Tapville Social Unveils New Restaurant Design Standards
Naperville, IL. October 2024 – Tapville Social is excited to introduce its new 2025 Restaurant Design Standards, making their debut at the Austin, TX location. This fresh design direction reflects Tapville's commitment to creating modern, inviting spaces that enhance its elevated pub-style menu and customer-focused experience. The new design focuses on transparency, simplicity, and comfort, blending open layouts, natural materials, and thoughtful details.
Renowned designer Rob Herrmann shared insight into the creative process behind the new look:
“We wanted to bring a fresh, forward-thinking approach to the design by moving towards lighter woods and clean, honest materials like porcelain tile and stained concrete floors. The goal was to create an inviting and progressive space that still respects Tapville’s approachable, elevated style,” said Herrmann. "We also incorporated structured glass with oak fins to offer a sense of privacy without full seclusion, ensuring the environment is both comfortable and open."
One of the standout features of the new design is the inclusion of multi-functional event spaces that can be partitioned for privacy but also double as overflow seating, making Tapville an ideal venue for private events. These flexible spaces cater to a range of guest needs, from intimate gatherings to larger parties, while maintaining the inviting and relaxed atmosphere Tapville is known for.
The design takes inspiration from Tapville’s core philosophy of being “open and honest,” mirroring its straightforward yet elevated pub favorites. “We’re not about unnecessary extravagance but about delivering an elevated experience in everything we do,” Herrmann added.
Key features of the new design include:
A light, open atmosphere with natural wood finishes and exposed metalwork
Stained concrete floors that embrace the character and imperfections of the space
Structured glass partitions for privacy without sacrificing visibility
Multi-functional event spaces that offer privacy for private events while also serving as flexible seating areas
A warm, approachable environment perfect for a casual drink or a family dinner
The Austin location will be the first to showcase this updated design. Tapville plans to implement these standards in future locations, further enhancing the guest experience while staying true to the brand’s core values.
