The Whitecross Tap

Unforgettable Brunches and Stellar Staff Shine

The Whitecross Tap, tucked away slightly off the typical tourist paths, manages to blend modern charm with what can only be described as a new-age classic vibe. This refreshing mix of style and substance begins with its bright and bold decor, featuring vintage windows and colorful 'drinkbalia' — an appealing nod to pub tradition seen through a contemporary lens. The atmosphere feels inviting and lively, with staff dotted around the parquet-floored space providing friendly and attentive service despite the seemingly endless stream of visitors for the bottomless brunches and after-work gatherings. Watching a football match or simply catching up with friends becomes an experience seated on cushioned high benches or sunk into deep leather sofas amidst a happy medley of locals and tourists.

Food and drink are at the heart of the Whitecross Tap's offering. While the pizza, often paired with a slightly discounted pint, might toe the line of adequacy — a tad thick in crust, its no-frills flavor profile — the admittance to customize slice sizes with your personal cutter adds a delightfully interactive twist. It's the consistent cocktail of craft tropical screens offering sports entertainment that underscores its popularity as the neighborhood’s own home away from home. Whether you wander in casually before a concert or need a spot to unwind after either a week's worth dawn, this pub opens its arms widely, making sure everyone — the local regulars to hip visiting patrons — remains comfortably engaged and served, creating a captivatingly timeless pub experience worth repeating. — Audrey Al Dente
