Doc's Pad Taphouse

Great selection of beers on tap plus an awesome food menu. Everything was delicious

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks are well poured and reasonably priced. Food is decent bar fare that sometimes ranges into excellent (it's inconsistent, but always at least good). The environment is 75% sports bar/25% dive bar. Clientele runs a range from business people to street folk.

In particular, Jakob is both the best bartender here, but is also one of the more personable folk I've met in the industry.

Update: Doc's had transitioned from a sports/dive bar into a sports bar/pub. They have changed and updated the decor greatly (a vast improvement, in truth), but in honesty the clientele hasn't changed much, the only significant difference is that they pay more for their drinks now. The staff has mostly changed as well, but the current staff still maintains the quality pour and personable nature that helps to maintain a regular customer base (Lisa and Holly are both fantastic humans). The menu is more limited, but I haven't actually had a bad meal in recent months. These cooks know their business.

Full disclosure, I am a daytime patron and cannot much speak to the night and weekend conditions.

The food was good. The draft root beer excellent. Ambiance cool. Service was super slow, pitiful, staff kept complaining how busy they were... I counted 16 patrons at 7 tables or bar or waiting on take out. When one lady asked about killing the pig while waiting on her soup of the day, the bartender sniped back about how busy they were and food is cooked to order.

They've treated our staff well there's their staff are engaging funny respectful and show clear boundaries. Their food drink and atmosphere are Paramount. -Dave Garcia, CEO

One of the only originals left. And do they have some good pulled pork sandwiches.
