LOVE the Social! Great urban underground atmosphere to hang out, talk, play games,etc. Also! There are a number of great local food trucks sharing the same kitchen so there is a wide selection of great food! I will be coming back

Super cool place, the drinks were decent and the Texan whisky drink shocked me that It was alcohol free, but the star of the show by far was the food! The recommended special was amazing (Peruvian chicken) the chicken was flavorful and tender and the Betsy Bowl was really good with their fresh made pasta sauce. I've been making pasta for years with fresh sauce and I dare say it's one of the best I've had in utah as well. Will definitely be eating here again!

I was extremely curious about the concept of a dry bar here in Provo, so we stopped by to check it out. We were quickly greeted by the chef who made some food recommendations and the host was great at suggesting some of the mocktails on the menu. As we were waiting for our food, I was really impressed by the atmosphere, basically feeling like a more “gentle” bar scene social setting with great live music. When the food came I honestly did not expect the impressive presentation and the food was delicious. Everything tasted really high quality and fresh. Overall, it’s a fun setting, the food is great, and the employees are all extremely friendly. Definitely one of my new favorite places in Utah Valley!

The ole kitchen was great, all their dishes were so full of flavor. A delicious taste of the Mediterranean cuisine totally recommended. The place atmosphere is friendly and welcoming a good place to go with friends.

First walking in we were overwhelmed by the choices but the guy who took our order was so so helpful. Shared some of his favorites and more information about everything. We tried several things: Beef Bulgogi, waffle fries, Yoyo's chicken fajita bowl, the Autumn flatbread, Luna Cubana, and chorizo bites. Everything was so delicious! My favorites were the Bulgogi, waffle fries and the Autumn flatbread. We then ordered some dessert and tried the chocolate cake, a cranberry and almond tart and the lemon tart. The crusts were excellent. The cranberry almond tart was the absolute best!

If you're coming here, you're coming for the vibes. I loved the idea of the place and as an under-drinking age adult, it was a very nice place. My drink was delicious. The fact we could sit and eat on a couch while playing a game from their impressively extensive party game collection was just the cherry on top. The food was okay, but I will be returning for the drinks alone

Really cool place to hang out and get a variety of drinks and food. They have local artists art on the walls for sale. They also have local musicians do open mic performing on the weekends. Pool table. Comfortable seating spaced enough for private conversations. Spacious. They also showcase local and upcoming chefs food. Owner is an awesome guy and the service is friendly and impeccable. Highly recommend.
