We spoke with Katheryn and Jon Stoia, co-owners of a new type of self-serve bar and eatery in Royal Oak called North End Taproom. Stop in and enjoy the casual atmosphere as you get your wrist band, which unlocks and tracks the 40 taps on the wall. Choose from unusual brews like Splcy Pickle Monster, IPAs, wines, ciders, non-alcoholic beers and even cold brew coffee. If you’re hungry, use your phone to order the Royal Oak burger with cheese, fish tacos, tachos, chicken wings or other items. There’s no tipping at North End, so the checkout process is simple.
