Downtime Taps

Genius idea of the self-serve style. Tomas, who is one of the owners, gave my sister and I one of the best customer service experiences out there. As someone who currently works at Starbucks and previously at a winery, I know how much of a difference it makes. 10/10, Recommending to friends, coworkers, and random people I meet. I will be back. Thanks Tomas

Visiting Downtime Taps is a unique experience - you pour your own libations from a wide selection of brews, wines, and ciders. Thirty-two taps line two walls, and you may sample as many as you'd like. Feel free to pour small samples here, as you are given a bracelet when you check in that tracks what you pour by the ounce. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable. There is a covered outdoor space as well as the nicely decorated inside. If you get hungry, Coconut Kenny's is conveniently located a couple of doors down; you can bring the food in to enjoy with your drinks. The cost can be a bit pricey but the cost per ounce is listed on the display screen for each tap. Overall, Downtime Taps is a great place to relax and enjoy a new or favorite brew, wine, or cider.

I love this idea so much and I'm so happy to have something fun and different in Ferndale. The variety is pretty good, they had five ciders on tap and you don't find that anywhere. It's really nice to poor your own rather than having to order a flight to taste everything you want and it's a great opportunity to taste things you wouldn't usually buy. Good seating, fun patio and cozy fire. Fun vibe with a selection of games to play. The only thing that would improve this place is a menu of high quality snacking food.
