Went with some friends for good food and cocktails- we were satisfied! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's definitely more of a casual place with flat screen tvs and nice variation of pop music playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was very kind and gave us space to enjoy our cocktails after our meals :D We got the social view burger which was large and filling! Along with the social view pasta that had no complaints and came with a side salad. Buffalo chicken dip was delicious as well, overall super satisfied! read more

I wish this place would get better. This is the 2nd time I've tried it and it's just not very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio seating is cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the food is just meh. The options are very limited - mostly just burgers and sandwiches with a couple of salads, chicken fingers and fried fish thrown in. Everything is about $15-20. The service is what is really lacking here. Complete disinterest and they are clearly just reading off a script. "What kind of cheese?" "Do you want to add bacon?" (No, I ordered the French Dip. Who the hell orders bacon with that?!?) read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant gave you a sports bar vibe. With large flat screen TV's, high boy tables and great playlist of today's top pop songs. They even had an area where you could play darts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great. Our waitress was very personable and gave her honest opinion on which dishes we should try. Next is the food. I tried the Chicken dinner, which comes with a salad and one side (I got a loaded baked potato). The salad was tasty (although I wish it was a tad bit bigger). The Chicken breast was just okay. read more

The food was really good. We came here on two occasions everything we had was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was good and the culture of the bar was good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Don't come here for sports as it is not a sports bar[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and be mindful as to what you drink as the stairs are killer.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is much like an elevated dive bar. Great access to tvs. There's a neon sign and great light fixtures, ready to be captured.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Upstairs was closed when we visited but I look forward to trying that soon. Service was amazing! One lady on a Sunday night serving the entire place (4-5 groups) but she didn't miss a beat! Great explanation of menu and took good care of us! Food was great! I loved my pasta and side salad. Pasta portion was very generous and a two protein pasta (chicken and andouille sausage) for under $20 with a (very good) side salad was unbeatable. Loved that my side salad came with great toppings (tomato, onion, cucumber, cheese, hot pepper, sunflower seeds) and also with a warm roll. Will definitely be back! read more

Okay-went here with my girls and man oh man was this some good food. Flavorful, not salty there's a difference, and fresh! Our server was running the show solo and she smoked it, truly. I ordered "The Tub" which was too stinking cute. For food I ordered the Social Virw burger. I wanted something classic and it was great. I had a bbq and their chipotle mayo on the side. I will say I enjoyed the moisture the mayo gave the burger. My girls ordered the Social Pasta and the NY Strip. Both were so tasty. Served with a nice sized side salad with yummy toppings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is intentional on creating a space where you and those you come with truly can hang to be 'social.'[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bring your fav game or cards and make sure you visit The Social View sooner than later.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm excited to go back once it warms up so I can sit on the balcony.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I felt for the staff as this was a large sports tournament weekend and they did not have enough people working. You will have to wait so don't be in a hurry. The food was okay. Small portions and you will leave hungry if you share a plate. The chicken sandwich was good...I would stay away from the bang bang shrimp and baked potato. Gratuity is added. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, great environment, and everyone on staff is very friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Can't recommend this place enough! Try the mermaid water ;-) read more

This spot is located in the heart of downtown. There is metered parking and commercial parking/garages within a reasonable walking distance. I ended up parking at one of the meters right next to the bar. This is a pretty neat place. It is very hip and trendy. They have a nice patio out front that also wraps around the side where they have bar seating and televisions. The bar has two levels. Both levels have restrooms and loud music playing throughout. On the first level you will find a full bar with seating and a modest dining area. That is also where the kitchen is located. The second level also has a nice full bar with seating, a larger dining area and a decent patio area out on the deck that offers a nice view of the street and neighboring buildings. There is a couple of televisions in the dining area, but they have no sound. The staff there is very friendly and helpful. My server was very attentive, especially considering that she had to keep running up and down the stairs. The bar holds special events such as trivia and has daily lunch specials. They have a small menu here that consists of items such as salads, sandwiches, burgers, pulled pork, salmon, and fish. The special the day I was there was the Blue Cheese Burger, unfortunately I did not see it until I was leaving. f I had saw it earlier that is what I would have ordered. I ended up ordering the Cajun Burger, with a side of fries. It took about 15 minutes for me to get my food. The food was decent. It was definitely not the best burger and fries I have had, but you really cannot expect much at a bar. Anyway, I really liked the bar's vibe. It is very hip and trendy. I would probably not come here primarily to eat, but grabbing a bit while having a drink with friends or making new friends would be cool. I look forward to seeing where this place goes and wish it nothing but success. read more

My boo and I got our food to go last night! [[HIGHLIGHT]]He said inside was really nice and the music was on point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was so cold so I stayed in the car while he picked it up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the chicken tender salad and I thought it was OK. I am not sure what it was missing, but it just seemed like it needed a little more love. The egg rolls were OK also and the chicken sliders were pretty cool. I will say that the service was fast, we ordered our food and was able to pick it up immediately. read more

Nice new spot for downtown Indy! We enjoyed the patio seating on the second floor on a sunny, warm evening. I don't know what business was here before the Social View opened, but it's a great addition to the area. Plenty of street parking options nearby. We got there around 6pm but were told we could still order from lunch menu- cool! They have all kinds of things on the menu. It's impressive. Not just saldas and sandwiches- they have steaks and pasta too! I ordered a pulled pork sandwich. Wasn't feeling for the fries and I was glad I was able to substitute for broccoli (and it was a lot ) I loved both of them. It was quit, chill evening there catching up with friends. I'll definitely come back here. Pasta looked great too. Service was friendly. read more

Second time eating here. Great service and food. Love the patio. Friends tried Salmon and Blackened Tilapia. Said they wouldn't do the Tilapia again it was too spicy.

I got to visit this establishment. I believe it is somewhat newer to the area, but learned it is owned by a couple more local bars that are pretty popular; so I'm sure this place will be the same way. I came here with friends for our girls night out. We were all pretty tired from the past week, so something more relaxed was perfect for us. This restaurant was bright and fun inside, but still kind of "divey" at the same time. They do have an upstairs, but it was not open when we were there (it was later on a Sunday evening, so completely understandable). There were just a couple of tables there when we arrived, but more people began to come in after us. The bar made it seem like "Cheers" as the bartender greeted the newcomers by name. Our server was the bartender, server, and busser all in one. She was very attentive to all of her customers and very knowledgeable about the menu. She gave us some great recommendations and we were all happy with our food orders. We got the pasta, burger with fries, the New York strip, and we shared the SW egg rolls. Everything was seasoned very well. We had not one complaint. We were exited to learn the drink specials throughout the week and to know they are opened for lunch. I think after we left we were all sure we would be visiting again in the future. Thank you to our server Tabitha for a great first time experience. read more

I like the happy hour here. The food is really good and the drinks are priced very nicely. The view is nice as it faces west, but you can also see downtown to the southeast. It's comfy in here and Rachel, our bartender, has always been available and accommodating. The food here is really well done and you can definitely tell the kitchen staff is experienced. read more

Tucked away in a crossroads, this place requires you to ascend to the next level. I suggest giving the Social View Signature Sandwich a try - the bacon jam offers a delightful hint of sweetness, while the grilled chicken is exceptionally flavorful. Don't miss out on the delicious hot chips too. The service could be a bit sluggish. Expect to pay around $17 per individual, but it's absolutely justified! read more

Great place near everything in downtown Indy. Easy parking and great food and bar! Used to be the Bourbon Street Distillery and was a New Orleans designed kid of place before that. Still has a number of Crescent City inspired entrees and drinks! I had the Smoked Tomahawk Pork Chop with Red Beans and Rice and it was awesome! Service was great, friendly but efficient, and we were in and out in less than an hour. Would highly recommend! read more

Liked: The outside seating on the 2nd floor is great! Our waitress was also super friendly. People generally liked all the food we ordered. Disliked: If you are wanting to go upstairs, the stairs are steep/dark--be careful! Also, the cocktails do not have prices on the menu for the specials -- we were a little sticker shocked when the margaritas were $14 a pop. Definitely spent more than we thought we would here. Also, there are limited vegetarian options--no entrees were vegetarian. They are new, so I think they are still working on finding their footing! read more

We had a coupon and decided to use it and try out this place for dinner. It was north of downtown but there was plenty of parking available on the street. The restaurant is upstairs and the stairs are pretty steep along with a handrail not properly secured, so keep that in mind when visiting. It's not handicapped friendly, including the restroom. There were a few people at the bar but we were the only diners. All seats are high top which I always try to avoid. Our waitress greeted us quickly and got us started with drinks while we reviewed the menu. I chose the Cheeseburger and Hot Chips and my husband chose their signature Chicken sandwich and Onion Rings. Everything tasted good, I really enjoyed the hot chips. They had a nice crunch to him, but also had potato inside not all crispies like a potato chip. The hamburger was OK. I think it might've been a frozen patty. My husband really enjoyed his sandwich and the onion rings were delicious as well. Overall, we had a good dining experience except for getting up and down the stairs for me was tricky since I recently had a knee replacement.. read more

Fantastic food. When the server said all the food tasted good, they really meant it. I had the shrimp pasta and requested to make it non-spicy. After the dish was served, the server was waiting beside me to check that I was ok with my food. The balcony was wide and comfortable, very convenient for groups to hang out after dinner. Our group ended up going back there the following night. read more

No one there -after yelling hello several times someone who was laying on the kitchen floor sat up and said what do you want. Apparently they were only serving food upstairs.

We had an amazing time. Our server Jesse made us feel really welcome when we were coming in out of town to meet a friend.

Stopped in for dinner with my wife. We were seated right away. There were many varied indoor and outdoor seating options, but we chose a high table and barstools inside. Our waitress was excellent and attended to us immediately. The food did take some time to get to us, but understand two things: one, you can't rush art (the food was excellent); and, two, the place is made for gathering and discussion, it's not supposed to be fast. They encourage you to get an appetizer, sit back, have a drink; have a conversation. Hang out for a while. See who stops by. My only criticism - and I'm not sure it's one they could easily address, due to the age of the building - is that the place is not very handicap accessible. The main dining area is up a long flight of stairs. My friends and family in wheelchairs couldn't have made it, and that is unfortunate, because our experience was one that I plan to enjoy again. Perhaps we'll see you there? read more

Came in on Sunday night, starving. Nice atmosphere, sat upstairs. Friendly staff. Ordered a beer and NY strip, medium. That's the end of the positives. For the place being pretty empty, took a decent amount of time for the food to come out. I soon found out that was due to the steak being cooked to utter oblivion. I've never seen a steak ordered medium, cooked so far past well done in my life. It was grey. And completely unseasoned. The baked potato I ordered, with everything on the side, came out slathered in sour cream. Sent back as I can't eat sour cream, took 20 min to replace. I made a joke with the servers about how bad the steak was cooked, and that I didn't want another one or it taken off my bill, just to let the cook know. But afterwards she must have been a bit embarrassed that she didn't come back after that. I'm sure this is a lovely place to grab a beer, but don't eat here. read more

Sat down around 7:15 on a Thursday night to a mostly empty patio/dining area. We ordered fries as an appetizer... it's currently 8:04 and they haven't brought them to the table yet. Also, they were sold out of pork chops, it took the waitress at least 15 minutes after we put our order in before she came back to ask my husband what else he wanted. Took a good 25 minutes after we sat down for the waitress to even take our order. I wouldn't recommend this place, especially if you're even remotely hungry. read more

We visited this place last night with our be our guest gift certificate. Non descript front door with an immediate staircase. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We climbed up and upon swinging the gate open, we were greeted with a patron vomiting into the trash can! The bathroom was just around the corner! He got sick twice. Not a great first impression.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was friendly (the sick drunk guy was her friend) We tried the espresso martini and some yummy mermaid drink. Our food was VERY tasty and hot and came out quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice music and we played darts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, our gift certificate didn't "scan"....it had already been redeemed! We've never been there. Needless to say, that left a bad impression since our certificate was for $50. We've emailed the restaurant. We checked the be your guest website and it showed it was redeemed THAT NIGHT. Oh well. read more

I heard about this new bar/restaurant on a local social media page and the food looked so good. We started off with a few cocktails, I had the Glitteriffic which was raspberry vodka with some simple syrup, St Germain, lemon juice, and a pretty flower. It was a refreshing drink to kick off the weekend. For our meals, we had the French Dip and the house chicken sandwich. It had pepper jack cheese, habanero jam, and toppings. The fries were really good and seasoned perfectly. I definitely will be back. The decor was adorable and the service was fantastic! read more
