The Tap Room is located near the Grant Street entrance of the Omni William Penn. It’s a great spot for a casual meal with family and friends, a few beers and a game on the TV or a late-night local bourbon. This is a favorite spot with locals for its Aveline salad, hearty burgers and local draught beer.

The room has a rich history. Opening in 1934 as The Continental, the room was one of the two repealatoriums that opened in the William Penn Hotel after the repeal of prohibition. There is some question as to when the room closed. Historians have confirmed, however, that the room first began to take its present-day shape in 1958 as The Harp and Crown, a name was taken from the original Sign of The Harp and Crown, a popular Pittsburgh tavern in the late 1700s. In the 1970s, the Harp and Crown was renamed as The Colonial Tap Room. After a hiatus in the 1980s, The Tap Room re-opened in 1992.
