Reviews for TAP24 Bar & Grill in Long Beach, CA
I think this place is having a bit of an identity crisis... Food was great, evening atmosphere was wine tasting bar meets,... higher class dining, meets low level hole in the wall sports bar (without the sports) There were 2 tables with diners when wegot there, we waited about 5 minutes to be seated and after about 10 minutes sitting at our booth, the bartender came over toask if anyone had helped us. They hadn't so she took our order. She was our only point of contact for the rest of the eveningand yes she was tending bar the entire time. Send to mostly be local bar people just sitting and drinking for the most part,older crowd. They have 3 very small televisions on the wall, it was Sunday night during a football game but there were no sportson any of them, one was playing Modern Family. Not a bad show but a strange dinner companion. I can't speak for the kitchenstay other than the food was great. The bartender was a rock star and kept the bellies at the bar content and serviced ourtable every chance she could get away from there bar. There was another girl pretty much handling everything else on the floor,the rest of the staff on the floor never did anything related to the restaurant while we were there. There was a younger guythat just held a cloth, watched the bartender from the distance while standing near the televisions. The girl that seated usstood near the kitchen counter and did absolutely nothing for our entire visit... The two workers that were working, workedtheir butts off the entire time. It was such a strange experience that it actually was pretty intriguingly entertaining. Lovedthe menu, loved the food and the bartender is a rockstar! Read more
We used to come out here when it was the marketplace grill cafe and loved the food. However, we saw it was named differently... with old pictures of good ol marketplace. Not sure when the name of the business changed but it definitely isn't the samequality of food and you'll see images of food mainly from the Marketplace. Images from a year ago still are marketplace. I'massuming this year it changed. It's far from that quality of food. We thought we'd give it a try and were very disappointed. Iordered the Asian chicken salad, posted a picture of it. Chicken had no flavor,no wontons, and seemed like chicken was frozen.And my boyfriend had the chicken risotto and same problem with the chicken which was doused in mayo and risotto was rice,veggies were not seasoned. Tasteless dinner. We didn't finish our food. I ended up picking the chicken out of my salad and justhad lettuce with dressing. Not happy with our dinner and it was close to $50 for our dinner. I'd skip this spot. Read more
This place is both a hidden gem and an institution. It?s so delicious and they make all their own dressings and you can tell... they put that level of effort into all their food. The quality and taste is excellent. Read more
Always have a great experience here. Jason is getting this restaurant in to top shape. Food is very good, 24 beers on tap,... excellent cocktails served by a wonderful and proficient staff. I come here every week! Lots of TVs in the bar for sportswatching. Love this neighborhood spot!! Read more
I never leave reviews but i had to share what my sister and i experienced at this restaurant today. we?ve visited here multiple... times before covid with no issues so we decided to come back for some dinner. she orders a pasta that grossed her out so much tothe point where she lost her appetite because of how ?chewy? and frozen the chicken in her pasta tasted. i ordered a sandwichthat came chopped up into 4, while eating my third piece i noticed on the piece i didn?t touch, there was a hair sticking out ofit! needless to say we lost our appetite. thankfully we didn?t have to pay for anything, but the service could?ve been better asno one came to check on us at all, we had to wave down our waiter just to return the pasta and then had to call over the host sothey could take back the sandwich. disappointing to say the least.

Friendly service, a good variety of food and drinks. Wings are a huge disappointment for a wings fan. If you order different... types of dishes expect one or more to be slightly cold. Hummos isn't the best, for someone who is familiar with the authentictaste. The chicken avo panini is very delightful and meat skewers are nice if they are freshly made. Read more
Great food, service could be a little better. Good amount of employees but they always seem too busy... to return to your table... to check if everything is okay.The food is great. The Panini's, the past, and the ribeye steak salad are the best things there.What I didn't like is pigeons swarming the outside tables. Very unsanitary. I stepped out to go use the restroom, and pigeonswere all over my food Read more
Had dinner here tonight. It is a neighborhood restaurant for us so we went. Someone else mentioned they are having an identity... crisis and boy were they right. Got the fish and chips and the fish was undercooked the first time. They replaced it for us butit was still super greasy, frozen fish. I got the chicken panini but replaced the bread with the focaccia bread. This wasdefinitely not focaccia bread. It was crazy hard pita bread that was more of a hockey puck than bread, it was so hard. Will notbe going back until they figure themselves out. Read more
