Summer holidays ☀️

Crispy wings ✔️
Flavor-packed Brussels sprouts ✔️
Immaculate vibes ✔️

Had the best time at The Brass Tap in Kingwood! The wings were perfectly crispy and juicy with a delicious Nashville Hot dry rub and those Brussels sprouts were seriously underrated 👏🔥

Daryl had The Brass Tap favourite - fish and chips and the kids had pizza 🍕

To top it off, a sweet group celebrating a birthday shared their coconut cake with us 🥥🎂 — how cute is that?! Loved the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a spot we’ll be back to!

Noel 🎄 A Christmas of cancelled plans, flu meds, last-minute meals (thanks to the guys), South African festivities with friends, and cherished family moments 🩷
