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 core of everything we do are the values that define Tap Room and shape how we treat our guests, support one another, and grow 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.
We're proud to attract hospitality-driven talent, from those building long-term careers in the industry to those who simply love the work and want to earn extra income doing what they enjoy.
Join the TapFam. Lead with heart. Grow with us.
