Corner Tap 1905 Cliff Drive, Santa Barbara, CA 93109

"Nice. Though size is smallish for the bar & diner inside for its street corner location where seating outside maximizes its appearance , as does small menu maxed by its savory fare (try the Smash Burger Tacos!), all in a friendly atmosphere, a tone set by the attentive staff."

"I finally was able to try the newly renovated Corner Tap on the Mesa. While the interior appears unchanged, the menu has definitely gotten a revamp for the better. They offer a bunch of local beers on tap, along with a nice variety of cocktails. Our group enjoyed our beverages all around. Unfortunately, the waitress wasn't super confident and had to ask another employee several of our questions--yet at least she found out answers versus just guessing the answers. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt given a new menu. Of course, we came here for the Detroit Style Pizza! They have eight to choose from. The main thing that makes these pies unique is the thick crust that is encrusted in cheese with a nice, doughy interior. While you wait for your food, you can play a game of shuffleboard. The pizzas were outstanding. Sausage has a good amount of flavor and spice if that's your thing. The cheese was tasty but a bit excessive and wayyy saltier than it should be. We were chugging water during and after our meal.That was the one big downfall. We rebalanced our palate with the Pizzookie which is a good-sized chocolate cookie in a skillet. We finished that dessert of quickly. All in all, I'm glad Corner Tap is back open."

"First time eating at Corner Tap and will definitely be returning. Great service & yummy food. Lots of sestong options too onside & outside."

"Corner Tap has some really good things going for it, but there’s still some things you’ll be left wanting. We ordered the Caesar salad, pretzel, and animal fries, coming out to just shy of $40. Portion wise, this was a bit much for what we received, but it’s Santa Barbara after all. The Caesar salad was satisfactory, albeit a touch spicy. I’d say it’s a tasty budget salad choice. As a note to the owners, please provide more sauce for your to go orders! You’ve got something great here, let me enjoy it to its fullest! The pretzel was a bit of a mixed bag. It was deliciously seasoned and came with a great mustard; however, the cheese sauce it came with was a little mild. I’d like it to be a slightly larger serving as well, but the flavors still make it a solid choice. Okay, let’s dive into the animal fries. These things are great and could honestly constitute a full meal by themselves. If someone asks you to split an order, don’t. You want your own. Let’s talk about the ugly aspects of this visit. Honestly, it’s loud inside. Luckily, there’s plenty of outdoor seating, just avoid sitting along Cliff Drive and you’ll be fine. The parking situation is also rough, especially considering people like to park over the “lines” of reflectors. The worst part was how long it took for our food to be ready. It took just shy of 25 minutes to prepare a salad, pretzel, and some fries. I’m not trying to nitpick, but considering how little food was leaving the kitchen in general, it was slow. All together, we done! This will be replacing Mesa Burger for us from now on, especially with how comparable the prices have become. To wrap it up, here are their current, 2023 menus so you can see each items pricing. Happy eating!"

"This place is a great spot for flatbreads, wings, drinks, and other pub foods. The flatbreads and wings were especially good - my friends and I ordered one pizza each with a few appetizers and it was enough food for all of us. My favorite flatbread was the carne asada with the green sauce. The only thing that was disappointing was the order or jalapeno poppers - you basically get two jalapenos (cut in half) for $9.50. See photos for details. Other than that, the place is a great quick stop."
