Social TAP
American Eatery
Ventura, CA

Renovation of a 6,000-square-foot building on behalf of San Diego-based Rivera Family Restaurants. The development team of Rivera and ACI transformed a building that sat vacant for many years into Social Tap American Eatery. 

​

The building shell was left with concrete floors and exposed wood trusses. Natural light and airflow were created by adding five roll-up garage doors, allowing the energy of the beach to flow through. The colors are earthy and natural as well. A custom 24-foot-long light fixture hangs over the bar, made of four six-foot wood rings connected by ten six-inch core I-beams that house the lights. 

​

Other design features include acid-washed steel plate restroom partitions, pebble rock walls and columns, and door handles made from pipe fittings.
