What Tap 42 Llc does

Tap 42 LLC operates Tap 42 Craft Kitchen & Bar, an upscale-casual dining and drinking concept founded in 2011 and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company runs 12 locations across Florida — Aventura, Boca Raton, Coral Gables, Coral Springs, Davie, Doral, Fort Lauderdale (HQ), Fort Myers, Kendall, Midtown Miami, Naples, and Palm Beach Gardens — with the newest unit in Fort Myers. Many locations are anchored in high-traffic Florida retail destinations such as Aventura Mall, Town Center at Boca Raton, Gardens Mall, and Mercato. The core product is a contemporary American menu with a craft cocktail, wine, and craft beer program, supplemented by daypart promotions including a weekday happy hour, a $25 bottomless brunch on weekends, and a burger-bash promotion on Mondays. The company also operates a catering and group-events business.

Technology and operations are run on mainstream third-party platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure. The 42 Club Rewards loyalty program, digital/physical gift cards, and online ordering are all delivered through Toast Tab; reservations are handled via OpenTable; and off-premise delivery is distributed through UberEats. The corporate website declares WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance. Differentiated product includes exclusive barrel-aged spirits hand-selected with Don Julio Tequila and Bulleit Bourbon, plus two proprietary beverages: Andrews Avenue Lager brewed exclusively for Tap 42 by Florida Avenue Brewery and 42 Hazy Daze NE Style IPA brewed with Funky Buddha.

Tap 42 is a privately held LLC with no disclosed funding, parent company, or M&A activity. Revenue is generated through in-restaurant food and beverage sales (transaction volume), catering and group/private-event services (professional services), and gift card sales (pre-paid). Pricing is unit-based, with menu items ranging from approximately $7-$8 happy hour drinks to premium entrees in the high-$20s to high-$30s and catering trays from $80 to $180. The customer base is split between individual upscale-casual diners and group/event customers, with no enterprise or SMB contracting layer. Marketing is multi-channel: organic social (Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter) at the brand and per-location level, email, SEO with location pages, and a dedicated weekly-promotions content hub. The company was voted "Best Restaurant in South Florida" by the South Florida Business Journal.
