Definitely a bar with flair. I liked it from the beginning. A local beauty which connects to the Owl restaurant and is just across the street of so many other pubs, bars and restaurants.Serves a wide selection of wines and beers, liquors, cocktails and more. Daily menu with delicious food or seafood combined with some great traditional stuff.

I have been here 3 times over a few years span. The first time wowed, the second two visits were sub-par. After this last visit I told my husband we don't need to go back there. It's a clean and cozy location. What we have tried there was decent, but the menu options got boring by the third visit. The servers seemed to avoid eye contact and barely smiled to greet us or anyone around us. One table got up and asked to pay for their drinks because no one came by to take their food order in more than 20 minutes, to which neither server immediately apologized.

This is our favorite place to eat in Apalachicola! The duck fries are to die for! And they have a wonderful beer selection. Great atmosphere too!

Our go-to spot for a beer and pub fare. Many beers on tap including most of the Oyster City offerings and an interesting selection of other craft beers. Little known fact; you can get a dozen oysters and some of the best fried shrimp in town....

After a long hot day on the boat, The tap room is an awesome spot for Sunday dinner. Always great seafood. It's a little loud if you don't mind. A lot of character to the place and characters as customer's, lol.

Great spot to hangout, and grab some terrific food and drinks. We initially got fish n chips and a salad to-go, but the folks at the brewery said we had to go back over and try a few more things, so we did, and are really glad we did! All the food options we tried were excellent, with generous portions and reasonable prices. The drinks were good too, especially the house sangria.

Excellent little gastropub-type place. The fried oysters and crab dip are both incredible! Right across the street from Oyster City Brewing Company, and they carry many of their beers.

Loved the tuna dip, so yummy! Pasta was tasty and veggies were fresh and perfectly cooked, husband had oysters, he gave thumbs up, nice local beer available, as well as cocktails, indoor and a few outdoor spots where you can bring your dog. Nice place.

Great beers, some from right across the street. Food was delicious and a place definitely worth trying if you're a bit of a foodie. They have the seafood of course, but then they have some nicer items that's a little different than what you find in most local eateries. Only critique would be, we had the crab dip, and while it was still pretty good, I thought the anchor chili powder or whatever chili seasoning that was in it, was a little overpowering. Crab is really delicate and that's not a flavor that I would normally add to crab, it was still good, think it would have been better without that one ingredient though.

Great spot, the menu is adapted from the adjacent Owl Café and offers oysters, bar food, salads, and yes, a vegan jambalaya for folks like me. The beer selection from the Oyster City Brewing Company across the street is outstanding. The servers are attentive, fast and friendly. Great place, we will definitely make it a must visit place in beautiful Apalachicola.

We had mostly appetizers. The duck fat fries needed just a little something. The goat cheese was best. The beer selection, however, is on point. As a visitor I highly reccomend the Hooter Brown

Fantastic restaurant. Facilities are very clean, the decor makes for a romantic but casual atmosphere, and the food is absolutely divine. I had the oysters for an appetizer, then the salmon for dinner. It is fresh, never frozen, and melts in your mouth. For dessert, Veronica recommended the key lime cheesecake, and it was absolutely to die for.The facilities were clean, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Veronica is a star. Super polite, happy to help us with the menu, knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, absolutely a diamond and I can't sing her praises enough.Overall, absolutely beautiful restaurant in an amazing location. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Great place for brew and appetizer meal. Order the Duck Fries, they are a must. You get the Owl Cafe quality food at dive bar prices. The Tap Room is one of our must-stop places when visiting The Forgotten Coast. The local brew selection is HUGE and the food is awesome. Service can vary, but it's part of the schtick that goes with the place.

The best place to grab a drink with bar food in Franklin County. The food is very high-quality. The service is out of this world, and the atmosphere is great. I am a local and this is my favorite place to grab a burger in Franklin County. Wide selection of drinks and it’s very comfortable. Large TVs to watch games. I highly recommend this place. Not a fan of crab dip, but they have the best crab dip in the world. I get it every time.

Cannot get enough of this place! This little hole in the wall has amazing ambience, a great beer selection, and spectacular food! Dive in to an amazing juicy burger, or try the alligator sausage with grit cake and creole tomato sauce. You really can't go wrong no matter what you choose. From starters to finish it's all good.
