Going
along with the latest fad Taps 42 is a new gastropub featuring beer on
tap--yes, here there are 42--$11 burgers, $9 grilled cheese sandwich,
basically over-priced food but the food isn't why you come here . There are
TVs all around but these are a lot smaller than in other places. There
is a large outdoor eating and drinking area and when you enter the
restaurant proper there is a long, dark wood bar with the 42 taps in the
wall and a full liquor bar. On the opposite side are two long rows of
high bar tables and stools and, like the rest of the place, made in dark
woods along with an industrial look.

Allen
had the grilled "Three Piggy" cheese with tillammok cheddar, country
ham, roasted pork butt, pecan smoked bacon, tomato and chipolte on
sourdough bread ($9) and a diet coke ($3).  I had the specialty "The
Prohibition" burger which is the Taps42 burger blend with tillamook
cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and onions, pecan smoked bacon, secret
sauce, Dijon mustard, ketchup and brioche ($11) and coffee $4!) All
sandwiches come with fries and, I should have known better, when she
asked if I would rather have the sweet potato fries I said, "Yes." I was
surprised to see a $1 charge on the bill for the fries as no where on
the menu, nor did the server mention it, was there anything about a
charge for substituting sweet potato fries.

For
the two of us the check, including tax and a 20% tip, came to $35.68 I
am just getting use to $11 burgers but I am fighting those $18 per for
lunch!!!

A very 'industrial' manly looking men's room--and clean!
