Tap Room began in 2011 with two bartenders—James Bonanno and David Johnson—who shared a vision: to build more than just a bar, but a place where great food, craft beer, and genuine hospitality brought people together. What started as a single neighborhood spot in Patchogue has grown into a fast-growing hospitality group with multiple locations across Long Island, known for its welcoming vibe, strong team culture, and consistent guest experience.

Our mission is simple: To be your local gathering place for real food and craft beer—to meet friends and make new ones.

At the heart of Tap Room is a commitment to our core values. These are more than words on a wall—they guide how we treat our guests, how we show up for each other, and how we build our teams:

• Quality – In all that we do.
  
  

• Hospitality – Delivering experience.
  
  

• Pride – Care about what you do and be proud of your actions.
  
  

• Teamwork – Being there for each other to achieve our goals.
  
  

• Say Yes – Decision-making to be accommodating to everyone in our business.
  
  

As part of Upstream Hospitality Group, Tap Room continues to expand—bringing our culture, values, and sense of community to more neighborhoods every year. We’re always looking for team members who bring energy, pride, and a passion for hospitality. Whether you're looking for your next step or just getting started, there's a place for you here.
