Social Urban Bar & Restaurant

Social Urban Bar & Restaurant Welcome to Social Urban Bar & Restaurant. Chef-driven and locally rooted, our menu is built around fresh ingredients from regional growers we trust.
(855)

Chef-driven and locally rooted menus including small plates meant to share or make a light meal, and large plates like our Hot Chicken or Pork Chop along with a full-on bar program that treats mixology like an art form. Social was opened in 2010 in the busy 500 block of east state street in Downtown Rockford as a highly focused cocktail bar and restaurant. We’re more than a bar or a restaurant –

we’re a meeting place for those who appreciate big flavors, handcrafted beverages, and a dinner party atmosphere. Expect charcuterie boards packed with unique handmade meats and regional cheeses, small plates meant to share or make a light meal, and large plates like our Hot Chicken or Pork Chop along with a full-on bar program that treats mixology like an art form. Yes, we carry absinthe. Yes, our cocktails might come with a show and no we don't have Fruit Loop flavored Vodka... but if you're into that kind of thing, ask the bartender to do a take on it, and let the experience begin. Whether you’re stopping by after work, gathering with friends, or marking something special – you’ll find warm service, an inviting atmosphere, and an urban feel in the heart of the city.

Father’s Day deserves a proper steak.

Chef Taylor has created the perfect feature for the occasion: 14oz Eikman's beef ribeye, confit fingerling potatoes, house cultured yogurt tzatziki, sheep's milk feta, pickled red onion, olive oil, za'atar.

Whether you’re celebrating Dad, grabbing a cocktail after work, or simply looking for a great dinner, stop by and spend the evening with Adam, Ari, and Kwesi at Social.

Great food. Great drinks. Good company. The three things fathers have been claiming to want for decades.

This is Dr. Mike, and he is holding one of Adam's greatest creations ever- Dr. Mike's Medicine. A Malort cocktail. Featuring Malort, Maraschino liqueur, lime, grapefruit, and orgeat. Come and get one- it will (probably not) cure what ails you.

But he can, and next to him is Dr. Ryan. They are headed to Honduras tomorrow on a surgical mission to help people. Wish them luck!
