About This Pub
Ah, The Tap & Tonic – it's one of those places that really knows how to mix up a cracking cocktail, isn't it? I've heard from folks who've been regulars that it's stepped up a notch under the new ownership, with inventive drinks like the Biscoff one stealing the show and staff often going the extra mile to ensure you're having a top time. The atmosphere is just right for a casual get-together or even something a bit special like their bottomless brunch, and it's nestled in the heart of Grantham, making it easy to pop in after a wander around. On the flip side, though, it's not all smooth sailing; there are times when the service feels a tad flat, or you might end up in a less desirable spot that dampens the mood, and not every drink is a winner – that sour mocktail sounds like a bit of a letdown. Overall, it's worth a visit if you're after a good vibe and some tasty tipples, but keep in mind it might not be perfect every time, so maybe go with low expectations for the little niggles and focus on the fun bits.

Cons
-
Service can be hit or miss; one visit might feel a bit lacklustre, like being shown to a table without much enthusiasm, which takes the edge off.
-
Some drinks, like certain mocktails, might not hit the spot and could be overly sour, leaving you wishing for a bit more balance.
-
There have been mentions of less than ideal seating arrangements, such as being tucked away in a back room, which doesn't always make for the best first impression.

Really nice selection of cocktails and lovely staff. We’ve been coming to t&t for a long while but have found it is much improved under new ownership. Some fantastic new drinks on the menu-staff were very attentive and often asking how everything was. Drinks were bought over as soon as they were made. Can’t wait to come back soon. Tap and tonic is the only place we come for cocktails!!!
Got thrown in a back room on arrival like some feral animals got shown to out table by someone that was as enthusiastic as a wet lettuce, got first round of drink i had a mocktail that was as sour as the great mountains of sourness and to top it off my dear friend has woken up this morning with swollen eyelids!!! Apart from that would highly recommend 👌
Family run bar and an amazing place for drinks! Biscoff cocktail is definitely one to try. Lovely friendly staff & perfect atmosphere.
Only quickly stopped off for two cocktails, but they were two of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. we went in for some happy hour drinks and got the lotus Biscoff cocktail and it was incredible. Staff was super friendly and the service was prompt and helpful. The vibrant atmosphere that they created with all of the decor and everything was really cool and to know that this was a family run cocktail bar with over 60 cocktails to choose from was also quite interesting. Definitely worth checking out if in town.
Had a lovely relaxed evening here, from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a welcoming atmosphere with great staff, decor, good music, and an amazing selection of drinks.
Will absolutely return in future if we are passing through.
