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.

The food is good and nice atmosphere the only negative is they charge for refills on soda. The soda was as much as an entree! It cost $14.00 for two sodas with one refill! Outrageous and when the bill is presented, the waiter tells you how much it is and stands there while you write in a tip. You have to request a printed check. If we didn't request a printed check we would have never realized they charge for refills because they don't disclose that. Probably won't go back just because of this.

Where has Detroit style pizza been all my life? Don't be discouraged by reading the toppings list and thinking it's "too much, omg sounds heavy". Tell your brain to shut up and just order it. A slice goes a long way so it's perfect for the table and you can warsh it down with the great beer. Korean wings are sticky AF and delicious.

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.

Friendly staff, great food and drinks. This is a fun little neighborhood place and I'm so glad we found it. Sure beats the mess of people in the Funk Zone and by the beach.We will definitely return when we are in town again. I

Grrrr. They don’t answer their phone and they promise to call you back on the recording and then they don’t. It’s very frustrating to try and do business with them. I guess business is so good they don’t need phone in orders. I suggest Giovanni’s or Petrinis.

excellent detroit style pizza. actually the best pizza in sb in my opinion. hopefully they can expand and open a proper pizzeria with more inviting interior.Dietary restrictions: had gluten free crust option.Parking: small parking lot, but a parking lot nonetheless.

New menu was not great especially with the prices they have. Food took a long time, not delivered at the same time; One entree, 10 mins later another entree, another 10 minutes for the appetizer and finally 10 minutes more for the last entree. I also waited 20 minutes for ranch, but my food was finished by then. Manager is very rude but the servers are great! They're definitely overworked and likely understaffed, felt horrible for them. Won't be coming back, we miss the old corner tap!!!

A bar needs a soda gun. Can't be using coke from 2 old open cans for a rum and coke. $4 per refill iced tea would've been nice to know also.

Was less than thrilled with this place when it first opened, but the new menu is phenomenal. Might be my favorite place to eat in Santa Barbara. Great Mac n cheese, even better nachos. Some very good salads. Solid drink and beer list. But the main thing is the Detroit style pizza. My new favorite pizza in Santa Barbara. The flavor on the Butcher's Daughter is amazing, and both their regular and gluten free crusts are excellent. Really great pizza, but definitely not thin crust if that's your thing.

Clean restaurant (including the bathroom). Got the original pizza and waffle fries to share for a late lunch and both were really good. Pizza was just a bit too salty. We didn't get told a total when we paid, just given a screen with tip options to click and pay, that was a bit weird.
