Social Tap Drinkery - Wichita State - Wichita, Kansas

The place looks fantastic. I had never been here before so I'm assuming you just pick a spot to sit which I did. after browsing the menu for a bit I went with one of the 12inch pizzas.

this was a great choice on my part the pizza came out perfectly cooked and tasted fantastic. the hot oil on the table pairs well with the pizza and really elevated the dish.

i saw someone order the salads and they are pretty large dishes as well and was really tempted to try one also. I would come back to this place if I was local.

Whoa... east-side sleeper alert! DO NOT think of Social Tap only as a 'drinkery'. I have it as an 'eatery-drinkery'. Similarly, DO NOT think of it only as a WSU student spot. I have it as a student and public venue. Very welcoming interior. Large, relaxed, open, and airy with various seating options. Trendy sports bar vibe. The east side offers spacious patio seating, overlooking a placid pond. Great spot to chill. On to the food. You'll probably be greeted with a QR code scan menu and order option. Just tell 'em you're old-school and prefer a menu. No problem. For our starter, we had the Pepperoni Rolls. Served with warm marinera, these marshmallow-soft nuggets of deliciousness are absolutely killer. The combination of flavors; toasty - yet soft and chewy, zesty, and tangy delights are superb, by any standard. Enough for 2-3 diners. For entrees, my wife ordered the Wheatly Burger & fries. Partly placed in n the mood by the Pepperoni Rolls, I went for the Calzone Supreme. First, let's discuss the Wheatly Burger. Proudly served on a potato roll with grilled onions, cheese, lettuce, and pickles, this burger is top flight! No question. Juicy and flavorful. Fries were crispy - perfecto! However, the showstopper was the calzone. Off the chart! Calzones are not commonly seen on Wichita menus. I've had a few here; all were less than noteworthy. But this calzone was my friend, VERY GOOD FRIEND! Check out the attached photo. These dudes are monsters, and OMG tasty - beyond belief. Succulent marinara on the side. Check the attached menu photo for a detailed description. Peppers, sausage, mozzarella, onions, mushrooms, etc. You get the picture. Italians would be proud. Wanted to consume all of it, but it was too much. Box please! I am throwing down a hard recommendation for Wichita's casual diners. Take a little trip to tasty-town. Check out the food at Social Tap, WSU. This place is a sleeper. Definitely on my 'go-back' list.
PS - Hat's off to Erik, our server. This cat plays way over the rim, for sure!

We gotta start with the atmosphere. It’s a chill environment with inside and outside seating with a fun social environment that has relaxing views off the patio of the fountains. Food wise we just had appetizers and you can’t beat the pepperoni rolls. Perfect portion size and if you go on Friday they have great specials for apps. But my guy Jacob (aka Jake) made the experience that much better. We had great conversation and service was at the top of his to do list. Even when we weren’t in his section. 10/10 would go again.

When we first entered it was not very busy which was nice. We were told to seat ourselves and that a QR code was how to access the menu. Water was brought to us and we were told to order by using the QR code. Since it was Friday there were drink specials at reasonable prices. The food took a little long to get out considering there were only about 8 people total in the restaurant. The food itself was good. The vodka cherry limeades were great. The strawberry lemonade was an absolute miss don’t recommend. The atmosphere lost points by all the obnoxiously loud people who got seated by us and chairs and tables pushed together. Also the service got rated low because we asked multiple times for ranch and it was forgotten or ignored and we had to wait for a while to see a waiter to get a to go box.

After a very long and hot day on the road with the kiddos, Social Tap Drinkery was a lifesaver! It was exactly the relaxing atmosphere we needed. The service was fantastic – our barkeep, Gehrig, was incredibly kind and courteous. He made us feel welcome and helped us unwind after a long day.

Great experience overall, but its slightly frustrating that no one even came to our table to get us waters or anything until we put in our order online via the qr code on the table. I get that most younger people want limited to no interaction, but it was frustrating having to wait until we submit our entire order before receiving water. We also ordered an appetizer, which would normally come before dinner. Nope. They just brought everything at once. The staff was nice,but orders seemed like a race to get you out. They were pretty slow when we were there so it wasn't like they were pushing to free up seating. We will probably order our next meal to go, as that seems like what the business wants anyway.

I am not a fan on not really having a waiter. Scan the menu with your phone and sit on your phone for 5 minutes and try to figure out what to order is not really a social activity. Someone in our group ordered got a receipt but their order never got sent to the kitchen. Everyone was done eating before they got their food.
Parking was easy.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff are always a given at Social Tap. They have a wonderful patio and a very inviting set up. My friend and I have been coming here regularly and the only reason it’s not a 5 star review is the lack of menu and beer tap consistency. They got rid of the best BLT in town and many of their great beers are rotated out. I guess I’m a creature of habit and once I find something it’s a bit of a disappointment when it goes away! A small complaint I understand but a reason we don’t come back as often as we did.
