The establishment is fantastic and they found a way to make it cozy as big as it is. Our server was fantastic and knew the entire beer list and when asked what she recommended, she gave us a great idea on what to order drink and food wise. We sat upstairs above the front door and had a great view of the entire establishment. The bar tenders are surgical while making cocktails and talking to customers. We ordered the Brussel sprouts and truffle fries for appetizers and both were amazing. I ordered the mussels appetizer which was large enough to be a meal as my main. It was cooked perfectly and the wine butter sauce had a nice heat to it. My wife ordered a burger which was honestly too big to eat in one sitting. Cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. We were both a little under the weather so we didn't drink but the cocktail menu looks amazing and the table next to us raved about the drinks when I asked them. I can't wait to go back. Little tip, during the Christmas season make a reservation.
Now I get the hype! First timer, but definitely not our last. The food is exceptional - the drinks perfection all with good service. We started with the Chorizo Clams which were amazing. I had the KingPin burger which sounds busy but it's a flavor melody in your mouth! I swapped the fries for a panzenella salad - let me just say, salad shouldn't taste that damn good! I was driving so I opted for the local brew cup of coffee with dinner and as a true coffee snob I will say it impressed as much as the salad - it's so good I drank it black and had a second cup! That alone sold me that I have to go back for brunch.
Love that they took an old bank from the early 1900's. Preserved a lot of the original details of the building and maintained architectural integrity. The vault is open and decorated with barrels. It's a very hipster vibe bar. Need reservations on the weekend. Bar gets packed. Very trendy and patrons of all ages. Young groups and older couples. Really good mix of clientele. Little store to sell their stuff here too The staff are all friendly and attentive. They work really well together and make everything run smoothly. Drinks: Search for Figfoot - strong vermouth flavor. Good and not too sweet Are we there yeti? - like a lemon whiskey sour. Very strong lemon zest flavor. Mint to be blue- very good. Strong pepper flavor but not too spicy. Pairs well with the sweet. Food: -Harvest salad with shrimp- very good. Flavors pair well together. Just a bit dry, ask for extra dressing on the side if you order it -King Pin burger- good charred flavor. Basic burger. Hand cut fries are really good.
Social Still is a distillery and kitchen in Southside Bethlehem. They are open Tue - Thu 12:00PM - 10:00PM, Fri - Sat 12:00PM - 11:00PM, and Sun 11:00AM - 4:00PM. This place makes excellent cocktails, but I came for the food. The menu is seasonal so there are always new items to try. I started with the Mussels & Frites. It's made with sausage, garlic, shallot, absinthe, herbs, and hand cut fries. The mussels were fresh and the broth had a great flavor. The fries were soggy, but for this dish I didn't mind. For my entree I ordered the Thursday Special; 1/2 rack of apricot bbq ribs with cucumber salad and potato salad. The sides were enjoyable but the ribs were awful. Perfectly cooked ribs need a gentle tug to remove the meat. These required a pry bar. I usually never complain, but when we did our server was more defensive than apologetic. Luckily, management made it right. Our meals were comped and we were given a gift card to come back. Mussels & Frites - 8.2 Apricot BBQ Ribs - 1.9 Mom's Cucumber Salad - 7.4 Grandma's Potato Salad - 7.8 Food - 6.3 Service - 6.7 Value - 6.5 Restaurant score - 65
Really love this place. Best cocktails in Lehigh Valley with top notch service. Mika is fantastic. Had so much fun. Food is very good as well. Great atmosphere and ambiance.
My wife and I have visited Social Still on multiple occasions and we always have positive experiences. We have come here for date night, with small groups, and with a big group. I have bought their bottles for Christmas gifts. They have a rotating menu that changes every few months. On this particular visit, we came for her birthday. We had a reservation since it was during the first day of Musikfest and there was a sold out concert across the street. The waitress was spot on with her recommendations from drinks to entrees. We had the chips and dip for an appetizer. I'm not one for appetizers usually but the sour cream and onion chips were house made and they're my favorite. My wife had the Big Bad Wolf (three types of pork) and I had the burger. We got dessert and coffee as well. She ordered the peach cobbler, which donated part of the price to one of the cook's ongoing cancer treatments, and I had the carrot cake. We took home leftovers and everything was fantastic as usual. Highly recommend!
Went to a show at Wind Creek Casino and wanted to grab a bite before, so I searched the area for a nice spot. I think I found the BEST one! It's such a cool vibe, a neat building (old bank), great seating inside and out, upstairs and downstairs, bar... can't beat it. They have a little shop when you walk in where they sell mixers and spirits. I can't say enough about how good our experience was. Our server was excellent. She had great insight on the menu, great drink selections, food was hot, came out quick, and tasted amazing. The When I Dip, You Dip was phenomenal. I would order it every time. She suggested it to us, and we realized every other table had an order, usually a really good sign. I'm still thinking about it a week later, lol. The homemade chips, too (cue mouth watering). We ended up shifting from big entrees to small meals and more drinks... don't judge us, haha. Split shrimp Caesar salad, the grilled shrimp on the cold greens is one of my favorite contrasts. Shaved parm was a perfect addition to a good Caesar salad. We also split the chicken sandwich. It was so good! Comeback sauce and roasted tomatoes really made the sandwich for me... and the fries are awesome. All the drinks we had were phenomenal. Excellent spirits and menu. Next time I'm in Bethlehem, I will 100% return to Social Still. Excellent stuff going on here, check them out!
Wifey and I have stopped in here each time we've gone to the Christkindlmarkt, also in Bethlehem. Every time we've eaten here the food was absolutely delicious. This past year, we just stopped in for drinks and we were again impressed with their creations. I also got "taste-tested" into buying one of their bourbons. Our waitress suggested I try it so I went to the bar and asked the bartender who told me about it and when I tried it I immediately went and bought one. Do yourself a favor...stop in for a drink or two.

Attended Social Still with my parents and fiancée last Friday evening and couldn't be more excited to share our experience and recommend it to anybody who is interested in a wonderful evening out. Social still is located on Third Street in the thriving SoBO arts district. The restaurant itself is located in a former bank near the historic steel workers strike of 1910. Inside of the restaurant one will Be easily stricken as amazed by the ambiance as they can take in great views of the city, Bethlehem steel relics, a walkable bank vault, and an active distillery. Guests will be offered great food and drink options with local drafts and craft cocktails. As a patron, I would have possibly appreciated more food options from the menu, but it didn't lessen the experience. At the time of my visit, the short rib was completely sold out being a hot minute menu item, and certain menu additions could certainly benefit the central with a stronger arsenal of food options. Nonetheless, I am exceptionally grateful for the fun and splendid evening with my family while visited my hometown from out of state. The social still is a snapshot of the vibrancy and electricity in which the city of Bethlehem has continued to grow and thrive through the years. It is a certainly a must see for any local or visitor! read more

Built within an old bank building, Social Still is a wonderfully intimate bar and restaurant. Complete with a bar and bartop seating on the lower level and table seating on the upper level, it definitely feels bigger than it seems. The service we received was fantastic, with an attentive waitress with a great personality. The food, likewise, was fantastic, albeit a bit pricey. IMO, it's definitely worth the price. Everything we had was cooked perfectly and delicious. Social Still rocks and is definitely worth a visit. read more
**STILL Amazing ** Was super happy to see they now offer lunch!!!! I love this swanky place because the options are plentiful, unique, and fresh! I had started with their small chopped salad; SO good this was no ordinary side salad...i loved the seasoned toasted chick peas, pickled onions, and olives tossed in a light yet flavorful house made vinaigrette. Then I had the "Best Darn Veggie Burger" and it REALLY IS the best damn veggie burger I ever had. The portions are so generous that I had to skip some of the tasty sourdough toast it was on because I was so full; it was accompanied by a house made fresh summer slaw.....DELISH!!!! As per my 1st review dinners a amazing as well. This is a definite must try for lunch. It was perfect for my business lunch fast and fab service. read more

So this place was that good I went two days in a row and brought friends the second time. It's a really unique place that seems to be an old bank. They distill all of their own booze. I left with a bottle of bourbon, I love it but don't want to drink it all as I can't but it in Chicago to replace. The food was amazing, I had duck wings (both days!!) Cantonese style, these were so mouthwatering good. I have a craving for them now as I write this: I had a Bleau cheese wedge- which was one of the best cheeses I have had in a long time. read more

Very nice restaurant and distillery. All the spirits were delicious. Could have a few more items to eat but the cocktails were great. Try the breakfast margarita and the nachos, Yum. read more
Cool restaurant/distillery. Small location but we were seated quickly. Looks like this place was an old Bank, you can even check out the old vault where they have a few chairs and barrels. You can see the Still they use to make their own liquors. A lot of stuff is seasonal they said but try a flight of their spirits. They got some interesting ones. Food was great, I had the local duck which was the best duck I've had in my life. Finished off with Smore's fries. Took home a bottle of the barrel aged gin. read more

Wowza! That is a stellar review. I literally blushed. I am so…
I've been to Social Still a few times now and it's always been good. They now have a gluten free menu which is quite extensive and includes burgers with gf buns. The have a great cocktail list which features their own housemade spirits. My friend had a jalapeño cocktail that I had a sip off that was outstanding and had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. For dinner I had the beet salad and the mushroom truffle burger. The salad was just ok, I had oranges, lettuce, blue cheese and beets. It needed some additional flavor, either the beets needed to be seasoned more or the dressing needed some more flavor. But still not a bad salad. The burger was excellent, great flavor combination and instead of big chunks of mushrooms it's almost like a tapanade. Our server was efficient and got us everything we needed in a timely manner. They also sell their spirits by the bottle and have a cute little gift shop area. read more
Absolutely incredible atmosphere at Social Still, a restaurant and distillery in an old converted bank that incorporates the bank vault and marble flooring into its decor. Their copper still makes a gorgeous backdrop behind the bar, and there's seating on two balconies to allow a bird's eye view of the whole restaurant. Our group of four wandered in around 6PM on a Saturday without a reservation and were initially told that their next anticipated opening wouldn't be until 9:15 PM but that we could keep an eye on the bar. While we were waiting, we stopped into their corner shop to sample some of their spirits. The gentleman within the shop was a great salesperson, answering all of our questions with a smile and encouraging free samples (their Sasquatch, a vanilla-maple bourbon, is phenomenal and not overly sweet!). During our tasting, I happened to see a group leave the restaurant and stuck my head back out to check for bar availability. When the hostess saw me, she told me a table up on one of the balconies had just opened up and was free for the next two hours if we wanted it --- which of course, we did. I'm grateful she offered it to us, but confused how they didn't anticipate this as a possibility in the first place. We definitely almost left to find a new dinner spot. We were quickly seated at a 4-top with a magnificent view of the restaurant and the friendly waitress reviewed the highlights of the menu with us. All of their cocktails feature their spirits and they offer some great local beers as well. I chose the Ain't That America Old Fashioned which substitutes the citrus flavors for apple and was delicious. BF ordered the #basic cocktail, which was a spin on the classic PSL. We shared the Everything Pretzel for an appetizer, which was massive and coated with salt, garlic, poppy seeds, and sesame seeds. The cheese fondue dipping sauce was a perfect, while the apple dip just didn't quite seem to go. For my meal, I chose the Everyday I'm Trufflin' burger (after a long debate looking over an excellent menu). The meat was well seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the toppings complimented each other nicely. BF got the turkey sammitch (delicious, but kind of basic), and one of our friends got the schnitzel and seemed to enjoy the meat but found the accompanying pumpkin spatzle to be dry and less flavorful. For dessert, we ordered pumpkin creme brulee, which was pretty good. It was a still a bit cold while the sugar on top had burnt a little, so I think there was a heating debacle. The flavor was excellent though, tasting like pumpkin pie filling but creamier. Our server was great, even bringing us three versions of our checks as she tried to predict how we'd want some of the items split. I appreciated her forethought and effort in making our closing process easier. It wound up coming to around $60 per couple which seems really affordable. Very much looking forward to trying more items on the menu in the future! read more

Great drinks and always something new to try! The Cuban sandwich was not bad but bland. That's not usually the case, as I would highly recommend the truffle fries, poutine, and tacos whenever they are on the menu! The interior design is very cool since it used to be an old bank and they have a small gift shop to purchase their liquor and small gifts. Tip: bring a light jacket if you tend to get chilly easily. Call for reservations on weekend evenings just in case! read more

First time and my party of 4 made a reservation just in case. It wasn't busy when we had drinks and appetizers at 4pm but once it hit 530, this place got busy. It was a great, laidback atmosphere with great mood lighting and music. There are so many great drinks and food on the menu - coming back to try everything else ASAP. Parking lot available but also lots of street parking. Highly recommend the carrot cake and huckleberry crumble cake for desserts. Didn't get a picture of them because it was gone in minutes! You will not be disappointed, new favorite spot in Bethlehem! read more

This is a great place. The atmosphere is hard to beat. You have have knowledgeable servers who can help you with your food or drink options. They use their own spirits which is great to support local. It helps that they taste good as well. I got the stack burger. It was cooked well and had great flavor. Their fries were tasty. There is nothing better than having nicely cooked fries with a burger other than maybe a nice cocktail. Luckily I had both. I will be coming back again. read more

Wonderful evening! We started with a guava mojito & white witch rum mojito, both were amazing!!! Tried the pork nachos, holy tender pork, cheesy goodness. The avocado cream was delightful! I had the scallops for my meal and my daughter had the Denver steak..... I already knew I loved the scallops from my last visit and they didn't disappoint! The Denver steak was very yummy as well( got sauce on side and was a little spicy for my daughters taste but flavor was delicious) fries weren't your regular fried potato..... nope, truffly, Rosemary, salty goodness!!!! We can't stop there. Nope! I had the creme brûlée ( didn't even know it was banana, what a bonus!!!!) and my daughter had the s'mores in a jar..... yummerific! The service was excellent, and everything was top notch! I will absolutely be back and confidently recommend Social Still if you're looking for a nice evening out with great food and service!!!( oh, and we grabbed a bottle of the white witch to take home too) read more
