub. Pay separately and eat it at your seat. Absolutely delicious, fragrant, quite spicy but not blow your head off heat. Impressive and good value for money. Many thanks.

Popped in for the crafternoon tea, and seated by a most pleasant helpful staff member in the window ready for people watching.The tea contents were explained to us and allowed to choose any of the beers from the extensive selection. Sandwiches were superb and I enjoyed the pasteries locally sourced.Overall a most pleasant deviation for tea. Recommended.

Called in to Sample a couple of the ales. Cosy comfortable contemporary decor and good service. The ales were well kept with a good selection of local brews. Well worth another visit.

Small contemporary bar - although serving from the barrel we were only served schooners (two-thirds of a pint) at normal price for a pint making it expensive for nothing really special

Nice local beers. Friendly personnel. You can talk as there is no music making you yell. I liked the stout beer. Near some good restaurants.

Always a great range of ales. Atmosphere is brilliant, this is my favourite place in ashby to have a beer. I love it. Since having new windows that open half way makes such a difference in the warm weather. Great idea.

Splendid bar with excellent beer and snacks Generally very busy with a lively atmosphere Just a bit loud owing to echoes but great fun

The ‘Tap at 76’ is a brilliant place to chill and is suited to all tastes

Excellent choice of locally brewed ales and some interesting food items. Quite small but with a friendly atmosphere.

To be honest, I spend so much time in here in the winter I should probably have my mail redirected!!!

The staff are wonderful, the service was fantastic and the beer is good to. We will certainly be returning.

Crafternoon tea for 2 is a must! Lovely local homemade sweets & savouries with of course the great local ales.

A really nice addition to Ashby with local brewed beers and some very tasty snacks! Very happy to recommend.

Just moved into the area and a few people had mentioned we should try this place. Got to be honest the ales and drink selection is very good but the place needs to sort out the condensation so when you sit in the windows you can actually see out, must also mention that be careful if you sit near the left hand window as there is a huge crack running down the glass top to bottom. Clearly a popular place though as it was nicely busy but with it being a small snug place the noise is a bit like being in a box with no where for the sound to go.

Visited the tap at no.76 a few times since moving close by the bar itself is fine can get very busy and not to many seats if you want to sit down this is probably not the place for you. Beer selection is great.

Have visited here numerous times and have never been disappointed. The beer selection is incredible and the staff are always ready to help if you can’t decide what to have.

Visited the Tap at No. 76 in July, with a group of work colleagues on a night out. Tried a few of the different cask beers/ales on offer and I was converted from fizzy lager to flat lager. Great atmosphere and great locally brewed cask beer, what more can you ask for.

Called in on the way to the restaurant and loved it so much call in again on way back. Brilliant atmosphere. My husband had the local beer and I had a glass of Prosecco. Prices extremely good £3.50 for a glass of Prosecco. Every one in there was very friendly and its dog friendly as well. Staff lovely. Although we didn't try any they serve pork pie snacks which we were told were amazing. What a great find.

I was brought here by mates for whom this is a regular haunt. So glad they did. Great beer, great atmosphere and the best pork pie I think has ever passed my lips. In a three day visit, I was fortunate enough to come here twice; a busy Friday evening before an Indian meal and Sunday late lunch time after working up a thirst in my mate’s allotment. It was on this second occasion, in payment for sweat and toil in the allotment, he treated me to the pie and a black pudding scotch egg. Tollgate Brewery Ashby Pale Ale - a beautiful real ale - the surroundings, the food and the company of my friends made for a great experience. One to be repeated on my next visit to my chums.

Nice little place offering a good selection of local beers and ciders. Very friendly atmosphere and helpful, knowledgeable staff

What a transformation from a dark and fusty tea room. This little place is bustling with a good clientele of 30- 70 something's. There's only one problem, it's so successful you can't move. Still, if space and quiet is your order, try one of the other pubs in Ashby.

So pleased that Ashby has The Tap! It is strictly over-18s and we see that as a bonus as all the other pubs in Ashby cater for families. The interior is really tastefully done with a log-burner and tables/benches which encourage conversation. There is no background music but there is free wi-fi. There is always a great range of drinks on offer and these rotate regularly so don’t be afraid to ask for a taster if you’re unsure what to order. The staff are friendly and really knowledgeable so can make suggestions to your taste. There is free tea, coffee and water available as well as dog biscuits for your furry friend. The snacks are excellent - the Stilton pork pie is a favourite of ours. The bar can get busy, but as it’s a small place you just need to keep an eye out for when it thins and go for it! Great atmosphere, great range of drinks and snacks, great prices. Perfect!

Been here several times and enjoyed it thoroughly each time. Great selection of beers and ciders, lovely warm atmosphere, real fire and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

A fabulous wide range of beer, some excellent examples from around the country and some world beers. The atmosphere is comfortable with intimate friendly chat. A thoroughly pleasant and relaxing experience.

A Wednesday night is girlie night out and the Tap is where we start. A night off from the children (because they aren't allowed in here) is perfect. Drinks are fabulous as are the staff. Warm, friendly and welcoming. The perfect start to any evening.

Love this place, tend to take the dog for a walk and pop in as we are passing, great selection of beers and lovely prosecco! Even the dog is catered for, with water and biscuits. Relaxing, great for a chill out on a Sunday afternoon. Love it.!

Went here for the first time last night and I loved it. It was very busy but getting served wasn’t too much of an issue. The beer I had was an IPA and I couldn’t get enough of it. Sorry I can’t remember what it was called.

The first time I visited The Tap at No. 76 I unfortunately had some of the worse service I have ever experienced anywhere. Luckily I could still see that the place had charm and stuck with it. I have now been back a few times.

First visit yesterday (3/12/17). Great atmosphere and strictly 18 years of age and over (which I just qualify !(lol) ). Choice of beers excellent and made very welcome by mine host. Will definitely be back very soon !.

Went here with friends whilst in Ashby. Good choice of ales and wine served to us, however one of the pints (Melbourn) was very vinagry. Will try something different next time.

Great choice of beers and real ale. Particularly good pint of Ashby Pale by Tollgate brewery. Regular haunt of a weekend. Highly recommend

I visited here today with my family and felt the staff were rude and unwelcoming.

excellent place. great at lunchtime. nice range of beers and snacks. the only downside it thats its shockingly noisy and echo-y. I'll happily go back, but will avoid it when its crowded - which is most of the time!!!

We tried to visit this venue with family and our 5 month old grand-daughter in a pushchair. Bizarrely, we weren't even allowed in because our grand-daughter was under 18 years of age, despite the fact that she is clearly a young baby and we have regularly visited various pubs etc in the region without any problems. This seems like a really over zealous interpretation of the licensing laws, since there is no way anybody would even think about serving our grand-daughter an alcoholic drink. Sadly, we won't be able to find out if the Trip Advisor high scores for The Tap at No.76 are justified because it is unlikely we will try to visit there again.

This place is still relatively new so curiosity is possibly fuelling the popularity but a great atmosphere nevertheless. There are plenty to choose from and a bit more upmarket in terms of fit out, drinks and more of a hip place to be at this moment in time.

What a gem of a place a good choice of both wine and beer. We found the staff very very friendly and happy to talk about their products and very knowledgeable about the local area. Would definitely go again when visiting.

And very intimate and convivial ambience. Felt like a regular even though it was my first time here but it helped that my friends were actually regulars :)

Visited here on a Saturday night with my wife and really enjoyed the place. It has a good selection of real ales and also a good selection of wine. There is a really good atmosphere in the place and it is some where you can go and talk. Will be back soon.

A fantastic find in the heart of Ashby. A wonderfull selection of beer and wine, with great service and an ambiance that was just right.

Great to have a place that is quite (although the volume of chat can rise at times) and serves a great selection of real ales and ciders plus some specialist brew lagers - this keeps the rougher element out at no Carling, etc. Prices are good on their own brews (Tollgate) and smaller glasses are available on the more specialist brews (1/3, 1/2 and 2/3 pints). Offerings change frequently. No food other that nuts, crisps, Scotch eggs, etc. Water is great at £1 per bottle. Wine is also available from £4 for 175mm - the malbec is about the best red.

We love this place! Knowledgeable, helpful staff, great beers, attractive setting. Also some of the best Pork Pies and Scotch Eggs too!

We tend to call in on a Saturday afternoon/early evening and we love it here. The staff are fantastic. They allow you to try before you buy. Prices are very reasonable. Some beers are sold in 1/3 of a pint, 2/3 of a pint which is unusual others are sold in pints. For the ladies who don't drink beer wine is an alternative. Bottles of prosecco are available too as well as complimentary coffee. The customers are a mix of young and old and the atmosphere is wonderful. Chunky crisps are available as well as nuts, pork scratchings, scotch eggs and pork pies. Definitely worth a visit.

This was the first time that I had visited here and i was not disappointed!! I went along with my wife and two friends last night (06/05/17) and despite the fact that it was a Saturday evening and the pub was very full, the staff were friendly and efficient and we got served in no time at all. I can highly recommend the fruit cider as I have never tasted anything like this before. Obviously I will be returning to try the pork pie and scotch eggs!!

Have been going there every week now great place if you like your real ales and craft beers. There's a large selection of beer and cider but no spirits only wine which there is a good variety of as well. They do sell food (Scotch eggs,Pork pies) also crisps and pork scratching which has apple sauce in the pack. You will need to go early as it gets very busy later on as its so popular. Great pub will be there again this week.

The Tap is located in an old building full of beams and character. It is small inside so I think it would struggle to accommodate a large number of customers, however when we visited on a Sunday lunchtime there were only about a dozen so we had plenty of room. The interior is completely stripped back with only a basic bar, tables and seats - quite refreshing when compared to other more fussy pubs.

Lovely little place. Shame it's in ashby! Great beer. Great staff. Over 18s only. So no swifties after work with the kids in tow.

First visit and loved the refurbishment and decor. It's good to have effectively two distinct areas. At the front are the taller tables and high stools and where well-behaved dogs are welcome, at the back is a more relaxed sofa-type experience, and when we visited the open fire was lovely to feel and see.

We called in for a quick drink on the way to dinner. The drinks were very reasonable in price and there was a great selection of beers and ales. The bar itself is very nice inside. There is no music though so it lacks a little ambience. We will be going back again.

Great selection of beers and nice cosy atmosphere. Good for a relaxing drink and a bit different to the other pubs in Ashby 👍😀

Jay and I decided to visit the Chip and Pin in Melbourne and on the way to do a little shopping in nearby Ashby de la Zouch. Ashby's a typical English market town in north Leicestershire. There are no major high street stores here just small independent shops. Great if you like visiting charity shops which all have good quality items at reasonable prices. It was whilst we were shopping that we noticed The Tap at No 76. We immediately made a beeline to check it out. It's modern in style unlike others that we have visited, very much wine bar but non the less a really nice place. Not only do they have a selection of 5 real ales straight from the barrel but also craft beers, wines and free coffee tea and water. They also serve great pork pies. It's only 10 minutes off the A 42 junction 13 and well worth a visit.

We have visited a few times now and love it! Great atmosphere, lovely friendly welcoming staff, Landlady circulates and chats to customers and very welcoming. Good beer / wine and place is spotless. Highly recommend!

Super atmosphere and good service. Impressive range of drinks and quality is good. Snacks are simple but again of high quality. Would give the Tap 5 stars if it weren't for the uncomfortable seats / benches - would stay there longer too. However all round very good!

Been to this pub around 5 times as near to where we live,cosy pub and husband loves the beer..the only thing that lets it down is the lady whom we presume to be the landlady .In all the visits we've made we have never seen her smile once.She has never made any form of conversation with us even just to say hello.It seems like she only engages in conversation with the locals/regulars..this doesn't make you feel welcome which i thought would be part of her job..nice pub but very unwelcoming..friends of ours stopped going after a couple of visits for the same reason

We were so happy to see a micro pub being introduced in Ashby and when we visited we were not disappointed! Just what Ashby needed! Great decor, wonderful ales and even great wines!

If you are looking for a cracking selection of real ales that are well kept and a warm welcome in a great little pub then be sure to visit the Tap at 76! I called in and will definitely call again - just wish that I could move it to my home town.

Just what Ashby needs such a refreshing change from fast food and charity shops...The micro pub has had a total refurb and a very welcoming little pub with a comfy interior has been born.

If you are into well kept small brewery beer, a warm welcome, an extensive menu of real ales and all at a very reasonable price don't miss The Tap at no 76!

Really good pub but quite small. Got lots of beers/drinks on offer. Can get quite stuffy as its can get crammed on a Fri/Sat night. Its good to support your local breweries though.

I went here with some mates last Friday night. Quiet inside and no music playing so good if you want a chat. Lots of ales on offer but I went for a glass of wine. Seem to be some interesting snacks on offer too.

Love this place. Cosy bar with a great atmosphere and excellent beers. Won't attract the young crowd, but that's just fine with me!

Can't walk down the high street without popping in for a local ale and Pork pie. Great relaxed adult atmosphere!

Great micro pub. Just for adults who appreciate good beer and conversation. It's what the town needed.

Wow....watched the renovation work being done and it seemed to have been stripped right back to the bare bones. It is a triumph....with great attention to detail it`s cosy and comfortable with friendly customer service and a choice of beer which you can try before you buy. We had pork pie and pickles and spent a very relaxing afternoon. Welcome to the Ashby bar scene. PS the toilets are superb!

Lovely cosy bar with roaring log burner down steps towards the rear. Wonderful range of regularly changing craft beers and ciders to choose from, available by the pint, half pint or third pint, so plenty of tasting to be done without getting too sozzled! Unusual nuts and crisps (beware the habanero nuts if you're not a chili hound!), cracking pork pies and Scotch eggs also on offer. Will certainly be a regular haunt - a fantastic, most welcome addition to the High Street in Ashby!

A micro pub, nearby? We just had to try it. Located on Ashby's busy main street, this shop-size pub is a little gem. Superb range of beers and the opportunity to sample three separate thirds of the beers on offer. A great idea. Each of the three were terrific proving that side-by-side tasting is the way to go if you want to tickle your palate. Try to get the seats near to the stylish log burner!

Wow! Fabulous transformation; quality ale, local food (scotch eggs and pork pies, served with pickle etc..) friendly staff and good atmosphere.

We waited in anticipation of this micro pub opening, Ashby has been a Real Ale desert for 30+ years to my knowledge, so full marks to Tollgate Brewery. A thoroughly pleasant place and it will no doubt be very successful. The cask ales on offer over the last 3 weeks have been good quality as you would righfully expect from a brewery tap, the atmosphere is right many of the micr-pub boxes are well and truely ticked. However! I thought my glasses had steamed up when I saw half a dozen Keg Ales on the blackboard. Keg ales (in other words, dead beer) are a no-no in the micro pub movement so this is a surprise. However, better to offer the starved folk of Ashby some Cask Ales that they can't get anywhere else in the town rather than none at all I suppose. I wish this venture every success despite this sin. Still, a very nice touch is the free tea and coffee, the staff are pleasant and the premises have been delightfully restored. The 'feel' is typically Ashby in many ways with a good mix of customers, well-humoured (no lager and shouting you see). This is definitely worth a visit by the Real Ale lover, but I won't be the only one to have a Keggy shock in the first 5 minutes. Look forward hopefully to more Real Ales (there are plenty around these days) to fill up the keg spaces.

Popped in last week to try out Ashbys latest pub. Brilliant selection of drinks available and a great idea to have 1/3 pints available to enable you to try different beers and ciders. Will be going again very soon

From an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. This once run down cafe has been transformed into a Micropub ! The Tap at No.76 has taken the building back to it's architectural and historical best displaying it's nooks and crannies in a low lit atmosphere and offers top range ales from The Tollgate Brewery as well as guest ales. A beer drinkers paradise... with no lager, or kids (hoorah !). One of the best micropubs to have set up in the area in a long time.
