    I'm a fan of a silver diner anywhere so learning about their cocktail concept was a welcome surprise. Located in the navy yard on the 2nd floor of the diner, it has an upscale & cozy aesthetic with more intimate lighting & seating. I stopped by for cocktails and light bites with my family. Service was quick & polite. We ordered a round of cocktails that were delicious, an order of old bay potato chips (sublime! but not enough), the sliders were pretty good (Waygu & Crabcake) and the bacon/ricotta flatbread was interesting but ultimately an acquired taste of the good variety. This is a great option for quality cocktails and finger food in a casual dining.

    Lovely place above Silver Diner. Went here for the happy hour on a nongame day. They have a large bar and high tops to accommodate a number of people. Drinks were good. Nice variety of items at the same price point as surrounding places. Nice outside seating that overlooks the stadium. Good choice. I'd return for dinner.

    We came on a Saturday night and they have happy hour that starts at 9:30 on certain drinks for $8. I like that they have a mini size of the entree if you want something a little smaller. The bartender was slanging drinks but still attentive. My lobster pasta had a lot of flavor and I would order it again. I feel like there could have been more fingerling potatoes in the basket for $9 sheesh. Overall we enjoyed ourselves to conclude date night.

    Came here with some friends just to grab a drink and I love their outdoor seating area! Nice views of the city and also covered which is a win. My friend got the sliders and loved it and I got the gin drink and loved it. Solid spot.

    Went to silver social for brunch on a Sunday. The place was filling up since there was a local game playing. I was able to get a table outside. The waiter I had was friendly and made sure to check in. I ordered the churro French toast. Brioche bread, raspberries and a chocolate churro sauce. This was my first time trying and it was delicious.

    Old bay wings.

    Definitely enjoyable! Went here October 6, during the Chris Brown concert. At first it was iffy as we were sat but not attended to. I went up to the hostess stand to address it and possibly move. Two servers were up there talking and the hostess was on the phone handling a customer. Stood there patiently then one of the servers asked me if I needed something. I explained then he informed me that's what they were discussing and give them a moment. I didn't quite care for this interjection as I wasn't needing him nor did he even resolve the issue. The hostess got us together right as she got off the phone. Anyway, we got moved and attended by Evan. Evan has got to be one of the best servers I've had in such a long time. The food was great and Evan's recommendations were fantastic. I had just got the old bay wings. I'd go back in a heart beat for those. I do wish they offered fries and possibly changed up the menu. I've been here multiple times and after a while you kind of want to see new items. I'd say the prices are reasonable. On top of the wings, I ended up getting a martini and two (generous) pours of the Cabernet. Drinks were great all around.

    Went here on a Sunday, during a busy time when there was a concert at the national park. Went around 3:30 so in between dinner and brunch, they were just doing last call for brunch. We sat upstairs on the balcony overseeing the Navy yard and loved it. It did get a little warm but they have fans you can ask them to turn on if needed. Our waiter Carlton was a sweet heart and trying his best to manager a number of tables. We did have an issue where half of our table ordered around 3:45pm and didn't receive our food until 5:00pm. While folks at our table who showed up late around 4:15pm for their food about 20 minutes after and the table next to us who also ordered around the same time as our 4:15pm guests. Our table had 5 people so not big. Nonetheless the table had crab cakes, the CHIMICHURRI wings, the waygu sliders, the steak and chips, the hot honey wings, and CRISPY SMASHED FINGERLING POTATOES. Everyone loved their entree except the waygu sliders lacked flavor and seasoning. Everything else was super flavorful and tasty and we honestly can't wait to go again to try other items and take advantage of their bottomless cocktail on the brunch menu. Only gave four stars due to the timing of receiving our food but we are hopeful that next time we don't have to deal with the stress of our order not coming out within a reasonable time.

    Crab cake 10/10
    Brandi A.

    Got the crab cake main dish and shrimp tacos. Everything was delicious. I love the ambiance and how it's more of a vibe than the downstairs-silver diner. Great place to grab drinks at the bar!

    Came here for drinks with mom! Very eclectic crafted cocktail menu in addition to wines and beers. Seated promptly and had our orders taken. Took a little longer than expected for 2 drinks but what was worth it! We had the Fancy Colada and Watermelon Drop. Filled to the brim you get your moneys worth! Fresh ingredients and fresh garnishes really enhanced the drink. While we didn't have food, they do have full lunch/dinner/brunch menus. The food we saw go by did look delicious! Located on the second floor of the Silver Diner, this spot is the cool place to be seen! Large bar area and small dining area. Definite place for pre or post game drinks and food! Check out their sister place downstairs too Silver Diner!

    Steak medallions with homemade chips
    Tamara S.

    First time visiting, and I will say, it was an experience, in a good way. The menu was slightly different but good. I tried the Ceasars salad. The description stated the romaine was crispy however, it was not. A little disappointing, but the creativity was good. The taste of salad was good, but was a little soggy. I had the medallions medium-well and those were great. I would definitely recommend them. Our waiter was friendly and efficient, with our large party. Hostess waa friendly as we came in. I will definitely return.

    Classic margarita
    Donyiel C.

    Visited here a few days ago for happy hour. We got seats at the bar shortly after they opened up at 4. If you want a seat, get here early. Located at the top of Silver Diner and right across from the stadium, it's not hard to find! It's just a block up from the Navy Yard metro station. They have great happy hour specials considering the area! I'm sure soon when baseball season starts it'll be crowded! I liked the margarita I got. I wasn't too hungry as I had a late lunch, but I tried the wagyu sliders - very delicious. Add Silver Social to your list!

    Flatbread
    Farhat K.

    Solid happy hour spot. Came with colleagues and we got lit. I ordered four mules and they were super refreshing. Got the old bay wings, flatbread, and burger as appetizers. All of them were great. Wings were cooked well and slightly crispy, def hit with the sauce. The two wagyu beef sliders were tender and tasty, easy to wolf down. And the flatbread had a slightly sweet taste (prolly from balsamic) that I enjoyed. Service was really good, we were never without water. And the vibes are cooler on the second floor so it was nice. Overall, a solid spot to grab some food and drinks for hh. Just one nitpick, don't have the first tip option as 20%, give the other choices before it too (like 15% and 18%).

    I have returned, and was NOT disappointed. This review is mainly for the customer service, every visit honestly just gets better and better. My server Evan was absolutely amazing, he's new to DC he knew the menu even from being there barely 2 weeks he was on top of his game & deserves recognition Evan & Nelvin both made sure my guest and I exited our visit I even got the chance to meet Sous chef Marlon who made those fantastic wings that Evan recommended. Nelvin gave us a complimentary drink token which I will be back to use

    Yes, it's daily at the bar. Silver social is closed all Mondays and Tuesdays.

Really enjoyed the local bass which had a crispy skin and was cooked at the perfect amount of tender. The cocktails were good and our server was friendly. The black squid ink pasta was good. The sweet potato pie was okay, potentially lackluster compared to the rest of the food. Loved the indoor / outdoor seating especially on a day that had beautiful weather.

I had never been before, and he was seemed curious to try, so we stopped by. They have outdoor seating, but there was no service at the time, which was too bad because the weather was outstanding. The host is said we could take drinks out there, but not food. So we just opted for the bar. Thankfully, they eventually opened one of the doors real wide so the outdoor air was coming in and that was nice. Happy hour was going until 6:30, and I have to admit that some of these happy hour prices are regular prices at other places XD, but remember it's the wharf. And there was a time when happy hour there wasn't even a thing. So I got a glass of wine and yellowtail tacos with salad. I wasn't expecting the yellowtail to be fried, but it was fine. The salad was way bigger than I thought it would be. It was good. My cousin got the burger and fries... I tasted it and I think I enjoyed the burger more, haha. That smoked cheddar, whew! I found the fries to be pretty average. The ambiance of the place is very nice and I could see myself returning. Some other people at the bar got some amazing looking dishes too, but I know they were expensive XD.

The process was secure, the food and beverage minimum was fair, and once everything was confirmed, I felt completely set. When we arrived, our tables were already arranged and set up nicely. The space looked great and was perfect for a large group dinner. The only hiccup happened at the start. Our server briefly tried to seat another party at our reserved tables. They were part of a large group as well, just not nearly as large as ours. Once I let him know they were not with our party, he immediately moved them to their correct smaller table and everything was resolved quickly. Another small disappointment was that they were already out of the lasagna and the sangria, which was surprising since we arrived right at the start of dinner service. After that, the night went smoothly. Service was good, drinks came out fast, and food timing stayed consistent even with such a large group. If they have the braised ribs, you absolutely need to get them. Hands down one of the best dishes on the menu. Generous portions and full of flavor. The blood orange mule was decent and refreshing. The spicy margarita had great flavor, though I would have loved a little more heat. Still very enjoyable. Overall, Makers Union handled a 22 person reservation extremely well. Great atmosphere, solid service, and food that delivers. I would definitely return for another group dinner or celebration.
