This is a decent little business which I hope is able to get off the ground. My brother and I visited this past Sunday. I think they have been open less than a week at this point. I ordered "The Herbalist" which was a gin/ herb cocktail. My brother, who is more a Miller Lite kind of guy ordered the "Raspberry Robbery" which was a fruitier vodka drink. It was worth the trip just to see him drink that pink girly drink, lol. Out of our two drinks, I think his was the better choice. The menu said it contained egg whites, which sounded gross, but turned out to be totally fine. We sat at the bar, given that there was pretty much no one else with us in the bar, and we had a great view of the distilling equipment. There was also a pretty neat area where it looked as if you could sit inside the former bank vault. My one criticism would be that some of the furniture looked a little lawn furniture / patio-esque and not all that comfortable. The waitstaff / bartenders were awesome and super excited to share info on drinks and their product. One bartender mentioned that brewing beer may also be in the future if the place takes off - very cool! read more

See all

Excellent food. Attentive server. I had a black bean burger from the gluten free menu, and it was delicious. The gf menu has a lot of choices. My two friends ate from the regular menu, and thoroughly enjoyed their food as well . One had calamari, and the other a falafel wrap.g read more

Absolutely love this place! We showed up ten minutes before the kitchen was going to close but the manager not only accommodated a group of four but also checked up to ensure we were able to order everything and food was arrived in a timely manner or not! Food was amazing and the drinks were seriously delicious! The server was a sweetheart and constantly made sure we were satisfied. Check out their burger y'all going to drool for real! Five star for this spot and whenever we are in town, we are paying this place a visit! read more

We came in on a Saturday night because of how highly people spoke of this restaurant. I ordered an orange julep which was the worst drink I've had ever! The other person I was with ordered a special drink the bartender decided to make her. It was terrible, and even had the fat from the heavy cream sitting on top like some fatty veil, disgusting. We told the manager it was terrible and she could not care less. Overall a terrible experience. Never coming back here again. read more

Fantastic bourbon tasting - our favorites are the Barista and the Sasquatch. These are wonderful and unique gifts we love to give to others. We thought the fondue was unique with the big pretzel. Fun place to try and our now go to for Bourbon! read more

This former bank was a great find for dinner. Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Would highly recommend

We went to Social Still Saturday night for cocktails and dinner with two friends. My husband and I got there early so we sat at the bar for a couple pre dinner cocktails. The positives: The bartender was friendly. We couldn't have a conversation with him because they were busy but he was attentive. Bar patrons were friendly. We did have some nice conversations with the people sitting near us. Craft cocktails were good. The place was lively and the decor was clean and inviting. The hostess was very nice. Table service was fast. The negatives: Our server was not the friendliest. It seemed that she wanted us out. No bottled beer - there's only so many craft cocktails you can stomach in one sitting. The liquor should be the star of the bar. They really should push doing a tasting. While I felt the cocktails were good, they could've been using any old liquor. The bartender should've asked if we had been there before and offered the tasting since we hadn't. Our bartender, while good, did have to look up what was in one of the drinks he made for us. Ladies bathroom - only one. There was at least one person waiting all night. Overall I'd go back...not for dinner though. While the food was ok, it certainly wasn't dinner quality. Our table ordered every appetizer and every flatbread to split. It was fine but we definitely didn't feel satisfied when we left. We knew that going in so I didn't ding the rating for that. So go to Social Still for some pre-game cocktails! read more

Went here tonight with my fiance for date night. We read good reviews but we're very disappointed. The drinks were OK but not very spectacular. Bookstore and plenty of other places have better drinks for that price. With real alcohol. The food was basically horrible. The crab Mac and cheese was OK. The tuna tartare is like three table spoons of tuna on a glass of seaweed salad. Ridiculous. The pork was boring something we could make at home and the short rib flatbread seemed like it was made using premade flatbread, caramelized onions were just regular onions and it was drizzled with BBQ sauce that was too strong and tasted like heinz. On top of that we were there for two hours. It took forever to get food and we had to ask for water, then ask for another because he only brought one for me and not my fiance even though I said "can wet please have done waters." Then had empty drinks way too often. Before our entrees came we considered telling them to cancel because we'd been there for 1 1/2 hours and just wanted to leave. Needless to say, timeframe of getting entrees to getting the f outta there was like 20 min. (Also... With this overcharging they could at least have fabric napkins... This isn't Fridays.) read more

First time visitor. Very cool place with unique drink offerings. Staff was very attentive and professional. Food and drinks very good. The bar table layout seemed a bit crowded ands need to be configured differently so bar patrons don't back into high top tables. Will deliverer go back. read more

Great drinks! Waitress was RUDE! I explained I had a food allergy and was told she had never had a customer with two food allergies. Unfortunately, they could not or would not accommodate my food restrictions. I will not be going back. read more

We went here for drinks after a fashion event. It was perfect. We were seated quickly and the drinks were so good. All the spirits are distilled in house. The ambience is very nice. I can't wait to try the food next time I am out that way. The service was friendly without being invasive. We had a great time chatting over drinks that tasted exactly as they were described in the menu. read more

Tried duck wings for the first time and it was decent. The mixed drinks were also great. But the biggest shout out is to their Denver steak meal. That thing was satisfying til the end but watch out for the spicy corn underneath the meat. Overall, this place is decent but don't take a date here if you're interested in conversations with them. I could barely hear my date talk and felt like I should've invested towards an as seen on tv hearing aid. read more

Fun place to drink tasty cocktails and eat equally tasty upscale bar food. Their homespun, addictive drinks are made even better by their own gin and vodka. Wholeheartedly recommend the pretzel with cheese dip - honestly, the best I've had with it's crispy/doughy pretzel and chunks of smoked bacon in a rich cheddar cheese sauce. Definitely recommend treating yourself to a fun night out at Social Still if you're in the Bethlehem area. read more

Great idea, poor execution. Came for our anniversary, we were excited to try some place new to us. Seated promptly, we had reservations through open table but it wasn't necessary on a Sunday apparently. Ordered a flight for myself and my wife ordered one of the mixed drinks. Flight was out in a minute. About 10 on the mixed drink. That pretty much set the awkward pace for the remainder of the evening. Ordered an appetizer to start with, the charcuterie. Out in two minutes. Maybe that's great service, but I prefer to believe my $14 app is getting sliced and cut to order, not sitting in the fridge pre cut. An assumption on my part I admit, but it seemed to fit with the general motif. If you look at the website, you will find a brief quote that says something to the effect of, "are you a distillery, a restaurant, etc"? The answer from the establishment is, we are all of these. My answer is, you are a distillery with a terribly awkward table service. The food came way too fast, the drinks way too slow. The woman that played hostess duty while we were being seated was suddenly working behind the bar and running drinks upstairs while a couple that walked in waited 8 minutes for a seat, without even a hello. Two seats opened up at the bar and I imagine they figured that was their best choice, though not the one they came for. Pros: Good drinks, which should be expected given the asking price Atmosphere- old bank done up nicely Cons: Food service too fast, incredibly rushed Bar service far too slow- embrace your identity as a distillery first and man the bar appropriately. Food- I had the braised short rib and found it underwhelming (could be a me problem). Wife had the chicken which she said was ok, but the accoutrement that came with was far more tasty than the chicken itself Staff- no dress code to speak of, some uniformity would go a long way for the prices they ask. Friendliness, hit or miss. Owner or manager on duty, slow down and coach your people into good service, it can't all be on your shoulders. I'd go back for drinks, at the bar, which is where you get any semblance of appropriate service. Skip the meal. read more

Stopped in for a night cap, and wow...it was awesome, drinks were perfect and well balanced. the tapas were just right...and to say this was an old bank that was covered to a distillery. Great place... read more

Ambiance is great, the distillery behind the bar changes colors and is mostly dark and trendy. The infused liquor flight for $10 was well worth it as you can try 4 different liquors without committing to a full shot for eachy. Mixes drinks are made with their own distilled liquor and well made. The burgers were ok, nothing to write home about but the housemade chips were great. The housemade peanut butter cookie with ice cream was soft and fresh and would definitely order it again. read more

This place is amazing! Great drinks, great food and stellar atmosphere. Y'all need to get here!

The gin blossom tastes like NyQuil. The drinks are somewhat sugary. The atmosphere is probably the best thing this place has to offer. Food choices are decent. read more

Love this place! Went here last night with my boyfriend for celebratory drinks and dinner. They have the traditional Moscow mule in copper mugs (which we love) plus a variety of others drinks and beer/wine. Very happy that they have a vegan black bean burger, even listed that "Just Mayo" vegan mayo was used on it. Love to see this for those of us with alternative diets! Thank you! Will visit again soon :) read more

Having a vegetarian wife, it was nice to see a restaurant where the prix fixe Valentine's Day menu had a vegetarian option for all 4 courses! All of the food and drinks were top notch. The filet was a perfect medium as ordered, the egg plant rollatini had a delicious light cheese sauce that was a nice departure from the typical heavier fare, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. It's surprising to find food this good at a distillery where you woudn't expect the restaurant to be the primary focus! read more

The service wasn't great and it was terribly expensive... that being said it was a holiday and perhaps this could have contributed? I would have liked to see something more out of a high class place. read more

We loved our experience last night! We stopped in to share some small plates before a concert at ArtsQuest. This place was unique because instead of bread, Social Still offers free popcorn on every table! The decor inside was awesome. We shared the calamari, tuna tartare tacos, and the flatbread du jour. I definitely see myself coming again! read more

Great place to go . Fresh fun food. Much better than the food at casino. Very reasonably priced and great cocktails. Burgers and tacos were fantastic. Highly recommend the charcuterie appetizer. Will definitely return. read more

Horrible over priced food( tiny portions, bland and was like chewing on a Band-Aid Service is so slow and rude!...Place is trendy, hipster place with highly overpriced drinks...and don't even think about bringing a large party, because they will kick you out the second you make too much noise...I've seen and heard about this on numerous occasions...Owner Adam? Was cocky and rude read more

Great staff,, gorgeous venue (ask for a tour, the place is amazing!) and tasty drinks! Next time we'll be staying for what looking like a very tasty meal too. read more

Fantastic drinks, good music (I was not there for live music, just what they had on the speaker system), friendly service, nice atmosphere. Only con is that the food menu is tiny, but maybe that will grow with time. read more

We really wanted to try this establishment since from the exterior it looked very nice & something that we expected to have good drink & food. Horrible mojito with extremely tiny chopped leaves that we had to let settle to the bottom. It also had a lot of spoiled brown leaves. Food was tasteless. Not impressed at all & definitely not going there again! read more

On a lovely weekend evening, after taking in a movie @ Steel Stacks, we decided to take a stroll to this ex-bank turned restaurant. After seating ourselves at the bar we waited for one of the two bartenders to take our order. It took a few minutes to get their attention as they were too involved in their showy mixology tricks to notice customers. Mixing drinks is one thing, but playing the maracas is another. It was very unnecessary and distracting. It wasn't like the joint was packed but there they were, constantly shaking up drinks above shoulder length. When we were finished we waited again for their notice to get our check. Not once in between did they even look at us. The LEAST engaging bartenders we've ever seen. It was a cold and unpleasant experience. Also the music and sound quality SUCKED. Too bad, because the appetizers were good and the atmosphere stunning, but we're not going back. read more

This place was outstanding! The food, the cocktails, the ambience and the attentive wait staff was awesome! It was simply wonderful!

So the decor is great with the exposed brewery machines. The railing came off on the stairwell when we were there. Wed requested a specific type of table for reservations and it didn't get through but the wait staff was so fabulous about the whole thing. The portions are HUGE so I recommend the small plates because honestly that's the normal size of a dish especially if you do a starter. The cheese board was great but the red peppers obviously came out of a jar (or they were doused in oil) but everything else was great. The food was good and the drinks strong. I'd go back again some time. read more

Found this place while visiting this part of PA and I must say I'm glad I did. Great place nice environment I would stop by anytime I'm in the area. read more

Good: Ordered a simple vodka tonic, which was excellent. Service was friendly. Meh: Ambiance/vibes inside felt a little stiff. Also, their hours are pretty sad for a place with such a heavy bar slant (8pm on weekdays, 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays). Hopefully they plan to stay open later after they're more established. read more

My favorite place for a cocktail. Hands down. I've never ordered fewer than 3 in a visit, determined to work my way through their ever changing menu. They are THAT good. read more

Excellent atmosphere and the food and drinks were delicious. Staff were friendly and the service as great. It was our first time here and we will definitely be back! read more

The bar service was super slow and not very sure of itself. It seemed like each staff member was on a different page. Also the prices weren't displayed for drinks which was deceptive when I waited twenty minutes to close my two drink tab that was 20 dollars. Not as big of a selection as I had anticipated for how the place was hyped up read more

Spirits are average, think house well type stuff. Great menus the spirits just can't deliver. Food menu is also diverse with plenty of choices. The new menu is ambitious but the execution isn't there yet, calamari was excellent but the crab hush puppies were burnt and the fries were soggy... what gives? They're all fried? Did they cheap out on Fryers? Great building, atmosphere... service was excellent . However... the owner dude is obnoxious and it's hard to relax with him yelling at everybody! Relax dude. read more

amazing drinks and atmosphere! love the decor and lighting and the appetizers were quite delish

Currently at this establishment. Its a well lit room, well lit by like relaxing and welcoming. Sitting at the bar.. Bar is solid, clean, and up to date. They have a couple local craft beers on tap (4). Their drink menu is very well put together the drinks seem to all work. I had a old fashioned and it was perfect. Sweetness and the bitterness worked perfect. Didn't have any food but the complimentary pop corn was a good touch. Staff is friendly and attentive. Old school bank feel with a hip update. I can summarize it up in 3 words. "I dig it". I'll be back. read more

Wonderful service but, the food was not very good. The steak was chewy and the vegetables were a bit sweet

I went to Social Still for my first time yesterday. I grew up and Bangor and visited the winery numerous times with my parents over the years. When I heard Adam was opening his own restaurant I knew it had to be great. I ordered a mojito. It was really good. For dinner I just ordered the crab Mac and cheese. I wish it was a full sized dinner! The staff was so nice, very friendly. If you're in the area stop by Social Still. You will not be disappointed! read more
