A loyal Disher snapped a photo this morning. Henderson Tap House, “a full-service sports bar,” is going into the space formerly known as Horne & Dekker and Snack. The website says:
Known for our vibrant nightlife with live entertainment, Legendary Happy Hour Parties, a Gastro Pub infused Menu, and Late Night Brick Oven Pizzas, Henderson Tap House also boasts a huge selection of local and craft beers, your favorite local spirits, and our housemade speciality [sic] cocktails. Whether you stop by for a drink, dinner, or to let loose and party, you are always welcome at Tap House! Come visit our extra-large covered patio and our 7000 sq. ft. sports bar with a vast amount of TV’s to watch your favorite team.
Here’s an interesting spin on a sports bar: A dress code. Dig it: “If you entered before 9pm and are out of dress code you may be asked to leave.” Interesting for a spot with an “I’d tap that” tagline. I take it tiny dresses are encouraged. For the rest of you, the guidelines for dismissal are below.
Update: Tim McEvilly, managing partner of Henderson Tap House sends this note:
We deserved to be called out for posting that dress code online. We are just opening and our website is a work in progress and are built with carried over information that we keep or get rid of which is no excuse, and we had already planned to take that information down, completely. Now that your story has come out we are taking care of that, immediately!
Though we don’t think we are in the wrong for having a dress code or even the extent that is but we do understand we don’t need to have it posted on our website and is really only for management and security to handle. We don’t want a dress code to be the focus of what we are bringing to the Henderson Ave. area and believe we have a lot to offer and we will be unique to the area. We have a great space being built that will be sports centric and will have a great party environment with good music and people. It will also offer what we believe a great simple menu with wood fire pizza being the focus, good drink specials with simple great cocktails & a list of great local and craft beers. All being a work in progress which we still have a month or more to refine.
If you entered before 9pm and are out of dress code you may be asked to leave.
