So my Partner and I finally had a chance to dine in at Social 21 Bistro yesterday evening. We made it before "Drunk Bingo," and had the place to ourselves. Our server Cameron was very attentive and anticipated all of our needs. During our visit the Owner greeted us and thanked us for dining in. He then told us the different events he has nightly and that we can see the future lineup on their IG page. He was even accommodating by allowing me to sub out my side for another. Before he retired for the night, he brought us some complimentary shots that they give out during the bingo game.
::we took advantage of their Happy Hour Menu (5-7)::
-fried green tomatoes with added crawfish sauce
-fried egg rolls
-House Cabernet (bogo and $3 off)
::For Dinner::
My Partner and I ordered the Social 21 Plate. We both chose the fried catfish option (I wanted mine fried hard sub grits. My server said they couldn't sub out my side. That is when my Partner saw the owner and explained the situation at hand. He obliged my simple request.
-Social 21 Plate, fried catfish over rice (mine over grits)and topped with crawfish sauce with broccoli and grilled shrimp.
We ended up staying to see what Drunk Bingo was all about. The restaurant quickly filled up during the 7 o'clock hour. We were given our bingo cards at 7:30 and the event didn't start until 8pm. The first set of cards were complimentary and any additional were $1 each.
During this event there was a live DJ. He was very engaging and played a lot of great old school R&B jams and blues songs. My Partner won the first round of bingo. We stayed during the entire event which lasted an hour. Shots were given to everyone (their house juice.) We took advantage of their Bingo Wing Special ($1 a wing.)
-10 lemon pepper wings (wasn't enough seasoning for my liking)
