Tap It Out, Malaysia's First Self-Service Beer ATM @ Soho KL

Cheers, ladies and gentlemen!

The first self-service “Beer ATM” is now open in Solaris Mont Kiara! I am here checking out the energetic vibes and sipping on the freshly-served premium beers - completely automated and affordable.

Tap It Out, located on the second floor of Soho KL (Right above Caffe Bene), is the first beer bar in Malaysia that allows you to pour your own drinks and have complete control of how much beer you want each round.

Tap It Out serves 9 types of draught beer from 22 beer taps on their ‘ATMs’ including:

❤ Carlsberg
❤ Asahi
❤ Connors
❤ Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc
❤ Löwenbräu
❤ Erdinger Weissbier
❤ Hoegaarden
❤ Stella Artois
❤ Leffe

Each beer tap allows you to pour one type of beer.
So make sure you see the screen and don't get your beer name wrong :P

The screen will show which type of bar is the tap for. For instance, I have Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc on my left and Carlsberg on my right.

There are different types of glasses for different beers too!

Let's see how does this self-service system work.....

All you have to do when you enter the bar is purchase a prepaid card with cash. The card can then be used as an ‘ATM card’ on any of the beer dispensers. Reload is available at RM50, RM100 and RM150 onwards...

Tap It Out Beer ATM Card

Instructions are given at the back of the card.

Place your card under the screen and pour as much as you want!

After pouring, the screen will display the amount (ml) of beer poured,

and the price of your pour as well as the remaining balance in your card.

You can choose to enjoy your beer outside the outlet, or chill indoors.

Taking beer drinking to a more interactive level, Tap It Out also has a
digital beer pong table for you to play the classic game of electronic beer pong with beer!

Drinking with friends here will not be boring anymore!

Don't forget to check out the Beer Pong Challenge promo in the house!

Tap It Out Ultimate Platter - Ideal for sharing!

Well, nothing beats the enjoyment of pairing our favourite beers with bar snacks. Don't expect main courses to be served here, but I am pretty sure that the bar snacks can easily make one full to the brim.

Creme Brulee Roasted Pork - Definitely a must-try item here.

Premium Fries Platter - Best for communal sharing while keeping the streams of conversations and laughter going.

Asian Fusion Popcorn Chicken with House Special Spicy Sauce

Prawn Katsu - Crisp and crunchy prawns for the seafood lovers.

Garlic Butter Broiled Mussels - Fresh and deliciously spiced to pair well with beers.

Flaming Wings - Nicely added spicy kick to your traditional chicken wings.

Signature Premium Popcorn and Nuts

Oink Oink Popcorn with Bacon and Crispy Pork Rind

Cheesy Bomb Popcorn with Cheese Cuts

Naughty-nutty Popcorn with Sesame Glaze Pistachio

Tamari and Maple Roasted Almond

And lastly, my personal favourite goes to the premium popcorns infused with bacon, cheese and nuts that bring the popcorn experience to the next level. Nutty fans will love the crunchy savoury-sweet almonds too.

Verdict:
Good beer joint, good atmosphere and good company; what's more can I ask for at Tap It Out?

If you want an one-of-a-kind experience with "Beer ATMs", this is the right place to visit!

Hi! Are you a fan of Thai products? When it comes to grocery shopping, I realise my family enjoys buying quite a number of Thailand imported goods such as snacks, instant noodles, sauces and cooking ingredients.

But do you know that not all Thai products are made the same in terms of quality? Well, we Malaysians have a bad habit of not reading the labels whenever we buy anything! But, trust me, please spend some time looking at the labels of Thailand products for quality assurance.

Or better still, grab anything around you that is imported from Thailand and check if you see this Thailand Trust Mark that looks like a “T” alphabet logo. Congratulations if you manage to spot it; you have made a wise purchase of the item!

What is T Mark?
