Such a laid back bar. You will need to have a membership… but this place is fun while still being “less rowdy”. And it’s right behind Cheers, where everybody knows your name! Give it a shot… or two!

A very unique blend of patrons come here. People from all walks of life come, drink, relax, and sing on karaoke nights. After living in the area my whole life, this is the only place I really love to go. Every one is always friendly and the staff is amazing. You will always have a good time at the Trap!

Was in town visiting family. We decided to go out. Stopped a couple other places in the area and none of them where this good. The others where loud and in your face. The Sand Tap was mature and fun place to just have fun and sing Karaoke. It was perfect. We definitely will be back when we come in town again.

Great place, wonderful, happy people. New Owners are often on site, karaoke, pool table, outdoor patio, soon to be cigar sales and lockers, the return of a friendly, pub that provides the best service and warm, kind patrons and staff. If you want to relax, laugh and meet people you must visit and often.

Fantastic local spot. Bar tenders are quick, knowledgeable, and friendly. From my multiple experiences there, most of all, the people are friendly and will engage in a conversation with you. Karaoke, pool table, and bar hook game inside. Smoke or chill spot on the front patio area.

Great local owned bar. If I had to rate any bar in town safe for an out of town traveller to enjoy a drink after work and smoke a cigar on their patio, I would say this is the place to be other than Ansteads or Paddy's - also excellent places. Cut to the chase, great bartenders, friendly crowd and great place to enjoy a nice cigar. They also sell cigars too, just need to smoke outside please.

Nice people. Good service. Fun place. I needed some company, from out of town and i ended up chatting and having the best time to just meet people. It was a nice time/place to just laugh and talk music, work, fun and just to relax. I very much enjoyed my time.
