About Black Tap
Chris Barish, son of the Planet Hollywood founder, opened Black Tap in 2015 as a tiny 15-seat burger and craft beer bar in New York. It became famous almost overnight for something other than burgers: the CrazyShake, a towering milkshake loaded with cake, sweets and candy floss that turned the queue outside into a fixture of Instagram.
Around a dozen locations, from New York, Las Vegas and Anaheim to Singapore, Dubai, Geneva and Zürich.
