On February 12, 2015, Taps Tavern opened in the former location of Starters Pub on Rt. 378, offering a wide variety of American comfort food.

Taps Tavern owner Andy Lee is the owner of the successful Braveheart Highland Pub, located on Main Street in Hellertown, and is very excited about the new location of his new restaurant.

“Our owner has been looking for years to find a new place,” assistant manager Gabriella Lee said. “We opened Braveheart eight years ago and wanted to add something to the valley.”

If you are looking for a wide range of food selections to fit all the comfort necessities, Taps has a great selection. The menu ranges from foods such as chili to a classic American burger. The menu’s variety has been a big hit in the community, and satisfies all types of food lovers.

“The Tuscan chicken melt with mac and cheese bites are two of my favorites on the menu,” hostess Ashley Martins said.

The food style at this restaurant is completely different compared to Lee’s first restaurant. Braveheart’s style of food is more focused on the Irish culture, while Taps brings a new style of American Food.

The overall goal of Lee’s restaurant is to provide a comfortable family atmosphere. When you first sit down, their goal is to make you feel like you are sitting in a second home. The staff also wants to provide the customers with friendly service and a memorable experience.

“Our goal for this restaurant is to make sure we provide our customers with a fun and friendly atmosphere,” Lee said.”We also try to make sure that we hire the friendliest people to be a part of our staff.”
