The Social Bar + Kitchen - Gastropub in New London - 208 Bank St, USA

4 stars only because at 2pm only brunch menu was available on Sunday. Would have been nice to have more options. Sammie our bartender & server was great! The mixologist style drinks are great! Large selection of anything you want. Great ambiance.

They were out of my first three selections of beer. I ordered for crispy chicken wings that came out undercooked.

Only one server during happy hour just to start. I understand having a huge top to serve we were the only guest besides 1 other table and guest who showed up 20 mins later were eating burgers 10 mins before I got my appetizer. And the food was cold. The server she was amazing and very friendly and accommodating and probably too good to work here. Recommend the server Jacinta but the restaurant not as much.

Needed a cake within the week, Suzy, their baker, was outstanding. Quickly reaching out after submitting a request, and perfectly created a cake to my desires. Incredibly flexible not only with scheduling, but the creation of my cake as well.

Ordered a burger “medium” and it was inedible, over well done and charred. Waiter brought the wrong drink and the bartender rudely addressed us when we walked in. She said we had to wait to be seated, yet there was no hostess to seat us. Will never return.

My first time visiting in this bar. Had lots of good reviews so figured to try. Atmosphere is fantastoc. It has that rustic, vintage look and feel. A selection of draft beer is mind blowing. The whole 50 of them. Overall I give it 4 stars as the service was a bit on a slow side even tho the place was not busy at all. I will definitely dome back to try more beers and listen to live music.

Super disappointed by my experience at Social. We had a 6:30 reservation before an 8:00 show, server came by at 6:45 and we ordered drinks, which were fine. At 7:15 when we asked to order food, we were told they had to check with the kitchen, and they didn’t come back for another 10-15 minutes. We ended up ordering 3 apps for 5 of us and had to run out at 7:50 to get up the street for 8. The restaurant was active, but didn’t seem super busy. Probably will not go back.

The burger was average and dry. And the tofu bites were a bit oily. The sauces were really good. I did get very sick after I ate here.
