Oh the signage just screams amateur and temporary. If at first you don't succeed ... rebrand. I expect sometime in the future the signage will have to prominently feature UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.

They're abandoning the sports bar niche and moving to a more difficult, and probably more competitive market. Cavern is right across the street for those that like wine and cheese.

Walking around the last two days I've noticed a lot of places looking and feeling much better overall.
However, Jasper Avenue from 100-104st is pretty bad looking, feeling and not representative of what we want this place to be.
Also, I still see a lot of very obvious gang/crime happenings in and around the area that would be nice to breakup.

Places like Rice Howard Place (I know there's construction) and the old EPCOR site are empty.

I walked past the tap crap room today and I am wondering why there's 2 wine glasses next to the logo, when I am guessing they probably aren't going to have wine "on tap". Or maybe they are... there's just a lot to unpack here.

That's why all of us on here could probably make a killing consulting to hapless folks like the owner's of said "Tap Room." We would have all recommend that the word - "TAP" conveys images of "BEER TAPS," and NOT wine and/or anything related to wine. A more reasonable image would have been one of a classic "BEER STEIN," we would all agree on, although it would still be a terrible sign and concept.

Poor location choice IMO and I'd love to know some of the metrics on this versus the rather significant investment.

In fairness, boxed wine does indeed have a tap (or at least a spigot).

I know you're all excited, so I have good news for you - The Tap Room has a website and here is there menu: https://www.thetaprooms.com/menu
Apparently the non-plural URL was taken, but does it really matter at this point... or maybe they are just preparing for their expansion of locations?
If you were expecting a simplified menu, you were wrong. How about an expanded menu! When you went to SlapShot, were you thinking to yourself "Man, this is great, but I really wish they had grilled salmon on the menu?". Well, your wish has come true. Or you could go for their Penne Alfredo with Shrimp. Me personally though, I think I will just stick to the $12 giant pretzel with cheese sauce.
And if you're longing for the good old days of SlapShot (remember all the memories?), don't fret, you can still grab a "Slap Shot Burger" or a "Slap Shot Cobb Salad" or a "Slap Shot Berry Cheesecake" or even some "Slap Shot Wings".
Oh, and the fake Google reviews have already begun again, just like last time with SlopShot. Even though it's not open, it's got 5 stars!

They don't serve Guinness from the tap, and their selection of microbrews is almost non-existent.
I'll pass.
