Events

Every Thursday

Thursday nights are for good friends, cold drinks, and grabbing the mic.

Every Thursday, The Tap Shack turns the patio into Carson City's favorite karaoke hangout. Whether you're ready to belt out a classic, sing a guilty pleasure, or just cheer on your friends, everyone is welcome.

No pressure. No judges. Just great music, great people, and another reason to spend your Thursday at The Tap Shack.

🎤 Every Thursday 🕖 Starts at 7:00 PM

🍺 Cold Beer 🍸 Great Cocktails 🎶 Your Favorite Songs ⭐ Friendly Faces

Grab a drink. Pick your song. You're up next.

The Tap Shack The Music Mecca of Carson City.

Break out the flannel. Friday night is going straight back to the ’90s! 📼🔥

The Mecca Summer Stage Series welcomes Red Flannel Flashback, a full-blown ’90s tribute band ready to turn The Tap Shack Parking Lot Revival into a night of throwback anthems, alternative rock, and songs you probably still know every word to.

This is exactly what Friday nights at The Music Mecca of Carson City were built for.

🥙 Tahoe Kebabs opens at 6:30 PM 🎸 Red Flannel Flashback at 7:30 PM 🪑 Bring a chair!

Cold beer. Big songs. A parking lot full of people having a damn good time.

The Tap Shack Parking Lot Revival Where summer nights come alive.

Saturday Patio Sessions welcomes a serious road warrior to The Tap Shack.

Kristen Ford has played more than 2,000 shows across all 50 states and 10 countries, including stages like Fenway Park and The Fillmore in San Francisco. Now the indie rocker brings her guitar, signature rasp, and fiercely original sound to our little patio in Carson City.

Her music has been described as “arena-ready and intimate,” and Kelly Clarkson summed it up beautifully: “There’s no one who sounds like you, that’s what I love.”

🥙 Tahoe Kebabs opens at 3:00 PM 🎸 Kristen Ford | 3:30–6:30 PM

Come early, grab something to eat, claim your patio seat and discover an artist you may be talking about long after the afternoon is over.

And don't go anywhere afterward because Saturday Patio Sessions isn't finished yet...

Saturday keeps rolling at The Tap Shack!

After Kristen Ford wraps up the afternoon session, Front Porch returns at 7:30 PM with their own brand of Renegade Bluegrass, mixing bluegrass, roots country, acoustic music and a little bit of whatever else wanders onto the porch. 🪕🎸

This is porch-pickin' music made for cold beer, friends, and a summer evening under the lights.

🎶 Front Porch | 7:30 PM

If you're here for Kristen Ford, stick around. If you're coming for Front Porch, come early. August 15 is basically one long Saturday Patio Session at The Tap Shack.
