Elizabeth Sent on 09/10/2022Delicious!! (August 2022 San Diego Wedding)
Brant and the Social Tap Catering team were amazing! They catered our wedding at Venue 808 in August 2022 and we cannot say enough good things about the quality of their food and service. When we scheduled our tasting Brant was very helpful in recommending the appetizers and entrees that are most popular and would go over well with our guests. He was also very patient with us as we asked him a ton of questions about the process. He worked with us very closely to craft the perfect food and drink menu and we received several compliments from our guests on how delicious everything was. Our personal favorites were the vegetable spring rolls and the poke cones that were passed around. For our entree we chose the duo plate of short rib and chicken and it was a winner among all our guests. The flavor combination was delicious and we liked the ease of not having to track meal options for 150 people (except for dietary restrictions - which they made super easy as well!).
In addition to the wonderful food service, the bartenders and cocktails were five-stars! Each mixed drink was absolutely delicious and they took the time to make sure every cocktail was crafted perfectly. We’ve been to weddings where the bartenders didn’t know what they were doing and the drinks reflected that, but that was not the case here as each bartender was very knowledgeable about what they were pouring and efficient in serving all our guests. We also added on a specialty bartender for the speakeasy activation and he shared insight about all the different types of tastings he was pouring. The speakeasy experience was both educational and delicious!
We loved everything about our bar and catering. Brant and the entire Social Tap team went above and beyond to make our wedding a special experience for both us and our guests!

Stephnie Sent on 05/12/2019Flexible and responsive
Social Tap was the first vendor I had contacted about catering our reception. I was pretty clueless about pricing and what it may include, or more importantly what it may not include that I didn’t know about.
Brant contacted me fairly quickly after my request. We kept in touch through several emails and phone calls as he explained the different options and pricing. He was very willing to plan a menu that would be within our budget yet still impress our guests. We were easily able to come up with a good time for a tasting despite our busy work schedules.
Unfortunately our venue did not work out for us. We ended up going with a place that is all inclusive. But I’m sure otherwise we would have booked Social Tap due to Brant. He was very accommodating and Informative. I don’t like when vendors are aggressive and seem to only want your money, and this was definitely not the case here. Another factor was the prices. Upon doing more research, they were quite reasonable.Social Tap Catering's reply:
Thank you for the kind words. I wish you the best with your wedding and please let me know if we can be of service in the future. -

Ryan L. Sent on 07/02/2019Catered our wedding with bar service
My wife and I chose social tap to cater our wedding after being recommended from our wedding planner. Our tasting with social tap was awesome! Brant, the owner, let us sample his most recommended items and they were ALL DELICIOUS. He was amazing during the whole planning process and outlined everything in detail so we knew exactly what to expect on the day of the wedding. His communication was excellent, he really listened to our wants and needs and delivered flawlessly. We had A LOT of compliments from our guests, most of which went back for seconds and thirds! Social tap provided everything we needed from a caterer, they executed the cocktail hour, the dinner with apps and drinks flawlessly, the food was delicious, and the process was painless! Highly recommended for a one stop shop in catering and bar service.Social Tap Catering's reply:
Thanks, Ryan. It was a pleasure serving you and your bride. Thank you for being such gracious hosts. Your guests were amazing and fun to work with as were you during the entire process. Please let me host you for a night out at our restaurant when you're back in town. -

Kristin D. Sent on 06/23/2019Fantastic choice
We chose Social Taps (Brant) to cater our wedding and we were NOT disappointed. From the start, Brant was open to our ideas and explored what food choices were would best for us. He was able to make adjustments to meet the needs of us and our guests. All the guests raved about the food and several went back for seconds and thirds. We would highly recommend Social Taps to anyone!Social Tap Catering's reply:

Heather Sent on 03/20/2019Amazing food and service!
Wedding planning was extremely overwhelming, so many choices and so many vendors to choose from I didn’t know where to start. After my very first phone call with Brant from Social Tap I knew I found our caterer! He genuinely cared about my vision for what I wanted but also knew exactly how to work with my budget and make sure our wedding was as stress free as possible. He was so quick to respond and always available when I had any questions. Brant and his whole team did an amazing job at our wedding! We went with the taco bar and had beer and wine. Everyone was so impressed with the food, drinks and service! I highly recommend choosing them so your wedding can be as perfect and stress free as possible!! Thank you Social Tap!Social Tap Catering's reply:
Thank you, Heather. It was a pleasure serving you and Regan!! We truly appreciate that you trusted us with your wedding service and were honored to be a part of it. -

Jennie Sent on 11/01/2018Amazing Service and Food!
If you’re still in search of the perfect caterer, you cannot do better than Brant and his team at Social Tap. We hired them for our wedding in downtown San Diego.
The food was fantastic (ahi poke tacos, buffalo sliders, wine braised short ribs, shrimp penne pasta, rosemary chicken, and a ton of sides). I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Our friends and family raved about the delicious food too. The open bar was just as amazing. They included welcome drinks for the ceremony and a signature drink for the night.
We were so lucky to work with Brant for the entire process. Once you meet him, you'll know he's the guy you want to work with. He’s friendly, flexible, and responds quickly. He provided us with the bartenders, wait staff, and even people to help move our rental equipment around. He made sure we ate on that hectic day by fixing us some plates too. We don't know what we would have done without him!
All in all, if my husband and I had to do it again, we would have hired them sooner. No other vendor matched the quality of their work and pricing. Do yourself a favor and reach out to them! You won’t regret it. :) -
Katie Sent on 08/01/2018I wanted to express our appreciation for the tremendous work Brant and his staff did in providing the food catering, drinks, dish and stemware for our wedding reception on June 23rd of this year. Here are a few of the things that blessed us most: Brant and his staff's professionalism, cheerfulness and generosity during our three tasting visits at Social Tap, located in downtown San Diego. Your weekly follow ups between that first meeting and our event. You and your team’s punctuality in bringing the food and drinks to the reception. You and your staff’s generous offer to assist with things during the wedding and after. And of course... the delicious food !!! I will highly recommend anyone to use Social Tap Catering for catering events and particularly to work with Brant. The day was one of the best days our my wife and I’s life; thank you again Brant, for the role you played in making it a success. Sincerely, David & Katie G

Brian G. Sent on 06/26/2019Social Tap is the F&B vendor for all your needs!
We hosted a recurring member networking event at Pannikin Building in mid-June of 2019 for local cannabis business owners and had an absolutely amazing experience working with Social Tap Catering for our F&B needs during the event.
I have to make special mention of their owner Brant as he specifically helped us execute amazing F&B service within a very limited timeframe, all while hosting an event of comparable size at their venue nearby! We had some trouble finding a low-cost vendor which could supply food and beverage service initially but once we connected with STE our event was supplied with a fantastic spread of light appetizers throughout and topped it off with an amazing dessert platter to end the evening.
Their food service staff ensured all our displays were set up before and maintained throughout our event. We split service between the first and final hour of the event with more heavy selections along with dessert brought out to conclude the evening and guests really loved the variety offered.
The beverage service was courteous and efficient with all servers being very attentive to the needs of our guests. We coordinated a minimum which needed to be reached at the cash bar along with supplying drink tickets and the split service was easily coordinated between all involved.
I cannot recommend Social Tap Catering for all your event needs either corporate or social in nature. Don't hesitate, book now!Social Tap Catering's reply:
Thanks so much for the review, Brian! We had such a great time working with you and your event. Hope to work with you again in the future!
