Tap99 will open the week of August 9th, Tap99 will be the first fully self-pour taphouse in Washington D.C.

Tap99’s kitchen will focus on artisan pizzas made in a handcrafted Marra Forni brick oven, in addition to other small and shareable plates that include maple buffalo shrimp and tuna poke nachos.
