| - You know it's an intense love affair when you can't keep me away. I stinkin adore this place so much I spent my entire weekend crushing hard on it. It was a lovefest that still lingers on my mind and tastebuds. Old Town is stepping up its foodie game with the grand opening of Social Tap. Amidst all the bars and hodgepodge eateries, I love that you have a classy sports bar with the chill vibe and good energy of a hot spot. Food was consistently good, actually rather amaze balls, so I have to give major kudos to the staff when you can ease through a grand opening with very little kinks. I think they purposely plucked all the eye candy available and hired them to serve to your every whim here. The décor is understated sexy with spacious patio seating, booths made perfectly for canoodling and bar stools that are plush on the bum.
For starters, hands down I love the ahi poke and the sweet chili wings. I will say I prefer my ranch thicker so it sticks on the wings as I suck the life out of it. The chips and salsa with a side of guac, are addictive. The salsa has this hint of chipotle sweetness and spicy. If you want light, order the grilled shrimp tacos. How I managed to eat two after the starters is beyond my friends...what can I say, tiny girl big appetite. However, my eyes locked in on the rib-eye steak. Cooked perfectly how I like it but the only disappointing part was they ran out of mac-n-cheese on the soft opening night. You obviously know where this is leading to - return visit of course. Whether you want to close out weekend or start the week, Sundays have half off bottles of wine. Need I say more? Well actually, they'll tease you on Mondays with free dessert when you purchase two entrees and drinks. Why must you flirt shamelessly with me Social??!!!!
This is a 4-star simply because I want to wait to update my review when the rooftop patio opens up. More importantly, I can't wait til football season!!! Just the right amount of TVs to keep my eyes glued on the games. Hopefully it will remain a neutral bar rather than a designated team spot. As their motto states - Eat. Drink. Be social. In the playground of pretentiousness, Social is a place you can be you. Stop in and pull a chair up next to me because most likely you'll see my happy face grazing on 3000 calories, often and here.
