Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer:
SoHo NYC in the 80’s and 90’s. Our ‘hood was one of squeegee men and subway tags. Of working artists in spattered studios. Of boomboxes, blasting Run DMC, Tribe, De La Soul. It was a legendary neighborhood - of art, and of craft. Where just walking down the street was an immersive experience.
Black Tap is keeping that timeless NYC vibe alive, all over the world. Everything you see, taste, hear and feel - is fresh, fun and familiar. Full of the street art we love. The music we live for. The fun-to-be-with people who bring it, every day.
And the food? Well, the food’s just off the hook. We’ve got an A-list of legendary burgers that sweep awards like Meryl Streep. Outrageous CRAZYSHAKE® that nearly break the internet on a regular basis. Wings that wow with flavor. Veggie options that raise the game. And, of course, a beer list worthy of our name.
We’ve grown a lot from our first “OG” spot on SoHo’s Broome Street. We’re rocking more iconic spaces in NYC, the Vegas strip, Disneyland, Bahrain, Kuwait, Singapore, Switzerland, the UAE, and many more in the works. Despite being in very different cities and cultures, we share one singular vision: We aim to deliver so much more than a dope meal. We bring a full-on experience. A photo op. A memory. A rare moment of awesome.
