For a brief moment I thought this was a tapas bar until I realised that Tap a speil was just the Welsh for Tap and spile. A spile is a small wooden or metal peg used to control the flow of air into, and carbon dioxide out of, a cask of ale. I haven't been able to discover anything about its history but it seems to get very good write-ups on review sites. Image
