Why Go
Welfare Road in Simpson Bay has evolved into the island's densest concentration of bars, restaurants, and nightlife venues, and The Tap and Still holds its own in this competitive corridor.

The Experience
The Tap and Still occupies a Welfare Road address in the section of Simpson Bay that comes alive as evening approaches. The name suggests a focus on draft beer and spirits — a tap-forward concept that prioritizes what is on draught alongside a broader bar menu. The Welfare Road location places it near Lotus Nightclub for those who want to escalate their evening, and Sunset Princess Casino for guests looking to combine drinks with gaming. Rent a Scoot is nearby for those who need to get around without a car. The Simpson Bay entertainment district benefits from the concentration of venues — you can walk between multiple establishments in a single evening, sampling the different atmospheres and drink selections without needing a taxi or designated driver. For visitors staying in the Simpson Bay resort corridor, The Tap and Still is the kind of neighborhood bar that becomes a regular evening stop.
What to Try
Ask what is on draft — the tap selection is the house specialty. Use the Welfare Road location to bar-hop between The Tap and Still, Lotus, and the surrounding establishments for a full Simpson Bay night out.
