Excellent food, and attentive service…read more The beet salad with chicken that I had was expertly prepared--I mean a perfect blend of a myriad of flavors. Everything was fresh. Others had burgers, and sautéed Brussel sprouts. One of has had carne asada fries--it was an enormous portion. Drink refills were plentiful and the server was constantly checking in on us, but in a very attentive and non-intrusive way. We liked him a lot. The list of draft beers is notable, and my partner and a flight of four. The prices were reasonable, especially for the quality of food and the level of service we experienced. If you're in Fort Collins, I'd recommend checking out this comfy restaurant.

I would have loved to enjoy their patio area instead of being stuck inside on my laptop, but at least they have decent Wi-Fi connection. I didn't care too much for their food - I think I had wings - but their beer was good. I might try a sandwich or salad if I ever come here again, but I do like checking breweries off my list!

My girlfriend and I went to Social for happy hour and appetizers about a week ago and had an…read moreabsolutely wonderful time. We originally planned to stay for happy hour, but ended up spending nearly three hours there because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Social is one of those rare places that completely lives up to the hype. From the moment you walk downstairs, the atmosphere transports you to another era. The speakeasy vibe is authentic without feeling gimmicky, and every detail has clearly been thoughtfully designed. It's a super cool speakeasy with a warm, inviting interior that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. We shared the charcuterie board, which was excellent, and enjoyed both the champagne and the bourbon. Everything was high quality and thoughtfully prepared. Ryan, our bartender, really made the experience special. He treated us exceptionally well, made us feel genuinely welcome, and provided outstanding service throughout the evening. What started as a plan to enjoy happy hour turned into one of the most enjoyable evenings we've had in a long time. It's the perfect place for a date night or simply a relaxing evening with exceptional food, outstanding cocktails, and an atmosphere that's second to none. We'll definitely be back now that we live here in Fort Collins. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Fort Collins, Social is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!

I don't love cocktails and their food menu is sparse, but if you want to impress a date or treat yourself to tasteful drinking, it's a nice place.

My server made sure to back me and my friend up when he started to get defensive. Thank you brother, you are an ally to the lesbian community.

Fresh, quality ingredients, nothing too fancy, just incredible cooking technique for a reasonable "nice dinner" price. The ambiance is small and humble, but still feels like a nice night out. Service is great, and they all look like they've been chosen from a casting agency for a small town restaurant drama. Warning if you have a vertical ID: even if you can legally drink, they might not take it and WILL lecture you.

The Lamb Merguez Meatballs were the standout. Spiced, saucy, topped with something cool and creamy, blew my tastebuds away. The Halibut Ceviche was very good and big enough to share with the table. The Regional Salad held its own as a side. Beer, wine, and full bar are all well stocked, and the bar itself was packed with what looked like regulars catching up. Service was friendly from the door to the table. No complaints there. Heads up on the noise. For the first 15 minutes we couldn't hear the couple sitting across from us. Once the party behind us cleared out, it dropped to a normal restaurant volume, but if you're picky about hearing your dinner conversation, ask for a table away from the bar side. Not cheap, but it never claimed to be. You're paying for local sourcing and a place people actually want to hang out at. Go for the meatballs and the ceviche. Come early or sit on the patio if you want to talk. Come hungry and thirsty if you just want to be in the mix.

2.5, edging down to 2 stars…read more Not the best food experience I've ever had. They're rated really high -- actually one of the highest-rated restaurants in Fort Collins -- and from a food perspective I don't really understand why. Sliders with sweet potato fries -- fine, nothing extraordinary. Potato éclairs -- . It was really just mashed potatoes with some topping on it. I honestly didn't even finish it. Mountain oysters -- huge letdown. They came out so overcooked they were basically crunchier than potato chips, with the batter crumbling off. I've never had them before, so I didn't get a good representation of how they're supposed to be -- these were just super-cooked batter. On the space: we ended up sitting in three different spots to eat. We went outside by the street first -- super loud, and people were smoking, so we headed back in. The open spot inside was right under the AC and about forty degrees, so we moved to the back area. The back was fine -- covered -- but pretty dirty, with mop buckets and clutter sitting around. The one drink I had was a good value since we were there at happy hour -- some kind of fruity whiskey drink. It was fine, but nothing I'd seek out again. I hate to give such a friendly place a bad review. It'd be a really great spot if you're a college student who wants some cheap bites and a drink -- but honestly it's just bar food, and the ceiling is probably a 4 on a really good day. I wouldn't get excited to head down there, and parking is a bit of a hassle too. Would recommend only if you're after very cheap eats in that area -- check them out for happy hour. But I would not return.

The person who helped us, answered questions we had about the ciders and even gave me a splash of one so I could make a decision. My daughter chose The Scrumper with their Apple Strudel Cider. Her burger had double cheddar, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and their house burger sauce. She enjoyed the burger and the cider was exactly what she was looking for. I chose The Hatch with their Blackberry Cobbler Cider. It had grilled Hatch green chiles, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and chipotle aioli. I got it medium. It was done just right. The fries were crispy and nicely seasoned. Overall, enjoyable lunch with tasty beverages.
