taphouse

Draught beer venue

A taphouse is an establishment that serves beer on tap, typically offering a wide selection of draft beers.

The term emphasizes the tap system over bottled options and often suggests a casual atmosphere focused on craft or specialty beers: The new taphouse downtown has twenty local brews on draft.

Taphouse overlaps with bar, pub, and alehouse but carries a slightly more beer-centric connotation.
