Social Tap Drinkery - Wichita State

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!

My husband and I came here for the first time this past Friday and we really enjoyed the place and the atmosphere. We were greeted by Abby and she was awesome throughout the remainder of our time there. She recommended great options and the food did not disappoint! We look forward to coming here again soon, preferably in the summer to sit outside in the nice gazebo area they have!

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.

Went in tonight for a casual anniversary dinner & sour beer. Not only were we pleased with the beer selection, we had such a memorable time talking with Gehrig & Yoselin (sorry if spelling if wrong). The food was very good (cheese bread, burger and calzone) and ready quickly. Out of all the anniversary dinners we have had, this is one we will remember for the wonderful customer service. We will certainly be back soon. It looks like they have different events rotating from comedians to trivia night, so lots to offer!

Favorite place to come when I’m in Wichita! Pizza combo was and I highly recommend the Niihau pizza. Kai was a great server and she suggested some great beer. We are picky drinkers and we were impressed. I’ll be coming back.

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.

Everything was delightful! All of the staff was so friendly and the food and beer selections were amazing. Gherig stopped by and visited with these old WSU alums a couple of times. So nice of him to share some laughs with us! Best of luck with those tires!

Gehrig was an amazing server! He was very friendly, checked on us frequently, and kept our drinks filled. We are here for state track and plan on going back tomorrow and are hoping to have him for a server again! I highly recommend the cherry limeades!
