Matthew's gem to be honest. I've only been here twice, both times on a Friday night. It's actually busier during the week sometimes but either way it's a great place to grab a drink with light music AND live music (in the back), Service staff is very professional and incredibly friendly. Drinks are delicious and well made and food is always on sight for a quick snack. Cheesesteaks, hotdogs, etc. read more

Drinks were excellent but there is very little seating available inside. Service was okay, nothing special. Just made it seem like it was a bother to them. The cookie butter espresso martini is definitely delicious! read more

I love Matthew's social house! Nothing better than sitting outside and having a Hugo spritz on a nice summer day with friends. Also the renovations they did on the inside are SO nice. It is a great spot and I also heard they are so nice of you want to host an event! I love to come here and hang downtown it is the perfect spot! read more

Came here for Saint Patty's day weekend and it's off the hook! Bagpipers Irish dancers I'm a slowly good people looking for a good time. This is the first Saint Patty's Day party here since they took over the old beer temple building on trade Street. I think everyone that lives in Matthews is here! Anyone who likes to have fun anyways. Good times good drinks great atmosphere good music! Only complaint is pendant light hanging in front of the TV blocking my view while I'm hoping Man City whips the snot out of West Ham. Check it out when you can! Cheers! read more

Rustic Irish pub vibe , very welcoming and focuses on community . The venue perfectly blends cozy indoor charm with expansive outdoor space. Inside, the pub feels intimate and traditional like a genuine neighborhood spot in Ireland with a pool table, live music, and a bar that encourages conversation. You can tell that whomever designed this place designed it to foster social interactions with the long tables where strangers can intermingle and converse . Hours are generous: weekdays from 3 PM to midnight (or later in the lounge), and weekends from 11 AM to 2 AM, making it versatile for brunch vibes, afternoon hangs, or late-night drinks. Food centers on a Social Burger truck with simple, well-executed options: classic cheeseburger, Carolina BBQ burger, and Aloha burger (with pineapple and signature sauce "crack sauce" read more

This is probably my favorite bar in Matthews! I love a good Irish pub and Matthews Social House is a very charming one with great neighborhood vibes. They actually recently took over the former Beer Temple spot next door so they now have two indoor bars, along with their outdoor beer garden. The inside of the former Beer Temple feels a little more high end while the original building is a little more dive bar like but both are great spots to post up for a drink. They have plenty of outdoor seating along with heaters and fire pits for the colder nights, and lawn games and food trucks as well. Overall this little corner of Matthews is a great place to post up with friends and get your drink on! read more

Matthews Social House - Outside of the original Social House. - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Had some time to kill before our room was ready, so we went to downtown matthews. Having never been here, was pleasantly surprised at the options. Chose Matthews Social House, which had a great environment. Bartender was great and attentive. Saturday afternoon with nice weather, a lot of people came in the front door and went to the back. Large area, to drink / socialize out back. (next time) read more

I come to the social house pretty regularly as part of the run club that is affiliated with the bar. It's a cozy space inside with basic drink options and outside they have a fantastic patio area to sit outside and enjoy some nice weather. They frequently have live music and create a great vibe when you need a fun spot in Matthews to hang! read more

Great vibe and great service. They make you feel right at home. Would love to see a cheap PRB option though.

On a visit to Charlotte, North Carolina, this apparently was the place to be. Matthews is definitely a small town in my opinion and the fact that this amazing family friendly bar was opened up was just the perfect addition. After I was picked up from the airport, we headed straight to the bar top and ordered some whiskey drinks and burgers from the food truck outside. Just to be clear, this is a whiskey bar. How can you go wrong with this place. I ordered the jalapeño burger, which was pretty good, but I honestly could've used more of a kick. My spice levels are not the same as everybody else's so it could be plenty for you. If being inside doesn't work for you and or your family, there is a large outdoor space with plenty of picnic tables, cornhole and even an ice cream truck. There was an update on Instagram that they opened up their outdoor bar as well, which is very convenient if you need to keep an eye on your kiddos. I honestly would be a regular if I lived in the area because this would definitely be a great place to come hang out with my friends on any given day. read more

I'm hesitant to write this post. Not because MSH doesn't deserve five stars, but because I feel this is an awesome hidden gem in Matthews. Matthews Social House is a small pub stashed just off the main drag in town, with a comfortable quaint bar area inside and an area as big as the pub itself out front. Outside offers up many picnic tables for gathering with friends, corn hole, and an ice cream food truck conveniently located just to the right of the pub if you have kids to bring with you. There's also a food truck serving up burgers and, from what I hear, amazing fries just to the left of the pub. The burger truck can be ordered from inside the bar. The inside of the pub is relatively small, that to me is what makes this place great. It will get crowded at night and on the weekends but it's the perfect type of place to grab a pint after work and not feel like your in a gymnasium. It's comfortable with 50 people or two. Feel free to check this place out, but don't go telling every one of your friends about it, I don't need them taking my seat at the bar. read more

I had a friend visiting from Los Angeles and it was later in the evening when we headed out. This place was open, WE HAD SO MUCH FUN! Good drinks, I played pool for the first time in years, met some nice people. The crowd was jovial and the bartenders were cool. Thank you for a great evening! I will be back with more people. :D read more

Amazing service! Our bartender was friendly, quick and helpful. It was lively and fun on a Saturday afternoon despite ice and snow on the ground. We didn't eat there, but I don't think they were serving lunch. read more

I stopped by MSH after my Sunday league soccer game ... we took a 6-0 beating, but man did this place fix me right up. Beers were ice cold. Food was incredible - one of the best pub burgers that I have EVER had in my life. Wow - just WOW. And the fries were also amazing! Riley and Jacko behind the bar were stellar! This place is a great addition to the area. Do yourself a favor and go check them out. -Marco read more

Matthews Social House - a sandwich and a beer - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Having known the owners (Gary, Jacko and Steven) of this new place in Matthews for a long time, one of them for over 4 years, sorry , this is a biased review. Lol. Mattys SoHo sits in a small brick building behind temple mojo, just off Trade street in my sweet little town of Matthews, NC . The bar area is quaint with low ceilings and dim lighting with plenty of seating in a large area with a pool table. There are other board type games dotted throughout the place as well. The decorations of the vintage pictures, whiskey jugs/pitchers, and various Irish framed posters make it feel like you're in the cozy den of some really good friends. These guys will make you feel like family right away . (Including Downtown Lewis Brown who spins an amazing Playlist on the weekend, & also makes a delicious cocktail) There are 2 TVs situated over the bar for those who need a sports fix. A big plus for me is knowing that there are bathroom checks done ! This place can get quite busy in evenings and weekends and I personally like when there is toilet paper and soap at all times and the toilets are tidy. Lol. There are plenty of drink options for all tastes with plenty of beer on tap (including Guiness ), bottles of brew, cocktails, wine or seltzer. If being inside isnt your thing, then have a seat outside on one of the many, many picnic tables . Hungry? , try The Social Burger also on the premises and Nixon will serve you up an amazing burger and fries. (Including a vegan option). Get your sweet tooth filled at The Local Scoop icecream truck in the family friendly outdoor shared space. Matthews has exploded with food and bev options for just about anyone, add Matthews Social House to your list of places to try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Attended a birthday party for my son-in-law that was set up by my daughter. Had not heard of MSH but will tell you we had a very enjoyable time. One of the owners, Jacko, made us feel at home in his Irish pub/whiskey bar and honestly felt we found a bit of Dublin in Matthews. Numerous offerings of whiskey, bourbon and beer - many on tap. No food but often a food truck is parked nearby or you can bring from several nearby restaurants. Check it out. You may just find it to be a favorite. read more

What a great pub in the heart of Matthew's. Feels exactly like a small pub in Ireland. No cheesy leprechauns or shamrocks everywhere. Excellent selection of beers and bourbons. Very spacious beer garden with multiple food trucks. Games are great too. The service was great although no servers. But that's fine with me. There's a window you can order from when on the patio which is really convenient. Will be back for an orange tea and Guinness real soon. read more

We had a great time there. It amazes me that there are still parents that refuse to discipline their kids. Food was great beer was cold

Look... here's the reality. It's a real pub.... And it's great. Drinks are great. People are great. Burgers are great. Bartenders are great. Atmosphere is great. read more

The drinks are good with an ice cream shop right by. The food is where the star goes away barely any options.

This place is a wonderful hidden gem! It's a great place to go to meet new people and hang out. Bartenders are great! There is a big front patio with bean bag toss and an ice cream truck! They have a burger truck as well that is out of this world! Highly recommend checking out! read more

not friendly environment. bartender was not nice, told her there were no qr codes on the outdoor patio tables (only on the barrel tables which are not comfortable) and she said there were as if I hadn't just checked. then she slid the qr code for the bar over to me and started scrolling on her phone. first and last time there. if you want a good burger, go to moo&brew across the street. read more

Burgers a crack fries are 2 die for, but it gets loud when packed because of the LOW ceiling.
