The new spot boasts interior and exterior features that were built from the ground up. The custom interior of 7,000 square feet is a contemporary, industrial design mixed with warm elements such as reclaimed barn wood, comfortable furnishings and an indoor/outdoor patio with a fireplace and views of Piestewa Peak. The patio also seamlessly transforms into a private dining room to accommodate 35 guests. Upholstered horseshoe booths and banquettes, an expansive, full-service bar with striking Brazilian caramel and black granite adds to the carefully selected custom touches throughout. A lively chef’s kitchen offers guests wide-open views of the culinary activity underway colorfully flanked by an authentic, red-tiled pizza forno.

“This new location has given us the freedom to imagine and create a buildout from the ground up. We’ve installed custom touches from the kitchen to the dining rooms, patio and bar.  We’ve taken special care to create a beautifully detailed restaurant that welcomes casual diners to relax and drink in the experience.”

General Manager Jamie Morris added: “I grew up in this fantastic neighborhood; and now I’m raising my own family here.  We’re really excited to be opening TapHouse Kitchen in our community.  It’s a beautiful spot, perfect for the Shea neighborhood, great food and relaxed surroundings. It’s a perfect place for any occasion.  We’re looking forward to serving all our neighbors!”
