Downtown Tavares · Since 2015
Brü Tap House
A craft beer bar, not a brewery. Thirty rotating taps with a heavy Florida focus, 150+ packaged beers, wine, and craft sodas. Trivia on Wednesdays, vinyl on Thursdays.
Checking…
Loading tonight’s hours.
Always rotating
The list changes constantly
That is the point. We do not brew — we pour other people's, and we are picky about whose. Thirty lines with a heavy Florida focus, turning over as kegs blow. Behind them sit 150+ packaged beers, wine, craft sodas, and non-alcoholic options.
- Hoppy
- Dark Side
- Cider & Oddities
Thirty lines, turning over as kegs blow, so the list you saw last week is already gone. What is pouring tonight is on the board above the bar.
Checking before you drive over? The live list is also on Untappd — opens in a new tab.

12:00 – 4:00 PMThe food question
No kitchen. Still plenty to eat.
Brü is a tap house, not a restaurant — there is no kitchen behind our bar. There is one at the front of the building, and it feeds us. Here is how it works.
Wednesday through Sunday
BTW is the front of this building. Order from their kitchen and it comes to your table at Brü — burgers, tacos, waffles, cheese curds — every day we are open. Drink local, eat local.
Every day we are open
Kitchen service runs the whole time we are pouring. It closes before we do, so order before last call if you want food.
The room
A fun and cozy place to hang out
Poured for you
Thirty lines, and someone behind the bar who knows all of them.
Regulars
Ten years in, and most nights the staff know the order before you sit down.
Wine too
A full wall of it, for anyone who did not come for the beer.
Board games
A shelf of them, free to pull down any night we are open.
Outdoor seating
A patio out the back, off Main.
The room, built by hand
The bar, the pallet-wood stools, the farmhouse tables, the tap system itself. Craig and Rebecca built the place in 2015.
Next to City Hall
Just off Main in downtown Tavares.
How this started
We built it ourselves
In early 2015 Craig and Rebecca both had corporate jobs and a short list of ideas: an animal rescue, a micro-brewery, or a craft beer tap house. They spent their weekends visiting breweries and taprooms, and what won them over was not the beer. It was the people — an industry where one brewery lends another the hops to keep brewing. They chose the tap house, so they could pour everyone's.
Working from online photos, YouTube, advice from anyone who would give it, and some construction experience, we built everything from the ground up. The bar. The pallet-wood stools. The thirty-tap system. Everything code did not require a contractor for.
Most of our friends had never held a nail gun. By the time we finished, they were all professionals.
Within the first year the landlord asked if we wanted the front units for a restaurant. That became BTW.
