Welsh and broader British pub slang for last orders — the final call for drinks before a pub closes for the night. When the landlord calls stop-tap, you have a narrow window to get one last round in before service ends. The term is especially common in Wales, where pub culture has its own rich vocabulary, and it captures the bittersweet ritual of a night winding down over a final pint.
We were deep in conversation when stop-tap was called, and suddenly we had five minutes to finish three pints between us.
