I have always wanted to visit their taproom, but living 7 hours away (one way) was not a convenient day trip. Haha. I was able to make it here today on my way back from Boston. I've had their IPA's in cans, and all of them were on point. Pictured below are the Hopsmoker and  Mindcrawler, both of which were amazing. Citrusy, tropical, juicy, everything you would want in an IPA. The music and atmosphere also add to the experience for its different than most breweries. If you headed to Boston or the surrounding area, make sure to stop here. 🔥👌👍🍻

It was a quiet Sunday morning. Pleasant beer bro atmosphere, with friendly staff, most with impressive beards.  Beer selection was awesome—my beer-drinking kid loved his lager. (I appreciated that there was a can of n/a beer available, but opted for water.) food was tasty—although we ended up only with stuff from the fryer. My kid preferred my chickpea burger to his chicken sandwich, which is high praise from that carnivore… potatoes and fried mushrooms were great. We’ll be back…

5 Stars for brewery itself and 3 Stars for new food menu.
My husband and I have been here a few times and we loved it. It was a bit of a drive for us, but we always planned on having our meal there so to me it was fine, if we had the time. We loved their beer and their food when they had Bone and Bread Kitchen providing their food.

Unfortunately Bone and Bread is gone and the brewery only has pizza and a few other bar snacks, most of which I can't eat. I was very disappointed when I heard this because they had a food menu that was different from the usual pub food. I realize this may have no bearing on the brewery itself, but for us it means we're not making the 45 minute drive there just to get a beer.
This does not mean we won't go back. It means we will definitely stop in when we're in the area, but just for the beer.
Hey, if you like good beer and good service, in a cool atmosphere, and you aren't going to be eating, or if you're fine with pizza, then go for it. Cheers!

We’re from Southern NH and were looking for a new brewery to try out. Always down for a brewery with food. Bonus for a seltzer or sour option. Cool atmosphere and laid back. Staff was great. Food and drink were phenomenal.

Friendly staff. Quiet for a Friday afternoon. Food is tasty. Fried oysters are overcooked in a (probably) too old oil. Very tasty beers tough.

I want to see businesses succeed, but a friend and I sat down at the bar tonight and were ignored by the lone bartender.   He obviously couldn't handle the volume of patrons or keep track of the order in which people arrived.

We left without a drink after the young bartender served a few groups that arrived after us and we watched him pour a plastic cup of foam.  I don't know if the bartender didn't tap the barrel properly or if there's another employee who didn't tap the keg properly.

I hope things get ironed out, but the happy hour experience after work isn't up to par at this tap room.

Nice little beer spot! Part of the bigger food court space.

Great place! You should try their local beer which is almost perfect

We walked in and were promptly seated. The artwork on the walls and interior aesthetic was classy and contemporary. We sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us and served us with smile. It was an overall top notch experience visiting the tip top room this evening. We enjoyed some delicious food and a of couple coctails from the full bar. Whiskey lovers...theres a wide selection! Additionally the number of beers on tap is quite impressive. Very cool spot.

Had a great time at Tip Tap! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, perfect for a night out with friends. The beer selection was impressive, with a nice mix of local brews and unique options you don’t find everywhere. We ordered a few small plates to share—everything was tasty, especially the sliders and truffle fries.

Service was solid overall, though it did take a little while to get our drinks at first. That said, our server was friendly and checked in often once things picked up. The vibe is definitely more on the energetic side, so maybe not the best for a quiet dinner, but ideal if you’re looking for a fun evening.

Would definitely come back!

Such an unfortunate dinning experience, steak frites was so soggy, you could squeeze oil out of the fries pretty much sent them back right after they came out and server took them without asking why and did not get different ones, the steak tasted like they just took it out of the freezer and dumped butter on it to cover it up, huge unnecessary chunks of raw herbs just adding nothing other than a choking hazard, had an upsetting interaction with a staff member just being insensitive and making a comment alluding to my size/consumption of food(even though i hadn’t eaten the meal yet), I paid and spoke to the manager about it after not eating anything except the chicken of of the bao, he handled it super nicely and was very understanding which was pretty much the only redeeming thing about the night, chicken in the bao had good flavor and the slaw was god but the bao was stale and tough, honestly one of the top 3 worst dining experiences I’ve had, was expecting way more from a restaurant where average price of an entree is $30+, i know other people love this place though maybe i caught it on its worst day who knows, not worth it

Upscale is a dramatic description, google. I felt it was a slightly nicer than totally casual pub here. There was a nice long draft menu which was nice. The food seems hit or miss depending on what you get. Mine was pretty weird, didn’t hate it but didn’t love it. Pretty average overall.

Always wanted to come here to sit near the massive open windows and people watch. Glad I finally did it. The environment is electric.

Food was standard American but well seasoned. Lamb burger and calamari were fantastic.

Slight ding for the service. The waiter mixed up my order with another table. Fortunately, the mistake was corrected with no fuss.

Great place I usually come for a night cap or some munchies.  However the pornstar martini was not it... probably why it comes with prosecco.  Our waitress thankfully removed the drink.

We had waffle fries and the chicken nuggets which I highly suggest!

This is a long overdue review, but I held a reception-style birthday party there in the front area in Jan 2025 and everyone still raves about it. The drinks were amazing and the staff was very easy to work with. Our server in particular stood out - I believe his name was Ricardo. He remembered everyone's names and drink orders and came around just when you were finishing to take another order. He was also very personable and really made it feel like a party. It was also one of the more reasonable minimums we came across on our search. I'd recommend Elm St Taproom for anyone looking to host an event on this side of the river!

I've also been here for dinner/drinks and always had great experiences.

The whole thing was mid at best, the food sounded good but the food was bland. It was sustenance, that’s about all I can say about the food Probably some of the worst fish and chips I’ve had. A long brown log of fish that looks like a dookie is probably the most UNAPPEALING thing I’ve ever seen. The service was also mid at best. My fiancé said her burger reminded her of a Wendy’s burger. The mozzarella sticks tasted fishy(?) and the service wasn’t great either. I’ve definitely have had pieces of plain bread that have been MUCH more flavourful than whatever we ate

ASK FOR REESE! Her service was awesome. Food was great and we left totally satisfied. We’ll definitely be back.

Delicious spicy margarita! Food and apps look delicious but we just came for drinks.

Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Trivia on Tuesdays and there is a mug club that you can join but it seems like you have to be very committed!
