The editorial take
Social Bar & Lounge pairs a wide-ranging cocktail list with a serious zero-proof menu and a wine program that spans everyday glasses to Cristal. Classics like the Sazerac and Rare Manhattan show craft intent, while happy hour keeps entry points accessible. A lounge atmosphere and attentive service round out the experience.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Rare Manhattan (Eagle Rare, Antica Carpano) or the Naked & Famous for mezcal depth. For a non-alcoholic option, the Spice 94 Mule delivers ginger bite. Happy hour's $5 well cocktails and mules are a value play.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail enthusiasts seeking classics with premium spirits, wine drinkers wanting both value and luxury pours, and non-drinkers who appreciate a dedicated zero-proof list beyond a single mocktail.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $13-$17, wines by the glass $10-$74, champagne $32-$495, and drafts $6-$8. Happy hour drops well drinks, mules, select wines, and all taps to $5.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The zero-proof program is a standout, with Seedlip-based creations like the Grove 42 Mai Tai and Italian Spritz that mirror the craft of the main menu. The wine list's leap from Angeline to Louis Roederer Cristal shows range.
