Family traditions vary from one place to another, but one thing is for certain, everybody loves their son. And their Son of Juice. There’s a reason it’s the #1 seller on our extensive tap. Cheers, .rafeedie !🍻

We had a great time watching the ponies run for the roses yesterday! There were fascinators, bow ties and mint juleps (as well as plenty of baseball caps, hoodies, beers) and of course lots of delicious barbecue. What fun to see Golden Tempo win - a long shot trained by the first woman trainer to ever win the Kentucky Derby. Cheers to Cherie DeVeaux! Join us next weekend to celebrate other incredible women - the moms and mothering people in your life. No reservations needed for our Mother’s Day brunch - we have a wonderful brunch menu with cocktails specials too, starting at 10am. 🎀🌹🥂

Happy 1st Birthday, Haven! 🥳

What does it feel like to be in Pit&Tap? The vibe is definitely a fun hometown-hangout-with-friends. And if you don’t know anyone when you walk in, you’ll probably walk out having met a friendly face - be it at the bar, seated at the booth next to you or soak up some sunshine together on the patio this spring. And of course, there’s our Pit Crew too, always welcoming and with casual yet attentive service. Join us for Karaoke night, usually the first Thursday of every month, but due to the holidays and spring break, we are hosting it TOMORROW night! See you there, friends, and friends we just haven’t met yet! Come find your third place. ❤️
