Training on point, but unexpectedly welcoming and friendly environment for a chain. Holds a high standard so the team is always strong. Great place to work in the summer, massive patio.

A typical day at tap for me was getting in 45 minutes to an hour before shift a day sitting down at the bar to grab some food before shift then working hard all shift with a great group of people. Often times after shift coworkers and I would either sit at the bar and have a few drinks together or go out together downtown.

Not a bad place to work, location is great, tips are okay

Pros: Very flexible, can select the number of shifts you get and can usually pick up or drop shifts at ease. Early finish, unless you are the closer, always busy, fun place to work at times. Customers are pretty chill.

Cons: Revolving door of staff, management seems to change hands every couple of months and adapting to new management styles consistently is sort of frustrating. Training provided is very poor if you are new to the industry. Can be overwhelmingly busy at times, especially weekends in the summer.

Generally a really positive work environment, great location and chill guests! It gets really busy and sometimes chaotic so it can be stressful, but so is any serving/bartending job. I gained a lot of great experience at this location and also gained a group of friends for life. Can't get much better than that. If you're up for some hard work with a decent pay off, join Tap and Barrel.

You should probably apply

The spot is prime on False Creek, hours are not too late due to noise restrictions in Olympic Village, customers are chill and so is the dress code, the place is almost always busy, the team is one big friends group. Apply if you're reading this.
