Local Family BRINGS Tapville Restaurant to PITTSBURGH, PA
Pittsburgh, PA. August 2023. Tapville Social is thrilled to announce its latest addition in the vibrant heart of Pittsburgh's Strip District. Tapville Social is a socially-driven dining concept that features cocktail flights, boozy brunches, a self-pour tap wall, and an American classic menu.
The franchisees behind this exciting venture are Dennis and Sheila Durmis, local Pittsburgh natives who have a strong passion for their community. Dennis and Sheila's journey to becoming franchisees for Tapville Social has been shaped by their strong ties to the Pittsburgh area and their dedication to fostering memorable social experiences.
Sheila Durmis, having been instrumental in the start-up of her family’s Crumbl franchises in North Huntingdon, PA, and Wheeling, WV, brings a wealth of experience in launching and managing successful ventures.
Denny Durmis, with a distinguished career spanning 23 years, brings a versatile set of business skills ranging from general management and marketing to operations and finance.
"We have been actively seeking distinctive franchise opportunities within the Pittsburgh area, and when we discovered Tapville and its self-pour concept, we were instantly captivated," shared Sheila and Denny. "The innovative self-pour technology, coupled with Tapville's robust digital marketing approach and our firsthand experience meeting the Tapville corporate team in Chicago, solidified our decision. The emphasis on automated convenience, high-quality offerings, enjoyable experiences, wide variety of beverages, community engagement, and exceptional franchisee support stood out to us, making it an easy choice to become a part of the Tapville family."
"We are thrilled to bring the innovative spirit of Tapville Social to the vibrant city of Pittsburgh. The Strip District's rich culture and community align perfectly with our vision of creating a space where people can come together to explore exceptional craft beverages and forge lasting connections. This marks an exciting milestone as we continue to expand our footprint, and we can't wait to share the Tapville experience with the Pittsburgh community. We are excited to bring a new, exciting location for Steelers, Penguins and Pirates fans to watch the games," says Joseph Tota, Tapville CEO.
Tapville Social is poised to stand out as a captivating destination, seamlessly melding the most enticing facets of a cocktail bar, craft beer haven, boozy brunch spot and a vibrant social club. The tap wall itself will serve as a testament to our commitment, featuring an expansive collection of meticulously curated craft beers that proudly champion local independent breweries.
Well known for creating fun and engaging culinary events to unite friends and family, many of these events, including Tapville’s signature “Cupcakes & Cocktails” pairing, involve partnering with other local food and beverage businesses to create unique circumstances in each market.
Tapville Social - Pittsburgh will have a special treat for wine connoisseurs. Imported from Italy, Enomatic self-pour wine machines bring about a transformation in the way we experience wine-tasting. Wine enthusiasts are able to enjoy a range of wines and relish in accurate, customized servings. This groundbreaking technology now allows individuals to pour wine by the ounce from premium bottles that are not traditionally available in self pour. Enomatic provides the freedom to taste different vintages and types without the obligation of a full glass.
The forthcoming Tapville Social location in Pittsburgh's Strip District promises to be a hub of camaraderie, discovery, and enjoyment. The Durmis family's commitment to enhancing the Pittsburgh community aligns seamlessly with Tapville Social's core values, making this collaboration an exciting prospect for all involved.
