TapHouse Kitchen is ready for the New Year opening its doors Fri., Jan. 4, in the bustling North 32nd neighborhood, at 3131 E Shea Blvd., Phoenix, AZ 85028, delivering delicious food and drink in a casually sophisticated atmosphere.
The highly anticipated spot boasts interior and exterior features 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 barnwood, 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.
“We’re thrilled to expand the TapHouse Kitchen family with this second location and fill the demand for quality dining in North Central Phoenix,” said Executive Chef Patrick Karvis. “We’re excited to deliver an expanded menu in comfortable yet sophisticated surroundings that the neighborhood will appreciate.
“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!”
