A Perfect Beer, Every Time
Your favorite draft beers taste better at the Wood-n-Tap than they do anywhere else. It’s a bold statement, but we know we can back it up. How? By installing a proprietary draft system called PerfecTap™. The first-of-its-kind innovation was specifically designed for the Wood-n-Tap restaurants to ensure each individual beer tastes exactly the way the brewer intended.

The Secret Of Restaurant Success: Build, Brand, Repeat
Wood-n-Tap and the Hartford Restaurant Group were recently featured in the Hartford Business Journal. Here's a taste: "...the Hartford Restaurant Group has quickly expanded from one location to seven in the span of just five years, finding two or three formulas and then repeating those in different towns. It started with four friends — Phil Barnett, Mike Hamlin, Ken McAcoy and Wil Quijano — opening the first Wood-n-Tap restaurant on Hartford’s Sisson Avenue in 2002. In the five years since, the group has opened three more Wood-n-Tap restaurants (in Farmington, Rocky Hill and Southington) and taken on new partners to open Agave Grill and Vaughan’s Public House, both in Hartford. The decision to expand was made quickly, within a year, when the founders realized Wood-n-Tap had hit upon a formula that worked and worked well. It was decided to replicate the success at subsequent locations. “We kind of just knew it early on that this could work,” Barnett said."

Tapping A Winning Formula
The Hartford Courant recently reviewed our new Rocky Hill location. Here's a taste: The newest Tap in Rocky Hill, open a little over a month, mines the same winning formula that have made successes in Hartford, Farmington and Southington: Good, filling, reasonably priced food in a casual, friendly setting. But there's something more than that basic premise at work at Wood-n-Tap (after all, anyone can pretty much flip a burger and toss a Caesar salad). What Wood-n-Tap honchos have done is create egalitarian environments where diners of all stripe feel at home. Black or white, gay or straight, old or young, Democrat or Republican, wealthy or just getting by - all of these opposites and everyone in between feel comfortable calling Wood-n-Tap their own. It's an insanely simple premise, yet one that few restaurants, especially fledgling chains, are able to achieve consistently. That the Taps pull this off day in and day out is nothing short of miraculous.
