Keep your eyes peeled DePauw! A new sit-down restaurant and bar, Tap House Grill, plans to open for business in the summer of 2016. To be located at 24-26 S, Indiana Street, this innovative joint prides itself on producing “addictive food and creative brews,” with fresh, homestyle quality meals and unique handcrafted beers on tap.
The desire to build a restaurant that would truly relish a tasty, healthy, and one of a kind dining experience was first thought of in the fall of 2015. Tap House Grill became official on November 11, 2016 with its first establishment in St, Charles, Illinois. Since the initial opening, Tap House Grill has expanded its locations in Illinois to Des Plaines, Lemont, Oswego, Palatine, Plainfield, Westmont, Greencastle will be the first opening in Indiana.
Although confirmation from the Dora Hotel Company was not received, an online article posted on February 24, 2016, at Banner-Graphic, written by editor Eric Bernsee, speaks only positively about the new up and coming business.
Receiving an undivided vote by the Downtown Greencastle Alcoholic Beverage License Application Committee, the restaurant plans of, Tap House Grill, will undergo a court hearing with the Greencastle City Council to acquire official consent for the construction project (Bernsee). The Dora Hotel Company, the well known hotel management and development firm that owns the Inn at DePauw, will supervise the internal construction work necessary for this restaurant's reality.
Greencastle residents will be happy to know the hours of operation are expanded compared to other restaurants in town: Sunday - Thursday 11 am to 10 pm and 11 am to 11pm on Friday and Saturday. Even though the kitchen will close, the bar will continue to serve until 12 am Sunday - Wednesday and 2 am Thursday - Saturday (Bernsee).
The mouthwatering menu of crispy-fried pickles, award-winning wings, Sprecher root beer-braised beef & gouda, the king kobe burger, fish & chips, tacos, and desserts will leave you completely full and anxious to come back and try something new! There is a wide array of beverages as well - signiture cocktails, wine, margaritas, martinis, on tap beer, sodas, lemonade, and sweet tea… everyone is able to quench their individual thirst accordingly.
