Reviews Summary
Gallo's Tap Room offers an elevated pub experience with a wide range of craft beers and scratch-made dishes that go beyond typical bar fare. While many praise the delicious food, friendly service, and lively sports atmosphere, some diners have experienced slow service during peak hours. Despite occasional waits, the quality of the food and drinks makes it a worthwhile stop.
"Gallos delivers on the food and drinks.
Highly recommended.
The quality and diversity of the menu are well matched with the friendliness of the staff. The dishes are elevated beyond conventional bar-food, and the prices cannot be beat on the cocktails. Available outdoor and indoor seating, with a pool/standing room. Great place to meet some friends or watch a game. Pictured are the jamican jerk wings, turkey melt, cuban sandwich, and chicken tenders with the legendary cockfight sauce (a must try)."

"Dined here before a concert while visiting from out of town & we were pleasantly surprised. Nice atmosphere, casual but more upscale food than your typical bar food. Good beer selection and easy parking. Food was hot and fresh and made from scratch. Jen our server was fantastic and really loved her job and working for Gallo’s. Definitely a devoted employee saying she worked there for over a decade. Definitely will return next time we are in the area."

"Gallos is our go to when we are out and about. They always have a good beer selection and their food is on par. This trip we opted for wings and the loaded fries. Everything was hot and tasty. The wings were big and meaty and the fries were the perfect amount of bad for you which made them perfectly enjoyable. We always get good services and it has a good price point. The Bethel location is our favorite but the Powell location is good too. I recommend you give it a stop if you are up for some decent food and good beer."
