The Tallgrass Tap House is a restaurant and brewery in the historic and revitalized downtown district of Manhattan, Kansas. The main two story dining space is organized around a central bar; the hub of activity. On-site brewing tanks are treated throughout the building as architectural features highlighting the brewing process.

The original building was a one story department store. Major renovations were undertaken to facilitate the new rooftop beer garden, tall dining spaces and added mezzanine, and the new full service commercial kitchen. Other program spaces include private dining rooms, a view-in fermentation room, a brewhouse, and a second separated bar and dining area. This 11,000 square foot facility was designed to hold seating for 320 while still offering an intimate experience.
