Read More On Citysearch CandyD2287 3/2/2010 - Burgers are the bestI am extremely picky when it comes to hamburgers. Someone told me that Social's were the best. And I have to agree. They are amazing...and also come with a plentiful serving of fries. I don't drink but my boyfriend said they made a great Manhattan. The waitress we had was also very friendly and kept my soda glass filled. I will definitely be back soon to try other food.
Read More On Citysearch CAS62287 2/22/2010 - Great PartyI was invited to a birthday party last Friday night and had a blast. They had a private room on the 3rd floor and open bar. The music and drinks were awesome. I thought it was cool that they had coat racks on our floor so I didn't have to walk all the the way downstairs if I needed to smoke. I could just grab my coat and walk outside on the patio. This was a plus! I will definitely be back h...
Read More On Citysearch ElizS1 2/15/2010 - A lot going on hereI like Social because it's a good mix of both a pub/lounge and also plays good music that you may hear at a more upscale place. The food is really good and I love coming for Monday Night Trivia. Oh and I love how the staff always remembers me when I come in.
Read More On Citysearch SSmith795 2/5/2010 - Neighborhood BarI frequent this bar often, either with friends on the weekends or with co-workers (I work 3 blocks away), and everytime I'm here, I have a really nice time. This place is lovely, and the staff is really friendly, not to mention the food --- oh, the sliders (yummy!) and the burgers (my favorite is the cajun). What I like about it is that they make you feel right at home, maybe that is why I keep...
Read More On Citysearch llmoon 3/11/2009 - Great Private PartyI recently had a private party again at Social, and we had a wonderful evening. For the second straight year our event was a success. Social once again went above and beyond and we greatly appreciate everything the staff did for us. I lost count of how many times the manager came upstairs to check in and make sure things were going well. Our bartender was just amazing and I would certainly ask fo...

We came for dinner and a few cocktails and ended up coming back the next night. Our waitress was really sweet and recommended some great food! When we moved to the bar our bartender was a lot of fun. He was making jokes and doing goofy dance moves behind the bar. We had a great time! I will definite...
Read More On Citysearch ksdiva 1/26/2009 - Great Crowd and staffOne of the best run bars in the city, went w/ a large group of friends unplanned and couldn't have been better taken care of. We were orginally only going for a couple of drinks to pre-game before hitting a club but ended up staying the night. Can't say enough of what a good time we had!!!

Read More On Citysearch jeffreynoon 9/26/2008 - Polite & AttentiveI 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 atmos...

You need to give him a raise and adversite him! Our server was wonderful, beautiful woman with dark hair, and really long eyelashes. We were a party of about 20 and she didn't miss a beat! The service and staff were wonderful! We will be back next time we are in NYC!

Read More On Citysearch mathewm10021 3/11/2008 - Nice Bar...Good Happy HourWent in Monday night and they had a pretty good crowd. The upstairs was closed, but that's alright, because the main bar was enough. Couple colleagues joined me later on. They come here often, so I went off of their recommendation. I never knew, but they did Trivia Night mondays. This was the 1st time I heard or saw anything like this before, but I will admit it was interesting. The guy who...

We were somewhat on the early side (9p), so the bar wasn't as packed, and we were able to get a seat right away. The waitress was so polite and very attentive. Not once did we need to ask for more drinks, or extra napkins - she was right there every time. My friends and I had such a great time, that by the time we had to leave, we wanted...
Read More On Citysearch zoem 2/25/2008 - Not the bar to go to everrrr
I was dragged to this bar on Saturday night and I couldn't believe how horrible it was. The bouncers are on a power trip and they prefer a female crowd. My guy friends were told the bar was packed when that was far from true. The drinks are weak and the crowd was very odd. I recommend you go elsewhere
Read More On Citysearch sakina 2/25/2008 - Best Bar for Happy Hours and Private Parties!!I have been to Social for office Happy Hours, Thursday/Friday night drinks with old friends and, recently, a b-day celebration for my husband. Each time, I enjoyed great, friendly service from their bartenders and staff, consistently tasty food and drinks, as well as clean bathrooms (which is sooo important to me!)
In terms of appetizers, the Mini Deep Dish Pizzas had a delicate, flaky crust ...
Read More On Citysearch DVach 1/28/2008 - Socialize at SocialI visited this place with friends just before the holidays and had a nice time. It was packed during happy hour, full of guys (ladies). Good service and bar menu. This is a comfy place to socialize and be social :D
If you get there around 6P you can snag a table. There's an upstairs, but I didn't see it (private party).
Read More On Citysearch gripdxd 1/2/2008 - Great Local BarI've been coming to Social for over 2 years now, and just wanted to let you guys know that I really enjoy coming here....you always are on top of your game - the staff is pleasant and very accommodating, as is the manager. I love the bar food - totally reasonable for what you get and how much of it. My office is located around the corner, and I've recommended this place to them several times, a...

I've walked past this spot plenty of times, and even thought I've seen people go-in and come-out, I never actually went in, until now. Geez, what have I been missing?! Our party was on the 3rd floor (note to self to not pretend to be in shape when climing all those stairs) which ju...

gave the bartender a 50 and needed 40 back for change..she took my 50, ignored me, and served someone else. i had to ask for my own change back.
just bring exact cash there.
Read More On Citysearch citang83 11/11/2007 - great place for singlesI've frequented this hot spot for a few years now and everytime I go there, it's the jump off. It's an amazing place for a crew of friends to stop at after work and on the weekend. Food there is better than most bars and the outside rooftop bar is amazing during the summer. Whether you are a sports guy, a club girl or anything in between, this bar has it all for everyone. Check it out the nex...
Read More On Citysearch scottywo 9/12/2007 - Great for parties and happy hour!This is a true New York bar! Great people, great atmosphere. Prices are average, but happy hour is fun. I've been to two parties here- one for a TV wrap party which was GREAT, and one that my friends threw me for my 23rd birthday. A great mix of people- not too elitist and not too casual either- although you can fit in if you're either or. Recommended if you live in NY or if you're visiting.

Read More On Citysearch dinero313 8/22/2007 - Friendly and FunI had a great time here. I was alone on business and came here for the first time. The place was packed and the yankees/Mets were on every tv. They did not bat an eye when I asked them to put on the Red Sox; very friendly staff. The barmaid was the most efficient I ever saw. The place very crowded and I think only two bartenders but she was filling my glass as soon as it was empty. It was a...

The staff was extremely nice and upfront by answering any questions I had about pricing and booking. From the moment we entered the bar up until the very last minute of exiting, everyone was just super nice. Once my guests and I arrived, we were all very impressed with the room issued. Our bartender was ridiculously nice and it felt ...

In a city full of high-strung and rude people, Social is the place to get away from it all. Hands down the BEST bar crowd in the city. Everyone there is always so friendly and fun and don't be surprised if the person standing next to you strikes up a con...
Read More On Citysearch miss_k 6/22/2007 - Great fun, great atmosphere, great bouncerAnd Social it is. It started with the bouncer, a big tattooed bruiser of a guy who immediately got on my good side when he asked me for ID. I'm 57! I cudda kissed him! Throughout the night he was on the lookout for members of our group, shepharding them around, making sure that they found us in the huge place. Definitely one of New York's best bouncers. Then the folks inside. For some reason, the...

I organized a small grouping and had such a wonderful time! It was perfect! The food was great, the bartendars were terrfic and basically the entire vibe was really fun. Also, the manager and the staff kept checking in to make sure eveything was going as it should.

The second floor was closed for private parties, but the third floor was open....what a great space! The outdoor patio is the best! It was a bit busy up there, but we didn't mind.

Olive Garden??)
Read More On Citysearch fishfood 10/17/2005 - Fun Midtown JointNo cover, no problem. 3 levels of good fun, especially in this area of the theatre district. The bouncers act tough, but with a little charm and some cute ladies they'll be real nice. Don't sweat the drink prices, as its $4 a beer and $5.50 a cocktail. It works as a pub, a lounge, but fails miserably as a sports bar. They're too busy spinning with a DJ at night, some very mainstream hip hop ...

For my friend's BIRTHDAY a group of 25-30 went to this otherwise empty bar. After HEAVILY tipping the bartender for over an hour, and not being rowdy or anything, the birthday girl spilled her drink, the glass broke, so we asked for another. At which point, the bartender asked us to LEAVE. Needless to say, we were confused. When I demanded to see the manager, the barback asked me where I work...

We hung out on the 2nd floor where the crowd was minimal and we weren't bothered too much by the bridge and tunnel crowd.

Upstairs is a lounge area with a separate bar AND a separate Guiness only tap room decorated like an English library in red leather & wood. The 3rd floor is a totally separa...
