We’ve got the opening date for The Brass Tap in Warner Robins

New to Middle Georgia, The Brass Tap in Warner Robins is gearing up for its soft opening on Labor Day.

The Tampa-based craft beer bar and entertainment venue is known for its localized brewery offerings, specialty cocktails, premium wines and upscale shareables.

Pratham Patel, 24, a 2023 Georgia Tech graduate who’s trading computer science for craft beer, is opening the new franchise in his hometown with his father, Rahul Patel, who serves as managing partner.

“I’m excited to bring something new, something different to the community and just develop a place for everybody to come and hang out and get together,” Pratham Patel said.

The Brass Tap will open Sept. 7 with a full-service bar, including a premium liquor selection, a full-service kitchen, 60-plus rotating taps, and offer an immersive sports viewing experience.

Weekly events such as trivia, karaoke and watch parties are expected to be added.

As a new business with new employees, Patel asked for everyone to please be patient as they learn the ropes during their soft opening.

A grand opening is expected down the road, he said.

The new gathering spot is in a 3,700-square-foot space at 3151 Russell Parkway, Suite 600, in the new Shops At Aria at the corner of Tharpe Road and Russell Parkway.

The Brass Tap brand has 40 locations in 16 states, according to a news release. The two other Georgia locations are in Hapeville and Marietta, according to the company website.

Hours for the Warner Robins location will be 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday.
