Located at the intersection of the University of Texas and downtown Austin, Tapville Social is the ultimate destination for fine dining and self-pour taps, offering a full-service kitchen and distinctive Austin flair. As the final tenant on the ERS building’s first floor, the Tapville Social was also able to capitalize on strong positioning, including a prime location at the corner of MLK Blvd and San Jacinto.
The Lawrence Group hospitality team, operating under an ongoing IDIQ contract with the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC), was challenged with incorporating existing utilities and piping from the adjacent UT Health space, which traveled through the Tapville space and filled the Tapville ceiling. Our team designed around existing conditions and worked daily with the contractor to make valves and filters accessible once Tapville was complete.
Tapville now serves State of Texas employees, members of the nearby UT community, and the general public. Private parties are served from a private dining room, while the MLK Blvd wall opens to accommodate outdoor seating and musical performances.
