I worked with the owner to reserve a 28-person private event. The management and staff were HIGHLY accommodating, friendly, and respectful. Their facilities are top quality, comfortable, and spacious. I would highly recommend anyone looking to set up a public/private LAN event or simply to casually play around to use this facility. They are truly excellent.

Recently attended a 3 day event here. Exceptional staff and owner who care about the event and the group playing. Very attentive and helpful. The PCs and equipment were all well taken care of. Lots of PCs. Outside food and drink allowed which made things convenient for all day events. Perfect spot to host a tournament. 5 star

We hosted a private event at Tap E-Sports Center and had a great experience. The staff were accommodating, helpful, and easy to work with. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and well-ventilated, which made for a comfortable environment during the event. The space does have low ceilings, giving it a bit of a “gaming dungeon” vibe, but it fit the theme in a fun way. Overall, a great spot for gaming events in Philly!

Recently competed in the World Series of Day of Defeat here - the PCs and monitors were exceptional, the staff was attentive and helpful, and the food in Chinatown is unreal. Could not recommend more!
