A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars…Again! Bar Number 193: Laney's Tap

by MBIP


I thought we’d travel to Bellevue tonight and check out Laney’s Tap, so that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

And so it’s off to Bellevue we go!

Bar Number 193: Laney’s Tap, Monday, August 17, 2026

Here we are…I think…at Laney’s Tap…but there’s no sign out here!

Let’s go in and hopefully we’re not walking into some strangers house! Oh well, if we are, maybe they have a basement bar!

Yep, this is the place, Laney’s Tap and there’s the bar. Let’s go get settled in for our stay in here.

Liv was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and here she is delivering me a can of Pabst. Liv said she’s familiar with the blog and she’s been following the 365 bar crawl and it’s always nice to hear that.

She told me that one of the specialities of the house is their homemade pizza and she told me that even the crust is homemade. Sadly, I just ate dinner, so I’ll try one on my next trip!

There’s the back of this well-stocked bar and the quartet of beers that are on tap behind the bar.

The daily specials are listed down here at the end of the bar.

Gaming machines line the back wall if you feel lucky…well, do ya punk?

There’s a nice pool table up here in the front room.

There’s two state-of-the-art dartboards over in this corner.

Here’s a shot of the bar from the other end of it.

There’s two large screen TV screens at both ends of the bar for your viewing pleasure.

Liv told me that Monday nights are poker nights in here and there were three games going on in the front rooms. I didn’t want to pester them, so I took a couple photos from my seat at the bar and had another beer and chatted some more with Liv!
