Social

Social has 3 floors and is ready to host your next party!

  • Over 20 Flat screens
  • $7.45 daily Lunch Special
  • Private Party Space Available

Occupying 3 enormous & well-realized floors in the hottest section of Hell's Kitchen, this newcomer combo won't be hard to find. In the back of the 1st floor sits a sensible & roomy collection of tables where generous helpings from a full-service kitchen supports Social's exertion as a formidable all purpose haunt. A staircase that's been thoughtfully accented leads to a 2nd floor, which marks a half way point between the leisurely neighborhood dynamic of the first floor's pub & the VIP vibe of the 3rd floor's Fusion lounge. The west side of the second floor staircase houses an "Irish room" with dark wood furnishings that complete a stylish interpretation of a modern & traditionally fused Celtic lodge hybrid, complete with a smaller bar that's highly serviceable but intended for its own private corner of this roomy complex.

To Book a Party, call/email Maggie at info@socialbarnyc.com.

Editorial Review for Social – by Meg Duffy

In Short
On the first floor, exposed brick walls and dimly lit chandeliers lend a bit of class, while the four big screen televisions solidify Social's neighborhood status. After work, the sounds of hip-hop and pop competes with the chatter of 20- to 40-somethings. Venture to the second and third floors for more drinking options, or to the fourth floor, Fusion, for lounging. Ten tap beers, 13 bottle beers, wine and mixed drinks are served, plus an affordable food menu.

I frequent social often, and whenever I'm there, whether it be with some friends or co-workers, we are always treated with such politeness. I've noticed some new staff working there, and they're very personable and attentive. I always have a great time when I visit -- the food is tasty, the drinks are priced just right (especially since everything else seems to be costly), and the overall atmosphere is very laid-back and casual. There's none of this pretentiousness, as is the case in other places. And the music is great, too -- a mix of all sorts of stuff, which is nice. If you're looking for something different, and want to feel at home, then this is your place -- one will not be disappointed.

Pros: Attentiveness, Drinks, Food, Location
