It's rare to witness a moment of silence at J&A Tap, where the air is constantly filled with the tinkle of clinking glasses full of craft beer and the melodies of live musicians and possibly melodious karaoke singers. On warm summer days, whistles and cheers waft in from lively volleyball games taking place out on the pub's two sandy courts. And in the kitchen, there's always the sizzle of grills and the hiss of frying pans as chefs whip up housemade burgers, crispy seafood, and sausage-speckled pizzas.
