Social Tap Revisited
Posted on April 11, 2022 by Ching under Food and Drink.
My first time at Social Tap was a happy hour with my Leadership Wichita pals and I didn’t get to try any food. I made sure to rectify this on my second visit, which occurred months later. My first visit was last year around September. The weather was nice and we got to sit out on their patio. I can’t wait for fabulous weather like that again. This time around we dined inside.
This second visit was prompted by working up an appetite playing pickleball. I was starving and I talked Bo Tolbert, Kendra Wicks, and Ryan Kellenbarger into going with me to Social Tap for post-pickleball lunch. It was a particularly windy day so their garage doors were down and I think pretty much all the guests dined inside that day. We arrived at a good time before all the basketball fanatics showed up.
One of the things I like most about Social Tap is that they encourage you to be completely self-sufficient. You don’t have to go up to the counter or wait for a server to order. You do everything directly from your phone.
They have QR codes on each table that you scan, not just to look at the menu, but you order directly through your phone. They know where to deliver the food and drinks ordered based not the QR code that’s been scanned because, while the menus are the same, the QR codes are unique to each table.
Here are some pictures of food that we enjoyed that day.
I got the pepperoni and pineapple pizza. It had a fancy name on the menu which I do not recall. I’d never had food there before so I was a bit worried that I would be disappointed but their pizza is actually quite good. I was very happy with this choice. Below is a picture of Ryan’s pizza. I don’t remember what he got either.
I thought it worth mentioning that Social Tap has $5 mimosas and bloody Mary’s on the weekend. I’m not a bloody Mary person. The one you see in the pic is Ryan’s.
Kendra got a hotdog (pictured above) and Bo got a burger (below).
The food actually comes from the restaurants at Braeburn Square (named after the old campus golf course that used to be there many, many years ago) — Sungrano Pizza and Wheatly’s Burgers. I’m not sure if they reciprocate by letting you order drinks from Social Tap if you’re at their locations so I just automatically go to Social Tap instead to be on the safe side.
On the visit with Bo, Kendra, and Ryan, I somehow missed the $5 mimosa memo so I order a more expensive blue drink (I can’t remember what it’s called also) which was good but I would have much preferred to spend less.
Therefore, when I returned with Brian and Karen a few weeks later, I made sure to order a mimosa instead. They have various flavors to choose from. I got the pomegranate and Karen had the pineapple.
Karen got the pepperoni and pineapple pizza this time.
Brian and I shared the Kansas bird pizza on tavern crust, which kind of reminds me of lavosh. Brian and I decide that “tavern crust” is just a fancy way of saying “thin crust” pizza. Anyway, though it doesn’t photograph well, this pizza was actually not bad. Although, I still like the pepperoni and pineapple pizza better. I like that crust and that pizza overall. However, Brian has an aversion for pineapple on pizza so we had to get something that we could both agree on and that happened to be the chicken and bacon one.
I am really happy that there’s stuff on the WSU campus now, specially since the best pickleball courts in the city are located on campus and I see myself spending a lot of time there in the future. LOL.
I’ll have to try some other things on the menu so I can get new food pictures. I’ll also have to try the rest of the mimosa flavors. Stay tuned. GNG.
