Getting food ordered at the same time only for the meals to come out at all different times on a non busy time of the day is unacceptable. The staff don't look like they want to be there. Makes the experience a crappy one

The place is ok. Nothing magnificent. Would say the food was mouth watering, but was good enough. I had the fish and chips but the chips were a bit soggy which was disappointing and the fish wasn't served with tartare sauce, had to ask for that. My friend ordered a pasta which was cooked soft enough, the pasta still felt a bit raw and the sauce was a bit too sour. But nonetheless , quite a chilled relaxing place, good for a catch up

Approximate cost: $25

Been here on two seperate occassion; once for dinner and another for a private catered event. Both times were stock standard what you would expect. Food is good but with no wow factor, staff are adequate at their jobs but don't go that extra mile, and the settings I don't personally find to my taste. I get the feel this is more of a 'just the boys' kind of venue. Probably good if you are your mates are into drinking, golf and other sports.

We've only eaten in the bar, not the restaurant, it's a great setting in the atrium. The food is pretty much no thrills, not bad but not memorable. The driving range is good fun. Nice enough pub.

Approximate cost: $20

We booked a birthday dinner here for my sister. One of my family members has a disability and I know that to some young, inexperienced staff she might not seem like the most fun person to serve. But because we didn't choose the most expensive items on the menu after a lot of prodding and hinting and terrible annoying up-selling (because some of us were going out afterwards and didn't want to eat so much that we would fall asleep, and because my elderly grandparents would never have eaten such huge things) and because we were a bit more difficult to accommodate because of my family member with a disability, the service and attitude we received were so off-putting that I won't return.

The food was good and the room was nice, but there are fine dining restaurants with similar menu prices and with much more dignified service.

The one thing missing on this menu was the milk of human kindness!

I really like the food here. There's the more upmarket restaurant and then there's the more casual dine-in experience. Love the casual dining tables with swing seats. Just adds to the dining experience. A bit on the pricey side I thought though.

This is a really fun place. They have a driving range on top, and you can also have your meal at a table with swinging chairs. They also make lovely food and have good staff.

An outstanding dining experience. I am not a golfer at all, but the driving range is awesome. They've gone to a whole new level to exploit the TAP in TapIn.
Tap fountains are great
Novelty Beer Taps
The Obvious Tap/put golf reference
strong TAPpas menu - Ive got to elaborate here, the tappas menu is enough to eat as your entire main meal. it gives a great opportunity to go with a group, order an assorted selection of foods, and each have a bit of each. Excellent way to sample a few things you may not have tried before, or makes things simple for the indecisive!
Highly recommended - on the MUST VISIT list

Really cool themed pub. Have eaten in both the pub area and the restaurant, both of which are very good. Elegant restaurant with the coolest loos you've ever seen - never thought I'd be writing about toilets, but they need to be checked out (they've even won awards - the toilets that is). The food is also really good, varied menus and the service is usually good.

Interesting venue with several themes running throughout the place. Birdies restaurant was a pleasant place to spend a few hours. Staff were very friendly but also difficult to catch. The main means (for a table of 6) took well over an hour to be delivered. One meal came out first and 40 minutes later the remaining 5 meals were delivered. Food was extraordinary and my adult son complained that his was the best meal he had ever eaten. Work on speeding up the service and you'll have a perfectly respectable up market hotel.

Approximate cost: $30

Good words said about this place on WOMOW - I headed there to see what the fuss was about. Beautiful surrounds, friendly helpful staff... and I ordered the chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce that tasted fab. Also, service was good because we had lemon bitters that didnt taste quite right and we were very quickly given a replacement with no fuss. excellent stuff.

My experience of the tap in (birdies restaurant) was not a good one. While the venue is fabulous and the bar is great for Friday or Saturday night drinks - the food and service I received was significantly below par (pardon the pun!).

Sunday lunch of simple pub food (burger and ribs) seems in my mind to be quite an easy menu to pull off. Service was extremely disjointed and quite slow (we had a plane to catch and waited around 40 minutes for two meals). The music outside was way too loud and we received little attention from waiting staff.

I had the burger which was on the whole very plain. For the price I would have expected something a little better - many local bars and pubs are able to do a great burger with quality ingredients, can deliver it more quickly and charge a lot less. I understand now that there was a salad bar where I could have got more salad for my burger (i.e. there was no lettuce or tomato) but after waiting in line to place an order, then waiting 40 mins to receive the order, I wasn't keen to get back up and find the salad bar to find a few salad greens that in my opinion belong on every burger! The ribs were fine but nothing to rave about either unfortunately - and again the presentation was somewhat lack luster.

Perhaps we went on a bad day - but from this experience I would not bother going back to find out. I was disappointed as this used to be a venue I enjoyed going to. But my first dining experience here will definitely be my last. Head along for drinks and a hit of golf but i wouldn't stay for dinner - sorry guys!

Party of 8 and we had a great time. The food was PLENTIFUL, hot and swapping basics for a meal wasn't too much trouble at all for them. Also, it tasted great!!! Service was a bit slow in the drinks department, but they were very busy. For those drinking water, there was plenty available and it was COLD. Recommended for a good night out.

Approximate cost: $24

Lots of nice looking guys here! Also very nice decor, a bit like an English pub in some areas. They also have a lovely selection of cute cupcakes and tiny slices in an area out the back so if you feel like something sweet but don't want to hurt the waistline, try one of their lovely slices or sweets with a coffee.

I really enjoyed my visit to Tap Inn and loved the different themes within the pub. My meal was enjoyable and well priced, but I loved the Chocolate Shop and Cafe. I had a ball drinking a really good latte, eating a slice of awesome cheesecake and watching people on the indoor driving range. Only problem was that I nearly had coffee come out my nose from laughing as a person on the driving range took a giant swing at the ball and missed in a big way!

Love coming here for a casual dinner and drinks with friends. It's a different and relaxing environment with the indoor golf range making it unique. Although the menu has changed and doesn't offer as many options, the food and service is still great.

Fantastic meals. Options of 2 different eating areas, with different price tags. We ate in the more casual area, which had nice wooden tables and benches. Tapas meals are great and allow sharing between friends. Service was fantastic and prices were acceptable.

The food was FANTASTIC and the setting was great! The 'Tapas style' of the meals is a brilliant idea and turned turn a great dinner into an incredible evening! The staff are lovely and went out of their way to make sure we had a great night! (even tracking down bits of the recipes for us!) Would heartily recommend it to anyone near Adelaide and will certainly be going back again!

Great place for a Christmas work function. Have a play of golf followed by evening meal. Enables partners of work mates to chat in a playful and relaxed environment before sitting down for dinner. Great food. Fun environment.

What an interesting place to be. The restaurant is really nice with so many things to look at. The food was delicious - great to get the shared platters to try all the different things. Nice touches with the golfing experiences to be had.

This is one of the most unique pubs I've ever been to. It's most unique feature is an indoor driving range where you can have a shot of golf before dinner. The décor in the restaurant is simply beautiful. It's split over various levels and there's so much to look. There's a lot of lovely nooks and crannys where you can have your meal or have a drink.

They have a great menu with lots of tapas type food. There's a separate area just for dessert and there's no shortage of choice there.

The meals are well priced, service is quick and the atmosphere is lovely.
