We stopped in to grab a to-go order before heading to the beach to watch the sunset. Service was friendly and there was lots of open seating. We grabbed a couple of drinks while we were waiting for the food. The pizza was very good, especially if you like Detroit-style. We also ordered the beet salad which was tasty! read more

Solid location, and the Mesa could definitely use more restaurants--this one fits the bill nicely. A few friendly notes, though. The menu is very meat‑forward. I searched with determination (and optimism) and couldn't find a single vegetarian‑friendly entrée. I eat fish, but this seriously limits who I can bring along. In 2026, that feels less "bold culinary choice" and more "missed opportunity." The upside? The pizza. Ordering it without sausage turned out to be a winning move. It's excellent. Detroit‑style is one of my favorites, and they pull it off shockingly well for a place that isn't even a pizza joint. The takeaway: toss a couple of vegetarian or fish options on the menu. It's easy, it's normal, and it would make a lot of people (including me) very happy. Do that, and this is an easy two‑star upgrade. read more

THE DETROIT STYLE PIZZA HERE IS INCREDIBLE. Stopped by for dinner and grabbed on of these pizzas and they were honestly so flavorful and had high quality ingredients. A must try if your in the area, don't sleep on this place. You will find Cornee Tap on the corner! lol super easy to find and at first glance it seemed like a tasting room/ bar and then we noticed the menus. My wife split a pizza and it was enough for both of us to get full so not bad considering the price and portion! Service is here was very good. Our server was incredibly kind and very on it and we appreciated that. Super chill and laid back resteraunt, what's not to like here. Defenitly will be back next time in SB. Thanks Corner Tap for the tasty pizza. read more

Great spot for comfort food! Good beers on tap and a solid menu selection. The burgers, chicken sandwiches, french fries, and everything else was tasty. Good service. Parking lot in the back. Mac and cheese was solid too. Will come back for the nachos and pizza. Overall recommend worth checking out! Reasonable prices for the area. TVs, music on Wednesdays, and good vibes all around. read more

Was able to walk in and find a table right away, a little busy but fast prompt service. Went on burger week, preferred the smash burger tacos w/ extra sauce on side. Ordered the pretzel burger but nothing special. Corner tap is known for their Detroit style pizza which did not disappoint, very tasty along with the Korean style wings. Overall great food and friendly staff. read more

This review is solely to rate the pizza. This place was recommended to me as they raved about the pizza. I was surprised by the size of the pizza. I ordered the Notorious P.I.E. This is made with pepperoni, hot honey, white cheddar and jalapeño. The jalapeños and spicy honey make it spicy for spicy sensitive folks. This was not lacking the flavor. The pepperoni was crispy and the crust as well. Did I mention that this is deep dish pizza. Despite it being smaller than other deep dish pizzas that I have tried it was delicious and it was enough to share with three people. I do feel that the price point is a little higher than others. I am curious to try other items on the menu, but wanted to try the pizza first. read more

Corner Tap - Notorious P.I.E. - Beer Bar Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

This place is quick and convenient. The service is solid and it's a good neighborhood spot to grab bar food and some drinks. They have live music some nights and outdoor heaters/fire pits which is nice. I've only been here on week nights so it's been easy to get a table. The service is casual and the workers are friendly. I'm not much of a beer person but I usually like the hard kombucha or cider they have on tap. My reason for giving 3 stars despite liking this place is that the food is very average. I ordered the Caesar salad with chicken and I hate to say it, but this was the driest grilled chicken I've ever been served at a restaurant. The pieces were super thin and not tender or juicy at all. I had to douse the chicken in dressing to make it semi enjoyable to eat which was a bummer. The Detroit style pizza was pretty good. I really liked the hot honey and chilis but thought the pepperoni was a little too salty. Overall the pizza was tasty, but I've definitely had higher quality pizzas for the same price. The other time I ate here I was given the wrong order and my friend said his tri tip sliders were super dry. I've had other friends rave about the wings and loaded fries, so I'm thinking the food is hit or miss and it depends on what you order. Although I only am giving 3/5 stars, I would still come here for the chill atmosphere and convenient location. It's a nice addition to the Mesa neighborhood and I like the vibes every time I come here. I will probably stick to just appetizers or light bites since I haven't been impressed with the food. read more

Corner Tap - Caesar Salad with chicken Notorious P.I.E. - Beer Bar Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

My father-in-law and his wife live in the Mesa, and they've become regulars at Corner Tap. We went Saturday night when we were visiting Santa Barbara, and it was a great spot for an easy family dinner with both small kids and grandparents. The place was immediately comfortable, with a fun, casual sports bar/gastropub atmosphere. We got a booth with a high chair and our children behaved, thanks in part to the numerous televisions turned to various stations. The boys got their first taste of pro wrestling, watching jacked women attack each other in some ridiculous Australian version of WWE (there was at least one move involving lipstick). Service was friendly and attentive. I liked that the staff recognized Grandpa and Grandma Robyn. There was a robust tap list, and my husband Matt B. and I ordered both of the hazy IPAs: the Made West, brewed in Ventura, and the Tarantula Hill Liquid Candy, brewed in Thousand Oaks. My father-in-law wanted a Bud Light and received one of their palest, lowest ABV beers instead. Everyone seemed okay with this outcome. The menu ran heavy and hearty, with Detroit-style pizza and caloric bar food like wings and nachos and smashburger tacos. There was also a kid's menu, which we appreciated. Our boys had butter pasta as well as plenty of seasoned waffle fries, which we ordered for the table. These were fantastic, crispy and flavorful, and the portion was made for sharing. This was also true of the pizza--our server said one pizza was meant to feed two adults. Matt I split the Notorious P.I.E., which came with red sauce, mozzarella, white cheddar, pepperoni, pickled chilis, burrata, and a Mike's Hot Honey drizzle. I love spice but he doesn't, and we figured he could handle a little hot honey and pick off the chilis. This was not the case. Every bite of that pizza was delicious fire, the chilis fully embedded in the cheese and sauce. I loved it, the thick crust laden with pepperoni and heat. I felt bad for Matt, though. He really struggled to get through that pizza. Otherwise, this was a very pleasant dinner, and I'm sure we'll be back to Corner Tap for more family-friendly meals in the Mesa. I'll miss that Notorious P.I.E., but will have to skip it next time. It's too big to eat alone, and my husband will want food that won't fuck him up like a raging Australian wrestler. read more

Corner Tap is a solid choice for good food and drinks with a laid-back sports bar vibe. I ordered a Paloma, which was delicious, and Nashville's Hot Chicken. The chicken was perfectly tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, but it was surprisingly mild and didn't come with pickles, which I missed. The standout dish for me was the cauliflower--it was so tasty, and the sauce was so good I even dipped my sandwich in it! The service was fast and friendly, though I wish I had visited on a quieter night since Monday Night Football made it pretty loud inside. Overall, the food was good and it was worth the visit. read more

I love this place. It's become one of my go-tos. The vibe here is great. It can get loud but it always sounds like it's people talking and laughing. All the food I've tried here is delicious.

I went here the other night with my sister and BIL. They had been before, but it was my first time. The service was great and they were very attentive.

The place is very welcoming and has a warm atmosphere. They were playing sports on the tvs. read more

First off, the woman who helped my party was confused with the question of "Do you serve this barrel aged beer in Pints?" Because she said yes, then brought me a completely different beer that wasn't even the beer I pointed at and she answered with "Yes!" Even if you weren't sure, just ask us please. This makes the whole situation weird, because I asked prior to ordering, confirmed, then you brought me the wrong beer. Then probably had to waste the previously wrong beer. Second, the food was cold. I was thinking it first as I ate it; and my party agreed. We had to send it back. The manager is GREAT and she's amazing, unfortunately the floor staff and kitchen staff did not deliver. I don't usually get food here and I usually sit on the bar, but we had a large party. Just definitely disappointed. It made the whole experience "strange". Thank you for the manager on duty. She's a really nice woman. read more

Just had a great experience with Corner Tap. Great Detroit style pizza, and I used to go to Buddy's Pizza in Detroit, the birthplace of Detroit Pizza. Had a really nice conversation with the manager. Service was perfect. read more

The corner tap is just plain ok. Their food menu is nothing special, it's ok food, just not very impressive. The nachos are good, not great, nothing special. The pizza is good just nothing really something to be excited about, the chicken sliders are just plain ok, nothing special.... just make sure to never order any salad from this place. One of the simplist things to make and this place fails at that. When music is playing, it's best to sit far enough away from the noise. The service is better than the food. Overall, if you want a medium priced experience with borderline ok food with really good service and you really don't care about food flavors with a beer selection that is just plain ok...then this place will be great for your low standards. The only thing good you experience is the atmosphere, good conversation with friends and family and really good service.... beyond that, don't expect amazing food especially the salads. Save your money for better things. read more

Food and service unmatched. $4 draft on Monday and $5 mimosas on Sunday. Really can't beat that! Over 10 TVs for the games.

INEDIBLE. Tri trip overcooked shoe leather. Dog food. I asked server for rare, my wife asked for medium rare...they came out the same overcooked thin, dry, terrible.

Corner Tap - Beer Bar Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

We came here twice and tried their sliders, tacos, pizza, wings, and mac and cheese. The smash burger sliders were better than the smash burger tacos. Wings were decent, not crispy enough for Korean wings. I like Von's in IV if I am craving Korean wings. The mac and cheese was delicious and you can taste the rich and creamy beer cheese. Detroit pizza looked incredible, but this style of pizza just isn't for me. The cheese was baked into the bottom of the crust and was too salty for me. I agree with another reviewer about how excessively salty and oily all the food were. While the food tasted pretty good, I didn't feel very good afterwards. Both times, I ended up in a food coma and woke up parched and needed to drink multiple glasses of water. Servers here always seem aloof. Both times we had to ask for water refills, check, another drink, etc. read more

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. read more

Well, looks like I'm updating my review again after tonight's take-out experience. We called for take-out at 7:54pm tonight and were informed that the kitchen was closing in 6 minutes and we would be limited in what we could order. We had wanted wings and the pear cashew salad, but since we weren't allowed to order the salad, we got wings, a flatbread pizza and the cauliflower app. The flatbread pizza was very good and looked like it always does. The wings were disappointing. Usually, you get half (or more) fat drumettes, but we got 5 wingettes and 2 small drumettes. The cauliflower is what sent me to Yelp to update my prior reviews. Clearly, we were sold the inedible charred bits in the roasting pan. The dish tasted like grease, olives and charcoal. I'm embarrassed for this Mesa establishment that I was charged $11.25 for such a colossal fail of a dish. It looks nothing like the other pics on Yelp of this dish. On Yelp the pics show fresh greens and herbs on top. There was none of that. The photograph is exactly how it looked when I opened it at home. When we were told the menu was limited, we didn't expect them to scrape the bottom of the pan and sell us the burned dregs. We will rethink ordering take-out from Corner Tap again. Whoever sold us this tonight didn't hesitate to rip us off. read more

Corner Tap - Cauliflower. Greasy and burned... tasted like charcoal and olives... a colossal fail of a dish. - Beer Bar Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

After reading about the new menu changes and hearing rave reviews from friends, we decided to check out Corner Tap for dinner. The place was pretty busy on the outside but the inside was nearly empty except for a few people at the bar and I think two tables. It's a seat yourself restaurant which I like so we grabbed a seat inside. The menu is a junk food high school athlete's dream. It's actually the type of fatty cheesy deep fried food that I crave sometimes but we all soon realized that it's extremely heavy and salty. More on that later. There were all sorts of problems from the get go. We were ready to order pretty quickly and when the server came we first asked her if we could get a beer flight because we saw them bringing them to tables plus it's on photos online. She asked me to repeat it twice because the music was SO LOUD inside. When I asked her again where the beer flights were listed, she said she didn't know what that was but could ask the bar. We told her to forget and ordered three drinks. There was a delay after each drink of about 10 seconds while she tapped in her Toast tablet. Then after the third drink she asked me to repeat the first drink again because she had forgotten it. Then came the food order which was not any better. 10 to 20 seconds to mark wings, pizza, etc. I really don't understand what was going on here. We also had to repeat things because again, they were blasting video game music (I am serious) inside. Then came like what felt like an eternity for the food to come. I am not sure if they do this by design but instead of bringing items when they are ready, they delay it and bring everything at once. Why? The good news is the food is good! The wings were my favorite (if you get dry rub they still give you ranch and buffalo sauce). The Detroit Pizza was good too but I am not sure how anyone could eat more than one slice. I think an adult could manage two slices if you didn't order anything out. I don't think anyone realizes how salty and *heavy* it is to eat this style of pizza. We also ordered the broccoli with romessco which was pretty inventive and delicious but it was cooked in a way that was pretty tough and not tender and they don't give you a knife of any kind. It was impossible to cut with a fork. I think this is a great "neighborhood" brewpub type place but I'd recommend sitting outside, speaking very slowly when you order, and really pay attention to what you are getting because it's not like other restaurants where you might order a dish a person to share or something. The food is extremely heavy and salty and you actually get kind of fatigued eating it. I can see recommending this place to certain crowds or groups of people but I can't see myself trying to come here too often. I hope they can fix their noise and ordering system. read more

This restaurant needs some improvement. The service and the food are not good. I ordered a salad with chicken and they brought me one with salami instead. When I told the server about it, he went into the kitchen to get me canned chicken! Disgusting they didn't make a new salad for me when they actually made the mistake. My husband order a pizza that said in the menu that will have tomato sauce, but they brought one with NO tomato sauce. When we told the server about this mistake, he brought us cold tomato sauce right out of the fridge. Unacceptable! When we asked for the bill, they didn't print out the receipt for us, they just told us the final number. I have never seen something like that in a restaurant. I like to check the bill before I pay it! This restaurant deserves 0 starts. read more

I enjoyed the setting with Tables, heat lamps, some Place is spacious parking in the back and not having to wait for a table. Food was excellent. Korean wings were delicious, tender, excellent flavor. Nachos were good. Chips and salsa on the side were delicious. My kid could not get enough of the buffalo wings... His face was covered. Most of all I was impressed with the Detroit style pizza, which had crispy , butter, cheesy crust, pan style. The Lieutenant Dan pizza with sausage and Gouda and Alfredo sauce, which can be heavy, was not my style but I thought it was delicious. I'll definitely be back. The server was nice too.

I can easily say this is the best pizza I have had in town. I absolutely loved the mushroom pizza with the ricotta. It's very rich and delicious and when I reheated it the next day it was just as perfect. Boyfriend got a meat pizza with bolognese sauce and was very happy with it as well. We ordered our food to go so I have no idea what the place is like but I will definitely visit. read more

Upon arrival no one greeted us at the door, until a server told us to sit wherever. So my party and I decided to sit in a booth, which had some water and crumbs on it, no big deal it happens. Guy server with blonde ish hair came over and asked us if we were ready, which we were still browsing the menu. Got drinks going, which if you want a beer this should be the only reason you go here. Pizza had zero flavor on it, which is the pizza our server recommended. Felt super rushed while eating. Server didn't even present us a check or ask us if we needed anything else. Proceeded to hand us over the little machine so we could pay. Thought to give this place a chance, since they reopened. Definitely won't be going back, and I wouldn't bother going unless I'm desperate for a beer on draught. read more

This corner restaurant is one I've driven past many times and always told myself, "I'm going to go there one day." Well, i finally did so here's what I thought. Parking is a little difficult; you either find some in the back or drive to the shopping center behind them and walk. There is outdoor seating but most tables are for two people or sit at the barstools and face the streets. Numerous TVs to watch the news, sports, whatever is up and showing. The menu is small but the creativity is there. We scanned the code at the table for a list of specials; which we picked two items from. The pretzel was warm and delicious! Get one! The sandwich special was good, not great. The flat bread was tasty and a solid choice. My son inhaled the pasta with marinara sauce. It's listed as kid friendly and I would agree. read more
